SIX NEW BUILDINGS
PLANNED FOR FUTURE
ON CAPITOL GROUNDS
ONE Is TO BE STATE LIBRARY
AND ANOTHER A MANSION
FOR GOVERNOR

Oklahoma City, July 2s.--The state
board OF public affairs today accepted
the plans of George w. Kessler, land
scape architect. for the Improvement
and Identification Of the capitol dis
trlct. Negotiations are still pending
for the acquiring OF the land required
by the Kessler plan and unless the
state and owners of the tracts desired
can agree, condemnation proceedings
will result.

Identification OF the grounds in the
way of sunken gardens In the center
of Lincoln boulevard. trees, shrubs and
flower gardens. walks and rives, the
plan contemplates the future erection
Of six additional buildings in the CAPT
tol district. One of these will bS the
home of the state supreme court and
the criminal court Of appeals.
Another probably will be a library
and this may or may not include the
historical department, as IL Is possible

housed in the proposed victory me-

legislature. These buildings are to be
located on either side of Lincoln boule.
ward, south OF and in front of the
capitol building.
Another Improvement contemplated
is an executive mansion. This was
provided for in the appropriations OF
the last legislature but was vetoed
by Governor Robertson. The plan
contemplates the acquisition of about
40 acres south of the statehouse, reach
ing to Sixteenth street and this is the
property which owners refuse to sell
at $1,000, as provided by the leSisla
ture. The Kessler plan also calls Tor
the eventual acquisition Of about ~
acres north of Twenty.third street, op'
posite the north entrance to the capi'
tol and this would provide sites for
three additional buildings as future
needs would suggest
The board of affairs has completed
the survey of the ground south OF the
statehouse it desires to acquire and
finds that the area necessary Is trltle
more than 50 acres, but a dispute as
to the ownership of Lincoln boulevard
once dedicated to the public but taken
back by the owners, according to their
representations, may require the ac'
QUESTION of about four and haH

board is ready to report to the gov
ernor that condemnation proceedings
will be necessary to acquire the south
tract. as the owners are demanding as
high as $4,000 an acre.

GOVERNOR SUGGESTS GRAND
JURY TO INQUIRE INTO THE
TULSA-SAPULPA STRIKE

Oklahoma City, July 23.-Before
leaving yesterday afternoon for Wood
ward. where he will deliver an address
today, Governor Robertson announced
that he favors the convening Of
grand jury to investigate the conduct
of officials charged with the respon-
sibility of maintaining law and order,
rather than the establishment of mar
tial law and rule, as a solution of the
difficulties and disorders growing out
of the strike of street car employees at
Tulsa and Sapulpa. Governor Robert
son said that in his opinion the situa-
ton is entirely within the control of
local officials and that if they fail to
cope properly with the situation he
favors a grand jury investigation.

No, the police cannot hope to grap-
pie with the whole involved social and
economic question of poverty. This
does not mean, however, that they
should not study poverty among other
causes of crime for the purpose of
seeing if something, even if only a
very little, might not be done to save
few sorely tempted and poverty
stricken persons from dropping into
crime.
The winter of 1915-'16 was a hard

What are the causes Of crime? Many
have sought the answer. Studies have
been made Of conyicts, seasoned Grim

been made too of first offenders, people
apparently normal to see what it was
that tempted them off the straight and
narrow path.
We are to apt to believe that their
is a clear division between criminals
and "the rest of US" By criminals we
mean those low -browed, hard faced in
habitants of prison cells, who are let
loose from time to time, far too often
for our comfort or peace Of mind, to
prey upon us, to sneak into our bed
rooms at dead Of night and take what
We have, looking at our trembling
selves meanwhile over the cold, blue
barrel Of pistol.
There are such desperadoes, it is
true, who cruelty and systematically
pursue the trade of housebreaking and
stealing, with murder thrown in if
necessary. They are professionals.
In addition TO these, however, are
what might be called the amateur Grim
inals, who steal only under the stress
of one kind of circumstances or an
other, often after genuine fight to
resist the temptation. The line between
the habitual and the casual criminal
is hard to draw, just as it is in d very
real sense between an offender who is
caught, convicted and placed behind
iron bars and one who isn't caught.
We must, of course, recognize the
fact that police forces cannot be ex-
pected to abolish poverty. This "a
