After the defeat of Mr Goodrich in

Ou the Garver Case
Editor of the Oklahoman:
Will you please allow an ordinary
Oitizen to differ in part to late state-
ments in the Timea-Joarnal sod Ok la
human in relation to Comrade J U
Uarvsr’a aentence to the Kansas state
penitentiary? To the Timaa Journal’s
statement that there "la no denying
ba was criminally careless In the man-
agement of the jail” I with quite a
numbers having full knowledge of the
situation object to the word '‘crim-
inally’ If Comrade Oarver waa care-
less although 1 deny that proposition
the criminal responaiblity rests else
whert than on poor old John Garvar
"Hut ba baa suffered puoiabraent
enough already" says the Timeas
Journal "He baa bean punished suf-
ficiently" comments tba Oklahoma
My opinion of the matter is that an
Innocvnt man when punished at all la
punished too much The heavy work
In the mine referred to by the Oklaho
man it aomewbat Imaginary especially
during the summer months and 1
doubt if a single volunteer could be
found among the underground workers
that desires a change of work on tbe
surface
As a pardon la as necessary for tbe
Innocent aa for the guilty after a con-
viction by an Oklahoma court I hope
there will ba aa little delay aa poaaible
In an effort to secure Comradj Garver
a pardon Old Soldier

salary of tbe officers waa placed at 8100
per month
At the afternoon meeting the con-
stitution of the social democracy
which had been published was form-
ally ratified and adopted Mr Debs
explained at leDgth the aims and pur-
poses of the co-operative common--wealth
A colony should be sent to
Washington from which place he said
an official invitation had been received
After establishing the colony he would
secure control of the politics of the
state and start the co-operative com-
monwealth "The first thing we would
do after getting control" he said
"would be to call a special session of
the legislature Then we would call a
convention to revise the constitution
and get all the rot out of it We will
have control of the taxing power and
run tax syndicates and land sharks out
of the state I'ersons shall be taxed
according to ntheir means and ahalL
have according to their needs W
will have trusts nothing but trusts in
oar state but we will all be In
the trust The operatives will nob
work 13 or 14 hones a day but four or
five These men who represent the
new life are going to unite as if byi
magic for the overthrow of commercials
ism in the establishment of the co-
operative commonwealth by which
the brotherhood of man will become
a fact I do not know whether this
question will be solved peaceably or
otherwise I hope peaceably Rut
I am one of those-who believe In get-
ting ready for any solution that may
be necessary" Mr Deba said in that
setting up the co-operative common-
wealth In Washington the colonists
might be running up against the su-
preme court lie would consul good
lawyers and learn just what the tghts
of tbe colonists ware "We wat to
know our rights” he said "and make
them the rebels If they send the mil-
itary to invade our rights then there
will be an army of 800000 patriots on
the state line to meet them on that
laane”

New York June 23 — Thirteen col-
ored persons who formed a part of the
200 sent to Liberia by the International
Emigration society in March 1896 ar-
rived In this portgreaterday aboard the
ship Liberia They say that the
scheme has been a total failure that
many of their number died of starva-
tion and fevers 'that the society did
not fulfill the contract and many mem-
bers of the expeddtion are stranded in
England nnable'to get back to their
hoinea The plan of the African colo-
nization scheme originated largely in
1894 in the mind of Bishop Turner
who was traveling in the Bouth and
was carried into effect by Gere
McMillan a white man of Birming-
ham Ala who founded what waa
known as the "International Emigra-
tion society" The advance guard In
charge of I) I Johnson of Hot Springs
Ark In November 1S94 started for
Liberia With him waa a committee
to make arrangements for the colonists
The first large party of colonists num-
bering 200 left Savannah Ga in
March 1895 for their new home and
after that severni smaller parties
joined them Twenty-five acres of land
for each adult and ten acres for each
child were promised and on landing
each person was to be provided with a
barrel of flour two barrels of meat a
quantity of sugar and acomplete set of
farming Implements D K Flammer
president of the society accompanied
the emigrants According to the atories
told by those who have returned when
they landed in Liberia Flammer de-
serted them taking whatever was pro-
vided for them except the land which
they found 35 miles from any town
and which waa incapable of growing
anything but coffee Even to grow
thia successfully would take four to six
years Charles I'eterson of Madison
Ark with his wife end family is
among those who returned yesterday
He says that he lost all he had in go-
ing over and was nearly dead of star-
vation before he could raise enough
money to return Charles Moore
whose family lives in Mississippi said
the emigrants could find nothing to do
The natives who wore no clothe and
could live on little or nothing did all
the work for starvation wages
