On the heels Of determination on
the part fthe state Board OF Educa-
tion to take Oklahoma's educational
institutions out OF
"CHARGES"- politics. CO m g
POLITICS AND tn G Honorable
SCHOOLS Jesse Watts, law
yer and jurist, Of
Wagner. who would again place
these schools within the uncertain
bounds and limits of political for
tune, In that he seeks to have a Nor
NAL school teacher fired" on tho
childish and absurd charge OF "un-
due activity.
Reference is made TO the filing by
Watts of charges against Prof. A. S.
Faulkner Of the Durant Normal to
the effect that Faulkner was unduly
active in securing financial aid for
Corley McDarment, when McDarmeIt
was in Jail charged with the murder
of Watts son.
Immediately after the unfortunate
affair in the Wagoner school house,
in which Watts son lest his life,
Watts was quoted as saying that he
bore. young McDarment no malice,
and wanted him to have fair trial.
| II is noticeable, however. that the
/ best of legal counsel was engaged to
assist in the prosecution, and in view
of such an array of talent, home
less, penniless defendant had beau
! tiful chance for fair trial, Unless
counsel is provided (and lawyers
charge feesJ such a defendant has
about one chance. and that is to
plead guilty and ask for clemency,
for the budding lawyers that are US
ually appointed by the court without
fee for the purpose of defending
penniless defendants lave about "a
much chance against the old heads
as a SNOWFALL has in, hades.
McDarment lived for many years
in Durant, where he secured much
of his school training and later was
teacher in the schools Here he
had friends-the kind of friends whit
stick by one when everything looks
black, with no hope of light-these
friends (several hundred of them
threw in their bit and provided foI
McDarment what he could not pro.
vide for himself fH ~
The jury that weighed the evidence
found the defendant not guilty.
If Watts was sincere i'm his ex.
pressed desire that McDarment have
n fogr trf,1 ,ybxy d;d ba apgoga coVp
sci to assist in the prosecution; and
failing to convict. why does he now
seek the ruin of one of this commun
ity's best educators and best men or
the sole charge that this man helped
a friend who needed help? And
why did he threaten to canvass Bry
an County in .opposition to County
superintendent Mcintosh, who also
had the courage to help friend who
was down and out?
Watts wants to get somebody
anybody--and. be sure that he has il
in good and strong for anybody whC
aided McDarment.
/ We do not believe the Board o
Education will take much stock II
Watts charges, although Watts +
sore enough and smart enough t,
bring plenty of political influence t.

This case will test the Board
courage. It remains to be seei
