| Juarez Horses are Coming.
1t is understood that a good many
of the horses that have been run
ming on the Juarez track the past
winter are en- route to the Tulsa
meet. There have been rumors that
the bookmakers who nave Deen dl-
! Viding their revenue with the victor
at Juarez will accompany the horses
tc Tulsa. 1t is a mere rumor, OF
course, that there is to be any at
tempt at bookmaking in Tulsa but
the tribute that was levied by Villa
in Juatez in the cause of liberty,
fraternity and equality has been so
burdensome as to make of some Of
the race followers veritable sans
culcttes, and they try to recoup in
the booming center of Oklahoma S
oil development region.
1t has probably appealed to eiov,
Cruce as likely that there is a chance
of somebody attempting viola
tion of the law at Tulsa and that is
doubtless the reason he has for an
nouncing in advance that the soldiers
of the state would be employed to-
suppress race track gambling if it,
became necessary.
The races at Tulsa are scheduled
to open April II. Preparations
have been made for a nifty meet
that ought to develop a great deal
of interest and attract a considerable |
patronage for the love of the sporr.
1t may be that the alarm about race
track gambling being in the cards
for the Tulsa meet is without foun-
dation in fact. However that may
be, there is no doubt at all about
the determination of Gov. Cruce to
enforce the law. And it is submitted

he is intending to visit Tulsa during
the race meet with his family, and
hopes to be able to enjoy himself
a bit gambling with the bookmakers
and listening to the seductive in
ytations of the tou,s.
Governor OF Same Opinion Still.
The letter has not convinced Gov
Cruce, however. The governor be
lieves that laws are made to be en-
forced. Entirely aside from the fact
that the anti bookmaking law has
his hearty sympathy, he is certain
it will have to be enforced, be-
cause it is the law of the land. GOV.
Cruce says he hopes he will not
have to send state soldiers to Tulsa
to stop bookmaking and he has no
idea that he will have to resort to
drastic measures-Ibut he has every
intention in the world of seeing to
it that the law shall be enforced,
And this Oklahoma law against
rHce track gambling is unique in
that it has bristles all over it and
is so framed that it is going to be
mighty hard to violate it even if the
enforcement officers should not be
over anxious to see that it is en-
forced. The law was enacted by
the legislature Of 1913. 1t provides
that it shall be unlawful for any
person or persons or association of
persons, corporation or corporations
ana thar is rather sweeping and
inclusive as to potential violators-
to bet or wager by means of book,
machines on other devise, or to oc-
cupy any room, shed, tenement or
building or any part thereof or to
occupy any place upon any grounds
with boows, apparatus Cr parapher-
MALTA for the purpose of recording
or registering of bets or wagers or
Of selling pools or making books
or mutues upon the result cf any
ttal of speed or power of endurance
Of animals or beasts, or of being the
owner or lessee or occupant of any
room. ctC.-an of which seems to-
that the lawmakers of the
oklahoma Legislature Of 1913 were
and sapient persons who
knew how TO make a blanket provis- |
on, The law then goes down the

Convictions are Made Easy.
As if that were not enough, the
lawmakers added a section down to-
ward the bottom of the law that
