HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Beef or mutton reheated in a double
boiler is a vast Improvement over the
ordinary stew
For the removal Of grease spots
from wooden dresses salt dissolved in
alcohol is recommended.
To improve the flavor Of roast beef
and give a rich brown color add a
tablespoonful Of sugar to the water
for basting the meat.
A piece of coarse net sewed over an
extra large hole in a stocking will
make it easier to darn, and will make
the darn more lasting.
A small paint brush with long.
strong, supple bristles is the best
thing with which to keep cut glass
clean. 1t is the only means Of reach
ing the dust which lodges in the small
carvings.
Copperware may be frightened by
rubbing with a piece of flannel that
has boen wrung out Of hot water,
we'll soaked and busted with borax.
Rinsing and a polish should follow the
rubbing.
When frying croquettes be sure to
plunge the basket in hot fat before
the croquettes are placed in it. This

wire when lifted out.
The value of wringing clothes we'll
cannot be overestimated. A good
laundress sqheezes out the last drop
Of soapy water, and again rinses the
garment well after she has thorough
~ rinsed it
White crepe paper has been found
to be the satisfactory tablecloth at
fetes. No one is ever anxious to do
nate one of her own tablecl0ths for
this purpose and the paper kind is
just as effective.
Flower baskets are superseding the
more ordinary vase. With fiuted edge
and graceful handle they make a most
artistic receptacle for short stemmed

IN FORCE TODAY
Rate Bill Now Law, but Pas
ses Are Good Until
January

Today is the lay on which the rate
bill adopted by the last congress
takes effect. 1t had been thought by
many that the provision against the
giving of passes would take effect to-
day also, but the officials at the court
house are relieved to learn that this
provision does not become operative
until January /, 1907.
OF course the railroads may, If
they desire, take up the passes before
then, but this viii hardly be done.
After January l, however, no passes
may be given to government officials,
while stricter rules will be enforced
against all other applicants.
It is said that some Of the roads
will be much more strict in regard
to their newspaper mileage; the
Santa Fe, for instance, IS reported to
have given notice that hereafter
mileage will be issued only in pay
ment for advertising actually used.
This will greatly restrict the amount
Of mileage issued to some of the
country papers.

An Expert Laundress Advises Black
Starch and Salt and Vinegar
in Rinsing Water.

A good laundress is what Is need
ed to solve a serious problem for the
woman who wears mourning, par
ticularly in the summer Black goods
not only look warm, but are warm,
and the black lawns and sheer goods
are avoided by most women because
it is generally thought that they can
not be laundered with much success,
says contributor to the Brooklyn
Eagle
Al certain laundress who is well
known among her clients as an au-
thority on all matters Of soap and
water and starch, offers the follow
ing directions, which will bring the
best results if attended to carefully.
Dissolve a heaping tablespoonful
of black starch in two tablespoons OF
lukewarm water. Then pour a quart
of boiling water over it, stirring con-
stantly until it gets perfectly clear,
but do not let it boil.
Wash the dress in a little soap.
suds, just warm. Rinse it in two
buckets of cold water, with one tea
cup of vinegar and a handful of salt
Dry the dress and then pour the black
starch over it. Let the dress get a
little bit dry, then roll it up, without
sprinkling, and iron upon the wrong
or under side, over a black cotton
cloth. The dress will look as good
as new"
An easier way to solve the problem
is not to wear pure black in summer
All white is considered by many as
almost as deep mourning as black"

FIFTH DISTRICT
IS ORGANIZED

The township committeeman Of the
Fifth recording district met at Pryor
Greek Saturday and perfected per-
manent organization as follows: j. r.
Carselowey Of Ada air, chairman; A. r..
Henneigh of Chouteau, secretary; j..
20. Burgess of Pryor Creek, assistant
secretary. ]. c. Burgess was endors-
ed for election commissioner for the
fifth district
Each committeeman was instructed
to make list Of the Republicans in
his township, and to organize a club.
No one in the Republican ranks In
the Pryor Creek delegate district has
yet been mentioned as candidate
for delegate to the constitutional COT
yention.

COMMITTEEMEET
Republicans Will Probably Set
Dates for Delegate
Conventions

The executive committee Of the
Indian Territory Republican organ
ization is in session today in Nc
Alester 1t is a special meeting,
called to take action on the organ
ization Of campaign committees in
the various delegate districts.
1t is probable that the township
committeeman from the various town.
ships in the delegate districts will be
empowered to meet together on a
certain date to be set by the COM
mittee for the purpose Of organizing
for the campaign for delegates. The
recording districts are already organ
lied, but the delegate districts do not
concide with the recording districts
and therefore a separate organization
for the former is necessary.
The executive committee VIII
doubtless set the date for the holding
~ conventions in each delegate
district for the nomination of candi-
dates. 1t is probable that this date
will be about four weeks before the
election, which is set for November 8.
The committee will also have to
pass on the question of the establish
ment Of headquarters and the OPEN
ing Of an active campaign in the In
dian Territory There are already
headquarters in Muskogee, but as yet
no very active work has been done.
The Democratic campaign from Okla
homa City is so active, however, that
the Republicans must get busy. They
viii probably take up the question OF
the establishment of press bureau.

WITHDRAWS

W. P. Thompson yesterday announ-

prevent him from accepting nomin-
alton as DELEGATE to the constitutions

leaves w. H. Kornegay in possession
of the field, there having been no 9TH

thought that Mr.. Thompson stood
the better chance Of securing the
nomination. G. NJ. Marti", who also
had aspirations, is in the Afton-Grove
district.

Club Meets Tomorrow

Tomorrow night is the regular
meeting night of the Young Mems
Republican club. The meeting will
be held in the court house. Arrange
ments will be made for the holding Of
a big rally here later in the fall. I0
had been hoped that Colonel r. W.
Blue could be here to speak tomorrow
night, but he sent word today that
his acceptance Of the invitation
rendered him would have to be with
drawn, important business prevent
ing him from being in Vinita on that
day.

MUST FOLLOW
HIS EXAMPLE

Washington, Aug. 2S-President
Roosevelt's order regarding phonetic
spelling has been extended to all de-
partments of the government. BY
his direction all public documents are
to be printed in that form of spelling.
A meeting was held yesterday, called
by Public Printer Stiilings, Of all the
chief clerks Of the various departments
and committee was appointed to
formulate rules for carrying out the
order.

The Republican Editorial associa-
tion of the Third Oklahoma congress-
ional district, in session here yes
terday, adjourned at o'clock to meet
on the last Monday in September in
Muskogee. The editors all left on the
evening trains for their homes.
At the afternoon session yesterday
the constitution as reported by the
committee was unanimously adopted,
The editors then opened an old-fash-
ioned question box, presided over by
Mat Telin Of the Alton Climax.
The first question, How shall we
deal with the negro question? aroused
several hours debate. 1t was the
consensus of opinion that the Re,
publicans should recognize no race
issue. Republicans have been accus-
ed Of desiring social equality for
whites and negroes, but this, it is felt,
is sufficiently answered by the fact that
a Republican legislature In Oklahoma
has provided forseparate schools there,
while Republican congress has pro-
vided separate schools for the Indian
Territory. No one would disturb
this status, which is best for both
races.
But Republicans, while denying
social equality, or, rather, social in
tercourse between the races, assert
the doctrine of absolute political
equality; no man shall be disfranchis-
ed on account of race, color or previ-
GUS condition Of servitude. An edu'
cational qualification shall operate
equally against whites, blacks and In
dians; the Republicans favor no such
evasIons OF the lawas the grandfath-
ers' clauses Of the southern states
The above represents practically
the sentiment of the editors on the
race question, though Of course there
were points OF difference. No resolu.
tions on this or any other subject
were adopted yesterday, as it was felt
the proper place for their introduc-
tion is in the party platforms.
A number of other topics Of inter
est we're discussed, notably that OF
primaries. Almost to man the ed
itors expressed themselves I'D favor Of
a compulsory state primary similar to
the one in Wisconsin.
But the most interesting and in
structive feature Of the meeting was
the discussion by Judge Gill, at the
request OF the editors, Of the powers
of the constitutional convention.
Judge Gall, III granting the request,
stated that he regretted the fact that
he had not had time to prepare for an
adequate presentation Of 50 grave a
matter. AS he had not had time to
put his speech in proper shape, he
said, or to consult authorities as he
would have liked to do, he would
merely engage in an informal discus
sion OF the SuDJecU.
He called attention to the great i'm
portance Of the constitution. No con-
stitution of any Of the states has
been written since the development
Of the present commercialage. There
are today mammoth trusts and COM
binaticns which must be dealt with,
and with which existing laws have
shown themselves impotent to deal.
Oklahoma, therefore, must blaze the
way; with the benefit Of the expert
ence Of others, she must consider
the best method Of control Of the
..--.c--a a-o1.. and rannonnllna

EDITORS LISTEN
TO JUDGE GILL
Latter Tells Of Powers Of Constitutional
Conventions Editorial Meeting
Adjourned Yesterday.

Judge Gill said he had no doubt
that the people Of the new state
would meet and deal with these ques-
tions successfully, but that success
cannot be attained through an appeal
to prejudice. rusts are product
of growth; they could not be eliminat-
ed, even If it we're economically wise
to attempt TO do SO. They are rapa
cious, lawless often, but they we're
created by law, owe their existence to
law and can be controlled by law. 1t
will be the duty Of the new state to
adopt wise regulations that will pre-
vent the abuses Of today and
that win enable the people Of Okla
homa to reap the benefits without
the curses OF the present industrial
organization.
The Judge then called attention to
the fact that the organic act for Ok
lahoma is divided into three parts:
things that must be in the constitu-
tion, things that cannot be in the
constitution, and things that may b.a
In the constitution
Under the head Of requirements are
the following the constitution must
provide for a republican form Of gov
ernment; there must be no political
or civil distinction ON account of race,
color or previous condition of servi-
tude; there must be no provisions re-
pugnant to the constitution Of the
United States nor to tile federal stat
utes; there must BE religious freedom;
polygamy must be prohibited; prohi-
bition must be provided for the Indian
Territory end OF the new state for at
least q years; the new state must
disclaim any right or title to unap-
propriated public lands; property Of
the United States must be exempt
from taxation; the debt Of the terri
tory Of Oklahoma must be assumed;
public school system free from secta-
rian control must be established.
Outside OF these subjects, the con-
! stitution may deal with any question
whatsoever.
In concluding his remarks the
Judge gave the editors sUme advice.
He said: ut is NY hei!ef that the
Republican party stands for every
thing now known or to become known
for the upbuiIdlng of the freedom and
integrity Of humankind, We, there
fore, do not have to debase ourselves
TO personalities and preiudlces; we ap-
peal to principle: we have something
stable to build on. You editors have
more to tell than your columns will
hold without exposing the frailities
OF individual Democrats. Leave
these things alone; deal with the live
issues that confront tile people Of
Oklahoma, and the Republican party
will wiz
Judge Gill then answered a number
Of questions asked by the editors. He
said an educational qualification for
voting would be constitutional pro-
yided it did not discriminate against
any race. He said that the ccnstitu-
tional convention could define county
boundaries and establish county seats,
but said that in his opinion it would
be best to leave this to the legislature,
as the convention, if it takes up this
subject will have but little time left
for the ma king Of a constitution.
There was some discussion by the

Million IN Old Iron Along Canal.

The sale of 1900 tons of cast
iron junk on the Isthmus of
Panama for $50, 900 recently has
encouraged the Canal Commits
sion to believe they have a small
fortune in worthless machinery
purchased from the French Canal
Company. The lot of scrap iron
sold was assembled on a few
acres of ground, which Chief En-
gineer Stevens found it necessary
to clear in order to construct new
switching yards for the Panama
Railroad. One of the officials of
the Canal Commission said that
there were thirty miles of ground
strewn with similar machinery.
He roughly calculated that when
this machinery is gathered up it
will be worth one million dollars
or more. Among the items that
will figure in this scrap are 240
Belgian engines that are equipp-
ed with copper boilers and bronze
tubes.

Our Boys.

No subject can be mentioned
which is of greater moment to
the State than the proper educa-
tion, treatment and training of
boys who are to be the business
men and citizens of the future.
The wealthy man is able to give
his boy every advantage and to
his credit, be it said, does gener-
ally give as much as the boy will
take. The man of average means
sends his boy to the public
school, where he expects him to
acquire not only the ground work
of an education, but by the dis
cipline maintained, habits Of
obedience, promptness, regulan-
ty and general attention to du-
ties.
But there is a large class who
are compelled to utilize, at quiet
an early age, the services OF their
boys to help support the family.
Such parents, who may live in
cities, seek for these boys en-
ployment for which they are SUPP
posed to be fitted. Many boys
who start out this way in life
come afterwards to be numbered
among the best citizens of the
State. This is the case when the
boy receives good training and
fair treatment and when also he
avails himself Of the opportuni-
ties to rise which these offer,
when he does his part. The pa.
rent. whether voluntarily or com
pulsorily, who calls thus early OF
his boy for service owes it to nix

formance Of his duties, by re-
quirement, as well as by advice,
that the training he receives in
this employment will be of bene-
fit to him in advancing his for
tunes Many corporations in this
State have occasion to employ
boys. If, in this, the boy shows
6delity only, he is sure to receive
his reward, but aptness, added
to fidelity, increases his chances,
Telegraph, telephone and dis
trict messenger companies, the
newspapers, the postollice and
many large stores depend on
boys to render their important
services Whether good or bad
service is rendered makes all the
difference in the world. It is to
the interest of these employers
to give fair treatment and reus-
enable compensation, for this 5e-

to have. Inquiry will show that
the boy against whom no com.
plaint is lodged is on the road to
promotion-on the way to oe
chosen for more important duties
and better pay. Boys can have
fair share of fun and yet do

A stout little woman on an

ed around anXiously for seats for
the children who were with her.

in their arms, according to the

the car did not know whether it
was an orphans home picnic or

conductor, "but you have given
me only eight tickets"

woman, as she kept her eye on

thought the woman had only
eight tickets.
