Innocent Man
Will be Freed
The new trial of Al Harpster, a
brother of Mrs.T. F. McKennon,
of Guthrie, for the murder of
Martin Julian, a Ponca City bar-
tender two years ago, for which
Harpster was convicted and sen-
tenced to life imprisonment last
April, secured on the confession
of another man is the most sensa-
tional of the three murder trials
to be heard at the term of court
beginning there Monday. Fol-
lowing a series of sensational inci-
dents, Bvron Cole, who formerly
lived there, confessed last June
that he was the murderer of Mar-
tin Julian.
Harpster has lost a large
amount of money defending him-
self, and has already served a year
n prison for the crime which an-
other man has confessed commit-
ting. Soon after Cole's confession
an effort was made to secure a
pardon, desiring a vindication in
the court that convicted him. An
application was made to Judge
Hainer for a new trial and was
granted.
The conviction of Harpster was
brought about by circumstantial
evidence which seemed to be
strong enough to warrant a life
sentence.
Julian, who was a bartender at
the Pabst Palace saloon, at Ponca
City, was shot and killed on the
night of June 24, while out driv-
ing with Delia Lewis, of Arkansas
City. Harpster, who was also a
bartender in the same town, start-
ed out at about the same time for
a drive with Nellie Edwards, also
of Arkansas City, and drove in
the same direction taken by Ju-
ien and his companion. Shortly
after 10 o'clock a man, who could
not be identified on account of
the darkness, stepped from the
side of the road and ordered Ju-
lian to stop his horse, and not
waiting for hitn to comply, placed I
his pistol against Julian's shoul-
der and fired. The ball passed
through Julian's body. The girl
drove to town with the wounded
man, who died shortly afterward
without making any statement as
to who did the killing-.
The girl could not identify Ju-
lian's slayer. Harpster was ar-
rested shortly after the killing on
suspicion that he had killed Julian
because of jealousy because the
latter was keeping company with
Delia Lewis.
The size of Harpster's foot was
found to be the same as that of
footprints found near the scene
of killing and other evidence was
introduced which satisfied the
jury that a murder verdict was
justifiable.
At the time the crime was com-
mitted a family by the name of
Ward lived in Pone 1 City. Mrs.
Ward by her first husband had a
son, Byron Cole. The day after
the murder Cole left, but the offi-
cers suspected nothing.
He returned in a few weeks and
the Ward family moved to Gar-
field county. Cole was charged
with having immoral relations
with his half sister, May Ward,
and fled, forcing the girl to go
with him. The Garfield county
officers were notified, and a posse
led by Deputy Sheriff Campbell,
of Woods countv, and Deputy
Sheriff Burwell, of Garfield coun-
ty, overtook Ward in a wheat
field. The officers had been
warned by Mrs. Ward that her
son was a dangerous character
and that he had shot a man at
Ponca City. When close pressed
by the posse Ward, who was a
giant in stature, turned on his
pursuers and single handed tried
to stand them off. He soon fell
pierced by three bullets.
In the wheat field he confessed
that he was the murderer of Mar-
tin Julian for which Al Harpster
was serving a life sentence in the
penitentiary.
The wounded man was taken to
Enid where he made a more de-
tailed confession before he died.
He said that he needed money
and was out with his gun that
night. He says he wore a slouch
hat belonging to his father. As

MARKEDLY COMBINED PRACTICAL CAPACITY
FOR AFFAIRS WITH POWER OF DEVOTION' TO
AN IDEAL. The lack of either quality would have rendered
the possession of tho other of small value. Mere ability to nehieve
success in things concerning the body would not have atoned for the
failure to live the life of high endeavor, and, on the other hand, w.t.i-
out a foundation of those qualities which bring material prosperity
there would be nothing 011 which the higher life could be built.
THE MEN OF THE REVOLUTION WOULD HAVE FAILED
THEY HAD NOT POSSESSED ALIKE DEVOTION TO LIBERTY
ABILITY (ONCE LI3ERTY HAD BEEN ACHIEVED) TO S
MON SENSE AND SELF RESTRAINT IN ITS USE.
The men of the threat civil war would have failed had they not
possessed the business capacity which developed and organized these
resources in addition t> the stem resolution to expend these resources
as freely as they expended their blood in furtherance of the great
cause for which their hearts leaped.
It is this combination of qualities that has made our people suc-
ceed. Other peoples have been as devoted to liberty, and yet, because
of lack of hard headed common sense and of ability to show restraint
and subordinate individual passions for the general good, have failed
so signally in the struggle of life as to become a byword among the
nations. Yet other peoples, again, have possessed all possiblo thrift
and business capacity, but have bepn trampled underfoot cr have
plavod a sordid and ignoble part in the world BECAUSE THEIR
BUSINESS CAPACITY WAS UNACCOMPANIED BY ANY

A GREAT AND GENEROUS NATION. The stern but just
rule of judgment for humanity is that each nation shall be known by
its fruits, and if there are no fruits, if the nation has failed, it matters
but little whether it has failed through meanness of soul or through
lack of robustness of character. Wo must judge a nation by the net
result of its life and activity. And so wc must judge the policies of
those who at any time control the destinies of a nation.
THERE WAS NO PATENT DEVICE FOR SECURING VICTORY BY
FORCE OF ARMS FORTY YEARS AGO, AND THERE IS NO PATENT
DEVICE FOR SECURING VICTORY FOR THE FORCES OF RIGHT-
EOUSNESS IN CIVIL LIFE NOW. IN EACH CASE THE ALL IM-
PORTANT FACTOR WAS AND IS THE CHARACTER OF THE IN-
DIVIDUAL MAN.
There are very different kinds of success. THERE IS THE
SUCCESS WHICH BRINGS WITH IT THE SEARED SOI L—
THE SUCCESS WHICH IS ACHIEVED BY WOLFISH GREED
AND VULPINE CUNNING—THE SUCCESS WHICH MAKKS
HONEST MEN UNEASY OR INDIGNANT IN ITS PRES-
ENCE. Then there is the other kind of success—the success which
comes as tho reward of keen insight, of sagacity, of resolution, of
address, combined with unflinching rectitude of behavior, public and
private. The first kind of success may in a sense—and a poor scn-o
at that—benefit the individual, but it is always and necessarily a curse
to the community, whereas the man who wins the second kind as an
incident of its winning becomes a beneficiary to the whole common-

he is a large man he tallies with
the description given by the girl
who accompanied Julian.
According to cole's confession
he had no intention of commit-
ting murder when he stopped Ju-
lian. He says that Julian made a
motion as if to draw his gun, and
that he (Cole) then fired and
fled.
Cole's mother and stepfather
confirmed his story.
Another murder trial is that of
Woodston Norris, charged with
the murder of Finis Cassidy.
Norris shot and killed W. P. Cas-
sidy and his son, Finis, who were
tenants on his farrv. He claimed
self defense in the trial for killing
VV. P. Cassidy and was acquitted.
George Shelby, charged with
killing John Porter, is also on the
docket for trial.

he found it expedient for a time
not to make any stump speeches
to his associates, all of them
Southern democrats, and holding
a Republican in the utmost con-
tempt.
The day came, however, when
Wells declared his politics. At
supper one night a cow puncher
began to tirade against Republi-
cans, to which Wells took offense.
The cowboy replied: "Well, Mr.
Republican, if you wasen't so
young, I'd see that you got what's
coming to you." "Dont stand
back for a minute because of my
age," said Wells, drawing a knife
and running to the attack, The
cowboy bolted, and Wells had 110
further trouble on account of his
politics.

Speak Then.
Fred Barde, in the Kansas City
Star: O. A. Wells, secretary of
the Oklahoma Republican state
executive committee, is a Repub-
lican who believes that he has
won his shoulder straps. "You
will understand me more clearly,"
said Wells, with an explanitory
smile, "when I say that I went to
Indian Territory twenty- years
ago, locating in the Choctaw na-
tion, Colbert Statioi, where a re-
publican was as much of a curio-
sity as a giraffe. I have lived in
the Choctaw and Chickasaw na-
tions practically ever since."
Wells was born in Ohio, and
lived in that state untill a young
man. lie was born of Republi-
can parents. When he went to
Choctaw nation he found enploy-
ment on a cattle ranch. Although
Logan County Farmers' Co-opera-
tive Union had a meeting in Guthrie
last Saturday and decided to build two
more cotton gins, at Seward and Lo-
vell. The Guthrie gin has done so well
they are encouraged to build more.
They also intent to p it up an oil mill,
in Guthrie if the best prospects are
given here.
Another meeting will be h«-ld the
first Tuesday in April at which time
the mat;er will be further considered.
The Union is very enthusiastic over its
success. Many attempts at co-opera-
tive industry has been attempted by
farmers before but they were always
destroyed by making them political.
This Union is purely commercial in its
protection.
