public. This committee of business
men called upon different city ofti -ials
and secured such information as war-
ranted them in recommending in their
report that two expert accountants be
employed to audit the city books and
report. This was right and proper.
Tho committee cast no reflection up-
on any official, it made no insinuation.
It simply asked for information that
should be in hands of every citizen of
Lawton at an? and all times.

future advancement of the new com-
monwealth expect to exert an influence
that will last in the building of the
state they must get busy and see that
men are put out for the Constitutional
convention who can be depended upon
to stand firm for the people against
the special interests that will attempt
to dominate the convention.
The new state of Oklahoma should
have the best constitution of any state
in the Union. It has the opportunity
to adopt the best there is in all other
constitutions and to incorporate such
pew measures as have proven bene-
ficial to the people of other countries
of the world.
Every candidate who offers himBelf
for the Constitutional convention
should stand for something and should
have no hesitancy in letting the people
know where be stands. But behind it
all there should be the man. Unless
he is dependable anything that he may
advocate should have very little weight
with the people. The politicians are
quick to Mrasp the trend of public
opinion and the self seeking ones are
always ready to ride popular waves.
In the forthcoming campaign you may
lookout for grafters denouncing graft.
Keep your eye peeled for the man who
tfiU run in the interest of the railroads
nd corporations, denouncing his em-
ployers. There will be men in the
race who are willing to declare for all
VUings, be for all or any thing in order
to win The only safe plan fO' ti>
people is to select men who are kuow.i
quantities of known character. Ability
is important but character is more so.
First of all the Constitution wants
ip see men selected from Comanche
county who are men from the tops of
their heads to the soles of their feet.
They should be democrats—progressive
democrats whose hearts are in sym^
patliy with the principles advocated by
the parties gn at leader, Wm. J. Bryan.
When these kind of men are selected
their constituents will be assured that
they will work for the interests of the
people and frame a constitution that
«ill protect them against the railroads,
trusts and monopolies. The funda-
mental principle of democracy should
be the foundation of that constitution.
It should contain a provision for the
initiative and referendum and the re-
call, leaving all power in the hands of
the people. How many times in the
history of the territory would obnox-
ious laws have been repealed and
whloesome ones enacted had the peo-
ple reserved to themselves the right to
initiaw or reject new laws? How
many times would incapable, corrupt
and vicious officials be thrown down
and sat upon if the voters who gave
them their commission had the power
to take it away when they violated
their trust?
Their request for information can not
be answered by repeating harsh words.
The information the Chamber of Com-
merce is in quest of is the same sort
that every intelligent citizen of Law-
ton would like to be in possession of.
The best answer the mayor and coun-
cil can make is a complete report of
every dollar of the receipts and ex-
penditures during the present ad
ministration.
Mayor Jones tells us that everything
is alright and the people have not lost
confidence in the mayors integrity.
But it would be so much better if the
mayors friends were in possession of
facts and figures with which to defend
his administration in the presence of
inquiring minds. The Constitution
is of the opinion that the mayor will
take the people as well as the heads of
city departments into his confidence
and that the report will be forth
coming.

fants of the Kiowa, Comanche and

THAT THE PEOPLE MAY
KNOW.
A controversy has arisen between
the Chamber of Commerce and the
Mayor and Council that promises very
little profit to the citizens and property
owner) unless more gentlemanly and
intelligent methods are persued.
The Chamber of Commerce wanted
to know something of the financial
condition of the city and of the method

Improvement Association.
There was a full meeting of the exec-
utive committee of the Lawton Im.
provement Association at the rooms of
the Chamber of Commerce last night.
The committee organized for the cam-
paign with J. M. Powers as chairman
and W. H Hornaday as secretary. A
full discussion of all the requirements
of the city during the next four months
and the methods of promptly meeting
the situation was had and several im-
portant, timely and practical sugges-
tions will be presented Thursday night
at a joint meeting of this and the
finance committee.
This meeting was not only harmoni-
ous but was very enthusiastic, and it
was the unanimous sentiment that
many of our business men and citizens
do not yet fully realize the extent of
the demand which will soon be made
on Lawton and her people on account
of the opening of the pasturo lands. It
was decided that another public meet-
ing must be held at an early date. In
the mean time some of the most neces-
sary methods of advertising and pub-
licity will be employed as there are
thousands of inquiries every day which
must be answered.
The executive committee will hold
reguiai1 tt'66kly l^ti called meetings
between times.
Beginning July 16 the fifth annual
normal institute of the Comanche
County teachers will be held in Law-
ton. It will be conducted in the new
brick school building and will last four
weeks. The last two days, August 9
and 10 will be taken up in the exam-
ination.
8. M, liarrett, superintendent of the
Lawton school will be the conductor of
the institute. He will teach history,
physics and methods. Guy C. Bohan-
nan, teacher of sciences of the South-
western Norma) at Weatherford and
W. C. Jamleson, of the Central Normal
at Edmond, a teacher of langauges,
will act as instructors. E. B. Nelson,
county superintendent, will have
supervision over the normal.
Last year 185 teachers attended.
This year it is expected t hat more than
200 will attend. The demand for good
teachers increases each year In Co-
manche county. It is thought that the
lessees in the big pasture will demand
that they be given schooU this year.
The normal will begin at 7:30 each
morning and be dismissed at 12 noon. n. y. cotton.

Presbyterian Social.
All who attended the Christian En-
deavor social last evening report hav-
ing a most enioyable time. A short
well rendered program was the princi-
pal feature. Sava Day headed the
same with a march which was very
good. Mr. White then sang "Septem-
ber" that good old ballad suited to his
artistic temperament; hewaBin excel-
lent voice and sang in a most pleasing
manner. Miss Furr favored the audi-
tors with a reading which though deep
brought merited applause.
After which Mrs. White, who is a
musician in every sense of the word,
rendered beautifully a piano boio that
delighted her hearers.
The reading of Sava Day showed
marked talent along the lines of char-
acter study. Her selection was thor-
oughly enjoyed by all.
The last number on the program was
given by Miss Hough. Words in the
writer's vocabulary are inadequate to
properly analyzi Miss Hough's voice,
but if in suffice to say she is certainly
a "finished" singer.
All due thanks should be extended
to the genial hostess. Mrs. Day, who
put forth untiring efforts to make the
affair a success both socially and
financially.

Story Not Verified.
The last few days the Constitution
has been asked for the facts regarding
Fort Sill being made a brigade post.
A telephone to the headquarters at
Fort Sill yesterday making inquiry
brought back the informatioi that
nothing had been done along *nat line
and that the stories circulated were
all hot air.
Lawton citizens are confident that Ft
Sill will ultimately be a regimental or
brigade post but up to the present the
authorities at Port Sill have received
no word of the enlargement.

Soldiers Will Remain.
To be deprived of the privilege of
attending the full maneuvers at Fort
Riley is what the soldiers garrisoning
Kort Sill expect. This is to be brought
about by an order of the war depart-
ment detailing troops L, K, M and N
of the 13th cavalry to remain at Fort
Sill.
The war department is of the opinion
that the soldiers will be needed at Kort
Sill during the opening to settlement of
the pasture reserve. While everything
is expected to be kept within the bounds
of the law by the city and county of-
ficers, yet the sale is to be carried out
under the roles of the Interior depart-
ment and the war department will be
at their service.
This will bea good thing forour city
in that it will cause Fort Sill cot to be
abandoned during the summer. A sol-
dier from the poBt this morning said
that a telegram had been received at
the Fort ordering the troops to remain
at Fort Sill during the fall.
The citizens of the city do not antic-
ipate that there will be any trouble
here cauBed by the opening of the pas-
ture, yet they are more than willing
that the troops should remain and
spend their money in Lawton.
Soldiers Will Celebrate.
July 4 is to be celebrated in a most
entertaining way at Fort Sill by the
officers and privates. Lieutenant
Hensley, of the 13th cavalry, is arrang-
ing the details for the celebration.
Among the contests for prizes are horse
races, Roman races, foot races, tug of
war, relay races and trick riding and
jumping. These and other exercises
will take up the greatei part of the day.
The Fort Sill target range is to be
enlarged at once in order to make ar-
rangements for the coming ot the
officers from the Southwestern division
for target practice during the summer.

From Tuesday's Dally Constitution.
Soldiers from Fort Sill are in the city
today in search of an officer and a pri-
vate who have remained away from the
post over their time. Sergeant Right,
of K troop, left the post Saturday and
has not returned. The other, Private
Speers of the same troop, left the post
last evening. Under a new ruling of
the war department any soldier who
remains away from the post one
hour more than his leave of absence
calls for may be tried on the charge of
desertion.
