The Case Of Oklahoma.

President Roosevelt will act very I'M
wisely If he yields to the advice of
political buccaneers who are trying to
keep Oklahoma out of the Union on
most fiimsy pretexts. The American
people love justice. and they know that
million brave pioneers are entitled
to constitute state. Under the above
title tine Washington Herald. an indie
pendent paper. recently published this
vigorous editorial:
The grand old party must be hard up
for something to do when its leaders
conspire to prevent the admission of Ok
lahoma on the grounds so far alleged to
justify opposition to the entry of that
state into the Union. Startling discov-
cries are made daily as to the shortcom-
ings of the new constitution. 1t has not
made sufficient provision for public edu-
cation, it gerrymanders the state and
worse than all, 1t bears too hard on cor
porations.
These are ostensible objections The
real ones are even less plausible, but
much more convincing from a party
standpoint. They are that the new state
appears to be hopelessly Democratic and
that II state government is set up an
army of federal employees would be out
OF jobs Behind the whole agitation against
statehood stand corporate interests only
too anxious to avoid the regulation and
control which the provisions OF the con-
stitution seek to set up over them.
1t seems almost incredible that the aid
of President Roosevelt and Secretary
Taft should be invoked to carry out a
conspiracy composed of such unsavory ell
ements and designed to accomplish such
maiodorous purposes. 1t may be that the
constitution trainers Of Oklahoma have
made mistakes. but there is ample provi-
sion for their rectification, and, strangely
enough, the ease with which the consti-
tuition may be amended by means of the
Initiative and referendum is one OF the
reasons given by the conspirators for re-
fusing admission to the new state
In fact. all the objections SO far made
to the constitution are trivial and absurd.
New York is SO badly gerrymandered that
Governor Hughes cannot stand for it. but
he is having considerable trouble getting
the matter rectified. The dominant party
might better turn Its enginery of reform
upon the Empire State instead of carpinR
at the errors OF our newest common
wealth.

G. Cannon of the house of representatives

pleasant interview. Both afterward de-
ciared that their talk was of a general
character.
Speaker Cannon deprecated in his con-
versation with the newspaper men in the
executive chamber today the talk thus
early of favorite sons for the presiden-
tiai nomination. He told how he felt
about 1t by giving dog story as an Illus

The speaker was asked to give his i'm
preston that some tares had got into the
wheat and that people thought it good
thing to get some one to separate the
tares from the good grain. while they
should continue to work in the wheat
fields. and they considered that Governor

IN NAVY,
SLOW, SAYS GOGHLAN
OFFICERS SHOULD BE ADVANCED
RAPIDLY TO GIVE OPPORTUNITY
TO GAIN EXPERIENCES.

NEW YORK. June 3.-Admiral j. b.
Cognlan, who retired from the navy
Saturday, in a published interview to-
day after advocating a big navy for
this country, makes a plea Tor what
he deems an important reform. He
said:
There is one important reform
which our navy should adopt The
law of promotion should be promptly
changed so as to give our senior Off
GERS more opportunity for actual prac-
tice in the handling of fleets. AS it is
now, an officer is well along toward
the sixty-year mark before he reaches
the grade of captain and gets com
mand of single ship. BY the time
they make him rear-admiral and ask
him to handle a big squadron of war
vessels, he is about ready to quit the
service altogether.
This is absolutely wrong. You can
not educate naval officer on theory
alone. You must give him practice
as we'll A man can study in books
the art of running an automobile, but
if he tries it without practical expert
ence he will find himself at the bot
tom of ditch or in some ones. back
yard This is equally true of the fleet
commander called upon to maneuver a
squadron of warships in the last year
or two Of his active service.
I'm this test of skill the American
officers fall short of perfection, but IN
nothing else. They are men of educa-
ton, splendid courage and superb pro-
Jfessional techniq(e. But our rear
admirals must be given more time to
master the practical part of their
duties"

will was admitted to probate on June
26, 1900, and by February 10, 1902, all
legacies, debts and expenses has been
paid. The final accounts and petition
for discharge were filed August rs,
1902, but the discharge was not ap,
proved until July 8, 1905. The execu-
trix and executors were ordered to dis
tribute to themselves as trustees un-
der the will of deceased all of the prop
erty in hand belonging to the estate.
They were finally discharged on July
%, 1905. Later the advice of the
court was sought. 1t was held in an
opinion that under the will the widow
and four children were not entitled to
share in the income until after the adj
ministration had been closed and the
estate distributed to the trustees. But
no question as to the date when this
administration ceased was submitted.
The present prayer was to have the
court fix when the administration end
ed and the estate was distributed to
the trustees. The demurrers which
were filed by E. NJ Watson, guardian
ad lib for the Kawananakoa minors,
and e. H. Derby, guardian ad lib of
the Macfarlane minors, held, in the
main, that it appeared from the bill
when the administration closed. The
demurrers were sustained and the bill
dismissed. The present appeal was
then taken.
The courts sums up the matter as
follows in the syllabus: Where the
income of a testator's residuary estate
is given to the widow and children for
lIIe and the will prescribes the date OF
the order of distribution as the time
from which such income should be
paid (Which date IN this case was July
8, 1905), the widow and children are
only entitled to income which accrues
from and after that date"
In discussing the case the opinion
also says: 1T is argued that the tes-
| tatOr never intended the children and
widow to be deprived of income for
Il AAASAS NAeAh lhACC years dtI6I lI6 du-
] ministration should have been closed
and the decree of distribution made.
The difficulty with that contention is
that he has said in clear and unmis-
taxable language what income is to be
paid the widow and children and when
its payment is to begin. That he did
not intend that the widow and chill
dren should be without income at any
time probably is so, and he provided
against just such a contingency by di-
recting payment of family allowance
during administration and family
maintenance and income administra,

be carried to the Supreme Court of the
