Scripture Quoted

The Old Testament furnishes its
examples of mans acts where an il
licit love is concerned First Judge
Furman quotes from the 30th chapter
of Proverbs to show that even Solo
the mystery There he three things
which are too wonderful for me, yea,
four which ! know no:: the way of an
eagle in the air; the way of serpent
uron rock; the way of ship in the
midst of the sea; and the way of I
man with maid
Quoting from the eleventh chapter
of Second Samuel, from the second
to the twenty fourth verses, Judge
Furman finds that King David was
also an offender in his relations with
Bath Sheba illicit love caused both
Beattie any Richson to go to the elec-
tric chair within the last few months,
and the courts are constantly filled
with murder cases which grow out
of such relations" the report con

THE STORY OF OKLAHOMA ::
COTTON. ::

The truth about the cotton crop IN
Oklahoma is sorry story. The seed
| is planted in the springtime in haste
and indifference; the crop is picked
and malketed in the harvest season
without regard TO its value. Yet cot
ton is becoming, more and more, the
| dependable money crop of Oklahoma
Commercial Industries and manufac.
| turing interests are being established
/ annually here and there throughout
the state upon the success OF cotton
Note the growth of oil mills, COM
presses, banks and commercial estab-
lishments. The seed from the cotton
crop is in itself alone worth a kings
ransom. How little is known or tle
real Value of the seed and its prod
u,ts IN The form of hulls, linters, cot
ton OIL and cotton seed cake. let the
mill people tell us The market value
of the total crop for Oklahoma in 1910
was $47,j7S000. 1t could have been
one third more.
In handling the cotton crop of Ok
lahoma there is a great deal of money
made by those who understand grad
ine, pricing and shipping. No doubt
there is some money lost by others
who do not understand the business
end of the cotton crop; there are
thousands who dc not understand it.
These are the victims of their own
ignorance. While depending on cot
ton as a main source of livelihood for
themselves and families, these farm
ers and ginners are unable to reap
the financial rewards of weeks and
months of severe labor.
How very little of constructive
thought and effort is involved annual
" in the cotton crop of the average
Oklahoma county. Who plans to get
the most out of the cotton crop AZ
grown and sold? Is there a "commu-
nitv enterprise" or does the devil
take the hindmost? Who is killing the
goose that lays the golden egg? Who
really owns the bale of cotton as il
drops from the press? Whence come
the rumors of wars between the grow
er on the farm and the ginner or
commercial interest in town that mar
ket the product? Is the cotton a one
man product or community product?
Whose children toll in the heat o.
summer for the production of seed
and staple? Whence comes the money
supplied for the purchase of provi-
sions and clothing with which these
they labor in the fields or attend
school? These questions should be
asked of every business man in the /
south. The time will come when the
people of Oklahoma will realize clear /
ly that her cotton crop is commu-
nifty produce, and town and country 1
will rise up, join hands, and pledge !
each other Loyalty and intelligently |
to cooperate in growing and market. |
ing the crop, thereby increasing It's
total value while decreasing the cost
of production: thus widening the
margin of profit for each state, coun
ty and community.

Bail Refused.

Harkins has been given a pre'imi-
nary hearing and is now awaiting trial
on charge of murder. After review
ing the evidence taken at the hearing
the court holds that this evidence
raises a great presumption that Elsie
Adams and Arvie Hurst We're foully
murdered. Petitioner was the last
pc son seen with Elsie Adams and had
taken her home that night. 1t was
proven by hs own statement that he
was at the house whore the fire oc-
cured about one hour before the fire
was discovered Petitioner admits
mitted to having had trouble with one
of her brothers about the girl and said
Bill started to cause trouble and if
he had not, the girl would have been
We'll tOday. There is nothing in the
record that indicates that any other
person than petitioner was the father
Of her unborn child.
Upon this the coIrt holds that If
it appears from the testimony in 4
capital case that the proof is eviden,
that the petitioner is guilty, bail will
be refused: and even if there be reas-
enable doubt as 20 the guilt of the ac-
cused, yet if upon examination OF the
entire record the presumption is great
that the accused is guilty of a capital
offense bail should be refused.
Taking up the link and chain theory
with reference to circumstantial evil
dence, Judge Furman says it is un-
scientific in principle and not in har-
mcny with justice. This court there
fore adopts the strand and cable sys-
tenn as being more in keeping with
reason and the administration of jus
tice'
