Oklahoma's
Constitution.
"It's Merits Far Over-Balance It's Errors and
Demerits," Says John H. Brennan.
There is some criticism df an
unfavorable character as to the
length of the proposed constitu-
tion of Oklahoma. Possibly some
who make such criticisms may
think that the constitution of Ok-
lahoma should be as brief as any
that have been formulated for
other states. But do such people
realize what problems confronted
the members of the Oklahoma
constitutional convention? Do
they realize that no other conven-
tion in all these United States ever
had to provide so much in the way
of the machinery for government?
All other states have had territor-
ial government and a full line of
laws and a full supply of local of-
ficers during their territorial period
but in this territory there is no
local government except in the
incorporated towns. We have no
county organization, no townships,
nor any other governmental or-
ganization. Everything in the way
of government was necessarily left
for the constitutional convention
to provide even to the organiza-
tion of the forces for holding the
election for the adoption of the
constitution. No other state has
ever been made of so new material
so far as the organization of gov-
ernment is concerned. All of which
required legislative work upon the
part of the constitutional conven-
tion.
Again, no state was ever put un-
der such requirements in the na-
tional enabling act as we are. Con-
ditions are imposed here (and con-
ditions that require legislative ac-
tion) such, as were never before
required of any proposed state.
You may search history in vain
for an enabling act that made such
requirements of any territory.
The constitutional convention
necessarily had to provide county
boundaries for Indian Territory.
It could not avoid the question of
prohibition.
The convention would have
been indifferr.it to public opinion
had it not given the question of
the limitations of the actions and
methods of the corporations the
most tareful consideration, and
taken such action as to properly
provide for the strict regulation of
all corporations to be organized
or to seek an opportunity
to do business in this new state.
And we observe that the great
majority of the Republicans whom
we have heard discuss the ques-
tion are well pleased with the con-
stitutional provisions as to corpor-
ations. And this constitutes one
of the longest articles in the con-
stitution.
It necessarily required consider-
able work upon the part of the
convention to provide for the
transfer of all the litigation pend-
ing under the federal regime in
Indian Territory, so far as it per-
tained to local matters, to be com-
pleted under statehood laws and
by the state courts. This is also
true of the notarial work and the
notaries public who are commis-
sioned in Indian Territory. In
fact, there are many things in the
provisions for statehood for i ndian
Territory that were absolutely
necessary and that were never
necessary before in providing for
the admission of a territory.
It is probably true that it might
have been made somewhat briefer
than it is, but it is also true as has
been well said by a distinguished
citizen of this place—Hon. John
H. Brennan—"its merits far over-
balance its errors and demerits,"
and "its amendment is simple; so
simple that it carries on its face
full proof that its framers wrote
therein their honest sentiments on
statecraft, with no wish to saddle
the same on the community irrev-
ocably without regard to majority
opinion," and thus they made it
the constitution of all the consti-
tutions in this great union of
states that is most easily amended

Marshal Brown matfe a . very
important capture Monday when
he arrested^ a' fellow who wears
the name "Snooks," alias Tom
Smith—Smith was the name he
gave Brown. Indian Policeman
James Walker 'phoned Brown
from Coffeyville to be on the
look-out for "Snooks,' as he was
headed in this direction. Brown
saw a man in Dolph Fugate's
pool- room answering ."Snook's"
discription and placed him under
arrest. It developed that he was
wanted in Coffeyville for assault-
ing an old man Sunday with a
base ball bat. The old man is in
a very critical condition with very
little' _ hopes of his recovery.
Brown took "Snooks" to Coffey-
ville on the evening train and
turned him over to the authori-
ties. It is believed that "Snooks"
had something to do with the
killing of Johnny Petors in Bar-
tlesville some two years ago.
Marshal Brown was at that time
city marshal of Bartlesville and is
well versed in the crook and his
ways and he thinks "Snooks was
implicated in the Peters affair.

holding a prominent position with
the Drummond Tobacco com-
>any of St. Louis, has moved his
amily to Dewey to live.

ing some of the heavy machinery

MADE TULSA COME ACROSS.
The Presbyterian College Committee
Allowed No Four -Flushing.
Tweuty-five thousand dollars has
been deposited in a Tulsa bank sub-
ject to the check of Rev. R. J. Lamb,
of Bartlesville, chairman of the com-
mittee on the relocation of Henry
Kendall' college, now located at Mus-
kogee. Tulsa offered $100,000 for. the
college. Tulsa, however, is much
given to making big promises and is
notorious for its refusals or inability
to make good. The Presbyterian
committee, however, made the town
come through. Not only has the
$25,000 cash been put in the bank, but
the remaining $75,000 is secured bv
the pledge of the Commercial club
and the deeds for the lots from sale of
which the bonus is secured are in the
hands of trustees.
Taking this $100,000 from Tulsa dis-
qualifies that town for a long time
from giving bonuses ' for any other
purpose, for that was about all the
ready money there was in Tulsa.
Farmer* Union anil the "Anti*" Arrang
ing a Celebration.
Nothing has been doneln Bartlesville
toward a celebration of the Fourth of
July, but the day will not pass with-
out full and due observance in at
least one community. The Farmers
union and the Anti-Horse Thief asso-
ciation of Glen Oak have joined
hands to arrange a great celebration
of the day at that place. The commit-
tee of the two organizations is com-
posed of I Fleming, W. A. Rickey,
S. C. Bruner and T. B. Van Meter,
(he latter being secretary of the com-
mittee. (J leu Oak is half way between
Bartlesville and Nowata. The pro-
gram will consist of a base ball game,
roping contest, speaking and other
athletic sports.
The A. H. T. A. organization has
been in existence for a long time, and
the Farmers' union was organized but
a short time airo. The officers of the
Anti-Horse Thief association are K.
C. Bird, president; W. A. Rickey,
vice president, and John Thompson,
secretary. The organization lias a
To Keep Street* Clean.
The practice of throwing fruit rinds,
papers, wrappers and like truck on
the sidewalks and in the streets is
highly reprehensible. Yet it is diffi-
cult to criticise the practice because
the offenders have, no other place to
throw those articles. A collection of
meat boxes or other receptacles
placed at street corners would afford
a place for rubbish and keep the
streets cleaner. An ordinance fixing
a suitable punishment for throwing
stuff in the street could then be en-
forced with justice. By the way, the
practice of marking up the sidewalk
with gobs of paint is another bad one.
