which the Rock Island party wrested
from E. II. Hartman and his asso-
ciates last June after a contest which
began three years ago, has TO all in

tract is the majority interest owned
by the Rock Island company.
Neither Mr. Hartman nor any of

NAL announcement of it was as much
of surprise to them as to any one
else in the financia! district

said Wednesday that his trip was

1t was said Wednesday that many
of the strikers who have left the city

of telegraphers was broken that way

The first payment of money to the
strikers was made Wednesday, bur it

Taft is Opposed to Oklahoma's Pro.

Secretary of War William H. Taft,
in his speech delivered to the big
gest crowd ever gathered IN Oklaho-
MA City, Saturday night, defined the
issue of the Oklahoma and Indian
Territory State election as twofold;
first, the acceptance or rejection of
the constitution, and second, the cleo
ton of a Republican or Democratic
State and legislative ticket and Unit
ed States Senators. He explained his
attitude as that of Republican, put
ting himself in the place of citizen
of Oklahoma and advising the Re-
publicans of Oklahoma in respect to
the wisdom or otherwise of adopting
the constitution. He disclaimed en-
tirely any authority to speak for the
President, on the subject of the val
idity of the constitution Mr.. Taft
commented at length on the neces-
sity for maintaining the power of the
courts and condemned the require
ment that jury trial should intervene
between an order of injunction and
punishment for its violation. He said
that the writ of injunction was one
of the most beneficial writs that a
court could have and that it is just
as useful in defense OF the poor as
of the rich and any weakening of it
as an instrument for remedying
wrongs, would operate in favor of the
rich malefactor.
He spoke on the hypocrisy of the
trainers of the constitution in pur-
porting to make an instrument by
which the will of the people should
be sustained pure and unde6led, and
then by the merest political trickery
and chanery adopt plan by which
there might be a majority of 10000
for the Republican ticket in the State
and yet be Democratic Legislature
and two Democratic Senators. This
itself, he said, showed what mock
cry an attempt by initiative and ref
erendum to ascertain the true will OF
the people was and how empty their
declaration ''let" the people rule"
The Secretary commented upon the
severe impairment of the system of
education by limitations upon taxa
ton for educational purpo,e ,es, which
in the Indian Territory, it was said
by those who know. would probably
not afford more than two months
education III the year. The constitu-
ton provided for separate schools,
white and negro, and yet made no
provision by taxation for carrying
out any such system. For these rea-
sons the Secretary said that if he
were a citizen of Oklahoma he would
certainly vote for the rejection of the
constitution, because he believed that
1t was great deal easier % reject the
constitution than to amend it SO as to
eliminate its defects. and he would
be confident as a citizen that the next
Congress would come to the aid of
the people of Oklahoma by a new
enabling act and new convention.

important features in the fashions.
Great pains must be taken to make
the finish OF the neck attractive. In
many of the stocks and chemisettes
are introduced one or more colors,
and on some are found gold or silver
threads or cords Of embroidery, piping
or application. Al pretty stock is made
of interlaced folds of pale ping chiffon
each fold piped with, pink silk, and
finished with tiny silver cord. The
cord is Iooped and caught UP by little
silver buttons. Guimpes with sleeves
are shown to be worn with the jumper
dress and the kimono-sleeved slfp.on.

part in the fashions for the summer

ing the First Glass Order of the Golden
Kite and the First-C Class Order Of the

the Shaho, and of Mukden, says that
the only glory of the soldier is that
he makes peace possible; that the
victors in the greatest war of modern
times want nothing now but the en-
during happiness of peace; that the
Japanese officers who are organizing
the hordes of China into modern
army are doing it with an eye single
to the loneliness of peace; that the,
San Francisco school incident was too
trivial to waste thought over, much
less talk about, and that America Is
the most wonderful country in the
world, even with New York yet to
see. :sz. .s.l
