TOO MANY PROHIBITION
LAWS SAYS MINISTER

Washington, D. c., Dec. 14-Declar-
ing there were too many state statutes
for the control of the liquor traffic,
and that unless the law was backed
up by a strong public opinion, it was
useless, Ernest H. Cherrington Of
Ohio, editor of Presbyterian period
ical, last night urged the delegates
to the fourteenth national convention
of the Anti-Galoon league to give more
time to arousing public opinion against
the liquor traffic and less to lobbying
for. the enactment of laws that never
were enforced and soon became a
dead-letter.
Mr.. Cherrington said the congress
had been making warfare some time
for statewide prohibition, and done
the cause of temperance harm, and
cited Alabama as an illustration.
"The Anti-Saloon league was oppos-
ed to a statewide prohibition law in
Alabama" he said, but the question
was forced upon the organization by
extremists. 1t is clear to everyone
now that the results have done our
cause harm. The community was not
ready for that measure, and until you
have public opinion with you, it is a
waste of time to force any law on the
people"
At the afternoon secession Senator
Lee of Tennessee said he favored ma
tional legislation to amend the inter
state commerce law so as to prohibit
the shipping of liquor into prohibition
territory.

OKLAHOMA FOR WILSON
ACCORDING TO GORE

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 14.-That
Speaker Champ Clark's unfortunate ut
terances in regard to the annexation
of Canada have somewhat impaired
his chances as democratic presiden-
tial possibility, is indicated in a poll
of the democratic editors of Oklahoma
now being made by Senator Gore. A
marked change in sentiment in favor
of Governor Wilson, of New Jersey,
over the poll of the POS democratic
newspapers of the state taken by the
Times-Democrat about a month ago in
which fully 85 per cent of the editors
favored Speaker Clark, is now apparent
Out of Sc replies received by Senator
Gore, up to date, fully two-thirds Of
the democratic editors now favor the
candidacy of Woodrow Wilson. while
but month ago they were almost a
unit for Clark.
Through sentimental reasons, large
ly because OF the neighborliness of the
two states, Oklahoma democrats have
wanted to be for Speaker Clark and
the distinguished Missourian would uri-
doubtedly have no trouble in getting
the new state delegation to the ma
tional convention next year, if any as
surances could be given that the
speaker would be factor in the presi-
Dental race. The feeling is growing
in Oklahoma that Speaker Clark has
largely been eliminated as a presiden-
tial possibility, especially as his home
state is now pledged to former Cover
nor Folk, who will probably remain in
the running until the last gun is fired
That Wilson is gaining strength in
Oklahoma daily, especially among the
newspapers that mould public opinion,
is undoubtedly true, if the replies being
received by Senator Gore can be taken
as an indication as to which way the
political winds are blowing. 1t still
looks like anybodys race in Oklahoma

science. Twelve lecturers from the A..
& NJ. college and the six district agri-
cultural schools gave the Instruction
and made practical demonstrations.
The attendance increased steadily as
the school moved from county to coun-
ty, until more than two thousand peo-
pie attended during each week Of work
at Alya and Anadarko.
1t will be noted that the schools are
to be located on a contest plan, which
leaves the matter largely dependent on
the interest the farmers and the peo-
pie living in the small towns feel in
the advancement Of their agricultural
welfare. It has been found thus far
that business men are often very wide
awake to the opportunity offered for
Improvements in farm methods and
the certain increase in profits result
ing from a study of better farm man
agement. The A. & NJ. college authori.
ties are now wondering whether or not
there will be ten of these schools dur
ing the coming season. and where
these schools will ma camp.

CLEAN SWEEP IN
ARIZONA ELECTION.
Arizona Repudiates President Tsft's
oictation Claims Democratic
State Chairman 5irdno.

Phoenix, Ariz.. Dec. 1.-THE demo
Gratis of Arizona VIII place two mem
bers in the United States senate and
one member in the house of represen-
tatives, governor in the state capitol
at Phoenix, and unless present indi-
cations are materially changed, will
make clean sweep of the state ticket
as a result of the first state election.
The legislature from present indica-
tons, will be more than three-fourths
democratic, insuring the election of
Henry A. Ashurst, of Prescott, and
Mark A. Smith. of Tucson, to the
United States senate.
There is but one chance that clean
sweep will not be the democratic por-
tion of this election, and that is Cleve-
land, republican, is running strongly,
and may defeat Osborne, of Phoenix,
for this place.
Democratic State Chairman J. B.
Birdno issued statement last night
claiming the election of the democratic
candidates by maiorities ranging from
1900 to 1000. He also claimed every
county in the state, except two, would
return democratic majofitles. Apache
and Pima are conceded to the republi-
cans by small majorities
"The people of Arizona simply re-
fused to indorse Taft's dictation as
to what kind of legislation Arizona
should have" Mr.. Birdno said. "and
while they voted to eliminate the re
call from the constitution, this they
were obliged to do to gain statehood.

ed back in the constitution as soon as
possible.

Tomorrow is Fire Prevention Day.
Tomorrow will be observed through

No organized movement along this
line has been started in Vinita The
state superintendent of schools has,
however, requested that the day be
observed in all of the public schools
of the state with proper fire drills and
other exercises. The enormous waste
resulting from fire loss each year in
Oklahoma has caused the governor and
state fire marshal to unite in an eff
fort to remove the cause of so many
fires. and as result the governor is

Oklahoma City, Dec. l4.-Words
merely uttered by a person on death
bed, proposing to transfer property, is
not in itself valid, without an actual
passing of the property. was the hold
ing of the supreme court commission,
division S, in an opinion by Commis-
sioner Ames, presiding. The case was
that of the Apache State Bank against
Florence Daniels Administrative of the
estate Of her husband James Daniels,
deceased, appealed from Rogers coun-
ty, which the court reversed and re-
manded. In the absence of will the
wife and Daniels father were the legal
heirs. and the suit was brought to
force the listing of bank stock held by
the deceased. thereby to prove that
part of the same would be the property
of the father.
The case turned upon the action of
Daniels on his death bed attempting to
bequeath certain securities to his wife
for her exclusive enjoyment. He called
his wife to the bedside and stated that
he gave to her all his bank stock, all
his property and diamonds, held in a
strong box then being in an adjoining
ROOM Daniels handed her key to the
box as he said the words, the wife
then possessed the only other key in
existence. Nothing else regarding this
particular property was done by Dan
ielsfi and the court in reversing the
court below nolds that the transaction
as outlined did not constitute a valid
Idonatio causa mortis, for the reason
there was not the actual passing OF
the property sought to be so trans
|ferred.
The court outlines the Oklahoma law
regarding wills, etc, and calls atten-
tion to the absence of statute govern
ing a gift causa mortis, therefore, the
court says, it must search common
law. In Roman law, from whence
comes the common law, the court says
five witnesses were required in addi-
ton to actual delivery of the property,
At common law no specified number
of witnesses is required, but the gift
must be established by clear and con
vincing evidence, and must be accom-
panied by actual delivery of the sub
ject matter the court says: Mere
words, of course. cannot constitute a
gift either inter vivos, or causa mortis
because that would conflict with the
fundamental notion of consideration
as the basis of contract.
Mere words unaccompanied by de
livery could only be promise, and the
gift would not be complete, whereas
the court says, to be valid, it must be
entirely executed. for the reason, il

TENTED SCHOOLS
FOR AGRICULTURE

During last summer. a number of
professors employed at the A. & M.
college devoted five weeks to holding
schools in different eoun-
ties of Oklahoma. These men and
women went out to the people and
worked with the same sincerity, as
teachers in tents, as they had shown
in the classroom and laboratories of
the college. The people We're greatly
pleased and benefited. The work will
be continued next season.
There will be at least five encamp-
ment schools of agriculture held in
different portions of Oklahoma during
the summer of 1912 by the A. e M. col
