Cole l.. Blease of South Carolina, who
has pardoned twelve hundred con-

to clean out the state penitentiary

ever objects to that isn't Christian
but plain hypocrite. If all the men
guilty OF crime were tried many gen.

from vicious places to keep the eyes

there will be more souls lost through
hypocricy than through all the other
crimes in the decalogue.

bring ont the good in him and give |
him another chance in life, the same |
people yell, 'pardoning too many peo-

talk, but if you will look into your

Lee Cruce, Governor,
Oklahoma City.

July Is, 1914.
In 1893 just four years after thu
opening of Oklahoma, the Columbia!
exposition was held at Chicago, the
people of the territory of Oklahoma
saw fit to build state building ant
place an exhibit at the fair, and the
people of the world were amazed al
the showing made by the early pio
neers. They were impressed with
the possibilities Of Oklahoma, and as
a result thousands of desirable set
tiers located in Oklahoma.
| Eleven years iater, in 1901, the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition was
held at st. Louis, ard again the peo-
pie of Oklahoma huilt a state Dui'd
ing, and placed an exhibit there, all
Of which was of interest to the visit
ors from all parts OF The world 1t
showed the wonderful progress that
had been made since the territory
was opened, showing development al
most unbelievable. Again, following
the exposition, increased thousands
Of desirable citizens moved to Okla
hOma. millions in capital found its
way to Oklahoma, all of which was
very beneficial to the further de-
velopment of our resources.
And now, eleven years later, there
will be held at San Francisco the
Panama-Pacific International Exposi- |
tion, commemorating the opening of |
the Panama canal in the accom-
plishment of which every American
takes just pride. This exposition not |
only offers the opportunity, but pla- |
ces the responsibility upon the pep
pie Of Oklahoma to erect a suitable |
state building, and make a creditable |
exhibit of our educational advance
ment, our agricultural progress, ana |
a display of our oil ami mineral re
sources.
For this purpose the Oklahoma
Panama Exposition commission was
Incorporated and has been working
tirelessly for months without com.
pensation. Many schools, cities, in
stitutions, and industries have con-
tributed, but in order that each and
every citizen may have the oppor-
tunity, and the honor and pleasure OF
assisting in this worthy movement,
l take pleasure in setting aside a
day:
SATURDAY, AUGUST Is, 1914
to be known as
- EXPOSITION DOLLAR DAY
and it is to be hoped that thousands
of Oklahoma citizens will on that
day contribute ONE DOLLAR to the
Exposition State Building fund.
Arrangements will no doubt be
made with the banks in every town
throughout the state to receive these
contributions, and It is also the plan
to have representative young ladies
in each town solicit such contribu-
tions, and when the contributors
names are furnished to the Oklahoma
Panama Exposition commission, cer-
tifcates will be sent to each contribu-
tor in recognition of their patriotic |
spirit.
