VERY LITTLE WORK
BY SENATE SESSION
BODY EVENTUALLY GOES INTO
EXECUTIVE SESSION TO CON-
SlDER BUSINESS.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Dec. A.
The senate reached a working basis
late this afternoon and went into
executive session ''for the purpose OF
considering business on the presi-
dents desk" The business was
nothing more than the nominations
or confirmation as members of the So
called new state board OF education
and five district judges, submitted
in the governors message yesterday
All done in executive session, aside
from long talks, was the adoption OF
two resolutions, one directed that the
message of yesterday be returned to
the governor for insertion OF the
dates when his new appointees terms
would expire providing they are con-
firmed This information was given
the messenger at the executive Office
and brings pointedly into the contro-
versy the commissions issued to Cain
Weith and Johnston, new members.
The second resolution directs the
secretary of state to appear before
the senate with all the records OF his
office pertaining to the either so
called old or new boards. This piece
of strategy had been in contemplation
by the old board members, since II
lays before the senate in an official
way the fact tht the governor had
made other and prior appointments

formation before the senate their con-

Or. Chas. Fletcher Says Only Person
il Deters is Victims.
Boston. Mass, Feb. 14.-With the
question Dare We Murder" as a
theme. DR.. Charles Fleischer told his
hearers. at the Majestic theater. what
he thinks about capital punishment.
He said:
"One cannot argue for or against
capital punishment and hope TO win
converts. All the statistics which may
be produced in favor of or against
capital punishment will never convince
one who has a prejudice for one side
or the other. Therefore | mean TO give
no argument but simply TO plead for
the abolition of what TO me is obvious
ly relic of barbarism. have no
one in mind for whom 1 want particu-
larly to ask sympathy, but want sim
ply to add my voice to those of the
many who are seeking to avoid the fur
ther EQUALIZATION of a crime which
we deny to the individual murderer.
also, | want to add my influence
toward promoting the growing tenden-
cy to recognize the social responsibility
for individual crime, and that without
holding the individual any less respon-
sible. We must address ourselves to
the prevention of murder and whatever
other crimes are the proof of surviving
beastliness and savagery in our hu-
man nature. We do not, squarely face
our social problems. We permit condi-
tions which foster crime. and then
calmly and irresponsibly punish the
criminals for crimes which We have
fairly educated and encouraged them
to commit
in the case of murder. II is as stu
pid as 1t is sardonic to say that capi-
tai punishment acts as deterrent. II
does actually deter the rare murderer
who may be executed, and effectively
prevents his ever committing murder
again. But IL cannot prevent other
murderers. where we permit the social
conditions and the individual ignorance
and brutality which now snake con-
tinuous murders possible.
Our only hope, then, lies in the bet
ter organization Of life. so that its Sc
cred worth will become universally
known, and its opportunities equally
shared by all the children of the hu-
man family"
