STATE CAPITAL LETTER
BY OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT
Some of Asp’s Arguments Against the Constitution
There has beta (much curkslty In
Oklahoma as tdf tae contents of the
brief against the constitution filed by
Henry A E Asp with the United
States attorney general in Washing-
ton and which Mr Bonaparto la sam
to have examined with great care
The brief has been printed in pamph-
let form and a number of copies have
become public '
Mr Asp’s main argument was tbat
the constitution ‘was not republican In
form because of the provlstua of the
initiative and referendum and there-
fore was in violation of the statehood
crbrng act Mr Asp held that to be
republican la farm a state govern-
ment should be controlled by elected
representatives of the people In other
words a legislature To preve hla
assertion he quoted the opinion of
some of the most emlueut Jurists and
statesmen that have Hved In the
United States In the last century
Mr Asp declared that In effect
whatever amendments were made by
the constitution the initiative and re-
ferendum says that the people may
enact laws and amend the constitu-
tion Independent of the legislature
and the veto power of the governor
Bhatl not extend to matters voted on
by the people In the ooncluslon of
hlB brief he says:
It follows from these authorities
tliac the proposed Initiative and refer-
endum Is not republican in foim with-
in the meaning ’f section 4 article 4
of the constitution of the United
States and is inconsistent with our
theory of goverhment and is wholly
lrreconclalble with the gpnlus of our
free institutions and the American
plan of government The power
which reserves to the people the right
co pn pose and enact laws indepen-
dent of the legislature is destructive
of a representative government This
Is legislation by the electors directly
without the Intervention of the rep-
resentative persons chosen by the
people and is revolutionary In its
charter It entirely effaces ail the
familiar landmarks of a representa-
tive form of government which was
secured to us by the fathers of cur
Buttermilk and Poen for Prohibition Oklahoma
C A McNaLb secretary of the
Oklahoma board of agriculture claims
tu have made an original dlscoveiy
In the E'-cs-ivhy if? customs In the
new state He declares that the but-
termilk line in the new state Is about
fifty miles south of Quthrle and pas-
ses approximately from east to wost
through the towns of Purcell Chick-
asha and Hobart In all that region
Lng south of this line and north ot
Red river Secretary McNabb has
found that buttermilk Is the comm- n
drink of the inhabitants while north
of this line It may be procured at the
caravansaries only after much ex-
planation and insistence In the south
country nil milk is butermllk unless
otherwiae designitti while potatoes
always means Bweet potatoes
It has been proposed since Secre-
tary McNabb made his discovery that
the frst legislature be asacd to pro-
claim bjltciin'lk the cfflcal and law-
ful ditnk of the new prohibition state
More Rigid Gams Law to be Demanded

to enact a more rigid game law than

hatdly make any greater change than
to limit the number if quail a single

Speculation on Republican Senatorial Nominee
The announcement that Governor hiding Among them
Frank Frantz will ask for the repub-
lican minority caucus nomination in
the stale legislature for United States
senator has again set the republican
pot boiling Frantz Is making nn ac-
tive canvass among the republicans-
elect for their supicrt and has the
pledges of a number of them to vote
for him The nomination la purely
orua-ne-ital as out of the 153 mem-
luis of tie legislature on Joint ballot j man who gets It should tho time ever
ftreer than 30 are republicans 'ihe come when the republicans have a
two United Staton senators of course chance to elect two United States sen-
will’ bn democrats Robert L Owen atora
and T P Gore I

for the nomination friends ot Frantz

his catliyaign lor governor on the re-
paulican lii kef In the last campaign

because he was the most available
man in the state and made a bettor
race than would any other republican
He made the race however at great
personal sacrifice paving the bulk of
his expenses but of his own pocket

pressly guaranteed to every s ate by
the federal constitution
-'If this should become the funda-
mental and permanent law of our
stato and BkoulJ ba held to be re-
publican in form nnd in hamiony
with the spirit of our Institutions then
the convention or perhaps o me fu-
ture convention or the people In the
exercises of the power of amendment
under the Initiative and referendum
would have the power to entirely sup
ersede one of the co ordinate branches
of our government
"If it could supersede or destroy the
legislative branch of cur co-ordinate
government It o uld with equal forco
and reason destroy the executive
b-anch and It the executive and leg-
islative branches could be super-
sized or destroyed In forming a basic
law for a state then the same power
wld exist for superseding and de-
stroying the judicial branch of the
government and vest the power of In-
terpreting our laws directly with the
people Carried to Its ultimate con-
clusln it reserves to the people the
power to make the law to administer
Ihe law and to Interpret the law'
"And If this may be done by en-
croachment on established principles
then we may have in each state as
was stated by Mr Lute Pease In his
article on the Initiative and the Re-
ferendum hereinbefore cited ‘A
peaceful resolution! a revolution that
bids fair to spread through the union
one which emasculates Ihe state legis-
lature true’ and with equal right ana
force might emasculate the other and
the recognized departments of the
government and overturn the entire
structure of our American govern-
ment With the aversion exhibited by
the constitutional conventioa to the
constitution of 'the United Slates and
Its attitude towards the national gov-
ernment and Its established depart-
ments and the vote of confidence
given to these unpatrtctlc men by the
people of Oklahoma at the recent elec-
tion we may regret In the future to
be sown here the seeds ct dissolu-

These are a few things that go

ous secretary of the board of agri-

Eest Country on Earth
-The longer a man lives the mere
convinced he becomes that everything
has lls use and that no’hlng in na-
ture is wasted" said William H Mer-
ton a practical fanner and commis-
sion dealer In fruits and vegetables
who has watched Intently for yeuie
the development ot pie agrlcul'urai
and horticultural resources ot Okla
homa
“The cattlemen who came tlrxt to
Oklahoma long beO re the country
was opened to settlement honestly
believed that they wore tolling the
truth when thoy suld tbat farming In
Oklahoma was luipossiole and that a
farmer would starve to death trying
to live on the products of Ills hus-
bandry They talked of drouths and
pointed to the red sandy soil tor de-
ceptive to pers ns accustomed to the
dark loam of northern states and who
first ulBtook tho Oklahoma soli for a
poor quality of clay
"The first few years after Okla-
homa was opened to settlement
seemed to prove that the cattlemen
were right There were crop failures
and while nob uy starved to death a
good many were hungrier than they
had ever been back In the slates
Oklahoma was called a God forsaken
country
"But the truth was that tho new
settlers did not understand the rela-
tion ot the climate to the Boll and
did not know how to cultivate their
crops under changed conditions I am
convinced that when Oklahma was
made care was taken to make the
soil and the climate conform to each
other Each succeeding year proves
more and more the truth of what 1
say v
"For Instance there were moro
good farmers at work In Oklahoma
last season than ever before 'ihe
season was the dryest and the m-cst
Inhospitable for crops that we have
had since the early 90'b Despite this
fact men who had learned the secret
of crop-raising did better than they
had In more favorable years
"Heretofore the first vegetable In
Oklahoma to succumb to drouth was
the tomato In dr seasons the to-
mato was put cut of business In July
Last season canning factories were
established at Guthrie and elsewhere
In the territory by an experienced
grower of vegetables He contracted
with farmers to grow so many acres
of tomatoes and told them how to
cultivate with the stipulation that’
if thoy failed he would hire the labor
and deduct Ihe cost from the eulu oi
tho crop at the end of thd season
The result was that even In October
there Is an abundance ot fine torn a
toes due entirely to the fact that they
were cultivated according to the re-
quirements ot the Oklahoma soil and
climate The yield was tremendous
though the season was deficient by
flffy per cent ever the avoiage good
seasons
"The canteloupe crop was further
proof of what I have said Dry weath-
er had always been disastrous to the
canteloupe fields Growers who had
learned the peculiarities of soil and
climate In Oklahoma raised a bumper
crop this last dry season and as late
as the first of this month I knew
fields where the canteloupes had as
g od color and flavor as the best pro-
duct of Rocky Ford The same Btory
could be told of watermelons At
Lawrle one man cloared $700 on a tern
acre tract planted to watermelons
How many farmers matte mat much
on a farm of 100 acres?
"Peach orchdi-dd wore no less an
object lesson Near the little t:wn of
Seward Albert Ploeger owns 1000 El-
berta peach trees which he cultivates
carefully according tut the require-
ments of natural conditions In Okla-
homa He sold $1900 worth ot
peqehes from his orchard I know of
another orchard of 2000 trees that
brought Its owner not to exceed $100
for tho crop The difference was be-
tween knowing wlmt to do and doing
It

Every day people of Oklahoma learn
more and more about the Inexhausti-
ble and valuable natural resources ot
their state The town of Shawnee
lately did a lot of asphalt paving at a
cost of about $227 a square yard us-
ing foreign asphalt Citizens greW
curious to know whether or not s bet-
ter or less costly BBphalt could not
have been found closer at home A
committee was appointed by the local
Chamber of Commerce to Investigate
tbe asphalt used in paving Btreets at
Ardmore the asphalt being found In
enormous deposits In the adjacent hills
In the Chickasaw nation In reporting
cn what the committee found Mayor
Frank Stearns of Shawnee said
“We saw paved streets that had
been used more than a year and they
were superior In every way to our
streets that had been paved with for
elgn asphalt A feature of the Ard-
more product Is that It becomes hard-
er smoother and glazed by wear
Merely by pounding the asphalt to-
gether repairs can be made In the
streets
"At the Ardmore plant the native
asphalt Is ground into powder It con-
tains both sandstone and limestone
Thla powder la plaoel In a large ves-
sel and heated until the asphalt begin
to run It la then hauled to the
streets and poured In a mush-llke con-
dition on the base of crushed atones
A heavy roller Is applied and In one
day the street can be opened to traf-
fic Tbs more travel the better It
eeems to make the elreet
"We een get the Ardmore asphalt
as It comes from the mines at $160
tou en board ears A ton will lay
tea aqusre yards ot paving two Inches
thlok The coet ot paving would be
about 1 a square yard" i
CASSEROLE COOKING
DELICIOUS FLAVOR IMPORTED
TO ALL KINDS OF FOOD
The Idea Recently Imported to This -Country
from France— Hee Sue- -
eeeded the Chafing Dish
There Is nothing that Imparts to
food a more savory and delicious '
flavor than to cook It on casserole
Not that there Is any peculiar splpl-
ness bidden In the rough sides ot this
foreign cooking utensil Tbe casserole
possesses no magical powers but it
has a very delightful way all Its own -of
retaining and blending the natural
flavors of anything cooked in It while
It brings out others that are entirely
lost In the ordinary method of pre-
paring meats and vegetables The
casserole marks a new era In the his-
tory ot cuisine It has changed the
routine ot the family domestic and
It hae educated the taste of the mem-
bers around the dinner tables as well
as of tbe habitues of good restaurants -for
the casserole la the favorite dish
of the lovers of excellent food It Is '
the pet dish of the gourmet En cas-
serole Is the way to prepare a bird a
specially One bit ot meat or vegetables'
to tempt the most Jaded appetite aud-
io pease the palate of the epicure
With a steaming and savory casserole
before one the worries of the moment
are forgotten Ambrosia and nectar
even seem Insipid when compared -with
the relleh held within the bulg-
ing sides of a common clay casserole'
Cooking en casserole Is -an Idea
adopted from the world's be3t chefs
those of France It Is simple to do
and it la economical while the dish
lteelf Is so cheap that Americans hesi-
tate to have It served In Its natural
form at tho dinner table and seek to
hide lls roughness with costly orna-
mentation Tho Ideal French casserole
Is a shallow yellow earthenware dish '
prlvlded with a stubby handle which
Is a part of the earthenware dish lt-
solf The outside of the common can-
serole Is quite rough and It haa a por-
ous appearance which may have
something to do with the way the
casserole cookB whatever la put Into '
It Tbe Inside Is glazed and usually
has n reddish brown color An ordi-
nary casserole costs about 40 cents
aqd larger ones come to a dollar or
more and tbe ordinary kind la quite -the
best to use for cooking- ' -Until
recently casseroles were rath-
er difficult to buy in this country Few
of the department stores and shopa
devoted to cooking paraphernalia car-
ried them and those who were wed-
ded to casserole cooking had to hunt
these earthenware dishes In little out-of-the-way
places In the French quar-
tor of the city There Is a casserole
headquarters In a quaint French shop
Just south of Washington square navy
yard which has long been the Mecca
ot tbe casserole devotees There you
can get casseroles In every Bize rang-
ing from tbe tiny Individual one that
Is scarcely three Inches In diameter'
and yet Is an exact copy of the larger
ones even to the handle to casseroles
measuring about 18 Inches across and
with a capacity that would satisfy a
fair sized camping party Some of
these casserifles are deeper than oth-
ers though all are comparatively shal-
low and linve sides that round up
slightly over the top They come with
and without covers but whether yon
provide yourself with an earthenware
cover to lua-ch before beginning your
apprenticeship to the casserole It is
well to unde-eland that part ot tbe
secret of cooking en casserole Is tn
having the d!t-h coveted while tt Is
In the oven )
The casserole has succeeded thb
chafing d'sh to a great extent and
Instend of tho old time alcohol and
doith’e pan nickel afTalrs without
which no bachelor anartment or col-
lege room was cons'detod completely I
equipped casseroles mounted some-
thing like ckaHug dishes are being
sold The ca serole part Is the same
as these that are offered In tbe little
French shop but It Is set on hand-
some copper brass or nickel supports
