BOV CRUCE FAREWELL MESSAGE
v
SUMMARIZES THE CONDITION OF
i STATE’S AFFAIR8
- Particular Stress Laid On Conduct of
the Various Penal' Insti-
- i v
tutlona
T- -
‘ The fact that Oklahoma la now pay-
tng cash on face value for her war-
ranfB which are redeemed on ached
' V vied time and the success of the
parole system adopted at the penal
Institutions arp two things especially
: that Governor Cruce calls attention of
" the legislature In the last message he
delivered to that body
The message made no recommends
tions for legislative action the gover-
V nor desiring to leaf e that to the incom-
lng administration The governor simply
submitted his statement in connection
with the reports of the state institutions
which were made to him to be trans-
r ' tnitted to the legislature
Relative to the financial condition of
the state In which the governor calls es
pedal attention he says:
"Prior to the first day of October 1914
the state treasurer Issued his call for all
outstanding state warrants and gave no-
tice that upon the flrBt day of October
interest would stop on all such warrants'
Since the first day of October the state
has paid no Interest upon its warrant in-
debtedness and beginning with that date
all state warrants Issued for current ex
penses have been paid upon presentation
to the state treasurer
“The warrants issued for the fiscal year
1915 have all been paid as rapidly as
presented to the Btate treasurer and on
the first day of January 1915 there re-
mained In th state treasurer's vinds of
‘ the general revenue fund available for
payment of the expenses Incurred for
the fiscal year ending June 30 1915 the
sum of 329111676 Prior to that date
only $248576 had been collected under
the ad valorem tax levy for the current
fiscal year In view of the fact that one-
half of the fiscal year has passed and
practically none of the fund arising from
The direct tax levy has been covered into
the treasury and all obligations of every
character Incurred since the first of July
for the current year have ben promptly
met the record Is a unique and a re-
markable one"
Paroles and Pardons
During the past two years since the
law creating the board of prison control
went Into effect 485 paroles have been
granted 396 having been granted since
the board took office which was some
time after January 1 1913 Twenty-two
paroles were revoked by the governor
eight were In cases in which paroles had
been granted prior to the existence of
the prison board Of this he says:
“It will thus be seen that of the 485
paroles granted during the past two
rears only 14 have been revoked When
It is remembered that a parole officer
looks after the prisoners’ paroles and by
7 correspondence and other methods keeps
In touch with them this report shows
that the parole system In vogue In Okla-
homa is accomplishing splendid results
4 and that a very small percentage of those
released on parole violate the "terms
thereof This Is the more remarkable
- when It Is considered that In all paroles
granted In this state conditions are Im-
posed which require a strict observance
of the laws of the state”
Executive clemency has been extended
during the past two years as follows:
Commutations of sentence 14 stays ot
execution 13: temporary 13: temporary
paroles 29: extensions of temporary pa-
roles 7 modified paroles paroles and
commutations 20 paroles revoked 22
pardons 2 permanent paroles 485
Girls' Institution
Attention Is called to the Institution
created by the Inst legislature for the
' care of Incorrlblble girls An appropria-
tion of $5000 was made for that Institu-
tion for the fiscal year ending with June-
1914 Only $285093 of that was required
ed the balance reverted to the treasury
The appropriation of $5000 for the fls-
cal year ending with June 1915 will be
Inadequate to run the Institution because
of the Increase In number of inmates
and the attendant Increase in expenses
Of the 35 O00 for tl fiscal year ending
June 30 1915 $592657 had been required
Including December leaving only $107343
for the remaining six months of the fiscal
year which according to the previous six
months will be about enough to conduct
the home one-third of the time or pos-
sihlv two months until a deficiency be
created
Relative to the expenses of maintnln-
Jug th governor’s office It Is stated
that $17100 was appropriated by the leg-
Islature for the office for the fiscal year
June 30 1914 Of this amount
$388550 was unused and reverted back
to the treasury Only $700 was used (ft
the appropriation of $3000 for the appre-
hension of criminals'
In closing the governor admonishes the
members of the legislature not to take
too seriously unjust criticism with which
they may meet In matters of legislation
He says:
“The field you occupy Is one filled with
‘opportunities andTjut a small per cent of
the citizenship of the state can ever have
thrust In their way the privileges that
you enjoy In proportion as you meet
the Issue fulfill the requirements of
your official station and meet the de-
mands of those whose servants you are
will the reward be 1 want you not to
evpect to much of popular acclaim for
the public Is frequently slow to give
voice to Its approval Neither be dis-
couraged by vlwt you feel to be unjust
and severe criticism for those who criti-
cise are too ready to misjudge a mibllo
official and condemn his official acts A
consciousness of duty well performed a
trust fulfilled will be abundant compen-
sation for all the effort you may nut
forth end will In a large measure alle-
viate the pain that comes from the shafts
of criticism undeserved"

Of course when she stopped In front
of the Jeweler’s window he had to
stop too It would hardly have been
polite to walk on and leave her there
”0 see the tray full of lovely dia-
monds rings!" she crowed
"Yes” be admitted
“They’re engagement rings!"
“Sbouldif’t be surprised" he replied
“But come on we’ve seen them now
you know”
"They’re the gorgeousest engage-
ment rings!” Bhe sighed "The dia-
monds look diamond colored now but
when you put them on your finger
they're a bright pink”
“Peruke I hardly believe that” he
rebuked
"They do! They do! Come and I’ll
show you” And she dragged him in-
to the ehop and had the jeweler bring
the rings in out of the window “Now
slip one on my finger and well see”
she flouted and held out the danger
oua finger of her left hand and with
considerable curiosity he slipped a
ring on it
“Sigourd!" she exclaimed happily
“This 1b so sudden!”

NOT SUCH A BAD OLD WORLD
Glimpses of Light Easy to Find Even
to Those Confirmed In
Pesalmlem
It does not require battles to bring
out the finer side of human nature —
the side always nearer to the surface
of the Individual than the cynic Is
willing to admit
In the everyday round we seq fre-
quent exhibitions of It Here Is a
sample sent me by a Philadelphia
business man:
“I was walking with my wife In the
country on the outskirts of Burling-
tou N J last Sunday and we no-
ticed ahead of ub a man leading by
the hand a little boy
"The little boy wore one of those
metal braces running from his hip to
hts foot and the poor little fellow was
hobbling along as beBt he could with
the help of the man As we caught
up with the pair the man stopped and
did something to the brace and then
told us In broken Italian that he
found the ‘kid’ lying In the road cry-
ing and had learned that he wan-
dered from home about a half mile
and while playing he had fallen and
broken his brace
"Then he told us be had ‘flxa d’ flxa’
as best he could and was taking him
home
“Then they started out and the lit-
tle beggar reached up' his little band
to the poor Italian and they started
off together The man said ‘Take it
easy son we got lots o’ time”'
From fields of war to roadsides of
peace the story is the same wWe
the smoke of battle darkens the sun-
set and where the thin stream that
curls upward fronj the home fireside
beribbons the evening sky the heart
of the average person ever Is ready
to respond to the call of human suf-
fering even though It come from one
who an hour before was despised as
an enemy
With all Its faults and shortcom-
ings— which are our faults and short-
comings! — this Is a pretty good world
Prized Relics tor Museum
The collection of Egyptian an-
tiques In Dundee museum has just

Decidedly Quenched
“I wish to see MIbs Bluffbam” said
the young man with brown shoes and
red hair
“She Is not' in sir” answered the
maid with a gllbness that told of long
practice in the ways of deceit
“Are — are you sure?” faltered the
youth nervously twisting a mustache
that only became apparent when at-
tention was thus directed to it
The maid’s eyebrows elevated them-
Belves "Do you doubt her word sir?” she
asked reproachfully
Blushing deeply over his unworthy
thought he turned and went away

"Hello! Just the man I wanted to
