ish further evidence of the city's s
premacy.

Of course tno Oklahoma delegation
was the venter of attVaotlon at the ded-
l<-ation ceremonies in At. Louis. Okl;
homai is the center of attraction for
the whole world at present
Tho petition for a constitutional con-
vention 1b probably ae representative
as the proposed convention would be.
There nro nineteen Oklahoma counties
that have no representation on tho pe-
tition.
Secretary Hitchock has tho wrong
Idoa of 1ho bully west if he thinks ho
can come down Into this country with-
out shaking hands. Oklahoma a-nd In-
dian Territory folks are too sociable to
stand for anything like that.
Tho cold weather is not only hard
on the crops but its bard on the con-
stitution of tho base ball fiend who im-
agines that 1he season is on and at-
tempts to discharge his duty by sitting
in tho bleachers throughout the games.
Secretary Grimes determination to
drive fraudulent get-rich-quick eon-
corns out of Oklahoma Is commendable.
There Is always room for legitimate
business enterprises but tho fellows
who vant something for nothing have
no place here.
Tho president's declaration that the
only j ortion of the Louisiana Pur
chase territory on which the rights of
statehood has not been conferred will
doubtless soon come Into its own. Is
pleading but not nearly so much so as
his signature to au enabling act would
be.
Of the sixty-two Oklahoma signers
on the petition for a constitution con-
vention, forty-two are from three out
of the twenty-six counties. This is
an unmistakable evidence that the con-
vention boosters have their wires
crossed when they talk of a general
dosire that a constitutional convention
be held at this time.
The St. Louis police aro busy hunting
a man who presented thousand dol-
lar bill at a bank window the other
day, Tho man is unknown aud there
Is no real reason to suppose that he
didn't come by the bill in an honest
way hut things have almost come to a
pass In Missouri where thousand dol-
lar bills are not legal tender.
New England democrats announce
that ihey will present tho name of
11 ichard Olney to tho next national con-
vention as a candidate for the presi-
dential nomination. It Is not expect-
ed that Mr. Olney wil greatly lire the
hearts of tho Bryan democrats as in
addition to his well known ant I free
silver ideas he has been known as
natural born ice man.
association asking him to call a meet-
ing for tho purpose of arranging for a
constitutional convention affords the
proof, and In such a way that It can
not he contradicted.
There ore one hundred und twonty-
one signers on this petition, sixty-two
of them belnK from Oklahoma and the
remainder from Indian Territory. Of
the sixty-two Oklahomans who sign-
id the petition, forty-two aro from
three counties that lie for the mo t part
east of the Santa Po railroad track,
and there are nineteen of the twenty
six counties that are not represented
at all to eay nothing of the Osage,
Ponca and other Indian reservations.
Woods county with the largest popu-
lation of any county In the territory
has just two signers on tho petition
and with the exception of liiaine and
Custer counties It Is the only west side
county that is represented at all. Lo-
gan. Noble. Grant, Garfield, Kingfisher,
Canadian, Woodward, Payne. Pawnee,
Comanche, Caddo, Kiowa. Greer, and
a number of other populous counties
are absolutely unrepresented. Nor tan
It bo said that partisan politics Is
playing any part In this as some of the
democratic as well as republican
strongholds show no names on this pe-
tition.
In Indinm Territory the condition Is
almost the same Of the fifty-nine
signers from that territory, thirty-four
of them aro from five towns and there
aro only eleven towns represented in
the petition. Muskogee, Vinita, Okmul-
gee. Bartlesville, Tishomingo and a
score or so of other prominent towns
and titles are not represented at all.
If this sort of a petition represents a
popular and general clamor for a con-
stitutional convention It should no
doubt be called but if, as is appar-
ent, It but represents the dealro of
certain localities to obtain an advan-
tage through the failure of porttons of
Oklahoma) and Indian Territories to
provide themselves with representation
In a body which has no legal respon-
sibility, the movement should be dis-
couraged by every fair minded and rea-
sonable mau.
The gentlemen who are boosting the
constitutional convention Idea made
a canvas for signatures to this petition
and the result of their work shows
clearly that the people of the two ter-
ritories are not interested in a consti-
tutional convention, and what the peo-
ple are not Interested in they will not
take part In. When a constltirt'on Is
adopted for the future state It must
be representative of the people and not
of a locality, and the very fact that the
petition which will be responsible for
the calling of a convention. If one is
called at this time, Is not representa-
tive will go a long way with congress
In refusing consideration to tbo work
of a body that is not what it pretends
to be.
men are always willing to make right
a wrong when it i.4 shown them, and
developments have demonstrated to
every man who didn't know It before,
that charges of collusion between the
republican candidates and a sewer ring
that existed only In the imagination
of a few embittered partisans, wore tho
silliest of unfounded slusn.
However, no one dreams that the
men who made these chturgee will at-
tempt to correct any wrong impression
for which they may be responsible, or
that they will help the present ad-
ministration in any way In providing
good government.
that way and besides it is against their
code to give credit to republicans, even

WILL EXPEL
FOREIGN CRIMINALS
Tendon la growing tired of being the
common refuge of foreign criminals
of every nationality, and Sir Howard
Vincent has introduced a bill into the
house of commons which proposes the
compulsory expulsion of all such gen-
try as soon as the law shall be able
to lay Its hands upon them. In par-
liament, tho other day, the home sec-
retary said that he estimated the an-
nual cost to the nation of maintaining
in prison the G26 aliens in custody at
30,000 pounds. Independently of the
value of tho property stolen. These
aliens formed 3 per cent of the prison
population. If the census returns were
trustworthy, foreigners constitute, less
than one-half per cent of the total
population of tho country, but are re-
sponsible for 3 per cent of the crime.
Henco their crimiuals aro la the pro-
portion of 6 to 1, aH compared with na-
tive-born residents. These figures only
refer to graver offences, and do not in-
clude foreign misdemeanors and others
against whom proceedings are taken
by summons to the police courts. Tho
30,000 spent on these alien crimiuals
represents the Inter eat on one million
sterling, which, manifestly, might be
more profitably expended. The objec
Hon is made, however, to Sir Howard
Vincent's bill that, although it makes
satisfactory provision lor the expulsion
jOtl lihe.se undesirable immigrants, it
offers no security attaint* their return
The problem is how to prevent them,
after they havo been expelled from one
port, from re-entering the country by
another. At present the whole coast
Is practically open to them, and will
be unless more stringent regulations
are adopted for the Inspection and ad-
mission of Immigrants.

publishing slanderous and damaging
untruths concerning the city that sup-
ports It, but there ought to be. The
disposition of a few dyspeptic editors
to make fools of themselves sometimes
forces the belief that our boasted free-

REFUTATION OF
UNFOUNDED CHARGES
During the recent municipal cam-
paign it afforded tho gentlemen who
opposed the republican mayoralty and
aldennanic candidates particular pleas-
ure to slate that they were the repre-
sentatives of a "sewer ring" which
hoped to gain complete control or the
letting of public contracts In order that
they might procure them at exliorbitant
prices. There nover was a reasonable
foundation for these charges and «
Is not Improbable that, a great many
of the men who repeated them knew
at the ttmo that they were circulating
campaign slander . However the state-
ments had no effect and the republican
candidates were elected.
At the first meeting of the new coun-
cil at which much business was attend-
ed to. a sewer contract was let and it
la gratifying to the people of Guthrie
to know that it was let at a price of
eighty-five cents s foot, hy long odds
the lowest price at which a similar con-
tract has ever been let in Oklahoma.
This contract, which is for the con-
struction of lateral sewers Is but the
forerunner of a number of others aud
tho large number of bids made to the
council Thursday evening Is proof that
the contractors know that there is uo
•ewer ring 1a Guthrie and that during
the present admlulstraition the man
who makes the offer most advantag-
eously to Guthrie will receive the most
