Oklahoma State
And Her
New Constitution.

~ HE newest thing In constitu
tons is the instrument adopted
by the late constitutional con
vention OF the proposed state OF
Ok shoma. In view Of the political
controversy over the question OF its ap.
proyaI by the president 1t bids fair to
become n much discussed document
h friends Of the new constitution
declare Ii to be the best ever drafted
by the people OF any state. Its critics
oppose some OF its provisions. and In
Republican quarters the claim has been
made that 1t was so drawn as virtually
to nullify important parts of the state
hood enabling act passed by the last
congress. 1t is also said that In the
division of the state into legislative
and congressional districts so much
advantage has been given to the Dem
ocrats as to make 1t impossible for any
other than that party to control the
state. But while partisan bias may
In some respects affect the view AIKEN
of he Oklahoma constitution it has
many features which are likely to com-
mend themselves to the public without
distinction as to political creed. Among
these are the provisions against child
labor. those prohibiting the issuance of
watered stocks and making the books
of quasi-public corporations subject at
all times to inspection. the employers
liability law, the eight hour law for
state, county and municipal work and
the provisions for stringent regulation
of railroads and other large corpora
tons.
The constitution contains several Tea
lures that embody the latest ideas on
the subject Of government by The
whole people-namely. the initiative
and referendum and nomination or Of
fcers by direct primary instead OF
through the old party convention sys-
TEN. In fact. it is claimed by friends
of the new instrument that Oklahoma

of fieas, once commissioned some arc
tic whalers to obtain for him speci-
mems of the 1eas of arctic animals,
and there was q story that Charles
had offered a prize of 5000 for a SIM
gle example of the flea of the arctic
fox. This was denied, but 1t was not
denied that he had made special In
ducements to the arctic fishermen to
find for him specimens of insects from
the polar regions. Charles Rothschild
has manifested strange devotion to his
singular hobby. He says that every
mammal and bird has a particular
kind of flea and that some OF them
have several kinds. so that the flea
affords more diverse material for a
collector than any living creature. He
has feas from every corner of the
world, over 10000 different varieties.
1t affords him as great delight to Sc
cure a new kind of flea as it does j.

In the publication of the work on
extinct birds great care has been taken
to render 1t so far as possible imperish-
able. The most expensive paper Is
| used, and the blocks for the color
plates cost over a thousand pounds.
Among the birds now extinct, or prac-
| tically so, of which the book has illus

| headed stork, the King Albert's bird
Of paradise from New Guinea. the
| Labrador duck and Manteirs kiwi.
The Hon. Lionel Walter Rothschild,
though thirty-eight years of age and
though occupied with business cares
and his duties as a member of parlia-
ment, has attained reputation as a sci
enlist. The study of animals and In
| sects and their collection are with him
no mere hobby, and he has written
several works on natural history
which have been accepted as authori-
ties In their field. He was one OF
the first Engllshmen to employ the
zebra for driving and farm purposes.
He startled the staid British public a
few years g by driving zebras four
abreast through the streets of London.

ment could be instituted a constitu-
tional convention should be held and
the instrument adopted by it should be
submitted to the president of the Unit
ed States for his approval and to the
people of the new state for ratification
or rejection at the polls. The conven-
ton thus called for met at Guthrie and
journing In April. The draft finally
agreed upon was adopted without a
dissenting vote, but with twenty-seven
of the eighty-fve delegates present not
voting. The convention was composed
of ninety-eight Democrats, two indie
pendents and twelve Republicans. The
constitution will go before the people
Of Oklahoma for approval or rejection,
and the returns will be canvassed by
the chief justice and secretary of the
territory of Oklahoma and the senior
Judge OF the United States court of ap-
peals for Indian Territory. They will
certify the result of the vote to the
president. and IL favorable-provided
also that he finds nothing in the con-
~stitution inconsistent with a republican
form of government-he will issue a
proclamation declaring the result, and
Oklahoma will thereupon be considered
admitted into the sisterhood of states
In the meantime the existing authori-
ties in Indian Territory and Oklahoma
will hold their posts. including the
governor Of Oklahoma, Captain Frank
Frantz. who was appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
There are about $1,000 words in the
new constitution, which is about 10000
words more than the average. This
unusual length Is In part explained by
the fact that about one-third OF the
document Is taken up with fixing coun
ty boundaries, another large section II
devoted to defining how the question
of prohibition shall be submitted te
the vote OF the people Of different 10
calities, while still another long section
contains provisions as to putting IN
operation the principle of the initiative
and referendum. 1t Is stated to be the
first time that the ideas underlying this
principle have been so fully written in
to the constitution of an American com
monwealth.

AWAITING INFORMATION.
District Authorities Fail to Get Re-

Notwithstanding a report was made by
the District chemist several months ago
that he found the presence of saltpeter in
much of the sausage being sold in the
District. and that he considered the same
injurious to a certain extent. IL taken in
large quantities. no action. has been taken
by the Department of Agriculture to pro-
hibit the sale or this so-called 'doctored
sausage or to prosecute the merchants
who are alleged to be selling it. mas
much as this question is one that comes
directly under the pure food law, the Com
tary Wilson of the Department of -,gri-
culture.
The only word received from the De-
partment of Agriculture was in the form
of a bulletin which quoted the board OIL
food and drug products of that depart
ment. of which DIR. Harvey w. Wiley is
chairman, as saying that the use of salt
peter in food products would be allowed
until further investigation had been made
by the Department of Agriculture.
Health Officer Woodward is made an
agent of the Department of Agriculture
under the pure food law and, could have
prosecuted the merchants who are al
legged to have used saitpeter in the manu-
facture of sausage. but he said today he
had declined to do so until he learned
from the Department of Agriculture Its
opinion upon this ingredient as foreign
or deleterious product. He said no action
will be taken by the local health depart
ment until some definite ruling is received
from the Secretary Of Agriculture.

Courts Action on Objections to Rail-
way Terminal Station.

Justice Gould in Equity Court No. has
discharged the rule recently laid against
the District Commissioners. the Washing
the Washington. Baltimore and Annapolis
Electric Railway Company. in reference
to the erection of a terminal for the latter
company at the junction of Bladensburg
and Benning roads. The rule was issued
November 20 at the instance of Lemuel H.
Trippett. trustee. and Nathaniel Wilson,
owners of East Side Park. a tract of sew
named roads. who claimed that they
would be damaged in the use of their
property by the location of the proposed
station.
Justice Gould held that the petitioners
failed to show such special damage as
would justify court of equity interfering
to prevent the issuance of a permit by the
Commissioners for the erection of the
depot
When the application for the permit was
made the Commissioners gave a hearing
to Attorney Nathaniel Wilson represent
ing the same owners. and at the conclu-
sion of the hearing took the matter under
Amusement. Before their decision was
announced. the Injunction proce edings
were commenced. Attorney f. H. Thomas
at the hearing yesterday intimated that
