10 spite of the abuse and ridicule
of the Republican press, the consti-
tutional Convention Of Oklahoma has
formulated to be submitted to the
people Of tine twin territories and
then to the President a Constitution
which could hardly be improved upon.
There is no doubt that the voters will
ratify it almost UNANIMOUSLY and the
President will certainly pass favor
ably upon 1t. 1t complies with every
detail Of the enabling act, which
makes it mandatory upon the presi.
dent to issue his proclamation. The
omission Of the Jim Grow" clause
was undoubtedly wise, although had
there been a real need for it in the
constitution 1t might as well have
gone In Mr.. Roosevelt has not the
power TO accept or reject the new
state. His duty is simply to issue

The Democrats have practically
killed the municipal campaign In this
city by putting good men on a straight
ticket for council and city clerk. The
Republicans are not SO much stirred
up as when some maIcontents are
seeking to get into ofice TO punish the
members of their own party. 1t looks
now like there would be an entire alb
sence Of mud singing and bitterness
during the compaign and that when

ABOUT THE
TELEGRAPHERS BILL
RAILROAD NOTES OF INTEREST,
CONCERNING MANY LIVE
SUBJECTS.

WHEELING, Feb. 2s.-The tele-
graph operators In this vicinity r
particularly busy discussing the bill
passed by the Senate at Charleston
regarding the eight.hour a day prop
osition. For quite a while after the
bill was made public, before It's pas.
sage, great Joy teigned among the
knights Of the clicks" in this city
concerning the advantage or the eight
hour proposition, In fact, the discus
cussion was SO great that the matter
of investigating the particulars of the
bill, but since its passage, all the ope.
rators have supplied themselves with
a copy of the bill and have diligent.
ly studied its contents, much Ito their
satisfaction.
The result of their study OF the
bill reveals the fact mat its effect will
not be felt by half as many operators
as at first enjoyed the news of the
bill, as it STIMULATES the amount OF
duty which must b. performed in or.
der to obtain the eisht.hour adoption,
and in the majority " cases, operators
and dtspatchers in this city do not re-
celye a sufficient amount of business
to allow their services to come under
the protection of the bill.
The train dispatchers in this city
employed by the B. and o. have been
enjoying the eight.honr day, and con-
sequently its passage will not grant
them any favors, while on other lines
business is not of a sufficient magni-
tude as to allow them to come under
the classification OF e~tght.hour day
operators.
With those operators in this State.
very few perform sufficient work as
laid out in the new bill to place them,
in the category OF lucky ones, and
consequently It matters not to a ma,
jority OF the telegraph men whether
the bill is passed or not.
In some Offices, While the sending
or receiving of train orders does not
amount to that specified in the bill,
which Is 80 train orders. the bill does
not mention the matter of a repetition
of messages. nor does 1t make n
provision for underlined messages.
both Of the above necessltating the
equal OF two messages, which would
run the total over that OF 30. us stated
in the ball. The only orlces In this
city which 1t Is likely will be affected,
is the train dispatcher's Office at the
Wheeling and Terminal station, whert,
despatchers Plank and Haglock are
employed.
The operators in towers will be guild.
ed entirely with regard to the adop.
ton Of the eight.hour scale as to the
number Of trains passing EACH other
at that point OF office, which viii
eliminate much e~lght-hour plan. The

Terminal has not been officials notl-
fled Of the passage Of the bill. but
some word in this DIRECTION is expect

Don't Get Excited.

History does not depend on acct
dents. The growth of the race is to-
ward a definite goal. The rain at
Waterloo made no history. Gettysburg
was not scratch. If fate drops a
stitch here, she picks it up there. The
thread goes on. The current of life
moves. The individual plays his part
his little part-and sinks. but there is
no hole in the stream when he goes
under, whether he be president or
plumber, king or carpenter. SO don't
get excited about your fate Do the
best you can, and, above all. be calm !
