OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug 19-The
matter of embracing within the stat

Items in appropriation bills was
something new introduced In the
printing OF session laws of the legls-
lature by Governor Williams. The
action called forth criticism from j.
j.. Lyon, secretary Of state, who must
approve the session laws. That por-
tion Of the book taken up with the
Views OF the governor was disap-

senator c. j. Logan, who assisted
in compiling the statutes, supports
the action OF the governor and be
lieves while IL is new departure
that 1t will be valuable information
for the coming legislatures. Senator
Logan says:
MANY of the appropriation bills
disapproved by the governor, partic-
ularly those vetoed items In the gem
eral deficiency bill, have been before
former legislaturs When these bills
are resubmitted the legislature of the
future will want to know why the

Senator Logan takes the view that

PART OF BABYLONIAH

ing books of the epic Of Gilgamesh.
regarded as one of the oldest and
noblest poems in the world. The epic
was composed about the time OF
Abraham, but all known tablets and
fragments of tablets containing it date
from a much later period. George
Smith made the first discoveries more
than forty years ago. The tablet In
the University museum was probably
written between 600 B. G. and 300
B. c., he says. 1t was translated by
DIR. Stephen Langdon, curator of the
Babylonian section of the University
museum, and, according to that schol-
ar, contains important new material
bearing on the whole epic and also
supplies missing data and mentions
hitherto unrecorded nations. 1t tells
the story of how barbarous man, in
the person of Enkidu, is redeemed by
the love and devotion Of woman.
Gilgamesh, a half mythical king, by
many identified with Nimrod, ruled so
cruelty that the people asked the gods
for relief. The mother goddess made
from clay a wild satyr, covered with
hair, but strong enough to oppose Gil
gamesh. who was two-thirds god.
Eventually Enkidu is changed by love
of q woman to a civilized being, loses
his hair and becomes a rival of Gilga-
mesh. with whom he has a terrific
combat. Finally the men become
friends. Gilgamesh forsakes his evil
ways, and the two heroes start on ad-
ventures. which are told in the other
tablets already well known.
