The Labor Field.

THE objection is raised" said the
governor, that convicts would be
brought into competition with free
labor, They were in competition with
free labor before they were convicted
But there are many enterprises where
they would not compete with free
labor and could still pay their own
maintenance He mentioned the man.
ufactre of twine, there is no such
factory in the state and its manufac-
ture at home would save thousands
OF dollars to farmers OF the $75600
for higher education the governor said
hewould cut that used in maintain
ing three of the state normals, both
preparatory schools and five of the dis
trict schools of agriculture; this in
spite of the fact that he was speaking
in town where one of the schools
is located The Panhandle school, he
said should be maintained. One of
the chief causes for high taxes he de-
clared is that people of Oklahoma
have attempted to make public inn
proyements too rapidly
But ii you mean business in this
talg for economy" he said, for
goodness sake quit talking about
something away off yonder and begin
at home. Either quit boosting your
own local expenses or keep still" For
the cause of better government in Ok
lahoma the governor recommended
that more stringent laws against gam
bling aud prize fighting and more
effective prohibition law 5e passed

Lawton, Okla, Oct. 20.--"There are
just twice too many offices in this
state, nearly twice as many institu-
tions of higher learning as Oklahoma
really needs and the people are paying
$275,000 every year for the mainten-
ance of penal Institutions when they
should not spend one cent fer that pur-
pose" said Governor Cruce to the peo-
pie of Lawton Saturday night lie
would abolish all township offices, cen
solidate all county clerkships into one
office with register of deeds thrown

assessor and treasurer; abolish all
superior courts and reditrict the state
so that but twenty district judges
would be needed where there are now
thirty-one.
But | would not stop there" he
said. There are a half dozen state
officers that could be eliminated" The
only one he mentioned was state prin-
ter.
"Pll not mention any more, he said,
for l see my friend Charley Ham
monds getting nervous and l don't
want to embarrass him here at home.
Two hundred and seventy-five thou
sand dollars is spent every year on
penal institutions, $565,O00 on elee-
mosynary, $756,OOO on schools of
higher learning, $960,OOO for state gov

state officers would cut that for state

my position in this matter, your at
tention is respectfully directed to a
number of civil and criminal matters
lin the county court and district court
of this county find that number
of cases have been appealed from the
police court to the county and to the
district courts, and among all the
cases appealed / have found that only
one case has been tried. | find that
two cases have been dismissed in the
county court and that four have been
dismissed in the district court, and
that a motion to strike has been sus-
tanned in three in the district court.
To this Iattribute lack of the proper
preparation of criminal complaints in
the police court, and a vigorous prose-
cution of these causes after they are
appealed Such procedure is held up
to rdicule, and is regarded as a farce
and travesty by the taxpayers of

Dallas, Texas, Oct. l8.-Housed in

members of the Texas university foot
ball team are keen for the whistle
which will let them at the Sooners
Saturday afternoon at CASTOR park,
and give them chance to redeem
themselves for the defeats administer
ed by the Oklahomans last year and
the year before.
Equally eager are the visitors from
the north who arrived Friday night
and went directly to their hotel where
they retired early. Coach owen ex-
poets to have his men out early Sat
nrday morning for little warming up
practice on the gridiron where they
will battle in the AFTERNOON. Owen
refused to be interviewed Friday night
as to his predictions concerning the
outcome of the contest. He stated his
men were in good condition and that
the morrow would tell which team was
the best.
That he would rather have had the
big game week aater in the schedule
was the statement of Coach Alder
dice of the Texans. for he does not
believe they have had the proper
amount Of hard playing together as a
team to bring them TO their full
strength

be held is an ideal field for the grid
iron contest Soft, cushiony grass will
make severe injuries to players very
improbable, yet is not so soft as tc
retard progress of the runners. Heavy
rains of the past few days also has
softened the field Fair weather Is
promised for Saturday
With twenty-six men on the Texas
squad and twenty on the Oklahoma
aggregation, the coaches said Friday
they were not positive of the exac
lineup of Saturdays contest. But i
is believed that five Dallas men vii
be on the Texas eleven when the
teams line UP for the kickoff. In al
probability Sellars will start the game
at left end for the Texans; Berry al

the line are uncertain, for there are
many strong men for center ant
guards. Pritchett. Harold, Halbert
and others may be started at these
positions.

were on the team which opposed the
