OUR INDIGNANT GOVERNOR.

Gov. James Robertson proclaims himself in
dignant at the stain put upon the state by tho
iynching In this city Saturday night. He will
have the matter thoroughly probed and will
Affer a reward for the leaders
Fine Az the leader OF an indignation meet
2ng our governor h at his very best 1t will be
recalled with some gusto the fine Indignation
expressed by him while in Caiforna over tho

from the escutclfeon OF state. But as soon as
he crossed It's boundary he began soft ped
aling And without a single act word Of CEN
sure. gave his henchman clean bill OF health,
declared them honorable men and asked the
citizenship OF the state to forget It.
They haye-not. as tho regrettable Incident
OF Saturday night demonstrates.
when we consider the stain put upon the
state. those OF us familiar with current events
will not hesitate to which is the blaokest II
forced TO render Judgment between the common
practice OF freeing criminals In tho form of law
and order, occasionally summarily punish
Ing them In form OF law defiance.
1t may be stain upon the state for a gather
ering OF outraged citizens to take the law into
their hands for the purpose of executing just
punishment, and unquestionably It is. but tho
blame for that stain rests inevitably with tho
political conditions that have made the very
name OF justice by-word. and brod in tho
criminal clement the certain knowledge that
conviction by Jury and the assessment Of
punishment by court means only temporary
embarrassment.
But the governor IL going to have lot of
stain cleaning to do and fine opportunity for
an extended Indignation party. For az the very
moment he was passionately oondemning tho
Tulsa incident a mob" composed OF two in
divlduas, was quietly entering the jail at the
capital and peaceaby taking from It dark
skinned murderer without opposition or pro-
test, The first report was that the mob" was
composed OF friends OF the criminal ana that
they merely gave him his freedom; but we shall
not be surprised II his body is found dangling
AZ the end Of a rope. For Oklahoma city cti-
gems, the great mass OF them who are merely
taxpayers are quite determined to have tho
laws enforced as are the citizens OF Tulsa.
In either event there is moro stain on the
state, much moro, And the governor should
let his stain remover az work.
And It is significant too, that at the time Of

briefly stated the high points In that platform
are;
Opposition TO tho league OF nations
Scathng condemnation Of democratic
extravagance in the conduct OF government
both IN state and nation and q pledge OF

duction in number Of offices,
Condemns the corporation commission for

Specific and forceful opposition to the
road bond issue to which the govern
or has pledged himself and party as be-
ing put forward notn good faith, but for
the purpose OF creating a sluch fund to be
parccled out to the friends OF an extraya-
giant administration.
Opposition to highly centralized high
way department as proposed by the govern
or, and a pledge that such department will
be placed under control Of the people.
Condemnation OF tho misuse of tho par
doning power, that renders futile the en-
forccment Of the criminal laws OF the state
and invites the commission of crime"
sympathy for the aspiration OF the Irish
patriots.
Here platform proposals that show tho
republican party to be In perfect accord with
the sentiments OF Oklahoma citizens Not alone
In accord with their sentiments. but with the
courage to state specifically their needs and to
pledge itself to protect their Just interests.

An investigation of the "chil!aei
steep bars of the Douglas countyl
jail may be made as a result OF TIE
softness Of these bars discovered
when eight of them were cut Off
cleanly in 4 few hours by several
prisoners who attempted escape LAST
Saturday night. \
"One of the workmen who helped
put in the jail equipment told me
yesterday that with a hacksaw he
could make his escape from the Jail
in an hour" Deputy Sheriff Hoye
said yesterday.
The four sawed-off bars, each cut
through in two places as clcanly and
apparently almost as easily as il
they had been wood, are held ins
the county Jail as evidence.
Were going to solder them back
on and they'll be as good as they
were before" said one jailor, half
jestingly.
Deputy Sheriff Foster said he
thinks the outer bars are really
chilled steel. 1t is likely that test
of these will be made, Sheriff Clark
said. ~
When the Jail equipment was III
stalled various tests were made BY
the company that manufactures ii.
At that time the bars could hardly
be nieked with hack saws. deputy
