YEAR
Will Begin Week After
Next in Vinita'S
Schools

On Monday, September 10, Vinitas
public schools will open for another
years work. The buildings are all in
readiness, and the teachers are re-
turning to town from their vacations,
Principal w. I. Ford having come
back Sunday from Kentucky, where
he spent the greater part of the sum-
mer.
At least one new grade will be add
ed to the schools this year, and doubt
less the board will conclude to add
both a ninth and tenth, since Prof.
Ford has said that two grades will
be no more expensive than one. This
will be the beginning of Vinita's
high school 1T is estimated that not
far from twenty-five pupils will form
the entering class, judging from the
number who last spring expressed a
desire to continue their education in
Vinita's schools.
The enrolment this year, it is ex-
pected, will be larger than ever before,
even if the Mars addition is not
brought into the city. There has
been a considerable growth, slow but
steady, in the school population. If
Mars addition is annexed there will
be number of new pupils who at
present have no school facilities. A
number of the children who live in
the addition are Cherokees, and so en-
titled to admission to the city schools,
but their superiority in this respect
will end on March 4, and thereafter
all will be denied admission unless the
addition is annexed at the coming
election.
Willie Halsell college will open its
doors Wednesday, September IL. Pres
jdent Anderson expects very good
attendance. Inquiries, especially
from out of town points, have been
numerous, and the prospect is for a
much larger enrolment than last
year, and for a better school in every
way. President Anderson and his
brother have been indefatigible in
their efforts to advertise the school,
which well deserves the support Of all
citizens, if for no other reason, then
for the advertising it gives the city

Committees of Two Ter
ritories Will AM
algamate

Today's Muskogee Phoenix contains
the following account of the meeting
Of the Republican executive commit
tee at McAlester yesterday in a special
dispatch from McAlester, dated yes
terday:
AS a result Of the meeting Of the
Indian Territory Republican Execu-
tive Committee held here today, a
registration plan will be placed in
operation over the entire Indian Ter
ritory, Immediately following the ap-
pointment of election commissions
ers and the subsequent establishment
of precincts, for the purpose of deter
mining upon a correct basis of repre-
sentauion in the selection Of delegates
to the various constitutional dele
gate district conventions. The NOM
mating convention in all districts will
be held on Tuesday, October 9, at 2
o'clock. The precinct conventions
will be held Thursday, October q at
2 O'Clock to select delegates to the
district convention.
Heretofore the number Of mem
bers of the Republican clubs in the
recording districts in Indian Terri
tory was a basis Of representation in
selecting delegates to all conven-
tions. Owing to the fact that many
of the club rolls have not been kept
up and in certain precincts there is
no club organization, some new
method was necessary. In each pre-
cinct in the delegate districts, a COM
mittee of three members will be ap-
pointed to open registration books,
advertising what days the books will
be open in order that Republicans
may register. This committee ap-
pointed by the members of the Exc
cutive Committee having control Of
the district has power TO call pre-
cinct convention to select delegates
to the constitutional delegate con-
vention. The plan of the committee
in detail is given below.
Chairman Victor of the commit
tee was authorized and directed tc
appoint Finance Committee con-
sisting of seven members, establish
Press Bureau at headquarters, ar
range for a speakers Bureau and tc
name seven men who will consider
the question of platform IN con
nection with the constitutional dele
gate conventions. William Busby
we'll known in Indian Territory as q
financier will be chairman Of the
finance Committee the announce
ment being made tonight by Chair
man Victor just before leaving fol
his home Ia Alton.
BY resolution Chairman Victor was
instructed to take up the matter ol
amalgamating the two Territorial
Republican committees and if in his
judgement it shall be deemed advis
able that the committees be joined,
he is empowered to arrange for the
calling of joint meeting for that
purpose. There has been talk Of
consolidating the two committees,
but today's action is the first time
that steps have been taken in this
direction by the Indian Territory or.

GAS COMPANY HAS
FURNISHED BOND
City Council at Last Nights Meeting
Closed Contract and Held a
Lively Meeting.

At last nights meeting OF the city
council the bond OF the Warren
company, that has been so long de-
layed, was at last received and ap-
proved. w. T, Thompson, attorney
for the company, was present and ex-
planned that the delay in securing the
bond, which is for SIS, 900 for the faith
full execution of the companys con-
tract with the city under the gas
ordinance recently passed, was un-
avoidable, but from this time on the
company win press things, and expects
to have gas in Vinita by December l,
as is promised in the ordinance.
Mr.. Thompson stated that Manager
Priestly would be in the city Thurs
day and wished TO confer with the
gas committee. A part at least Of
the pipe is now on the way, and Mr..
Thompson has been notified to begin
at once securing the right OF way for
the pipe line into the city.
The company's bond is executed by
the United States Fidelity g. Guaran-
ty company of Baltimore.
At last nights meeting all the
aldermen were present save w. r..
Badgett, J. P. Scott submitted a
proposition for boiler insurance for
the waterworks plant, Offering $4,000
insurance, with quarterly inspection
for three years, for 1885, Acceptance
of the proposition was delayed until
the next meeting in order to give the
water commission time to secure
other bids
/ A resolution was passed permitting
the Sells-Forepaugh show to exhibit
its street parade in Vinita on Octob-
er 10 on payment Of a license Of S25.
The regular llcence is 800, but this
includes show grounds, while the
Sells-Forepaugh show will exhibit in
the ball park, there being no grounds
large enough within the city limits.
Alderman Wallen moved that S25
be appropriated to pay the court ex-
penses incident to che Incorporation
into the city Of the Mars addition.
Alderman Frayser protested against
bringing in any additions, saying
there is already too much vacant
ground within the city limits. He
said Mars addition would be brought
In, if at all, against his most strenu-
Gus protest. He denied that the Pc
tition for annexation was signea by
the owners Of majority Of the prop
erty, and when told that merely a
majority of the taxpayers was reQuir-
ed, without reference to the extent Of
their holdings, protested vigorously
against such injustice lie owns
considerable property in the district
affected.
Alderman Bagby said that he be-
lleved that the cost Of the court pro-
ceedings should be borne by the citi-
zens who desire annexation. not by
the city. When a vote was taken,
however, all the aldermen voted in
favor Of the appropriation except Al
dermen Bagby and Frayser,
Alderman Crutchfeld, who was a
member of the committee appointed
to confer with the school board rela-
tive to the establishment Of two
grades of a high school this fall, re-
ported that President T. NJ. Bufing-
ton Of the board had told him that
the board had already decided to en-
ploy an additional teacher and add

THE COUNTY LEVY.

We publish today the county levy
made by the Board of County Commits
sioners at their meeting last week.
The Commissioners provide literally
in the levy for all public purposes, levy
ing for schools and the erection of
school buildings $19, 900; for public high
ways a sum approaching $4,000, and
for new bridges the sum Of $4,000 all
necessary and for the public good.
The Commissioners, while providing
these three sums, which represents
nearly one-half of the taxes levied and
to be collected, shave been enabled to
materially reduce the tax rate, the
amount this year for county purposes
being but 90 cents on the $100. With
the State rate of 233 cents on the
500, the people this year will be called
upon to pay S1.155 cents upon each 500
worth OF assessed property.
We congratulate the Commissioners
for the work so well done.

Our ResrefS.

Under the above caption last week S
issue of the Piedmont Herald, with ref
erence to the removal from Piedmont
Of Rev. w. w. Davis, who was recently
elected superintendent of the Mountain
Lake Park Association, says:
ON the removal from our midst of
Rev. w. w. Davis, for three years
past the pastor Of the First Methodist
Episcopal church of Piedmont, this COM
munity loses a public spirited citizen of
the most aggressive type. He was ever
foremost in whatever he conceived to
be an advance along the line of culture
and development, morally, mentally,
physical, and spiritually. His personal
ity has been of that character that en-
abled him to make himself factor to
be reckoned with when he entered the
lists for recognition, and the town, the
people, and all their interests, are the
better off for knowing him and working
with him. We are sure that the best
wishes of those that esteem him 90
with him into his new field of labor,
and the hope is expressed that many of
US shall continue to meet him often.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
UNNECESSARY.

The people Of Maryland will vote next
year upon the question of calling q Con-
stitutional Convention. This is very
important matter and should receive
the thoughtful consideration of the peo-
pie. When this is given the subject
we feel confident that the conclusion
will be reached that the public welfare
does not require it and that in the pre-
sent condition of affairs it is not only
unnecessary but will be dangerous eX-
pertinent. In the early days of the Re
public it was not uncommon to proclaim
newly framed Constitutions without
submitting the same to a vote of the
people. But this was in the formative
period when the election system was
new and crude. In the development of
Republican form Of government the
closer the powers of government are
kept within the control of the people
themselves the surer are they of the
preservation of their liberties. Since
1900 the rule has been to submit changes
in State Constitutions to the people
with some notable exceptions. Virginia
wanted to disfranchise a certain portion
of her citizens and therefore, did not
give them a chance to vote it down.
Notwithstanding the provisions in the
present Constitution of Maryland, which
says that no new Constitution shall go
into effect until the voters have sane
toned it at the polls, it is believed that
this would not bind a Constitutional
Convention which is supreme as soon as
it convenes. The Democratic machine
is still welded to the defeated and dis
credited Poe Disfranchisement Amend
ment and it is believed they would be
glad of the chance to slip in such plan
without making any noise about it, in
the event of the organization Democrats
controlling the convention. The pres
ent instrument may be capable of i'm
provement but it is much safer to Cen
dure the ills we now have than to fly to
those we know not Of. Bre'r Fox
needs watching as Uncle Remus would
say. A good deal Of fuss is made by
certain regular Democrats, because the
Republicans voted against bill provid-
ing for submitting the question to be
voted on next year. The present Con
stitution says the Legislature shall pre-
vide for taking the sense of the pc,
pie, ION this subject every twenty year.
The Republicans took the ground thai
under our present dishonest election
laws when ii is known that from fifty
to one hundred thousand qualified voters
are unable to master its intricacies, the
''sense Of the people" cannot be taken.
They were willing to submit the ques-
ton if the majority party would provide
honestly for taking the sense of the
people, as both the letter and spirit of
the Constitution required. Some worthy
people profess to believe chat in voting
against the proposition the Republicans
violated their oaths, but the shoe is on
the other foot The Democrats have
stubbornly refused to obey the Consti-
tuition by failing to provide honest laws
for a free expression Of the popular
will.
