The jubilee is to consist OF series

be presented 1t will eXemplify the
musical accomplishments of the
American negro. Features of the
program will be the rendition of old
time plantation melodies by choir OF
a hundred voices, and the instrument
al performance of work by such com
posers as List, Wagner, Cook and
Herbert. At this meeting the new

FIRST CAST THE BEAM, ETC.

Oklahoma has governor in the
person OF Lee Cruce who does not be-
lieye in capital punishment. He thinks
that according to the teachings of the
Bible, as Interpreted by his own mlnd
and heart and conscience, one man Is
forbidden the taking OF that from an
other which he can not restore. II
the man shoots another down in cold
blood, or sinks the knife OF assassina-
tion between his shoulders, has vio-
lated the laws OF God and robbed the
victim Of the God-given vital spot his
punishment should, in theo pinion or
Governor Cruce. rest with the God
whose laws has been violated. IN
other words, "the Lord giveth and the
Lord taketh away" and no conditions
and no existing laws Of man will JUS
tfy the taking OF human life In
punishment or retallation-ihe rob-
bing of the body OF a fellow man OF
that vital spark which the hand OF
man can not return to him.
Whether or not Lee Cruce is actu-
ated by purely conscientious scrup!es
in entertaining the opinion he does
upon the subject OF capital punish
ment, it is not for man to say. The
writing, Judge not lest ye be judged"
is seemingly just as pertinent and is
undoubtedly just as much a part OF
the scriptures as are the words, he
who sheddeth mans blood by man
shall his blood be shed"
Acting as far as man should judge,
according to the dictates of his own
conscience, Lee CrIce, since he has
been governor of the state of Okla
homa- has never signed "A death war
rant. Consequently his hands are un-
stained by the blood of even legal
execution. Whether he is right in this
or not, it should not be for man TO
Judge. Ills case should be just as
much in the hands of God as though
he were himself upon trial and his
own life in jeopardy,
However, in a sermon delivered
from one of the pulpits of the state,
minister of the gospel of the Christ
who gave his life that the sins of
man might be forgiven, has seen fit to
attack the governor for the stand
which he has taken in this matter.
Rev. ]. S. Millin OF the Presbyterian
church in sermon delivered last
Sunday, denounces the stand of the

governor and says that the laws OF
Moses which set forth that the taker
of human life shall have his own life
taken-that the laws which say 'an
eve for an eye and tooth for a tooth
are still on the statute books OF God
Almighty and that the laws OF forgive
ness as laid down five thousand years
later by the Nazarene did not repeal
their iron bound rigor.
II Is not for this paper nor for the
people Of this state TO question the
good intentions which the reverend
gentleman seemed to think justified
his attack upon the scrUples OF the
states executive head, It is not for the
press OF the state to say whether
he who would cast the mote from
the eve OF a brother should first
pluck the beam from his own, it Is
not for the press Of the state TO say
whether the cause Of christianity Is
bettered and its interests advanced
by the dragging Of the conscientious
scruples of any one man before the
bar Of the church, II IS not for the
press of the state to say whether the
hearts Cf the people are purified by
listening TO an advocacy Of mob law
from the pulpit, it is not for the press
OF the state to say whether the sons
and daughters Of man are made purer
and better from worshiping a Cod OF
Love and not Of Vengeance, it is not
for the press of the state to say that
the pulpit Is prostituted when person
aly attacks are made from it, but the
fact has become automatic that the
spirit of forgiveness, the acts Of JUS
tice tempered with mercy makes this
Il better world and that our civiliza,
alton is today farther advanced, un-
der the sentence commutation sys-
TEN as practiced by all the executives
Of every country, than it was in the
days Of the bloody assizes when the
legal butcher Jenries hanged and be-
headed in the name of the law.
An eye for an eye" is still written
in the Bibles Of the Christians, the
story Of Cain still remains a part OF
the history Of the early days of the
creation, the stories of concubinage OF
rapine and lust qualification may yet
be found the admontion to Judge
not lest ye be Judged and the ElIEV-
ENTH commandment given to us as
rule Of action" by the gentle Savior

Dubinsky Bros. Here Next Week.

The announcement that Dubinsky
Bros. Stock Co, would be here all
next week has caused lots of hap
pi ness in the hearts of local theatre
goers. Everybody is glad and every
body seems to be talking about Du-
binsky Bros. No show that has ever
visited Ardmore has made the i'm
preston on local people as has Du-
binsky Bros. Stock Co.
Reports from other towns are all
the same-they seem to be universal
favorites, and well they deserve to
be, for cleaner, better behaved or
more clever organization has never
been seen in these parts. They seem
to crow right into your affections.

MINISTER CRlTlClSES CRUCE.
Capital Punishment, The Divine Pen
atty for Murder" He Says.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Sept. 10
The position of Governor Cruce III
committing death sentences TO life
Imprisonment was placed at issue -
u sermon delivered by Rev. j. x.
Millin. pastor of the United Presby-
terian church who openly condemn
ed the governor $ policy OF lenlen'!
in capital offenses. He compliment
ed the dispatch with which the law
verdict in the cases of Beattie and
Richeson was carried out.
Text for the sermon was Capital
punishment, the divine penalty tor
murder" in which he referred to the
multiplicity of honicides in Okla
homa, saying that it might be expect
ed as long as the executive by HIS
acts prevented the law being carried
out
Let the governor take the heart
the text of the evenin, Whose shea'
deth mans blood by man shall Eis
blood be shed, for in the image Cf

He referred to the words of Chris
OF, the Mount: "Ye hath heard that
il hath been said: An eye for an
eye and a toCll for a tooth, but |
say unto Won whomsoever shaa
smite thee on the right cheek, turn
him the ether also The pastor
said that the Christ was not refer
ring to the Law of the state, b'.t
was preaching Scainst personal re-
sentiment; that Ire state, not the in
dividual should mete out punish
ment and in so doing the state must
be regarded as the agent of the Lord.
Capital punishment, he said, was
preachabe, but not debatable, and
must be settled by the Scriptures,
with opinion having no place in the
matter. and philosophy no voice.
To distinguish properly between
personal resentment and the orderly
process OF law in Furnishing crime
Rev. Mr.. Millin read from the twelfth
and thirteenth chapters of Paul's
Epistle to the Romans, and assert
ed that death as n divine penalty
for murder in cold blood was affirm
ed in both the Old and the New Tes-
taments.
"But, YOU will ask, what of the
case of CAIN" said he. Cain slew
his brother because that brother was
righteous and Cain was wicked, and
whom the Lord left unpunsshed. The
case of Cain proves too much, there
fore proves nothing. Let punishment
be withheld from murderers, as 1t
was with Cain, and the world will
run to anarchy. God gave the law
of divine penalty, and it was Gods
business If he withheld 1t from Can.
But the Lord knew that it would
not work. so in later days he destroy
ed by flood all of Gains progeny
save eight whom he alone regarded
as beng fit TO become mothers on
earth. A world was destroyed he

death penalty.

PLAN TO KEEP LIQUOR OUT.
United States Marshall Will Put Pa
troI on Oklahoma Border.

Muskogee, Okla, Sept 19.-To pa
troll the border of eastern Oklahoma
along the Kansas, Arkansas and Texas
lines is the plan being worked oit
here by United States Marshal Grant
Victor to enforce the federal liquor
law and prevent the introduction of
intoxicating liquors into that section
of Oklahoma known as Indian Terri
tory and what is legally known as
Indian" country. V.ctor's announce
ment that he was to appoint ten to
twenty deputies brought scores of men
to his office to apply for jobs. Only
two have so far been appointed. Most
of the applications ere made in per
son by old time peace officers. They
trooped into the Metropolitan build
ing today booted and spurred, and all
they lacked to picture them as old
time deputies was the heavy belt and
big revolver.
BY seizing whiskey before it gets
into the interior towns, Victor hopes
to keep it out Of the forbidden terri
tory.

FAITHFUL DOG.
Watches Beside Wounded Master for
Four Days.

OUT DdJS.
Tulsa, Okla, Sept. 1910 the fidel-
ity and devotion of his dog, Louie
Jucry, a prominent Rogers county far
mer, owes his life. Juery left homo
about five days ago for a few hours
squirrel shooting. His dog accompa-
MED him. His gun exploded as he
fired at a squirrel and Juery received
a dangerous wound in the face that
rendered him unconscious for four
days. Not a minute of the time his
master was unconscious did the faith
ful dog relax his watchful vigil. The
first sight that greeted Juery's eyes
as he came to was his dog gazing in
tently into his masters face.
Juery tied a red handkerchief about
the dogs neck and told him to go
home. The animal sped there as fast
as he could travel in his weakened
condition The family, recognizing
the handkerchief, followed the dog
and were taken to the wounded nan.
They had almost given the man up
for dead when the dog appeared.
Juery Yesterday was taken to a
Claremore hospital. Physicians say he
may recover, but will lose the sight
of an eye.

case of murder. There is no ran
som, no explanation except by the
blood of him that shed it. The mob
is often right at heart. 1t fails be-
cause not appointed of God. The
mob is simply the delirium of justice.
What we need in Oklahoma is swift
Justice as went to Beattie and Rich
