ANOTHER VICTORY
FOR GOV. CRUCE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
FINALLY PASS STATE BOARD
OF EDUCATION BILL.

Governor Cruce won another big
victory Tuesday when the house of
representatives passed finally the
state board of education bill. The bill
as it passed the senate, was entirely
rewritten in the house by senators
and representatives introducing such
bills, and conforms exactly to Cover
nor Cruces original suggestions.
The authors of the bill are Senators
Wynne, Coffey and Williams and Rep
resentatives Barrett, Akin, Logan,
Speaker Durant, Dawson, Clark (of
Atoka) and Williams OF Comanche.
A state board OF education is Gre
ated, to be composed of the state SUI
perintendent of instruction, who shall
be president of the board, and six
members to be appointed by the gov
ernor.
A secretary for the board at $4,000
per year is provided. The emolu-
ments of the appointive members of
the board is Sc per day and necessary
expenses.
Wright, of Oklahoma, won an
amendment to make tine secretary of
the board appointve by the board,
instead of by the state superintendent
alone
Anthony and Akin made an effort
to get an educational experience quail
ifcation for the board members, but
failed.
AS nearly as possible under the con-
stitution, this state board of education
will control the educational institu-
tions of the state. The agricultural
group alone is excepted, since the
state board of agriculture is regent
by virtue of constitutional power.
To the state board of education is
given the powers of the state board

NEGRO OFFICIAL
CAUSE OF STORM

Washington, March 1.-l'he appoint

head of President Taft from the
southern members of congress and

ital.
From members of official and So
cial sets, objections were raised at
the first mention of Lewis nlme
The bitterest protest comes, however
from the democrats in the senate
and the house.
1T was bad enouSv tnat the repub-
lican party should stand sponsor 70:
the Sutherland amendment to the di-
rect elections resolution, which was
meant 10 protect the negro. but now
the republican party Is proposing to
elevate the negro to the highest Of
flee ever conferred on that race"
is the argument of the democrats.
1t is all very We'll" said one
of the senators from a southern
state, today for high officials to
tel us that Lewis will not attend
the White House receptions and
that his appointment will not en-
barrass anybody it makes no matter
how reserved he may be there is
bound to be feeling against Lewis"
The official status of an assistant
attorney general corresponds with
that of an assistant secretary of an
executive department Huntington
Wilson of the state department and
VIM. II. Lewis would rank side oy

sistant attorney general gives him
procedent socillN over brigadier
generals, captains of the navy, the
district commissioners, the justices
of the district courts and numerous
other officials.

Ex-Senators Long and Thurston are
denounced as 'McMurray creatures
and lobbyists" which r. c. Adams.
the Indian attorney, is referred to as
the one OF amazing telegraphic ac-
tivity.
In conclusion, Mr. Stephens says:
Il further dissent -;om the views
of the majority in their report in
this; the report denies that there
was corrupt lobby in Washington
seeking the approval OF the McMurray
contracts except H8mon only. The
fact is that Senator Gore did not
use the words corrupt lobby but did
say that a powerful lobby was in
Washington on McMufays behalf
There was, | maintain, a powerful
lobby engaged by McMurray. He ad-
mts having in his employ, two ex-
senators, Long and Thurston, also
Dick Adams, whose telegraphic ac-
tivity in McMurray's behalf was
amazing. ! find that the legal defnl
tion of lobby is to urge the passage
of a bill by persona; influence ad-
dressed to the individual legislature
The duty of these employees, Long
Thurston and Adams would compel
them to lobby through congress, at
that session, the very kind of an
amendment that Mcclure says he re-
ceived from either McMurray or Gov
ernor Johnston, and had Mr.. Tawney
offer it as an amendment to bill
before a conference committee. This
amendment, if it had been incorpor.
ated in the law would have, through
the agency of Mcclure, secured to
McMurray the approval of contracts
that would have been worth to him
vast sum of money, and would
have despoiled the Indians of same.
The majority members of this COM
mittee have, therefore, through the
public press, acquitted Mcclure OF
having any interest in these con-
tracts
Through the agency of Senator
Gore in exposing these contracts in
the senate, as shown by the evidence,
this Mcclure amendment was defeat
ed, thus defeating the McMurray
contracts and causing this investl-
cation to be ordered.

THE CONVICT AND HIS FAMILY.

THE CONVICT AND HIS FAMILY.
An advanced step in legislation
along the lines of enlightened crimi-
nology was taken when the commit
tee on penal institutions Of the Kan
sas house reported fayorably a bill
giving TO the families of convicts the
wages actually earned by the prison
ers. This may not be the ideal so
luton of the problem arising from
the summary withdrawal from a
family of its main support when
the bread winner is locked up in
a prison cell, but it is the best yet
offered. The serious nature of the
problem has long been recognized and
criminoogists have earnestly sought
some equitable way of solving it.
A man is put into the penitentiary
for only one reason, and that Is, he
has violated the law protecting the
rights Of society, through his act
toward the individual wronged There
are corallary considerations involved;
the man is locked up not solely for
punishment, for the reformative fea-
ture OF punishment is becoming more
and more generally recognized. But
so long as a man does not wrong
ha pnunfftr fhrptph tho inliN "a
he will never-unless the court or
jury errs-go to the penitentlary.
Thus far no effective method has
been devised of furnishing only the
man who is primarily guilty. If he
has a family. But the same society
which takes away the support from
the innocent family certainly owes
something to the family thus punished
for no offence of his own. The theory
OF the Kansas bill IetCluizes this
equity of the family
Many worthless and lazy man
is permitted to neglect his family so
long as he does not commit any overt
offense. But so soon as he does he
is locked up, and then his idleness
ends He is compelled to labor, and
labor hard and steadily. 1t is only
just that his family should have the
benefit of this compulsory toll. The
enlightened modern thought along
these lines is advancing even further
than this theory and is compelling
to a greater extent the legal bread
winner to labor for his family be
fore he gets to the penitentary.
Surely it is more in the public inter
est that men should support their
families outside the walls of pris-
on than inside them. why wait until
the bread winner is convict before
giving his wages to the family which
has a claim upon his all the time?
There is nothing more encourag-
ing along these lines than this en-
lightened trend of legislation en-
phasizing the necessity of every
man who takes upon himself the re-
lation of head of a family fulfilling
all the obligations involved in those
relations. Important advances have
been made in this direction in re.
cent years and the Kansas bill
is particularly opportune and sensi-
ble.-kansas City Journal.
