Gets Glad Hand, Nit!

J. s. Fischer, who by some unknown
means, succeeded in being appointed
U $. Commissio ner for Texhoma, over
a resident of that town, who had long
string of petitioners asking for his ap-
pointm ant, did not receive a very hear
ty welcome upon his arrival at Texhoma
few weeks ago.
No doubt Fischer expected the Brass
Band out to meet him and a banquet
but he didn't even get pleasant look
and merely escaped being drummed
out Of town. so we are informed. At
any rate, he returned to Beaver quite
suddenly and remained until things
cooled off some, then ventured back
again last week
We can't blame the peop.e of Texho-
ma. Fischer's rep" had preceded him
and beside that they felt like they had
plenty of good men at home and did
not appr sciate ''carpet-bagger" being
thrust upon them.

ADOPT the Constitution.

As has perhaps been noticed, the
HERALD has refrained from advocating
the adoption or rejection of the Con-
slitution, which will be submitted to
the voice Of the people at the coming
election in August. We have refrained
from speaking our opinion because. of
the fact that the Constitution was not
yet completed and was subject to
change before final signing and sealing.
Another reason has been that the Re-
publican party had not decided as to
what course they would take and the
HEnALD, always willing to sacrifice the
personal feeling of the editor for the
principles agreed to be right by the
party, was waiting for developments.
But, at this stage of the game it ap-
pears that opinion differs-many PROM
inent Republicans being of the opinion
that the adoption Of the Constitution
would be a drawback to Oklahoma.
while others, just as prominent and in
fluential, advocate the adoption of the
Constitution as preferable to losing
statehood and base their opinion on
the fact the legislature--which is sure
to be Republican--can remedy many
OF the evils.
The HERALD has stood for the adop-
tion Of the Constitution and thus the
acceptance of Statehood first, last and
all the time. We would not stand for
such action were the measures contain
ed therein final and could not be
reached by Legislation but such is not
the case. The first Legislature, which
is sure to be Republican, can remedy
many provisions and since those bodies
must assemble why not adopt the Con-
stitution and let one expense cover the
transaction.
Another Constitutional delegate
election, another Constitutional Con-
vention and another Constitutional
ratification election would all mean a
big expenditure of money and in the
end might terminate very much the
same, to say nothing of delaying State
hood.
Another question. Why puta tick
ct in the field and strive to defeat the
measure that created such a ticket?
What could we do with state officials
elected and no state over which to pre-
side?
Better oppose the adoption of the

Florence Gavin, daughter of ex-Gov-
ernor Gavin, of Rhode Island lately
made telling point in answer to the
objection that women are Indifferent
about voting. She called attention to
the fact that in Providence where 3d.
600 men are eligible to vote, but 1871
qualified last year and the year before
only 1900, though thousands of dol
lars were spent by both parties in or
der to get these men out. If, after
more than a century of training in
politics, so many men are Indifferent,
it is no wonder that many women are
Indifferent too. But that is no reason
why the more public-spirited minority
of either sex, who are willing to per-
form their political duties, should be
forbidden to do SO. Miss Gavin might
cite as another example the less than
10 per cent Of the registered voters of
Detroit, who voted at the city election
April 2nd.

prb1ic arvic Cornoration On the 9Th day of March, inst, the
Elizabeth & Raritan River Street Company, operated and controlled
by the Public Service Corporation, made application before HIS
Honor F. I Swayze. an associate Justice of the Supreme Court, Tor

the Jersey Central Traction Company and render it legally Impossible
for it to avail itself of the rights and privileges conferred by the or
already referred to- The Public Service Corporation in the
moving paper sets forth that it Cor rather the subsidiary corporation,
namely. the Elizabeth & Rartan River Street Railroad Company is
a taxpayer in the Borough of South Amboy and that 1t is aggIleVed
nv reason of the fact that there is some defect in the consents oil
property owners which were filed with the common council and which
The law requires to be filed before the ordinance is passed. 1t would
eem clear that this proceeding after all is not a n attempt upon the
part of some injured taxpayer, to right a wrong, but is designed pl-
marily and wholly as a scheme to prevent competition and confirm
the Public Service Corporation in its present monopoly: The tax
payers of the Borough of South Amboy have unanimously approved
the passage of the ordinance and have in various ways shown their
interest in the enterprise and rendered valuable assistance. The pub
lie has generally recognized that the proposed construction is along
the line of DEVELOPMENT, convenience and utility and have accordingly
welcomed the project. 1t would seem clear that the legal proceedings
have emanated from no disnterested spirit but merely for the pur-
nose of preventing this development and thus by selfish means protect

to this point, Mr.. Jerome made what

intent to charge Mr.. Hartridge with
unprofessional conduct. He based his
implied threat, he explained, on what
might have but had not developed.

was approved, it might be stated that it was passed by unanimous
vote; that upon each occasion when the hearings were ihdd, a large
the passage of the ordinance and when finally, after violent opposl-
ton presented by the paid officers and servants of the Public Service
Corporation, the ordinance was finally adopted, the citizens gathered
in the council chamber and expressed their approval by vociferous
applause.
The legal grounds upon which it is sought to have the ordinance
declared void ire numerous and need not be here presented in de-
tail. 1t is enough to say that they are highly technical in character
and that neither the ahdavts filed nor the moving papers disclose
even by inference that any one would be injured II ANNOYED by the
proposed construction except such injury as might result TO the Pub
lie Service Corporation from fair competition The eertorari pro
ceedings will, of course, be defended vigorously by the Jersey Cen
trail Traction Company and every effort will be made to reach a
speedy determination. No matter how this litigation may terminate
the public and the company must both suffer by reason of delay. The
officers of the company, who have always dealt in good faith with the
municipalities through which their lines are operated have deemed 1t
important that the public should understand the present posture OF
affairs and appreciate that the delay in carrying ut Tn con-
struction is not by reason of their fault.
The foregoing is believed by us to be one illustration OF the
methods pursued by the Public Service Corporation in protecting It's
monopoly and avoiding competition at the expense of public con
vonience and to the injury of other corporations. Other acts OF the
Public Service and of recent occurrence in dealing with the South
Amboy situation, will be presented to the public within a few days,
