lhave SO repeatedly stated that favor
the enforcement Of every law upon the
statute books, that It would seem
needless for me to repeat here that
declaration. But our people have so
consistently fought over the prohibi'
tion laws OF the state that ] feel that
special reference to that law is de
sired by the public. While I am gov
ernor. every power given into my
hands by the legislature and the peo-
pie OF the state. will be exhausted in
an endeavor to give to the people an
honest and effective enforcement OF
that law. ! am not a franatic on the
question of prohibition, and no fanati-
cism will be exhibited by me in at
tempting to enforce that law; but so
long as it remains one of the laws of
this state, in the discharge of my sworn
dutie5 | will attempt faithfully to en-
force it, In this endeayor | am en-
titled to the active help and support
of every citizen who believes in law
enforcement. Twice the people have
decided in favor of that law, and it is
certainly entitled to as much con-
on the question of enforce
ment as any other law in this state.
To those who purposely violate this
law, want to give this warning:
You must pay the penalty which the
law imposes. Don't violate the law,
harboring the hope that you will find
an escape through the demium of
pardon, from the penalty you have
voluntarily and wilfully incurred. This
much the governor can do to aid in
the enforcement of the law-he can
make certain the punishment after
conviction by Withholding a pardon.
If you violate this law, you had better
defeat the case against you in the
court, for you will stand little chance
to defeat justice after conviction by
a pardon at my hands.
"And now, my fellow citizens, let us
set ourselves to the work to be per-
building of an ideal COM
monwealth! commonwealth of COM
homes and contented people;
where every man shall reap and enjoy
the fruits of his toll; where capital
shall find safe and profitable invest
ment without depressing the poor;
where virtue shall be exalted and vice
abased; where there shall be a real
izstion of the hope of ages and the
dream of the past, "a government of
the people for the people and by the
people," This cannot be accomplished
in year, nor four years, but we can
start the forces moving that will tend
to that end. In this field there is need
for all, and the man who withholds
his help is not a friend to Oklahoma

firm reliance upon Him who has been

~Paid in Full"

Eugene Walters great play of mod
Tern New York, paid in FULL" holds
an extraordinary place in dramatic
criticism. 1t stands alone as the only
play that has been universally praised
by dramatic critics in every city where
it has been seen. This fact establishes
its exceptional power and worth, and
is apart from the evidence furnished
by the 100000 persons who have seen
it, far more than ever have witnessed
any other play in a like time. Such
unvarying tribute from dramatic critics
as has been given to paid in Full' is
unprecedented.
Many plays have been generally COM
mended, though against all of these a
critics pen now and then has dissent
ed from popular opinion. Not so with
paid in Full" In New York, Chicago,
Boston, Philadelphia, and all leading
cities Of this country, and equally in
the smaller ones, wherever Paid in
Full" has been played, it has swept
all dramatic writer's to highest enthus-
iasm. Everyone has written it down
as the greatest play of the age. A
striking feature of this praise, which
emphasizes the plays tremendous ap-
peal and its genuine quality, is that
it has been bestowed with correspond
ing warmth on all five of the companies
appearing III Paid in Full" This is
convincing proof that it is truly great
play Allen Dale, the world-famed
critic of the New York American, said,
"The Photographic power displayed in
the Characterization of the men and
women in Paid in Full is the most
commanding thing / have ever seen
1t is a revelation, and Eugene Walter,
the author, and the United Play COM
pany, the producers, are to be con-
graduated for giving to the American
stage SO valuable a property"
This famous play will be at the Aud
itorium January %, when the United
Play company will present 1t with a
notable New York cast. The engage
ment is the most attractive theatrical
announcement of the season.

Lee Crucc.

Lee Cruce. governor of Oklahoma.
was born in Marion. KY, July 8. 1868.
The death OF his father threw him upon
his own resources at an early age and
1t was only by hard work that he was
able to obtain an education. He studied
law during one year at Vanderbilt Uni
versity and In 1888 began the practice
of his chosen profession. Three years
later he removed to oklahoma. locating
at Ardmore. In 1901 he abandoned the
legal profession to engage in the bank
ing business. About the same time he
began to take an active interest in po-
litical affairs and in 1910 he was nomi-
mated and elected governor of Okla
homa on the Democratic ticket. In
1898 Governor Cruce was married tc
Miss Chickie 10 Flore. young Indian
