The Florida Times Union says
that if Roosevelt had been shot IN
the South, he could not have saved
his assailant from instant justice. !"
While this may have been spoken
under the idea of putting feather
in the SoUth's cap, it is TO be
hoped it was said unthinkingly of
the evils of instant justice. !"
The general impression of the
South as lawless land, one prone
to anticipate the justice of the
courts by deeds of instaut'
violence, is a material detriment
and handicap. There is enough.
and more, Of fact in the impression
without drawing upon imaginary
instances. In this case the resort
to rnstant justice'' would have
defeated a large measure Of the
real article. This is clearly and
impressively shown by the follow
ing rem0nstranoe from the Spring
field Republican, against the
suggestion Of the mob's dealing
with the ceime:
1t may be remarked that,mob law
would have lett unanswered some
important questihnS and woul0
have made impossible the prompt
refutation Of false charges. 1t
might never have been possible
to demonstrate that Schrank was
not a Socialist; it would almost
certainly have been impossible to
show conclusiyely that the deed
was simply The result of an unbal-
anced mind. The Iynchlng of
Schrank would not only have been
a crime in itself; it would have
been a blow at criminology, which
needs to know as much as possible
about the small but dangerous
class of lunatics who attack public
men. .-Vicksburg Herald.

WILL INVESTIGATE
LON FRAME
Committee to Investigate Three of
Governor Cruces Appointments.

Oklahoma City Dec. 1.-THE public

BREWERS
ARE GETTING MIXED
There is Lot of Difference Between
o. n. p, of Muskogee, And o. A.,
OF Helena.

AIuskogee, Okla, Dec. 1S.-The o..
A. Brewer against whom charges were
preferred by Dorothy Brylee is resi-
ident of Helena, Alfalfa county and
is in no way connected with O. Fl. p.
Brewer Of Muskogee county. The
Helena man for several years has been
connected with the state board of ag-
riculture while the AIuskogee man has
never in any manner been identified
with that body. In recent statement
given out by Miss Brylee she is quoted
as saying that she would oppose the
appointment of Mr.. Brewer to the
position of U. S. marshal for the East
ern district of Oklahoma. Miss Brylee
if she has been quoted correctly has
evidently concluded that it was her
alleged assailant who was being men,
toned for the federal place, but in
this she is mistaken. 1t is o. Fl. p.
Brewer, the Muskogee educator and
one of the brightest and cleanest men
in eastern Oklahoma who is being
mentioned as a successor to S. G.
Victor. If the Alfalfa county man is
candidate for the place he can be
considered out of the running.

"FreckIes' Tonight.

Among the important bookings
which Manager Dan Myers has Sc
cured for hte Grand theatre will be
that of "Freckles," Gene Stratton.
Porter's wonderful story of The Linn
berlost" country of Indiana The en-
gagement is for this evening only
The fact that there have been more
readers of this story than any other
book published in decade-a fair es-
innate is in the millions-makes the
dramatization of the utmost import
ance to the dramatic world. "Freckles'
as a drama is stronger than "Freckles" )"
as a story. The characters live, love
and have advanture-one can see and
hear, there is nothing left to the inn
agination DR.. L. Martin, New York
producing manager, has made the pro
duction of "Freckles" one that will
long be remembered. 1t is drama
tized by Neil Twomey.
The music for the play and the
songs rendered by Freckles are by the
Viennese Composer, Anatol Friedland,
and are a novelty from a musical point
of view. The Woodland Fantasy
played during the piece is essentially
masterpiece.

Governor Donaghey Protests Against
System by Giving Many Pris-
oners Their Freedom

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. l6-Gover-
nor George w. Doneghey today signed
pardons for $50 convicts who will be
released tomorrow as a protest again
the convict lease system employed in
Arkansas and other States
Gov. Doneghey intimated he might
take such action in speech before
the recent conference Of Governors in
Richmond, Va.
The convicts who will be freed are
serving sentances of from one to fif-
teen years in length. None of the
desperate conyicts in the penitentiary
will be released.
Three State convicts camps will be
abolished as a result of the Governors
action but several camps will be con-
tinued in operation where convicts
are engaged in the building of good
roads

FURMAN WOULD
PUNISH THIEVES
Prison YaWns for those Who Refuse
to Respect Property Rights Of
Others, Jurist Says.

Oklahoma City, Dec, IA warn
ing is given thieves in an opinion by
Presiding Judge Furman in the Grim
inal court of appeals, affirming the
conviction of Alex Bates in Blame
county given three years imprison-
ment when convicted on a charge Of
stealing COW.
People of Oklahoma have suffered
SO much from the depredations of
thieves" says the syllabus, that it is
high time for the courts to let the
criminals of this class know that they
must Gather respect the property
rights of others or leave the state, or
that they will be sent to the penitent-
larry"
The sentence of b, f. Noah, indict-
ed jointly with Bates, but tried sep
arately, also was affirmed Noah was
given one year and six months in the
penitentiary
The action of council in calling at
tention to the refusal of the defendant
to offer himself as a witness is ground
for new trial and the action of the
court is not granting another trial
upon such a showing is reversible
error, according to an opinion of
Judge Doyle in reversing and remand
ing the case of Dave Wineberger from
Logan county, convicted of liquor
violation. A new trial is ordered by
the appeal court
The state appealed from the action
of the trial court in Harper county
in directing on points of legal proceed
.ure, verdict of not guilty against
Ira Clark charged with petit larceny,
The criminal court of appeals in an
opinion by Judge Armstrong holds
the lower court erred, but states the
defendant cannot again be placed on
trial having been acquitted of the
Offence.
Other Opinions of the court were:
By Judge Doyle Luther Morgan,
Huhges county, larceny of live stock,
affirmed.
By Judge Furman II. Steil Blame
county, violation of prohibitnry law,
affirmed,
Julius Stumpf, Oklahoma City, liquor
and Fred Mittnacht, Canadian county,

FOR SE|CE
At OLD JAY
5eeves Are Slaughtered And Brought
Within the "old jay Trenches.

Grove, Okla, Dec. 17.-Assured by
Adjutant General Canton that they
are acting in the right, Old Jay forces,
holding the county court house, pre-
pared today to resist long siege by
Sheriff Thomason's posse. The work
Of building trenches and building
breastworks begun yesterday and con-
tinued with even greater vigor today
Beeves were slaughtered and brought
visions to last them for two weeks.A
within the lines" 1t is believed the
Old Jay forces now have enough pro-
visions to last them for two weeks
Inactivity on the part of Sheriff
Thomasons men today gave rise to
the report that he had abandoned the
battle but the preparations made by
Old Jay forces indicate that they, at
least, expect another attack
Adjutant General Canton's visit to
Jay left the situation changed but
little. If anything he encouraged the
rioters and gave the officers little
hope of success. After the firing of
Sunday night he visited both camps,
reprimanding Sheriff Thomason for
permitting the battle" and for not
having better control of his men. Can
toms meeting with Sam Boney, the
Cherokee Indian, who is leading the
rioters, was dramatic. When Canton
approached Boney was standing with
his right hand grasping his rife while
over his right shoulder was his
blanket. He quickly shifted his rifle
to his left hand and extended his right
to the adjutant general. Sam" said
General Canton as he seized it, Il am
glad to meet you; I have heard much
about you and they tell me you are
a bad Indian
NO" said Boney, Il am not a very
bad Indian" and they parted
Before leaving for Oklahoma City,
Canton addressed the rioters telling
them they were right, in protecting
themselves against the Creekmore
contingent.
