The beautiful monastery that was
built by the Prince-Bishop Bernward
o. Hildesheim, Germany, in 1901 for
the Benedictine friars in connection
with St. Michael's church, was con
yerted into n hospital for the insane
in 1855, and occupying the largest
and most attractive suite of rooms is
an American patient, Mai. Henry X
Rathbone, formerly of the United
States army.
Maj. Henry X. Rathbone, a boy OF
%. accompanied his mother and step
father to Washington in 1861, when
the latter went to take his seat in the
senate. The other member OF the
family was Miss Clara Harris, daugh.
ter of the senator by his first mar
rage. President Lincoln gave Henry
Rathbone commission in the army
and he was under detail at the time
of the surrender of Richmond in
April 1865. At that time he was en-
gagged to Miss Harris, the daughter
o. his stepfather.
When President and Mrs Lincoln
accepted an invitation to see Laura
Keene at Ford's Theater the night OF
April Il, 1865, General and Mrs
Grant were to accompany them, but
General Grant was called out of the
city. Mrs. Lincoln then invited Miss
Harris and Major Rathbone, and the
presidents carriage called for then

When John Wilkes Booth appeared
with his revolver, Major Rathbone
sprang at him, but was too late to pre-

COMMENTS By GOVERNORS ON CRUCES
MESSAGE To THE STATE LEGISLATURE.

nently mentioned as democratic
uominee for president in 1912 and
universally considered one OF the
strongest men in the democratic par
ty, was especially commendatory in
his letter to Governor Cruce. The
Ohio executive after complimentng
the Oklahoma governor, said: 1T is
a proper prerogative and duty that
the governor of any state owes to his
constituents and to the state as a
whole to demand honest and neces'
sary legislation at the hands of the
legislature and to recommend to that
body of law makers, the passage or
any bills which he considers will re-
bound to the benefit of the state. If
| remember correctly, 1 made a spe-
enc recommendation in regard to a
bill pending before the last Ohio leg
islature. | am very sorry that it will
be impossible for me to accept the
kind invitation of your honorable
law makers to deliver an address be-
fore them as the Ohio legislature is
now in session and l deem it proper
and right that l remain at home to
advice with them on any legislative
matters"
Governor Deneen of Illinois said: Il
think it is just and proper that the
governor should by special message,
call the attention of the legislature
to any needed legislation"
Governor Wilson of Kentucky said:
Il think it proper and right that the
chief executive of state should az
wise with the law makers in regard
to all legislation"
Governor Donaghey of Arkansas as
cumed a very decisive stand au this
question in his letter to Governor
Cruce. He said: "The chief execu-
tive of a state, like the members of
the legislature, is working for the
better interests of the state. He IS
considered as the man wro will give
all legislative matters more attention
than any other man in the state.
Therefore, it is just and proper that
he advise with and confer with the
law makers in the passage or propos'
al of all measures which effect the
state. I do not see any other course
for a governor but to state his opin-
ions on legislative matters pending
before the state legislature"
Governor Neel of Mississippi also
is of the opinion that the chief execu'
tive of a state should make known
his sentiment on all legislative mat
ters.
Governor Shafer of Colorado con
ours with the other governors in this
matter and says that he shall at all
times advise with the members OF
his state legislature. either personally
or through a message read before that
body.

ried home, where he was i'll several
weeks.
The shock unsettled Rathbone's
nerves. He resigned from the army,
married Miss Harris, the daughter OF
his stepfather, and having abundant
means they spent their summers in
European travel and their winters in
Washington.
Major Rathbone never recovered
and his nervous condition gave his
relatives and friends great anxiety,
but his manner with his wife and
children was so affectionate, his dis
position so gentle, that they felt that
he was better with them than he
would be in the custody of strangers.
They spent the summer and fall OF
1888 at Hanover. Toward the end of
the year Major Rathbones disposition
changed; he became irritable and de-
yeloped hallucinations. Christmas
Eve he drew a revolver and killed his
wife.
Rathbone was tried for murder in
the Hanover courts and there being
no question of his insanity, was sent
enced to the hospital of St. Michaels
for life. For twenty-six years he has
been an inmate of that institution,
living in luxury, in one of the most
romantic and picturesque medieval
structures in Europe.
Major Rathbone has been allowed
many liberties which ordinary patti
ents do not enjoy. Having a comfort
able income, he has been able to live
as if he were in hotel. He has his
own dining room, his own servants,

Senator Gore with reference to
this matter, said: Had / followed my
fathers advice and entered blind
school, | should probably be making
brooms for living instead of making
laws in the United States senate for
my fellowmen. The proper educational
advantages given the blind child, be
he either a man or woman, will fit
him for any educational vocation in
life, and / would suggest that a de-
partment for the education of the
blind children of Oklahoma be estab-
lished in the most central portion OF
the state. I would favor, as does
Governor Cruce, the establishment of
this department at the state univer-
sity at Norman. This would afford
unfortunate blind children equal op-
portunities with the more fortunate
seeing ones"
Governor Cruce has said that he
would veto all bills locating the blind
school unless it was centrally located
and that he favors the establishment
of such a school in connection with
a state school where seeing pupils
are instructed.
Pardons.
Relative to his stand on the pardon
ing of persons convicted of violating
the liquor laws, Governor Cruce feels
that he might have been misquoted
in some instances. He said: Il have
never said l would not pardon a man
who violates the liquor law. Some
times an innocent man is convicted
by perjured testimony. This fact may
not be known until after his convic-
tion. An innocent prisoner, wrong
fully convicted, will be pardoned by
me whether he be a violator of the
liquor law or any other law. I believe
that the innocence or guilt of pris-
oner can be determined before the
matters of his pardon is ever brought
to the attention of the governor.
There are three instances during the
course of his trial when his innocence
or guilt can be ascertained. The
prosecuting attorney has a chance to
dismiss the case if he knows or sus-
poets that the prisoner is innocent of
the charge made. The Judge who
sits in trial of the case has an oppor-
tunity to find out the guilt or inno-
cence of the one charged. The jury
has the same opportunity to know
as to his guilt or innocence. 1t seems
to me that judge who finds that
wrongful conviction has been made
should set aside the conviction and
free the prisoner After the county
attorney, Judge and jury have found
a prisoner guilty of crime, it is not
fair to ask the governor to set aside
the penalty imposed, and l shall not
exercise my right of executive clem-
ency in any case unless an injustice
has been done. l do not take this
position on the liquor question alone,
but in all cases wherein the law has
been violated. It is not fair to put
the question of whether prisoner
deserves his freedom up to the gov
ernor, after twelve men, Judge and
prosecuting attorney have found
him guilty"
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1911-02-12

through a message expressed my
wishes on any measure pending be-
fore the Indiana Legislature, but l
can see no impropriety in so doing.
Most governors confer with members
of the legislature and whether it is
done through personal interviews or
by means of message, it is his duty
10 take these matters up with the
members of the legislature"
Senatorial Courtesy.
with reference to the governors
recent message to the legislature, a
prominent ex-senator who served in
the first legislative body has express
ed 1t as his opinion that Governor
Cruce did not overlook the courtesy
due the senate or the house in his
message. He said: Senatorial cour-
tesies as defined by some of Oklaho-
mas senators in regard to Governor
Cruces failure to recognize the same,
which they think is their due, seems
to assume a ridiculous aspect when
you consider that the unit in the state
government which they represent as
compared to the unit the governor
represents. A majority of our sena-
tors represent a political constituen
cy of approximately three thousand
votes, while the governor of the state
represents a political constituency of
about 10000 or forty times as many
voters and taxpayers as any one SEN
ator or as many voters and taxpayers
as do all the senators. The talk about
the senatorial courtesy as compared
with gubernatorial courtesy is ridicu-
lous.
State Blind School.
Governor Cruces recommendation
to the state legislature is that the
state school for blind children should
be centrally located. The governor
and Senator Gore both of whom are
interested in the education of the
blind, have had several conferences
relatives to the location of the pro.
posed state blind institute. Cover
nor Cruce has expressed himself as
concurring with the views held by
the blind senator, that the school for
the blind be centrally located and be
established as department in one
OF the best endowed state schools.
Relative to this question, Governor
Cruce said: Some of the best authori-
ties on the education of the blind, rec
ommend the establishment of a de-
partment for those so afflicted in
state schools to attend also by those
who are gifted with sight. They rec
ommend that the blind be taught by
raised letters and by reading to them.
The mingling of the blind children
with the others of the school, who
are possessed with sight will better
fit and equip them with the necessary
education to make their way through
life. The custom with most state
blind schools has been to teach the,
sightless broom making or other like
employment. When he leaves these
institutions he is like a man out OF
prison lost to the habit of every day
life or man and woman kind and can
only re-enter the tiresome grind which
his professional education fits him
for"

TEXAS BOOM FOR
WOODROW WILSON
New Jersey Governor to Be
Doomed as Presidential
Candidate.

San Antonio. Texas, Aug 5-The
Texas boom for Woodrow Wilson for
president will be launched at Austin
Monday A number OF the leading pei
iticians of Texas will meet there to dis
cuss ways and means of securing the
Texas delegates to the national Demo-
cratic convention for him. The meet
ing has been called by Thomas B.
Love. former speaker OF the house and
commissioner of banking and insurance
during the administration Of Gov.
Thomas NJ Campbell He has long
been active in Texas politics and has al
ways been a strong supporter Of Will
liam Jennings Bryan. The fact that he
is actively interested in promoting the
interests of Wilson is taken to Indf-
cate that the influence Of x-Gov.
Campbell also will be thrown in that
direction. as the two men generally
work along the same lines in national
and state politics.
Wilson Favorite.
In Texas, so far as can be determined
from the expressions of the Texas daily
and weekly press, sentiment seems to
favor the selection of Wilson as the
Democratic standard bearer. Harmon
has some supporters, but the Wilson
sentiment seems to be predominant
among the politicians who have hereto
fore controlled the national delegation
The friends of Bryan. how ever, are
numerous in Texas, especially In the
agricultural districts, and in case he
makes fight for the endorsement OF
Texas he will be a powerful factor to
contend with. 1t is probable that there
is no state in the union where his fol-
lowers are more loyal. Bryan owns a
Texas home and spends portion Of
each winter here. He usually makes
several speeches in the state during
the winter This keeps him in close
touch with the Texas voters.
Bailey VS.. Bryan.
Opposing any endorsement of Bryan
will be all the Bailey following in this
state. Bryan and Bailey are bitterly
at outs, and anything that may tend to
increase the prestige of Bryan will be
fought by all the adherents of Bailey.
The primaries to select the delegates
will not be held until July of mex,
year The fact that the Wilson ele-
ment is organizing this early indicates
that it expects to make a vigorous fight
in Texas. The meeting has been called
during the progress Of the special SEES
sion of the legislature in an effort to
enlist the support Of as large an ele-
ment of that body as possible.
