Presiding Elder Smith.

In noting the fact that Presiding
Elder w. F. Smith having served
this district four years must neces-
sarily be given a new appointment
at the approaching conference, the
Shellman Sun says: No minister
who has ever served in the Ameri-
Gus district, either as presiding elder
or pastor, was better liked and ap-
preciated as a minister than Rev.
w. F. Smith. He is very popular as
a presiding officer, as a preacher and
for his congeniality. His friends
hope that wherever he is stationed
he will enjoy a pleasant home and
charge"

about twice the amount of piping
here that it would in the ordinary
town of 1000.
Mr.. Preston inspected the work
that had been done by his surveying

Cmarron Bridge, via Kinghsher,
Okla, Sept. 49, Contrary to last
nights reports, it developed today
that twenty persons who are known
to have occupied the smoker on the
Rock Island train that went into the
river near Dover are unaccounted for.
Efforts are being made TO locate the
smoker, which was last seen at point
ITO yards below the bridge. A strong
eddy there is believed to mark the
spot where the smoker sank.
Altho the water has fallen five feet
since yesterday, not trace Of either
the engine, baggage car or smoker
can be seen.
None of the persons who escaped
saw anyone leave the smoker except
four persons who stood OH the roof Of
the wrecked car, and who were knock
ed off into the river and finally rescued
several miles down the stream cling
ing to debris
There was an additional death to-
day, the three year old son Of Mrs.
Kate Sells of Payne, Ohio, who died
of strangulation, caused by inhaling
sand and water.
Mrs. Robinson, an aged woman from
Enid, Okla, one Of the injured, can
not live. Postal Clerk Campbell Of
Fort Worth is among the missing.
b. P. Nichols, the only person known
to have escaped from the smoker,
said today that at least ten persons
were riding in that Car when it went
down. Conductor Thomas says there
were nine or ten in the smoker

INSIST UPON IT
Correspondent Urges I'm
portance of the Initiative
and Referendum

To the Editor of The Chieftain
Sir-During the last two days of the
fair held at Centralia last week, there
were several speeches made by parties
aspiring to the position Of delegate to
the constitutional convention, and as
the all-important part Of their sub
ject seemed to be the initiative and
referendum, please allow few re-
marks along that line.
The Democratic candidate from vi
nita. Mr.. Kornegay, seems to me to
be rather inconsistent on this point.
The whole tenor Of his speech seemed
to be against the rascals that are in
power and an appeal to the people to
send their best and honest men to the
convention. But when it comes to
the question of leaving the power of
introducing measures or confirming
laws to the votes Of the people, he
says no, no. leave that to the legisla-
tors, who have always been the ras-
Gals.
A great many men still see the Dogie
man of their childhood. The bogie
man in this case is that those who
fear to entrust the actual power to
the whole people, claim there would
be a great deal of confusion if meas
ures were to be initiated by the peo-
pie and that everybody would want to
introduce something new. The facts
of the case, wherever the people have
this clause in their constitution, prove
the reverse.
With this clause in the constitu-
tion the member of the legislature
who kept in touch with the people,
who knew their intellectual and NOR
al aspirations best, would always be
a little ahead and would therefore in
troduce measures and have them re-
ferred to the people for their ratifca-
tion or rejection, knowing that the

as great interest as the visit here OF a

The vote was as follows: Aye:

nay; Badgett, Bagby, Frayser Ap-
propriations must receive majority
vote of all the members Of the coun-
Gil, and this appropriation failed by
just one vote Of receiving such ma

people had the power in their hands
to introduce measures and also
to recall members Self preservation
would thus compel our legislators to
keep ahead or abreast Of the people.
Now in regard to imperative man
date or power Of recall, let me ask
any intelligent business man, any
farmer or manager of men hired Do
you reserve the right to discharge any
man you hire? Yes, Of course. But
because you reserve this right you
don't fire him every month? Ger
tainiy not But when any employe
ceases to work for your interest and
works against your interest you assert
your right, fire him out, and hire an
other. That is business in political
affairs as in any other.
The right to discharge, or the pow
er to recall, is an absolute necessity.
Think Of a business house with agents
out that could not be recalled when
found working against the interest Of
the houses Ruin would be inevitable,
and the chaotic conditions that exist
in great many Of the states prove
this assertion to be true. At the last
elections they we're breaking up ma
chine politics, at this election ma
chimes must be busted that were going
to do away with the other machine,
and at the next election we shall hear
the same cry. This is not because
Office holders are Democrats or Re-
publicans, but on account Of the lack
of a business system in our political
affairs.
Now IN our new state every intelli-
gent voter should, regardless Of party
Affiliations insist on these clauses 90
ing into the constitution, that will
prevent the corrupt and dishonest
methods that have disgraced our old
er sister states from ever having a
foothold in ours. This can only be
done by insisting and compelling ev-
cry candidate, regardless of any party,
to vote for the initiative, referendum
and power Of recall, leaving entire
powerin the hands Of the people.
Voters, read up on this subject; try
to understand it; your children's well
fare and your country's welfare de-
pend on this clause more than on all
the other questions before the Amer
ican people today. J. RATcLIFFE.

George W. Graham, vice president
Of the Oklahoma Western, arrived in
Vinita this morning, and has been in
conference with members Of the rail-
road committee today. Mr.. Graham
has just been in New York, where he
has been comforting with financiers re-
garding the building OF his road. He
stated to a representative of The
Chieftain this morning that he has
succeeded in financing the road, pro-
vidlng the engineers of the capitalists,
on going over the road, find that con-
ditions are as Mr.. Graham represent
ed them. And Of this he Of course
has no doubt.
The New York engineer who repre-
sents the capitalists who will put up
the money will be in Vinita Saturday,
and he and Mr. Graham will leave
from here for trip over the proposed
line as far west as Alya, okla. The
engineer will then make his report,
and, If it is favorable, work will be
commenced at once.

The city council met last night,
with all the members present save
alderman Wallen. Considerable
business was transacted.
The marshal was instructed to sup
ply the necessary supplies and nurse
for the Trentham family, sick with
typhoid.
The offer of J. P. Scott to insure
the boilers at the waterworks plant
for $4,000 for three years for prem
ium of S85 was accepted. The insur-
ance was given to Mr.. Scott because
bis was the first bid received, tho it
was no lower tran the others. The
matter Of cyclone insurance was re-
ferred to the water commissioners.
A petition for sidewalk on Fore
man street between Delaware and
Illinois avenues was received and al
lowed, as it was signed by every prop
erty-owner concerned. The ordinance
committee was instructed to draw up
an ordinance providing for the con-
Suction Of the walk.
The ordinance providing for a
change in the curb line, of all streets,
which has been before the council
during its whole existence, was finally
taken up last night and adopted.
This was not done, however, until an
amendment had been adopted proyid-
ling that the curb line on Canadian
Eayenue shall remain at 20 feet, as it is
now. On all other 100 foot streets
the curb line will be 25 feet from the
property line, while on 80 foot streets
it will be 20 feet, on go foot streets
Is feet
The ordinance providing for the APP
pointment instead Of the election Of
city attorney and street commissioner
was passed to the second reading, af-
ter an amendment had been adopted
adding the assessor and collector to
the number Of officials to be appoint
ed. Two Democrats, Frayser and
Fowler, voted against the ordinance,
while Alderman Crutchfeld, the 9th
er Democrat, voted with the Republi-
cans for it. AS only five votes were
cast in favor of suspending the rules,
the ordinance cannot be passed until
the next meeting.
A genuine surprise party was sprung
Just at this point. Alderman Wilk-
inson, Republican, introduced reso-
luton for the appropriation of s25 to-
wards the decoration Of the city for
Bryan day, Mr. Wilkinson arguing
that the city should do this much, ir-
respective of party, for an occasion of

visit other points on the proposed
line, but viii return Saturday and at
that time Will confer with the rail-
road committee to see what Vinita
can do towards furnishing right Of
way, terminal facilities and bonus.
The Oklahoma Western will make no
proposition to tie citizens; whether
the road comes here or not depends on
the encouragement offered by Vinita.
This line running west through
Bartlesville, Pawhuska, the Usage
nation and northern Oklahoma to
Alya, crossing numerous trnnk lines,
would be Of immense benefit to Vini-
ia. If it is possible to secure 1t for
this city. 1t ought to be secured.
Nothing more has been heard from
Mr.. Porter relative to his visit in re-
gard to the northwest and southeast
ropd, but he and his engineer, Mr..
Gillespie, will be hear the latter part
OF the week to confer with the rail-
road committee. This, too, Is an ex-
cellent and much-needed road, and if
Vinita could secure them both her
future would be secure.
