How well the Oklahoma lawyer
and the Oklahoma judge, working
together unsefishly for the better
ment Of humanity. have solved all
these grave problems of law and
state, is the pride and pleasure of
every citizen of this grand common
wealth
In Carter county alone, more than
eleven hundred cases were inherited
from the federal regime. Many men
Were awaiting Indictment; others
awaiting arrest. In some cases the
Arkansas statutes were required to be
applied in others the federal stat
utes. In some instances the decis-
ions Of the Indian Territory court Of
appeals controlled. in some the COM
mon law; in others. the Oklahoma
statutes and yet in some cases, no
laws at all. At best all such laws
were crude and inapplicable. But it
was the privilege Of the Oklahoma
lawyer. to lead. like Moses. Of old,
the children of Oklahoma out of this
wilderness into the brightness of light
and into the sunshine Of perpetual
happiness and contentment.
For instance, Judge Lurton. Of the
federal court, in the Pickens case. has
held, that inasmuch as Oklahoma
was not a party to the criminal ac-
tions brought by the United States,
and such were violation of the laws
of the nation and not Of the state,
that the courts Of the state could not
be empowered to prosecute crimes
1 against the laws Of another sover-
eighty. and the jurisdiction was
properly transferable to the courts
of the United States, having jurisdic-
tion over the place Of the crime.
Had the advice been needed and
followed, thousands Of the most vicious
criminals and outlaws would have
been cast upon the good citizenship
OF this state; a judicial chasm would
have been created, and a general am
nesty against crimes and criminal:
would have occurred.
The Oklahoma lawyer whose heart
has always beat in unison with his
people who has always upheld the
sanctity Of the laws OF his state; who
has always been the true and trusted
friend of the court. and entitled TO the
courts most cheerful courtesy anC
good will and confidence, was moi

was evident; there was no reasonable
doubt as to his guilt. In those busy
days you had TO hurry, you were de-
luged with work, there were no prece-

Remarks OF James Mathers, Delivered In
Response To Toast, "Thc Okla. Lawyer
at Banquet HonOrins Judge Williams

Possibly one Of the pleasantest and
most instructive features of the re-
cent banquet rendered Hon. Robert
l.. Williams, of the federal courts,
by the Ardmore Bar Association, was
the speech of James II. Mathers. of
the Ardmore bar delivered in response
to the toast THE Oklahoma Law

At the earnest solicitation of those
who attended the banquet The Ard
moreitt reproduces, herewith, the
full text OF Mr.. Mathers speech.
Mr. Mathers said:
lfr. Toastmaster and Members of
the Oklahoma Bar
While | sat and listened to the
pleasing speeches and drank in the
thoughts Of my two distinguished
brethren. my mind travelled in remln-
iscent TO the long, long, way back
yonder 25 years and more, but when
measured by the sand-glass of the
swift-fleeting years, 1t seemed but
yesterday, since Ardmore was but
the whistllng station for the Santa
Fe, and the broad prairies of Okla
homa were the homes Of the nomadic
cowman; when all was uncertainty,
confusion and chaos, and darkness
was upon the face OF the deep.
Along with the sturdy pioneer, who
by his toll felled the forest and fash
ionsd from its logs his humble home,
the ring Of his ak being the bugle
cali 10 civilization, came, also, such
great, grand, kind, merciful and good
judges. such as Shackelford, Stuart
Kilgore and Townsend, each, in turn
contributing his gift 10 the civiliza-
ton Of the Indian Territory. Came
also, with these kind-hearted judges
who became and was, their constant
help assistant and reliance, the In
dian Territory lawyer, who, likewise
contributed his full share and portion
to the inheritance Of the citizenship
Of this great state.
All that has so truthfully, beauti'
fully and eloquently, been said OF
the Indian Territory lawyer, applies
with equal force 10 the Oklahoma
lawyer. From the boiling pot of tbs

Mother to Death, for Which Crime
His Father Was Hanged.

Toronto, Ontario.-A self-confessed
murderer Of his mother crime for
which his father was hanged seven
years ago-Arnell Love, aged % years,
a Feline, Ontario, farmer is in jail
here today. During recent evangelistic
services in his home town, Love went

dubbed his mother to death because
she had reprimanded him ''for keeping
bad company" Young Love was the
principal witness against his father,
Henry Love, who was convicted by a

at that time was circumstantial, on the

fession. On advice Of the evangelist,
Love gave himself over to the police,

BIGGEST HAUL
BY CAR THIEVES
Railway Detectives Ask
Aid of Police in Find
ing Big Loot.
FIFTY TIRES TAKEN

One Of the biggest car robberies in
the history of the county was brought
to light on Wednesday evening when
H. G. Riley, special agent of the North
western Railway company, asked the
city police officers to cooperate with
the railway officials in an 4ffort to
capture. thieves who broke into a box
car out on "the farm" on the night Of
July 18th and secured automobile tires
and inner tubes to the value of prob
ably $4,000. 1t is believed that mo-
tor truck was used to remove the tires
and tubes but the railway officials have
not been able to get any clew to the
guilty parties.
The report declares that the thieves
secured fifty 33x4-inch tires of the
Goodyear make together with the in
ner tubes for them. The car had or
iginally been in the yards of the Nash
company and it had been partly I'M
loaded when it was picked up by a
switching crew and taken to "the
farm" While it was at the farm, the
tire thieves invaded it. 1t was the
second robbery Of boxcar to be re-
ported from Kenosha in short time.
In the other robbery the thieves get
ten cases Of loganberry wine. It is
believed that the tires were stolen by
Kenosha people, but no arrests have
been made as yet.
