BY THE RIGHT or WAY
Chuzzlewit

In an eastern state there is i'm
prisoned man who, by his own
words, confessed to taking another's
life. Within a short time his life
will be snuffed Gut like candle to
pay the forfeit of his crime, but the
one that throws the switch or places
the moose will then also be guilty of
breaking one of the most sacred
commandments: Thou shalt O t
KILL
1t was in this old New England
state that the Pilgrims landed at
Plymouth, virgin forest then; leav-
ing their homes across the mighty
ocean to rest in peace in this great
land OF opportunities; a land to which
they came with the object of gaining
the freedom in which they could
worship and follow their own ideas
of Religion. For centuries upon
centuries individuals and powers
have thought little of the snufing
out of human life to pay the debt:
: life for life" and to the present
day, with its enlightened progress
and far reaching strides towards
progressiveness IN manufacturing.
education, sanitary laws and great
feats of bridge engineering, railroad
ing, architecture, ETC.. it has still fol-
lowed the old Mosaic law, an eye
fol. an eye and tooth for tooth"
We should be proud of our coun-
try's progress in some things but
what of its black blood stained re-
cords of the lives it has taken to sat
isfy a small majority of narrow
minded ignorant individuals who are
in this case called Public Opin-
ion? This old New England state
with its primness and set puritanic
ideas, which, when truth be known,
are not puritanic ideas in this case,
has still followed the old laws and
customs of ancient times and other
states in this great nation are still
following in the same footsteps.
Now for few brief moments turn
your minds eye down into the great
Southwest until it rests upon the
progressive State of Oklahoma. A
state which has only recently. you
might say, contributed another white
star to the great flag of our country,
and let me quote you just few in
cidents which have occurred this
month in that state. and Judge for
yourself whether or not Oklahoma
has made more actual progress from
a humanitarian point of view than
one Of the original thirteen colonies.
The following is taken from the
st. Louis Republic:
My reasons said Gov. Cruce of
Oklahoma. for holding to this posi-
ton are: First, that capital punish
ment inflicted through the agency of
human government is not in keeping
with the demands of modern enlight-
ened civilization; and, second, that
the infiiction of the death penalty
does not deter others from commits
sion of like crime he said.
This is an age of enlightended
progress, old things are passing away
and new ideas and a new order of
things are coming into being. These
changes pretend great good for the
human race.

San Francisco, May 24,-Judge Gil
bert, Of the United States court of ap-
peals here today confirmed the opin-
ion of Judge Bean of the United
States district court of Oregon can
ceiling title to 81 quarter sections of
timber land in Linn and Lane coun-
ties, held by the Linn and Lane Tim
Der company. This was one of the
most noted Oregon land fraud cases.
This company was organized by c. A,
Smith and members of his family in
1906, following the governments ac-
tivity in prosecuting land fraud cases.
The land is valued at approximately
$2500O0 and comprises nearly 5000
acres.
The land was taken up originally
by private individuals whose expenses
were paid They afterward turned
over patents they received to agents
of Smith, it is alleged. The deeds to
the land were afterward turned over
to the Linn and Lane company, It is
charged.
Upon the fact that the Linn and
Lane Timber company controlled by
Smith had been made a party to the
original suit and was the owner Of
the land legally the defense based It's
arguments.
In deciding the suit, Judge Bean
held that the company held legal
title to the land 1t had been organ
lied by Smith to aid in fraudulently
holding the land and that as Smith
owned the company, the company
was in reality Smith In the decision
upholding Judge Beams contention
that in prosecuting Smith, the gov
ernment was also prosecuting the
company, Judge Gilbert quoted many
autorities to maintain his point that
corporations organized to commit or
perpetuate fraud must be treated as
an association of men rather than as
a corporate entity

ness streets of this city as shortly be-
fCre noon today when the American

cheers were given for the stars and
stripes Many in the crowd were
wearing silk flags on the lapels Of
their coats Rudolph Schultz, pro-
prietor of the place, has for the past
two days been presenting silk flags
to his customers and the Englishman
had no sooner walked to the bar,

upon the customers coat

would not wear the flag, as he was
not an American citizen. He said
that he had been in this country 20
years, but had never been naturalized
and that the American flag was only
second best to him. He was jeered
by the crowd. who refused to drink
at the same bar with him, and some
one finally demanded that the Eng
lshman drink a toast to the stars and
stripes. To this he is alleged to have
replied: "To hell with the American
flag"
