Harrison's View.

Harrison yentured the opinion that
the character of frauds alleged by
the protest, had been held immaterial
by the supreme court in the case a
year ago, involving Campbell Russelrs
petitions to recall the state board of
agriculture. Attorney Ledbetter con-
tended that the court had ignored the
matter of certain frauds perpetrated
by petition circulators, but the secre-
tary responded that the frauds had
been before the court and that if they
were ignored, it was on the ground
that they were immaterial.
Reflection on Court.
1T is a reflection on the supreme
court to say that the court held that"
said Ledbetter.
You're the fellow that's rejecting
on the court retorted Harrison,
when You say that the court didn't
consider the whole case
Harrison then arbitrarily dismissed
the protest, explaining that he did so
en- the ground that the supreme court
had passed on the fraud matters, and
that the legal points were not for him
to decide
Notice Of appeal was served by At
torney Stuart, who asked that the
record be transmitted to the supreme
court Immediately.

BY virtue of a continuance granted
a fortnight ago, the capitol referen-
dunn matter was set for hearing We'd
nesday, with every prospect that a
long session of evidence taking would
be necessary. Judge Frank Dale and
the city attorney of Guthrie joined
the issues by filing a general denial
of all the fraud charges brought by
the local lawyers.
Attorneys Ledbetter and Stuart, for
Oklahoma City made their tender Of
evidence, Offering to prove that sew
eral thousand signatures on the refer
endum petitions-more than enough
to invalidate them, had been secured
fraudulently or appeared irregularly
on the petition forms.

Huerta Issues Decree

Mexico City, Nov 6-President HUI
erta yesterday by decree made Sill
YER 50-cent pieces legal tender, as
well as the bank notes of the Bank
of London and the National Bank.
Branches Of these banks are also
authorized to put out their notes as
legal tender. 1t is specified that
while a metal reserve will be re-
tanned by the bank, the notes shall
not be redeeemd in specie for one
year.
The decree sets forth that this
has been rendered necessary because
of the high rates of exchange and
the resultant tendency of the public
to melt down silver pesos. which
contain more than twice the amount
of metal contained in the SOC piece.

"About four years ago was bothered
dreadfully with ringworm around my
mouth. I did not pay much attention
to it at first, although 1t looked bad.
It spread rapidly and itched and
burned dreadfully. The first thing I
knew my arms from the elbows down
were covered with ringworm, and my
face seemed worse. I got some medi-
cine which relieved the itching and
sort of dried up the ringworm. but 1t
kept coming back. l decided to let
the medicine go, and I scratched them
until they were sore. At that time
there must have been four on my face.
One extended from the corner Of ny
mouth under my chin. That was the
largest one, but the smaller ones look
ed as bad for they were kept fiery red
from my scratching. Each Of these
red blotches was raised about one six.

SHORT ON BROTHERLY LOVE
Luckily William Had Grace Enough to
Remember That Henry
Was Sacred.

William was not kind to his small
brother Henry; in fact, he looked upon
him as a nuisance, a scourge sent from
heaven to try his spirit and spoil his
fun. Especially that day was Henry a
thorn In the older boys flesh. In his
efforts to rid himself of his burden,
William resorted to all the methods
the mind of youth suggested, but in
vain. Henry continued to stick as
close. II not closer. than brother.
William" finally said the boys
father. who had witnessed, unheard,
the final paroxysm Of the unequal
struggle, you should be ashamed of
yourself to treat your little brother in
that way! He ought to be sacred to
YOU"
William made no reply; but short
ly afterward. believing himself to be
free Of surveillance, he was heard to
address Henry thus: Always taggid'
after me! II you weren't sacred I'd
break your blamed face for you'll

charged in the indictments. These
crimes were all committed in the
name Of organized labor. will not
believe that organized labor approves
of such practices.
"Any organization that approves
and adopts the methods Of these de-
PENDANTS is an outlaw and will meet
the fate which outlaws have met since
civilized society began.
"The evidence shows some of these
defendants to be guilty Of murder, but
they are not charged here with that
crime; this court cannot punish them
for it, nor should it be influenced by
such consideration in fixing the meas
ure Of punishment for the crimes
charged.
1.-THE certainty of punishment, not
its severity, is the important consid-
Grafton in the administration of GRIM
inal justice. Such punishment should
be meted out as shall warn others
that even IL they desire to accom-
plish lawful ends they must not vio-
late the law in the attempt to realize
them. Keeping these considerations
in view. the court must repress that
indignation which every law-abiding
citizen naturally feels at the crimes
which the evidence in this case dis
closes, in addition to those for which
the defendants have been found
guilty, and as near as may be possible
confine the punishment within its
proper scope"
Referring to the iron workers
strike, which began In 1905, and
which the government charged was
the motive which prompted John j.
Mcnamara to use dynamite a. q
weapon, Judge Anderson said the
strike was attended by picketing.
then by slugging and riots. He added:
"But in 1906 a campaign by dyna-
mite was inaugurated, and, beginning
with explosions in the East and ex-
tending from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific. continued until the arrest of the
McNamaras and McManigal in April,
1911.
"The evidence In this case shows
that almost 100 explosions, damaging
and destroying structures in process
of erection by, and machinery OF,
open-shop concerns. took place, cul-
minating on the first day of October,
1910. In the destruction OF the Los
Angeles Times building and the tnur-
der Of twenty-one people. Every one
OF these explosions WAS upon the work
OF open-shop concerns, and no explo-
sion is shown to have taken place up
on any closed-shop Job. Since the ar
rest Of the McNamaras and McMani-
gal these explosions have ceased.
This system OF destruction was
not carried on for revenge or obedi-
ence to any other human passion, but
for the deliberate purpose, by a verit-
able reign Of terror. to enforce com.
pliance with the demands of the iron
workers upon the open and closed
shop question"
The entire proceedings in court, ns
climax to the three months dyna-
mite conspiracy trial. required only
two hours from the time court
