AN INNOVATION
Charging that juries are becont-
ing too soft-hearted and too prone
to overlook ‘the fact that a man has
been killed, the prosecuting attor-
ney at Tulsa announces that at the
next murder trial the corpse of the
victim would be brought into the
court ropm as a silent witness. "The
defendant during the trial is sur-
rounded by friend# and members of
hi* family.” the prosecuting attor-
ney says, “and juries are becoming
soft-hearted %nd forgetting the vic-
tim. Any reference to tip dyad man
is promptly objected to by the de-
fense counsel on the ground that it
is prejudicial. This time, however, I
am going, to produce the dead man

CHURCH AND NEWS
Wheeler New*-Re view: The News-
Review is anxious to receive full and
complete reports on all the activities
of the various churches of Wheeler.
Much news items are usually more or
less items of publicity for the
churches, and the editor feels that,
in view of that fact, such items
should be reported to the office in-
stead of waiting for the editor to
eh##* them down.
Church news is important news,
becauso most or many people of ev-
ery good community affiliate with
churches. But the Wheeler contem-
porary may have to hustle for its
churcht new* if it get* much. It can
not depend on the pastors or the
deacons or the steward* or the ves-
trymen or even foe Sunday school
superintendent fo hring jhe nows to
the office. And, if fo#y, might be
depended on to bring it, they
couldn’t be depended on to bring it
more than fifteen minutes before
pres* time. Strangest tiling in the
world how promptly the preucher
will appear In his pulpit a*, the ser-
vice hour, and how dilatory he will
be in taking his church notices tb
the printing office. He will start
and stop his service on schedule
time, but seems only dimly con-
scious that foe newspaper has its
own schedule to be followed. The
newspaper must, go to press at a
certain minute or hour In order to
meet the mails, or meet some other
exigency, yet the number of gpod
peopte, some of whom are good cua-
temer*. who imagine foe <vRole
works will hold back to insure inser-
tion of their itema runs into astron-
omical figure*. These reflections arc
what makes this column remind the
Wheeler brother that if he prints
much church news he must accom
modate himself to the custom of go-
ing and getting it It may be added,
in all humility, tiiat even though nil
Use churches appreciate advertising,
many of. them want it shelled.

After our organisation we began
work at once investigating differ-
ent criminal violations of the law in
our county, end have workod ear?
neatly, for 27 days. As a result of
our work w# have returned 41 true
hSls of felony indictments, as fol-
lows: Murder 2, burglary 2, false
swearing 0, disposing of mortgag-
ed property 2, assault to murder 1,
sale of intoxicating liquors 1, man-
ufacture intoxicating liquors —, pos-
session of intoxicating liquors 9,
transporting Intoxicating liquors 4,
driving automobile while intoxicat-
ed 14, bigamy 2, theft 8, forgery 1.
In addition to the above named
feleny indictments returned, we
have developed end sent to the
County Court and the various jus-
tice courts of our county quite a
number of misdemeanor cases. Dur-
ing our work we have bad ■ before u*
and interrogated 464 witnesses.
As is Indicated by the number of
felony bills of indictments returned
by the present grand jury as com-
pared with numbers returned by
former grand juries of recent years,
1t is evident that crime in the mein
is on the decrease. There seems,
however, to exist in the minds of a
large number of people of our coun-
ty the idea that the manufacture of
beer or “borne brew,” for home con-
sumption does not constitute a vio-
lation of the law; this ides or im-
pression is false, our law providing:
‘It shall be unlawful for any person
to manufacture any spirituous, vin-
ous or malt liquors, or medicated
bitter* or any portable liquor, mix-
ture or preparation containing in ex-
cess of one per cent of alcohol by
colutue. or the furnishing or sale of
any supplies, materiel or other thing
for the manufacture of such intox-
icate or beverages,” and prescribing
the punishment for such violation
at confinement ip the. penitentiary
for a, period of not less then one
your and not more than five.
We find that a proper enforce-
ment of the above mentioned law,
necessitates the purchasing of ap-
paratus to analyse low percentage
alcoholic beverages, and recommend
the Commissioners Court of
opkina county moke such a pur
chase immediately.
We have visited the county jail
and find a roomy, well constructed
building, raodV'ly equipped and
supplying a need of some several
years;*it is our desire at foie point
to commend the Commissioner*
Court upon the construction and
equipment of this building, and -to
compliment Mf. Smith for the man-
ner in which it. i* kept.
We wish to thank the officer*
who have assiotod u* in our labor*.
In conclusion, let us suggest that
we all co-operate more closely with
our officers in their efforts to en-
force the law.
We beg leave to submit this re-
port and ask that your Honor dis-
charge us.

that the army’s strength of approx-
imately 118,000 enlisted men will
not be cut by the figure at whioh it
’is hoped to hold war department ex:
penditures for purely military pur-
poses. The same goes for the navy.
Mr. Ooolidge was plainly out of
patience with the situation and his
spokesman did not. attempt to hide
the fact. The White. House, once for
nil. wished to be put on record as
favoring adequate appropriations to
maintain the country's defense
force*.
Apparently foe reports which
have reached the president’s ear*
gained circulation as the, result of
the rivalry in both army and navy
between the qldtHne branches of the
service and the air forces. There has
bqen «n attempt to show that the
administration and congress as well,
actuated by last winter’s, clamor
over aviation, would carry out the
air program to the detriment of the
other branches. Rgcent develop
menu recalled tin* vigorous fight
made two years ago by the late John
W. Weeks, then secretary of war, to
prevent a further reduction in the
army. Secretary Weak* virtually
convinced the president at that time
that the army must ha maintained
at its present strength and Mr.
Ooolidge accepted the situation as a
fact not to be disputed further.
The presidential warning was
meant also for congress. Recent in-
crease in public buildings and rivers
and harbor appropriation, together
with indications that more will be
considered at thq short session, have
shown Mr. Ooolidge that there can
be no lee up in his vigilance in the
matter of expenditure*.
