under territorial governn.ent and bu-;

He of most of the older sta'es. ;
With the Oklahoma constitution reje
rereiaiiig as it does the will of such
a majority of her citizens as their
chart the first legislature found their
work to a large degree cut out for
them. With tv? single exception of
the bank deposit guaran'y law aris-
ing froui an emergency created after
the adoption of the constitution there
few indeed If any laws enacted
by the first legislature that were not
contemplated and foreshadowed in the
constitution itself.
The most Important act of Okla
homa's first legislature Is that which
places In operation the principles of
the initiative and referendum. Other
laws are retnediel or reformatory in
their nature and are made to correct
ponbible or existing errors but the in-
itiative and referendum is fundamen
tal and goes back to the very begin
ning of thingH. It compels public offi-
cials to be In reality public servants
and prevents tbe greatest evil of rep-
resentative government by making the
wielders of delegated itower respon-
sible to the people. It brings the final
decision of questions of public policy
back to the source from which the
delegated power must spring and
makes a reality of the constitutional
proviHion; which says' that all laws
must begin "Be it enacted by
people of the stale of Oklahoma.'
While tbe Oklahoma legislature has
faithfully carried out the duties out
lined for them by tae constitution
makers they have shown also that
they are not lacking In originality
when necessity arises anad that on
new 'juestions of public pollfy they
are just as single-minded in their de
sires for the welfare of the common
neotile as were the makers of the
organic law.
The most striking piece of original
legislation turned out by the first leg-
laiur' of Oklahoma is the bank depos
it guaranty law. in the caking of
which they are without precedent
either In the constitution or in the
legislative enactments of the other
forty-five states.
That this law is woiking to the ab-
solute satisfaction of the people of
Oklahoma goes without oifsiior..
That it is successful is proven by the
endorsement given it by more than
two hundreds state bankers in a ses-
sion held after it had been in operation
tli tee months.
From the viewpoint of the news-
paper men the Oklahoma legislature
Is unusual for its failure to develop
"strong" men. The number of men
of average talent and absolute honesty
in either branch of (lie legislature is
remarkable but to dedsn.itc any one.
two or half dozen men In either the
senate or house as leaders would be
impossible. The influence of Speaker
Murray of the house and of President
pro tern Johnson of the senate is un-
questioned but each of them came to
the senate with established reputa
tions the one as president "f trie
constitutional convention and the oth-
er as a member of the convention and
member of the former territorial leg-
islature. Despite those established
reputations and the Influence of their
respective positions neither Murray
nor Johnson have ever been credited
by either their friends to dictate to
the body over which the presided.
Other men through their positions
as committee chairmen have been
largely quoted In connection with the
various laB enacted but in reaiit"
there Is no measure that passed e'the
house that Is not the composite of

AWD NOW THEY DONT SPEAK.
Vhiipering Stonet in Statuary Hall
Completed Estrangement.
Who hasn't heard or experimented
with the famoua "whispering gallery
In statuary hall? Really the phenom
enon Bhould be called the "whisper-
ing stones" for two persons stand-
ing exactly or these stones and sep
arated by the wide expanse of th
great vaulted chamber can carry on
low-toned conversation. A capitol
guide tried to explain the why of It
to me once but got all tangled up
and failed miserably says a writer la
th Washington Star. I suppose it is
merely that by some sort of outra-
geously complicated acoustic the hu-
man voice startinpr as a soft-spoken
word from one of these stones ia
phonographlcall; treated ad magni
fied until It is a regular bellow when
It arrives at th other. But this isn't
the whispering stones but concerns a
congressional feud they started.
There are two Democrats In tha
house from the same eouthern state
who have never been particularly im-
pressed with each other but who havi
always taken the greatest pains to
remain on the most friendly terms.
Let's call them Jones and Smith and
explain their courtesy by saying that
Jone3 although he didn't like Smith
thought Smith likes him and riot
versa.
But it's all over now for one day
last week Jones was standing in stat-
uary hall talking with a constituent
and the conversation turned on Smith.
There were a few people scattered
around the hall but Jones alwayn
cautious spoke in almost a whisper.
But in that whisper be relieved his
mind. He called Smith everything he
could think of from a conceited pin-
beaded ass up. And after he had con-
cluded his peroration and had paused
to draw a long breath he nearly
dropped dead when apparently out of
the clear sky came in an enraged
'oar. the voice of Smith. And Smith
itarted oft with "Snake!" and from
that he branched out and became elo-
quent When Joiea recovered his presence
jf mind he began to glance around
and far across statuary hall standing
on one of the whispering stones
which It might be explained are not
marked In any way he saw Smith
-esticulating violently and apparent
y talking to himself for there was no
jce within yards of him. But every
word that he said reached Jones and
in a minr.te he was barking back. Ths
spectacle was perfectly idiotic but
this fact dida't appeal to either Jonea
or Smith at the time.
And now they don't even speak;
also the tale having been spread
-iround by dear friends of both par-
ties members of the house are be
ginning to be careful what hey say
in passing through statuary hall
where are located the wonderful but
somewhat indiscreet whispering
-.tones.

Dear 1'riend:
Don't you think nice catsup
makes your meat taste lots better?
I do. But the catsnp must be
good. I think Buffalo is the very
best kind of catsup. It is made
out of pure vegetables and helps
your digestion.
A big bottle of Bu3a!o catsup
costs 25 cents.

QUICKER TO WALK UPSTAIRS
Ordinary Mortals Liable to Delay In
Capitol Elevators.
1 gam.
Not long since Mr. Latta who con-
veys all of President Roosevelt's mes-
sages from the White House to the
-tapitol stepped in tha elevator with
a big black portfolio under his a.-m
wntalnlng "a message" in writing from
the president to the senate of the
United States." Just then there waa
a senatorial signal from the sub-cellar
so Instead of going up with Mr.
Roosevelt's messenger the operator
lowered the cage to the basement. The
inator who entered wished to go to
the gallery so the elevator went up
to that point without stopping. An-
other senator was waiting at the gal-
lery floor who had business in the
basement. Several trips from up to
bottom were made without stopping
it the senate floor where Mr. Latta
wished to get out.
"Hold on" said Mr. LaUa Just aa
'.he elevator reached the bottom after
lis fourth fruitless attempt to reach
the senate floor. "I guess I will get
nut and walk up. You see I am in a
nurry!"
"Looks like a senatorial consplr-
io.y" reiuaikcd a b slander "to keep t
the president from communicating
-vi- i the senate."

Whenever a senator enters the ele-
vator the conductor takes him imme-

with men and women headed in the
opposite direction. Three rings is a
notice to the conductor that a senator
wishes to go up or down. Frequently
t mischievous page will give the sen-
atorial ring and then run to cover
and at such times the conductor usei
language that is qulta unparliamen-
tary. Occasionally a delicate situation
