THOSE AMENDMENTS.
Est. Augustine Record.)
MA: y nj; &se nj


The Pensacola Journal pays consid-
cradle attention editorially to the re.
suit of the recent vote on the constitu-
tional amendments. all of which are
reported to have been defeated. Nat.
urally enough, the journal is not at
all pleased over the defeat of the
amendments which, II passed. would
have established criminal court of
record In Escambia county No doubt
such an institution was greatly de.
sired by the people of Escambia coun-
ty; in fact this was shown by the
large vote of approval given this prop
osition. But, strange to say. all the
otner amendments were likewise ap-
proved in that county. The Journal
points out that in other counties, not
ably Columbia county, the electors
voted just the other way. refusing to
support any OF the amendments.
BY way of explanation. the paper
says: THE chief issue of the cam
paign was the drainage amendment.
Every voter knew how he wanted 10
vote on that questionable other
amendments he had not studied 1t
was OF no particular Importance to
him whether they were carried or de
feated, The Australian ballot is a
somewhat difficult ballot to vote, even

for many intelligent men, and in the
matter OF constitutional amendment
1t Is an exceptionally hard matter for
an elector to vote just as he desires
to do and to be sure in his own mind
that he has voted that way?
To put the case briefly, It is to be
regretted that some wise and prob
ably desirable amendments were put
in the same list with the drainage
amendment One does not have to
go far for reason for the rejection
of the whole amendment dish" The
mass of the people did not want the
drainage scheme foisted upon the
state, and to make sure that their
wishes should find expression most
emphatically, voted mo all down the
line
There is a moral in the incident.

GENERAL PRESS COMMENT.
Oklahoma In the SOLID South.


Oklahoma takes her place within the
ranks of the Solid. South, thus strengthen
ing the line of defense against republic
canism and its allies, negroism and trust
ism. Had 1t not been for the fact that
the republican managers were confident
that the two territories, Oklahoma and
Indian Territory, which are to form the
new state, would return republican ma
jorities, the bill for the admission of Ok
lahoma to statehood would have been
killed in congress last spring.
The democratic ticket swept both ter
ritories, the Indians supporting Il solidly.
therefore democrats will write the con-
stitution of the new state and will have
fun control Of its government and will
send two democrats to the United States
senate. One Of these senators will prob
ably be General Porter, chief of the
Creek Indians, the ex-commander Of a
brigade in the Confederate army and the
first full-blood indian TO hold a seat in
the senate of the United sStates.-Hot
Springs Sentinel.
