Ihis from Capper’s Weekly it plain truth:
“The profiteer is America’s “red” He i doing more to promote
anreA and anarchy in these United States than are the I W ’ anci
all the Bolscbevists in Europ He d ies the very thing he so piously
nd anctimoniou!y condemns in the Communist and the Syndicalist
Us confiscates propertr He attacks property rights He seizes and
ppm rii?es what is not his He undermines faith in government
rmfid-nce in aid re-pect for law and so undermines government itself
1 lie American food profiteer a-sa-inates whole families hy under-
lining th- health of children an I babes and the health and efficiency
id t eir fathers and moth-rs He deprives them rf the nectary cle-
ment or quantity or variety of nutririou needed to repair bodily wa-t
T l promote growth or to fortify tlin against the attacks of dis-ao ”

Jef ferson Highway
May be Changed
Caddo Herald
A mteting of the directors of
Jefferson Highway will be held
Monday April 3Jth to decide
about the route of the Jefferson
highway which now runs north
and south through eastern Okla-
homa Arkansas is bidding for
such designation of route anc
Oklahoma will have to do her
part or lose it
Certain expenses aae incurred
in keeping ud a highway and
Oklahoma has fallen down on
paying her shrre the last year
and unless this is done the route
will be taken where the people
appreciate it enough to pay for
it
A few live spirits like W F
Dodd the president have se-
cured this road for Wklahoma
and kept it here for this long
but they cannot do it alone all
the time They must have help
rnd lots of it We understand
Mr Dodd is still willing to do his
part and more but that the
towns through which this high-
way runs must do their part or
lose the designation letting it
go to Arkansas
Of course that does not mean
that we lose the road The road
Is built and built permanently
but it means that we shall lose
the national advertising and the
national travel that comes north
and south through the Highway
that such travel will go through
Arkansas

Executive Clemency
From Coatgate Courier
A news item appearing in the
Daily Oklahoman of recent date!
stated that Hickman Willis an In
i ’ I'evxi S’f’ll CorroHimmi'ot :
" “ ' venr y T fj M
entence in the p-nilentiary for tlie 1 r ‘ '
i r I- iMted friends in Coleman Sun
murder of his grandmother had
been pardoned by (Jov Walton af-
ter having served nine years of his
sentence
It is stated that the county judge
county attorney and sheriff of the
county in which Willis was tried
had recommended the pardon and
that Gov W II Harrison of the
Choctaws and Gov I) II John-
son tf the Chickasaw s had also
recommended executive clemency
A pertinent question arises as to
county officers should seek
to have undone that which they
had a hand in doing Do they
min to say that thi Indian
was
not given justice? Does the county
attorney intimate that he made
imch a strong case against W illis
and so moulded the judgment cf the
juaors that they could nt help but
give him an extreme sentence?
Does the jmlg leave us to infer
that his instructions to the jury
were such that they feit impelled
to render a revere judgment? Or
did the judge pass sentence on this
man and then later repent of his
severity?
What about tlie jurors? Did they
repent and ask clemency for their
convict? The article does not so
state This jury was no doubt
made up of substantial 1 citizens of
goon judgment os they should have
been in a murder trial They no
doubt quit their businesi and con-
tributed of their time to help carry
on the affairs of state Did they
err in their judgment? We are
not so informed
Notice the crime for which Wil
li was convicted lie murdered
his grandmother an old lady by
cutting hr r head from her body
with an axe It was also alleged
that he had at another time killed
an Indian by cutting him to pieces
with a knife
Wouldn’t the fact that executive
clemency was sought by the trial
officers for a convict in a murder
of £uh degree as this indicate that
a very grave error had been com-
mitted? Wouldn't such an ad-
mission stand as an indictment of
the tendency of our court procedure
nowadays to allow technicalities to
outweigl) facts?
The naticle states that Gov Har-
rison of the Choctaws and Gov
Johnston of the Chickasaw asked
clemency for Willis V hat do they
know about the cae?
It is a strange turn in human
nature that will cause the lest of
citizens to endorse any kind of a
petition that is handed to them
Now as a climax to the above
news item and one that mukes the
whole affair unsavory is the state-
ment that Willis is rich and hai
large oil holdings in Carter county
That he had $1500000 00 on de-
posit with the government The
public would like to know what the
fact that Willis is rich haJ to do
with his being pardoned It would
seem that that part of the news
item would have been beeter strick-
en from the record for the fact that
he is rich is no recommendation for
his pardon Neither does it add
prestige to those having anything
to do with his pardon-
