coNcnlruLArEs THE soLoNs
uuphcs Writes About the Pool Hal
Bill.

Jonuur -, l915.-uouorahle Jim
sykes. Honorable Wash Hudson, Okla
homa city, Okla.
Gentlemen: We notice i'm the morn,
ing paper. TULSA World. that q mn
was passed i'm the Legislature WhlCa
provides that all pool and billiard haIls
i'm the state OF oklahoma shall be abol-
ished.
Voting for this bill. we notice that
our honorable representatives are IN
the vanguard.
We desire to congratulate You on
the fact that, as good Democrats, Nol.
seem to be willing to stand pehIhu
your guns and by the curtallment OF
all personal rights and privileges lhaI
the individual might assume to have
and which are detrimental to hold,
shall come under the criminal code.
In future days II will come TO be
known that the old Democratic theory
Of individual rights Is not at all IN
Niolablc. and that he must be brought
TO understand the necessity of modern
civilization to preserve society from
falling to pieces.
Now. since this evil is, or will be-,
immediately eliminated from society,
we wish 60 call your attention TO an
other evil which ought TO be abolished
and made a criminal act.
Occasionally even a society girl has
been known to play billiards, also,
gentlemen have been known TO play
billiards and pool, but since II Is evi-
dent that it does not do them any good
10 play billiards or pool, then it should
be- abolished.
Sometimes a society girl has been
known TO ride horseback; also. gen
tlcmen have been known 10 do the
same. but this exercise, like billiards,
should be abolished for the reason
that it is OF no particular value; Ike
wise. thugs and toughs loaf around
livery stables similar TO those congre-
eating In pool halls, one having about
as odorifcrous an odor as the other.
Therefore. the individual should be
prohibited from riding horseback. Rs
II ls n dangerous exercise for any class
Of persons.
From the time Of Dick Turpin 10
the present day every outlaw, brigand
and bank robber. and all general all
around thugs who are detrimental TO
society have been known to ride
horseback. This OF itself shows that
1t is one OF the most dangerous CNer-
cises that the human race is liable to
indulge In.
1t is even worse than pool and bill
lizards,
Tor
Some pool and billiard sharks are
unable TO get about the country on
horseback and thereby fail TO rob
banks.
Therefore. I desire 20 commend you
on what curtailment OF personal liber-
ties you have accomplished. and rec
ommend that you extend your efforts
for the betterment of society I'm the
direction above indicated.
/ have the honor to be n OF your
most faithful and obedient servants.
Yours truly,

note Of the time Of assembling and
the time of adjournment each day;

time taken mp in telling funny

According TO the figures the legis-
Iaturo has been in session less than
three hours each day. There has not
been a bill Of importance passed cN-

nor am effort made to redeem a sin

Duraut, with Redeemed face and

There's only one object in making

speech and get his name in the rec
ord"
Glasco demanded a roll call on the
motion, and two dozen members
joined i'm this demand. The roll call
was ordered on a motion by Durant
to table the Glasco motion. on the
roll call many Republicans voted with
the Democrats TO table the motion
and II prevailed by a vote of 60 to 80.
This is the split that has been
threatening for several days and to
prevent which daily sessions Of the
Democratic caucus have been held.
GlasCO - a recognized Democratic
house leader. but in view Of today's
incidents it is likely that he will join
Ben Harrison and other semi-insur-
gents. II is probable that the com

will be killed.
