oKLAHouAs OPPORTUNITY.


The rare opportunity before the peo-
pie of Oklahoma in their constitutional
convention excites general interest in
the manner in which they will i'm
prove 1t. AS nearly as it is possible
for any community-for no common
wealth can by any means free itself
from its antecedents and peculiar en-
ronments-Oklahoma may write it's
organic law on a sheet of white paper
Particularly is the new state untram-
melled in establishing the relations of
public authority to corporations, trusts,
taxation and many other vital ques-
tons for which the older states have
labored at disadvantage to find solu-
lions. Their experience is available ae
a guide under far more propitious cir
cumstances in the new state than in
those where it was evolved.
Nor does the new commonwealth
undertake the work in immaturity.
With a population considerably exceed
ing that of Nebraska, with far greater
wealth and material interests than
those of many of the old states, with
citizenship largely drawn from the
best of the western and southern
states, the popular representatives in
the constitutional convention will be
to blame if they do not draft a frame
work of government, at once safely
conservative and BEAUTIFULLY progress
sive, which safeguarding every inter-
est of their own, will also serve as a
model for other states.
While the people of Oklahoma have
ofton naturally been impatient in the
difficulties which have postponed state
hood, it is not improbable that the
delay, during which their interests
have formed on permanent lines and
their preparation has been perfected,
may in the end prove a blessing.

A serious situation appears to have been
pointed out by Major General Leonard
Wood in a report on the interference with
military mobility by what that officer re-
CARDS as the overburdening of the soldier.
He believes that the haversack should be
abandoned, and that a back pack should
replace both the haversaclI and the roll,
the contents of the pack to be reduced TO
such absolute essentials as one suit of un-
derclothes, one pair of socks, tooth brush,
toilet soap, shelter half, and for the tropics
a light blanket or poncho, possibly a mos
quito bar rations and extra ammunition.
General Wood regards this as sufficient for
the soldier to carry, If there is to be abil-
ity to march and to shoot. General Wood
adds Extra shoes, clothing, etc, must
be supplied at intervals IN the campaign
II officers see that their men are thoroughly
equipped, when an opportunity offers with
sound shoes and good clothing II is be-
leved that they will be able to go on
again until able TO draw from a depot
One thing is certain: with the present en-
tire equipment the mobility of troops is 50
reduced that their efficiency is seriously i'm
paired. On the other hand, under modern
conditions involving rapid and extensive
movements, combined with separation from
the immediate source of supply, the men
must take with them the absolute essen
tials for several days operations. To dc
this everything except the absolutely neces-
sary articles must be removed"

President George f. Baer of the Read
Ing says that the general education OF
all the people, which must necessarily be
limited, creates rash and superficial think
ing and unrest"
1t is understood from this that Mr..
Baer would abolish general education OF
all the people?"
There was no general education Of all the
people in France in the eighteenth cen.
tury' but that fact did not prevent unrest
and revolution. With all it's limitations
we will probably continue our system OF
popular education There is more safety
In it than in no education.

THE LATE SAMUEL SPENCER.

The death of Samuel Spencer, presi-
dent Of the Southern railroad system,
is in very large sense a public mis-
fortune, as well as the loss Of a man
who can i'll be spared from railroad
activities. While his career is fun of
interest as that of foremost self
made man, beginning as a poor south
ern boy amidst the wreckage left By
the civil war, in which, though a boy
in his teens, he made a record for
manly bravery on the confederate side,
his attitude not only of open minded
ness to but also of sympathy with the
demand for reformed relations be-
tween railroads and the public is now
justly recalled to his honor.
President Spencer was one of the
conspicuous men in the highest rank
in railroad management who heartily
supported President Roosevelt in in
creasing the scope and powers of the
Interstate Commerce commission, and
few have stated with greater cogency
than he the conditions requiring a
public tribunal invested with ample
and conclusive powers for adjusting
the controversies over transportation
on a basis equitable and fair to all
interests. 1t shows his breadth OF
mind that he saw how the ultimate
and substantial interests OF the carrier
corporations themselves, as well as
those of the whole community, would
be best promoted by such a settle.

Just as an evidence of Nebraska s
present importance it may be stated
that the corn crop of the Antelope
state for 1906 is worth more in real
money than the entire silver output of
the world for 1905, and that the farm
products of the state for the year is
worth as much as the entire produc-
ton of gold aud silver combined for
the year 1905.

CHEAP BUT SUBSTANTIAL
Simple, Plain Furniture Has an Indi-
viduality and Effective Character.

We wished to avoid cheap, highly
polished furniture and to have Q room
simple yet expressing Individuality.
The room itself is a northwest one
well lighted, so that the dark fur
nishings we chose do not give it q
gloomy appearance. The house Is new
and the walls are left in the rough gray
plaster finish, paneled with two-inch
strips Of cypress, to height OF four
feet, the strips being a foot apart: a
wider band Of this wood joins the strips
here with good effect. This paneling,
like. the other woodwork Of the room,
including the frames Of the latticed
windows, we stained with 2 wood dye,
giving the appearance OF Weathered
oak. 81
+ Pursuing our search thru the
stores for the necessary articles we dis
covered first, the table. It is of wealth
cred oak, with a square top, forty-tWo
inches across. It is an. extension table
with two leaves, perfectly plain, with
was 1875; made to order at mill
and stained at home, its cost would
probably be much less. We found also
| buffet which we felt sure was made
to fit certain space between two
! windows Of our room. It matched our
table In finish and consisted OF q
shallow drawer for silver and lower
compartment with latticed glass doors
| This article Of furniture cost us $l2.50
Out of our appropriation Of $50 we
had left $21.75 for chairs, which we
obtained for even less. Five plain
1 weathered oak chairs with saddle seats
came to $15.75, and the host Is armchair
/ to match was found for 81. A good
investment we considered was the pur
4 chase Of rubber tips for chair and table
legs, costing us so cents more. The
absence Of scratches on the hardwood
I floor and nerve-racking noises when the
chairs are moved is worth more thar
their cost.
/ With the addition Of plants and dot

Care Of Kitchen Sink.

A very eminent physician once said,
eff I am called in to a case Of diph-
liberia the first thing I look at is the
kitchen sink The dangers arising
from a badly kept sink cannot be ex-
aggerated, nor can any degree Of care
in avoiding them be considered extreme.
The waste pipe from a kitchen sink
should have boiling water and ammonia
or washing soda poured down it each
day. At least once a week it should
be treated to a dose Of some good dis
infectant such as chloride Of lime.
This old standby is very inexpensive
and quite as good as many Of the mod
ern high priced articles. Put large
teacupful of chloride Of lime into two
quarts of water. .~ e. r. ~

Unity in House and Furnishing.

William Morris was accustomed to de.
fine architecture as the art not only of
building but also of house furnishing
and decoration. This is clearly the
right view, and hbuse to be truly ar
stistic must represent a unity of design
with respect to structure, furniture and
decoration.
