Judge Poc's instruction TO the Grand
Jury.

d
Judge Poc's Instruction TO the Grand
Jury,
Monday at Tulsa real judge ad-
dressed some reel remarks TO a
grand jury
/ In the opinion Of the By5ing
Light, It was a message from good
ana able iurlst TO people mad with
frenzy for temporary gain.
That n you please, was especially
applicable to the prize fight business
IN Tulsa, likewise this state.
Judge Poe declared prize fights
tho acme OF brutality tho very sum
nit Of human wlokedness
And Judge Poe, II you please,
stands as member OF the district
bench since statehood that has never
been reversed in higher courts on
construction OF law.
Judge Poe In doing a favor to
Tulsa. has done one for the state
and tho morals OF our people, Much
as II may displease some people TO
say IL. no prize fight was ever staged
in any community that was not an
outrage on the morals OF the commu-
nifty and lasting hurt to its people
In stating that Sapulpa has had
prize fights or boxing bouts which
were in plain conflict with the law,
the Evening Light desires to cast no
aspersion upon any official for all
were advertised within the law and
,Fg Ia. tA IA
a man Is going to violate the law.
But there is way to remedy this
And that Is to prevent them.
There Ia no use to allow someone
who make a great deal of money out
OF prize fights to delude you with the
idea that vast lot OF wealth Is
going 10 Jar loose over these out
RACES. Get this down into your mind
deep:
Those advocating are not trying to
boost the city so much az they may
have some interest that is aided by
tho game. In that the Evening Light
has no interest, for or against.
Rather. the Evening Light is sum
ming up 1t believes a prize fight Ia
hurtful to the common good. And,
20 believing, II declares unhssitatlng-
ly that the order OF Judge Poe
should be read and needed, He says
he will call a grand jury II that al
legged Flynn-Ufer- Norris mill 10
pulled off in Tulsa. The Post de-
oares that the mill viii come here,
"Ufer declares tho coast cities
want it-this, too, when Flynn and
Morris could not draw a thousand
dollar house outside OF Oklahoma and
and some wild Missouri points.
That mill is staged for Sapulpa-
was never staged for any other point,
II the people here can be bamboo2led
into standing for the brazen game.
Not less than seven weeks ago the
Evening Light Tulsa correspondent,
talking with the leading spirits OF
that city, stated that the mill was
not for Tulsa.
Judge Poe but confirms that re-
port
"sapulpa does not need a prize
fight,
Nor does 1t need brace Of prize
fighters for its we'll being
1T has had, in a colloquisllsm,
an elegant sufficiency' Of the entire
works.
Last winter was hard one In
sapulpa ana we had more prize
fights than the rest Of ths United
States, The prize fighters flourished
as did gamblings and bootlegging
Let's some of US who subsst on
The results OF honest effort get pros
porous and allow the law violators
to go where they will 81 long as
they do not infest Sapulpa.
"And, by the way Of being fair, re-
member that ths high sheriff Of
Greek County is riding the steed OF
law enforcement. lie is beholden to
no man who wishes to violate the
law of this state, county or city. John
Berry is square and if someone Of
standing puts up the law and the
enforcement to him. the Evening
Light, although a political adversary,
is going to make some predictions
that the law violators will be worst
ed The same as to the county at
torney.
Put your thinking cap into this
game and help put the everlasting
end tQ this prize fight bunk
