Will Permit Them to Vote.

Guthrie, Okla, July e-There no
longer appears any doubt that many
changes will be in the constitution
when the convention meets this week.
Haskell Saturday sent for the mem
bers Of the Spanish War Veterans
union, which condemned the disfran-
chisement Of soldiers and informed
them he would have this provision
changed to permit Oklahoma boys in
the army or navy to vote. This is all
that has been demanded.
Ed Cassidy Of Shawnee, chairman
Of the Democratic campaign commit
tee said that the election would be
held between September ! and 10 and
that President Murray will file the
constitution. Changes will be made
in legislature apportiontment, he
says. Delegate George Henshaw, of

AS OBJECT LESSON
REAL IDEA IN SENDING FLEET
TO THE PACIFIC
SO BROWNSON INTIMATES
The Admiral Says Movement is De-
sirable and Important to
Show Other Nations

Oyster Bay, N. Y. July S-The sig
nificance of Rear Admiral Brownson's s
addition to the somewhat meager in
formation which has come from Presi-
dent Roosevelt regarding the contem-
plated two-ocean maneuver Of the At
lantic battleship fleet is regarded here
as having been overlooked in the COM
ment, expert and otherwise, which
has since been INDUCED in on both con-
tinents.
Admiral Brownson came to Oyster
Bay Friday to take lunch with the
president processing entire ignorance
Of the maneuYer plans, When he left
Sycamore Hill to take the train for
Washington the admiral mad one
thought which he wished to empha-
size-that it was desirable and impor-
tant to demonstrate to the world how
quickly the American navy could tran
fer its fighting strength from one
ocean to the other.
NEED OF A LARGE NAVY
This was distinctly an addition to
the presidents previous statement is
used through Secretary Loeb wherein
the object Of the maneuver was said
TO be an exercise movement for the
benefit Of the navy, to perfect its
training in feet exercise on an extend
ed scale, the purpose and effect Of the
plan being for the benefit Of the navy
alone.
What came from President Roose-
velt through Admiral Brownson is de-
cidedly a different and much broader
design. President Roosevelt has been
consistent in advocating large navy
as the snrest guarantee Of peace be-
tween the United States and all for
eign powers. Heretofore a large navy
has been reckoned solely for the point
of view Of the number of ships, their
tonnage, armor, guns and fighting ca
pacity With this idea the American |
navy has grown steadily, ship by ship.
AS AN OBJECT LESSON
To the somewhat Uninteresting ar
ray Of ships and tonnage President
now proposes TO give the
world somewhat startling demonstra-
ton Of what the Americannavy is cap
able Of doing to protect either or both
of the extended. shores of the United
States. AS Admiral Brownson said.
There is no time like the present for
such demonstration, time when
The United States is at perfect peace
with every nation.
In everything that has come from
lhe president regarding the movement
It has been indicated that the feet,
it may 60, is TO be brought
back to the Atlantic, aud that the re-
urn is to be made as great a demon
Of speed as the outward jour
ley.

Red Men organization, Of which our
friend and brother was a member, took
charge, composed of about thirty mem
bers mostly from Loeb Lynn, Oakland
and few from this place. Their SER

1t was the pleasure Of the writer TO
know our dead friend from his early
manhood and know | voice the senti-
ment of all our citizens when say this
kind and generous friend had not an
enemy in the large circle of his acquaint-
ances, both home and abroad
At his trade, that of painter and up

B. and o. Hotel managers to do the ar
tistic work at the hotel and cottages,
and as landscape amateur artist he
had talent of merit, as the many
paintings that adorn his late home at
test.
Whilst his loving wife and devoted
sons and daughters miss his sunny
smiles and devotion, his many friends
of this place miss his cordial greetings
and think of his many, many acts of
kindness and his genial hospitality in
his home
Our good kind friend, whilst he had
as we all have, his human weakness at
times, he had his noble and generous
qualities that overbalanced all his little
faults ten thousand times.
With tear. we say, farewell

confirmed invalid, rheumatism having
rendered her perfectly helpless. Her
death is attributed to the inroads made
upon her system by this insidious dis

was member of the NJ. E. church and
was strengthened in her faith, even
though terribly afflicted. She was born
at Aurora, West Va, more than fifty
six years ago, being a daughter of the
late John S. McCrum of that village
She was married thirty-iive years ago,
her husband having preceded her to the

Tina Garlitz, of Avilton, both shocked
and saddened her many friends in this
vicinity last Monday evening about 6
O'Clock. The death angel lowered over
the bed all day, while her friends wait

the ghost and the angel with her soul in
keeping took its flight into fairer
cline than this. She seemed to know
by heavenly instinct that the fame of
life was Pickering and ere long would
pass into eternity. She was the faith
