Shawnee Herald.-The agitation for
a constitutional convention should re-
suit In the holding of a rousing couven-
tion at Shawnee or some other acces-
sible point this spring, and that body
should issue a call for a convention to
frame a state constitution. The latter
body should be composed of an equal
number Of members from each terri
tory and in all other particulars il
should follow as nearly as possible the
lines provided for IN the Hamilton bill
by meeting in Guthrie and conforming
strictly to the plain provisions of the
'ede-al constitution. Such a move.
aent should meet the approval Of
every member or both houses of the
national congresses. for it would be an
authoritative declaration Of what our
people want.

COLD NERVOUS TREmoRs.


The fate Of the boodlers in St.
Louis viii by no means be reassuring
to the Standard Oil officials who now
seem to be engaging the attention OF
the attorney general Of Missouri This
officer has spoken some very ominous
words, as shown by the following dis.
patch
H-rbert S. Hadley. attorney gen
eral for Missouri said today that he
has evidence that will show that the
Standard oil company has fsgrantly
violated the Missouri antitrust law.
Three companies. said Mr.. Hadley.
control 95 per cent Of the oil trade in
Missouri. The Standard controls the
other companies named. in violation OF
the antitrust law Of the state The
three companies are no more inde-
pendent Of each other than would be
three grocery stores owned by the
same man."
When il is recalled ihat the st.

present manual labor being performed

Standards officers and promoters.

bold and elusive trusts and that trust

selves able to violate the law with inn
punity, they will have performed a
wonderful service for the people Of the
entire United States.
The indications are that the defiant
lobbyists and managers OF the stand

catarrh In Spring.

The spring is the best time to treat
catarrh. Nature renews herself every
spring. The system is rejuvenated by
spring weather. This renders medi-
cines more effective. A short course Of
Peruna, assisted by the balmy air Of
spring, will cure old, stubborn cases OF
catarrh that have resisted treatment for
years. Every body should have copy
Of DR.. Hartman's latest book on catarrh.

Every indication is that the Citizens
ticket will receive a good big majority
but safety from the old rule Of ex-
travaeance and loot lies only ia vigil

ticket have behind them the same old
push thct built the lateral sewers and
engineered things in the past and
there is nothing to hope for in contin-
uing their grip
They have the same old monkeys

cHlLDLEss DIVORCES.


Twenty-one divorces In three hours
and fcrty-seyen minutes should equal
the Dakota record. Although only one
cause exists for divorce in New York.
the local divorce courts have no lack
Of occupation. It Is clear that almost
an these cases are by consent. There
IS no opposition or consent. no allmony
asked and both parties are taking the
easiest and cheapest way to throw on
the bonds Of matrimony The hus-
bands regard 1t as no disgrace. but
rather as a proper matrimonial cour-
tesy for them to furnish the evidence
the Jaw requires.
Less than half these discordant
couples had children and none had
many children Matrimony without
children Is an uncertain tie. Parental
affection Is more constant than the ef-
fesyescent love Of early married life.
Where the families are large the many
children keep their parents too busily
employed for either Of them to be
seeking other gods The matrimonial
eoment seems much more likely 10

what IS the use of q iaw against
creating q deficit in an appropriation

territory was over $4,000. which was
covered by a deficiency bin ia the leg.
islature
II this Is TO be the course pursued by
the territorial officials there seems to
be very little ground Tor having any
at all IF the amount to
be expended IS not limited by the
amount Of the appropriation, why not
make all appropriations merely
blanket appropriations and just tell
the administration to pitch In and
spend all it likes and the territory viii
foot the bill?
County officers are held down to
very strict observance Of the law
against creating an Indebtedness in ex-
cess Of eighty per cent Of the levy un-
less the money is at hand in the treas
ury and under no consideration is the
expenditure to exceed the levy under
pain of the criminal law. In the
counties. if the officer chooses to ex-
ceed the limits Of the law, he binds
himself and his bondsmen. but not the
county Why should 1t not be the
same in the territory The presump-
tion is that the legislature appropriat-
ed the sum It intended should be ex-
pended and if it made no appropria-
tion why. then. the inference is that
it did aot intend there should be any
expenditure.
It is frequently contended that
exigencies arise which were not fore
seen by the legislature and that ad-
ministratiye officers should have the
right to determine when such exigen-
cies arise. To concede the point is to
open wide the purse strings Of the
territory and invite the administrative
officers to help themselves.
If this is the desirable policy the
law ought to say 50 instead of declar-
ing. as does the Organic Act. that all
monies expended from the territorial
treasury must be in pursuance of an
appropriation made by the legislature.
In practical effect there is a very
narrow and worthless distinction be-
tween creating the Indebtedness and
spending the money. In each case the
taxpayers foot ;he bill.
Il used to be contended that the
counties would go TO ruin if warrants
could not be issued. or Indebtedness
created. in excess of the levy, but ex-
perienoe has shown that the law limit
ing the power Of county officers was
the salvation Of county finances. Prior
to Its passage every county in the ter
ritory was plling up Indebtedness in
reckless disregard Of the levy. The
limiting act proved the salvation Of
the counties. Why Is not the doc
trine good one for the territory? It
is and should be-

The great bulk Of fresh news is serv-
ed by the evening papers all over the
world. This is especially true Ia this
part Of the country The reason is
not that the morning papers are less
enterprising. but that they work at a
disadvantage in regard to much the
larger portion OF the news.
IN this part Of the country the major
portion Of the news comes from the
East and the difference in time is on
the side Of the evening papers, thus
enabling them to get the days news
from the East at the close OF the bust
ness day and serve It at the supper
table Of the Middle West
Happenings al New York, Boston
and Washington at the close Of the Of
fetal day are In the evening papers,
ready for the business man in the
West, when his office is closed. The
entire happenings Of the day in all
European events are ready for the
evening papers Of the United States
owing 70 the difference in time.
The superiority Of the evening pa
pers was never so clearly demonstrate
ed as during the war in Manchuria
where the entire happenings OF each
day arrived here in time to go into the
evening papers. leaving merely a re-
hash and some belated details for use
in The morning papers. The evening
papers have simply reveled in a sue
cession Of scoops"
While this is true in the matter OF
telegraph service, It is equally true in
the matter Of local service. A perusal
of the Leader win give daily demon
stration OF the fact The local and per
s9nal items OF the day are very nearly
ala available for the evening service
and the Leader spares no pains or ex-
pense in obtaining them. This is not
necessarily due TO lack Of enterprise
on the part Of morning papers. but a
natural advantage in time Of issue,
which the Leader by It's enterprise has
