BENEDICT XIV
CROWNED POPE
The Ceremony Takes Place in
SiStine Chapel
A SCENE OF SOLEMNITY
The Usual Number Of Foreigners Pres
ent Was Greatly Diminished on Ae-
count Of the War.

Pope Benedict XIV. was crowned
Sunday in the Sistine Chapel o. the
Vatican in Rome.
The scene was one Of the utmost
| solemnity, but the usual number OF
/ foreigners present was greatly dimin.
ished on account Of the war.
The pOntiicate Of the newly elected
sovereign officially dates from Sun
day, although he is really pope from
the hour Of his election.
When he entered the Sistine Chapel
the pope was attended by Noble
Guards in new red uniforms, carrying
swords in their hands.
Except for the supreme pOntiff and
the cardinals the most interesting fig.
ure in the procession was the chap
lain. 1t was he who bore the triple
crown.
The new pontiff is sixty years old.
He was created cardinal on May %,
less than four months ago.
Cardinal Della Chiesa assumed the
name of Benedict XIV.
Pope Plus X. was the son of a We
netian postman while Benedict XIV. is
a member of one of the Oldest families
OF the Italian aristocracy.
The new pope was born at Pegli, in
the diocese Of Genoa, Italy, Nov. q, /
1854, and was ordained a priest Dec /
q, 1873. He served as secretary Of the /
nunciature in Spain from 1883 TO 1887, ]
in which year he was appointed sec.
retary to the late Cardinal Rampolla.
He was appointed substitute papal |
of state in 1901, and in 1907
he was elected to the post of advisor
to the holy office.
In 1907 he was appointed papal
nuncio Of Madrid, in succession to
Rinaldini, but this appoint.
ment was cancelled three days later
The election of Cardinal Della
Chiesa came as a surprise, as his
name had not been mentioned among
the list Of candidates.

what it (the nation) chiefly eX-

certainly be most surely won by, is
the performance Of duty without fear
or favor and without regard to per.
sonal consequences"
Such IS the advice given by Presi.
dent Wilson to members Of congress
in letter to Representative Frank E.
Doremus, chairman Of the Democratic
congressional committee, who had re.
quested him to go on the stump in the
campaign for the reelection Of a Dem.
Ocratic congress.
President Wilson made it clear that
he will remain at his post in Wash.
ington during the present interna
tional crisis. He is willing, he tells
Representative Doremus. for the ad.
ministratiOn to stand on its record OF
achievements.
The future legislative program OF
the administration, the president says,
is "the building up Of our merchant
marine with al THAT means in the de-
velopment and diversification of our
foreign commerce and the systematic
conservation and economic use Of our
national resources"
Despite his determination to make
no speeches, Mr.. Wilson will take oc.
casion as opportunity offers to state
and perhaps relate to the country in
the clearest and most convincing
terms l can command, the things that
the Democratic party has attempted
to do"
The president had been asked to
speak in Iowa, Pennsylvania, Indiana,

GOV. CRUCE
FILLS PULPIT
At CLAREMORE
AT REQUEST OF BAPTIST MINIS

Claremore, Okla, Nov. Gov
ernor Lee Cruce filled the pulpit of
tie T.rst Baptist church of Care
me- Sunday night, at 10 LIT S.
of Rev. f. d. Cameron, pastor of
the church.
Governor Cruces appearance in
the local pulpit was the first that he
has made since having been elected
governor of Oklahoma. At the re-
quest of Rev. Cameron, Governor
Cruce took as the subject of his dis
course. Capital Punishment"
Excerpts from his address follow:
Il am opposed to the inhiction of
the death penalty because it is
wrong legally, morally and in every
other way. For this one thing |
have been more widely criticized than
for any other, and yet, under the
constitution of the state of Oklahoma
the right is given the chief executive
to either pardon, parole or commute

whom the death penalty has been as
sessed When a man is tried for
the commission of murder, a jury of
twelve disinterested men are select
ed to decide as to his guilt or inno-

and should they decide to assess his
punishment at death or life imprison-
ment. are they condemned for it?
After the jury has reached its decis-
ion, the privilege is given the ac-
cused to appeal his case, which then
goes before the criminal court OF
appeals, and should that body sustain
or reverse the decision of the lower
court, is it censured for doing so?
No. The right is given that body
under the law of the state to affirm
or reverse this decision, and it only
exercises this privilege. Then why
should the governor be censured,
when, acting under the privilege CIV
en- him by the constitution of the
state. he takes a stand against the
infliction of the death penalty and
commutes all death sentences to lie
Imprisonment? The same privilege
that is given the criminal court OF
appeals to change the decision of the
lower courts is given the governor
of the state. When a criminal ap-

DIES AS FORTUNE COMES
WITHIN HIS GRASP

Yale, Okla, Nov. 2.-H. c. Nc
Croskey, who died in Oklahoma Cit!
Saturday night, was the owner o.
the farm here known in the oil world
as the McCroskey farm, and on which
the Alice Kathryn company well No
| is located The McCroskey farm
is the northwest quarter of sec
ton 7-19-G; one and one-half mile
north of Yale.
Misfortune seems to have followed
McCroskey through life Several
years ago his 2-yearold child fell
from wagon, the wheels of which
crushed out the childs brains, and
a short time before the accident Nc
Croskey lost another child, which was
burned to a crisp.
McCroskey's death recalls the fact
that he was the second person here
to die just as fortune was almost
within his grasp, after having lived
most of his life in circumscribed
circumstances. William Fisher, who
died two weeks ago, was the owner
of "A farm here on which is located
the largest oil well in the midcon-
tinent field, having come in recently
at more than 5000 barrels daily. On
the Fisher farm are four other large
oil wells, known as the c. b. Shafer
wells.

KEYS entire fleet, or, at any rate, the
cruisers Goeben, Breslau and Hamid-
ieh. be put out of commission until
after the war, Turkeys security being
guaranteed in the meantime.
This would give Russia such SUI
periority in the Black Sea, that there
would be no danger of Turkish raids.
1t is suggested also that demobiliza-
tion of the Turkish army would be
demanded, which would mean that the
troops which have crossed the Egyp-
tian frontier, must be withdrawn.
However as the terms of Turkeys
apology which apparently was made
in London, have not been published
and must be considered by the entente
powers before the apology is accept
ed or refused, there seems to be
long way to go before diplomatic re-
lations between the Ottoman govern
ment and the allies can be resumed.
An added difficulty to the situation
is that the ambassadors of the powers
have left ConstantinopIe, which will
make it troublesome to ascertain
whether the whole Turkish cabinet
concurs in any agreement reached.
Meanwhile, report comes from
ConstantinopIe of the seizure of anoth-
er Russian steamer, and also that Bull
garia. which has been asked to choose
the side on which she would fight
had commenced to mobilize her sec
ond line troops.
The Germans continue to strike |
hard blows on the allies lines. Thus |
far they have found every road block
ed. but, apparently disregarding losses
they continue to attack. The floods,
the Belgian army and the British fleet
having barred their way southwest
ward along the coast, the Germans are
now striking on line stretching from
Ypres. in Belgium, to La Bassee, far
.
Their south, in France, but seemingly |
with no success. The stubbornness of
the fighting along this line may be
gathered from the fact that the town
IF Messines, which the Germans now
occupy, has been taken and retaken
no less than four times since last Sat
lrday each time with enormous loss
in killed and wounded.
Attacks also have been made along
the entire battle front as far east as
the Vosges region, but, according to
he French report, with the Germans
having no more success than in the
northwest.
Although the fighting is continuous
IN the East Prussian frontier in Po-
and and in Galicia, there is no inn
lortant change in the situation, and
t is believed none is likely until the
russian armies come up with the Ger

wandered for forty years in the will
derness, to the time when for the
commission of many minor offenses
the death penalty was assessed; to
the time when the people had no
place in which to imprison criminals.
Do modern laws approve of the death
penalty for petty offenses and minor
crimes? Is there any similarity to
the civilization of today and that of
the children in the wilderness?
From the Bible l get the strong
est reasons for my belief on this
question-from the laws handed down
by God in the Ten Commandments,
one of which is Thou shalt not kill,
the laws upon which today the great
er portion of our laws are founded.
There are but two instances chron-
icled in the Bible where God or
Christ acted as judge in assessing
the punishment for crimes in which
the death penalty could have been
inficted-Cain slew his brother Abel
and as punishment God placed mark
upon him so that all men should
know of his crime, and allowed him
to go his way in the world. To the
accusers of the woman, Christ said,
Let him that is without sin cast
the first stone and to the woman,
Go and sin no more.
