Guthrie persons who saw James Thorpe, the world a
greatest all around athlete 1 nt'.i.j city talk with friends
a few days with the simplicity of one who had no cele-
brity, will be surprised on hearing that he has to give
up *11 his trophies because he once played profes-
sional baseball. The telegraph lines are full of him,
am) the world's voice is for him.
It is a technical rule for the first time drawn to such
a «ne point. The general opinion is that he is being
punished—for the jealous rivals because he was hon-
est. The moment the inquiry started whether he had
ever played a game of base hall for a salary started he
wrote a letter saying he did, some three years ago one
lone summer.
THE BREAD THROWS ON THE WATERS
That is a fine tribute to a man's single character-
istic of open-heartedness for the down and out, paid J.
B Dickinson a Tulsa newspaper man, who has corre-
ctively gotten into trouble in Texas an dbeen sen-
tenced to two years to the penitentiary. The charge is
that Dickinson was connected with some concern that
gold fraudulent stocks and the whole city of Tulsa,
and all men and women who knew him wherever he has
lived, declare that he may have many faults but the
fault of deelring money had enough to^get it fraudu-
lently, never.
Never was be known to have a penny that another
—no matter how humble—in worse distress, could

stands in the way ot the state economies the people de-
mand. .Most of the present state charges of rotten-
ness, true or untrue, is do to the fact that the state s
business is being transacted in a city of financial dis-
tress.
Business in Oklahoma City has to stand aside for
politics. All the schemers that prey on the state of-
fices of necessity live in Oklahoma City and aare
charged to it by the people ol the state. Is it anj
wonder that the city is in fearful private stress? Here
is the schedule the Tulsa World makes of it in one
editorial:
"THE ACCUSED.
"The governor of the state for conniving at the let-
ting of the sand and gravel contracts and the giving
away of the school lands to favorites.
The attorney general who is charged with padding
expense accounts and spending his time at banquets
when he should be in his office.
The state auditor who is charged with embezzling
money which should have gone to a stenographer.
The state printer who is charged with forging war-
rants.
The school board, which, is charged with making
contracts with the book trust for a consideration.
The warden of the penitentiary who is charged with
buying inferior stuff at first class prices.
The board of affairs who is charged with letting
contracts for material for profit.
The mine inspector who is charged with neglect and
incompetency.
The state game warden who is charged with ap-
pointing too many deputies and with the misuse of the
lunds.
The secretary of the election board who is charged
with perverting the returns.
Isn't that a record for a great state. Isn't it a rec-
ord which should make every citizen of this state bow
his head in shame. Isn't it a record of misery and
profligacy, of extravagance, to use no harser words?
And what are the people, the people who vote and
pay taxes, going to do about it?
THOSE T1TI.ES CLEAR
According to Governor ("race's message to the legisla-
ture the L'OO defects In the title to the proposed "capital"
lands have not yet been corrected. The Oklahoman
pays:
"It was stRted by the citizens' capitol committee
Monday night that the defects will be corrected im-
mediately and the title perfected so as to be absolutely
free from objection."
Question: If these 200 defects have not been clear-
ed in the two years Oklahoma City has held out the of-
fer to the State, how can they be In the next thirty
days, before the legislature adjourns ?
1 DOES V MAN CHANGE!
Joseph Klrwin, life prisoner in the I,eavenwoKh,
Kansas, federal penitentiary for robbing a woman
under physical violence, which under the law was con-
strued as piracy, has served eight years and asks free-
dom under the claim that he is how not the same man
he was when he went in.
He was a street Arab ol the worst type, born in the
gutters of Toledo, Ohio and his life was a succession of
crimes until he landed for life in the Federal peni-
tentiary Since then he has educated himself, gradu-
ated in a correspondence course in engineering as well
as the university course in literature, science and phil-
osophy, and the penitentiary officials say he is today a
"cultured, educated, refined and a model prisoner.
On the theory that the very tissue of man changes
every eight years, he declares he is today another man
than the one sentenced for life eight years ago, and
asks that this new man be liberated to do hereafter
JuBt as much good as a member of society as the other
did harm.
Should he not be given an opportunity to exercise
his new life of good with his fellow man?
Because there Is no law for pardon on the charge of
"piracy" a special act of congress is necessary to lib-
erate him.
Gen Sickles is having as warlike times in New
York as when he lost his leg in the "late unpleasent-
ness."
GOOD SENSE FOR OKLAHOMA ( lit.
And so Oklahoma City merchants have come to the
conclusion that they will not "put up another cent for
rents for state departments; that if the state does not
pay rent for its offices, then put them out."
That is good sense on the part of the Oklahoma
City business men. They are losing popularity in their

Scripts-McRae.
The fine work of getting rid of unfit judges is pro-
ceeding hopefully in America. But—>-and it is a a big
but—we are not doing very much to establish sources
of a better crop.
What will it profit a people to oust a backward-
minded or class-biased judge if there isnt a supply of
better material with which to replace him?
The medical schools are turning out doctors with a
passion for social service; doctors who are so keen to
help to prevent diseases that they are actually working
themselves out of fees. Even the theological schools
are graduating young men for the ministry Who think
a great deal more of the rights of humanity than of the
way to get fat livings by cultivating tile rich.
But where is the American law school which makes
protection of human rights its chief, objective; which
trains its pupils to face with sympathy* and iusight the
new deeds of our industrial civilization?
Must we go to imperial Germany for a lesson? In
one of the German states there was at the head of a
school of law a man with an unusunh vision, instead
of keeping his pupils in the class room to dig anad doze
among musty books, he sent them out, during the later
months of their schooling, into the factories and work-
shops, to mingle with the workers and to study at
first hand the operation of Germany's social and in-
dustrial legislation.
There they leiirned what law books couldn't teach.
They learned the human problems of industry; the new
facts in a changing ortler which call for the refash-
ioning of legal concepts. ,
it wasn't long before these young men were writ-
ing reports on factory laws and regulation reports
full of meaty and merciful suggestions. Skilled ex-
perts backed by plenty of money had taken care to
present ably the employers' side before the makers and
intepreters of the laws. These young men tooV it upon
themselves to learn and to present, not as partisans
but because they believed in justice, the largely un-
represented side of the workers.
II.came to pass that the makers ol' judges in Ger-
many were impressed by the novelty and v tlut of this
field work of these modern-minded law students. And
it wasn't long before the investigators were oeing nam-
ed for positions on the bench. Thus, without planning
but quite as a matter of natural evolution, what had
begun as a school for the training of lawyers changed
over into a school for the training of judges.
As he sentenced his 3000th man to al term in the

Promises of "Free" Rent Accepted
for What They're Worth.
Oklahoma City, Jan. 25.—Oklahoma
City people have practically givne up
all hope of getting an appropriation
for a state capitol building at the
present session of the legislature,
but will endeavor to soalt the state
as heavily as possible for rent on the
offices here which are occupied by
state officials, regardless of the prom-
ises of "free rent" made when the
capital was located here.
A report made by the state board
of affairs in response to a request
fromthe senate several days ago for
information as to how much rent is
due from state offices, shows that up
to July 1 1913, for the two and
half years since the capital was
brought to Oklahoma City, there will
be due the grand total of $88,824.10.
Of this amount the citi/ens commit-
tee of Okjahoma City has paid $15,-
404.50. which will leave $72,211.30
due up to July.
It is admitted by members of the
committee that the citizens here
have no intention whatever of pay-
ing any more rents for the state.
"Throw them out in the street if
they won't make any appropriation
to pay rent," was the suggestion of-
fered by one prominent Oklahoma
City business man in discussing the
situation, not, however, with mem-
bers of the legislature.
It is understood that a bill has
already been drawn to cover the
$72,211.30 still due as a deficiency
appropriation. It is certain that at
least as much or more will be asked
for the next two years, as the state
officers have been continually ex-
tending their quarters and are oc-
cupying very much more space than
they did just after the removal when
the rent first began. It is therefore
certain that if the Oklahoma City
people have their way the state
would be required to pay out more
than $170,000 for rentals which were
promised absolutely free, as compar-
ed with tho nominal rental of $50
per year paid for the offices occupied
in Guthrie before the removal.
