would interest themselves in driving
from Oklahoma the bootlegger and

criminals, such as occurred in Okla

be no occasions either for legal or

is made to enact laws that would
make it possible to enforce Oklaho-

people are quick to come to defense
OF the gambler and the bootlegger by
arguing that the passage of such laws
would be giving to the governor OF

might be abused, and thus is the ar

The recent mmrder of n good ana
splcndi citizen in Oklahoma CITY ana
the subsequent lynching of his slayer
has been the occasion of much dis-
cussion on the part of citizens, and
editorial comment on the part OF the
newspaper reporters as to the cause
leading to the lynching and the res
possibility back of it. Now that SUI
hcicnt time has interviewed to permit
men of intelligence to study soberly

ma he made that the people may form
their own conclusions as to whether
or not the attitude of the chief eN-
CCuuve. on the question OF capital
punishment, had anything whatever

the subsequent lynching.
