Hadley Releases Convicts at Rat,
of Fifth in Prison.

jefferson City, NO., Jan. Gov.
Hadley released 2O7 Missouri convicts
in 1911, thus bringing his pardons up
to Az in three years, which breaks
the record for executive clemency in
the State, as shown by the official
records in the office of the Secretary
of State.
The total number of pardons and
combinations issued by preceding
Governors amounted to 800 to 500 in
a four-year term.
!. If the Executive continues the pace
he will have released almost 700 by
the close Of another year. This is a
rate Of one-fifth of those received in
the prison.
In the past three years executive
clemency has been bestowed upon
thirty-seven robbers, eighteen rapists,
fifty-one forgers, sixty-seven thieves,
ninety-eieht burglars, 118 murderers
and manslaughterers and thirty-nine
felonious assailants or would-be MUIR

The Butler Public Schools,

The fourth month of school is now
finished. In many respects it was
the best month of the year. The
pupils were interested in their work
and diligent while at school. The
average work done was excellent.
The enrolment to date in the grades
is SIP. In December the per cent of
attendance was ninety-six. There
were five cases of Hardness. There
were no truancies and only three
cases of corporal punishment.
In the High School the enrolment
is two hundred. The per cent of at
tendance for the month of December
was SO. There were but two cases of
tardiness. There were no truancies
and no corporal punishments. This
is the best record the high school has
made for punctuality in the nine years
l have been connected with the
schools.
In recent article it was said that
the high schools of the county are
crowded with the present enrolment.
l wish to assure the public that the
Butler High School still has an abun-
dance of room. We invite all who
are ready for high school work to
enroll with us.
1wish again to say to the public
that all pupils in the fifth, sixth,
seventh and eighth grades should
work an hour at home. High School
students should study two hours at
home. Some will fail in every grade
for want of this home work. Since
this home study is required, pupils
have no time for social dances, pic
ture shows and other forms of amuse-
ment on school nights. When pupil
has been out the night previous, he is
too sleepy and tired to do good work
in school.
Parents, we invite you to visit our
schools and see the work that is done.
Both teacher and pupils are encour-
aged by your visits.
Respectfully,
John 0. Henderson,
Supt. of Schools.

Negroes Lynchers Thanked by
Judge,

Fort Smith, Ark, Jan. 1.-The
mob that lynched Sam Turner, the
Eufaula, Ok, negro, at Muldrow,
Ok, yesterday morning after he had
killed George Carson, a white farmer,
and then attacked his wife, will not
be punished.
Both District Judge John Pitchford
of Tahlequah and County Attorney j.
E. Shackleford of Sallisaw tonight de-
clared they would take no further
recognition of the affair.
IF there ever was a crime com.
mitted under the sun that deserved
the punishment that black brute re-
ceived," declared Judge Pitchford,
1T was the affair at Muldrow. That
beat got what he deserved. do not
intend making any effort whatever to
prosecute the lynchers.,
''The mob saved the county a big
expense by lynching the negro, as
we'll as preparing a lesson for the
future. I doubt if any Grand Jury
could be obtained in the entire South
west to endict the men who made up
mob, and l am more than certain that
if indictments were returned the de-
PENDANTS never would be convicted.
Prosecutions would only prove a
needless expense"
Il wouldn't spend one cent to try
the members of the mob," declared
District Attorney Shaekleford. Think
the lynching was perfectly justifiable,
and so far as am concerned the
members of the mob may rest in
peace. A lynching is indeed a nasty
affair, but where a crime like this
man committed is involved, lynch law
is perfectly justifiable."
