Oklahoma Is Ready.

The delegate convention which has
been at work all winter framing an
organic law for the new state of Okla
homa has completed its labors and the
constitution is ready for submission
to the voters sometime next summer.
The enabling act provided that ii
must first, however, have the approval
of the president and this has doubt
less had restraining effect on the
provisions imposed by the delegates.
The Indian Territory end Of the new
state has been in command Of the sit
uation. ~
The superintendent gave to each
half the state So delegates, but Of the
Oklahoma list two were from the
Usage nation which lies in Oklahoma.
Naturally these cast their lot with the
Indian contingent; hence the Redskin
controlled the convention. 1t must
be remembered that the Indian poll
ticians Of the territory have been edu-
Gated at Carlisle, Harvard and Cor
nell, for the five civilized tribes have
many families that are both wealthy
and aristocratic. The whites found
this out early in the session and more
than one project was blocked by the
untutored Red Men and their allies.
The matter Of prohibition caused
much discussion. Under the enab-
ling act the Indian Territory end is to
be absolutely "dry" for twenty-one
years and the Oklahoma end is likely
to have the same provision. The
Indian thinks that what is good for
him Is likewise wholesome for his
white neighbor. On some provisions
concerning which the delegates felt
sure the president would be displeased
the convention was wary and placed
them in the form Of resolutions or In
struetions to the first legislature. In
stead Of as a part Of the constitution. |
The Jim Grow" regulations are In |
this category. There is little doubt
that stringent laws will be enacted on
he negro question, for the Indian Is
himself an ex-slAve holder and while
many colors and nAtionalItieS are
mingled In the citizenship Of the new
tate, such votes As have been taken
Indicate that the negro Is TO receive
ypioal southern reception, which
means for The present = decidedly
place in the common
rsAlth.

The address by Mr.. Burton satur.
day evening was received in q way
that must have been very pleasing to
the speaker. While not all agree
with Mr.. Burton in all his ideas and
while he has political enemies that
will never agree with him, the feeling
that he did not have melted out to
him the same treatment as did others
In similar conditions. but on the con-
trary was punished while they went
free, was general in the audience. He
unquestionably made friends and con-
verts by his address and its personal,
dramatic appeal was felt by all. Mr..
Burton's work In the future will be
the real test Of the speech and Of his
position. A man who feels that he
has been unjustly treated and who
has spent five months in jail may be
excused for having some intense ideas
on the subject. II constructive,
helpful work follow, he can do much
to strengthen his cause and regain
his old position.

A dispatch to the Kansas City Star,
which the Star heads, Lucky for
Western Oklahoma; a Primary would
have meant two senators from the
Eastern Hail." says; 1.-THE plan con-
templated by the Democratic majority
in the constitutional convention in
applying this iavorite Democratic
doctrine, included the nomination
and practically the election Of United
States senators by the direct vote Of
the people. Political events in the
two territories in the last two months
have weakened the confidence OF the
senatorial aspirants in the utility and
fairness, from personal standpoint,
Of the primary system Of nomina-
tion." The reason given is that the
thickly settled eastern half would
out-vote the thinly settled western
half. Why does the Star apply this
logic to Oklahoma and deny 1t to

"The moral responsibility OF train
and enginemen is the subject of much
discussion throughout the East" says
General Superintendent W. L. Park Of
the Union Pacific. "You see, the
recent investigation Of accidents and
an analysis of the Interstate Com
merce commiss on reports reveals a
startling misconception Of the true
condition on American railroads.
The report in the Republican this
morning from Conneaut, Ohio, show
ing the failure Of "a out OF % engin-
GERS to observe stop signal is an IL
lustration OF these conditions. On
the Union Pacific we have made these
surprise tests for number of years
back, testing the men once each
month. During 1906 we had only
two failures to observe signals; Of
course the men were temporarily dis
charged. In the reports Of the Inter
state Commerce commission showing
train accidents, in which the men
who are charged with responsibility
have been on duty more than 16 hours
preceding the occurrence and classed
by themselves under the head, "When
working excessive hours was coinci-
dent" not necessarily meaning that
the accident was caused by overwork,
the total number Of Excessive hours
collisions was "a, resulting in proper
ty loss of $136, 115 and the death Of So
others. The percentage Of the total
number of injuries to persons covered
by these statistics was "a per cent,

Roosevelt and the Square Deal. "

Lawrence Gazette: Congressman
Bowersock says that senator whose
veracity is unquestioned as the verac-
ity Of all United States senator's must
Of necessity be, told him this story.
One day man went to the president
and endorsed and urged the candidacy
Of a man for Office. In closing his
plea, the senator said, This man is
Square Dealer" The president re-
flected a moment, and then said:
perhaps am responsible for that
term in politics, although I got it
from the gamblers in the west. For a
time it seemed good to me. But l
have learned that every crook and
every dealer from the bottom has
named himself a Square Dealer.
When q man came into q frontier
town and announced himself that way
he was barred from the game. Out
there man has 10 prove himself
square; they do not take his word for
it. Neither will take 1t here. |
regard with suspicion every man who
says he is Square Dealer. He is
travelling on false pretenses, or he
would not have to make out his own
credentials. Your friend will have to
give me some assurance that he is
square aside from his own declaration.
just now Ishall turn him down be-
cause OF it," Mr.. Bowersock says he
did not hear President Roosevelt say
this, but the man to whom it was
said came out with his feathers down,

The chemistry of laundering il

The chemistry Of laundering is
the newest study in the University OF
Kansas, a fellowship having been
given by Boston firm for the pur-
pose Of discovering improvements in
cleansing clothes. Professor Robert
Duncan explains; 1.-The people OF
the country pay a laundry bill Of
nearly $4,000, 900 per week and sum
vastly more than that to repair the
fabrics which the laundry destroys.
The launderers proceed with a joyous
ignorance Of the whole body Of mod
ern knowledge. We are going to try
to change all that. In attacking the
problem, Mr.. Faragher who has been
given the fellowship, simply puts his
youth and strength and creative
powers against problem which the
company with its inside knowledge
Of the business believes to be soluble.
II he succeeds he is to receive not
merely the $500 per year, but lilo of
the value Of all that he discovers and
consequently If he can lessen the
damages by a fraction Of per cent
we shall be asking him to give the
University a Fine Art building. In
addition to this, his business services
will be required by the company at
the expiration Of the fellowship on a
satisfactory basis.

Mr.. BurtOn,s Home Coming.

The reception given ex-senator Bur-
ton by his home town is striking
example of the absolute independence
and loyalty Of the American people.
The reception is non-partisan, nom
political and with malice toward
none. 1t has been simply the outward
expression OF the towns respect for
one who has long been its resident
and its belief that he has been given
more than his deserts in the punish
ment heaped him. Mr.. Burton him
self has shown fine spirit through 1t
all. He has maintained a courtesy
and dignity that has added to his
standing and he will take his place in
business and political life without loss
of friendship here at home where he
is known best. Abilene has way Of
being frankly independent and its
kindly action in greeting Mr.. Burton
is an example Of its sentiments.

(Reported by Dibrell Bros.l


Danville, Va. January IS 1907.
During the holidays the seasons were good
for handling. and, therefore. when the sales
were resumed this week the receipts were very
large. and have continued heavy each day. The
condition of tho offerings has been better than
usual, but still too soft. The quality has been
about an average of the crop. with perhaps
a smaller proportion OF the lowest grades The
market shows very decided activity, all classes
OF buyers cling eager bidders. and the larger
corporations taking their full proporti-on OF
the offerings and showing no quarter to out
siders. From the start weather conditions have
been favorable for the farmers to market the
crop. and at no time have prices showed any
declining tendency; on the contrary, prices have
showed gradual advance from wcek to week.
The farmers have taken advantage OF the sit.
ut!on. and have sold this. crop, perhaps more
rapidly than ever before. And the buyers, too,
have chen eager and better prepared than ever
before to handle the crop .expeditiously.
Thu SPECTATORS have been able to realize
profits on their purchases almost as fast as
they have been able to put them on the mar
ket: and most OF then, have been willing to
part with their holdings close margins
therefore. the nominations Of stocks In deal
ers' hands have Mt no time. been as large as
usual, with the exception II n very few who
have been willing to take the risk OF higher
prices still. which they seem to await With

Industries. Consumption OF pig iron eX-
ceeds production, despite the greatest rate
of domestic output ever recorded, as at
tested by the heavy imports without any
depressing effect on quotations. High
prices still prevail in primary markets
for cotton goods, yet the element of
speculation is not conspicuous, many
lines being in position where no severe
reaction is to be feared. Thus far few
cancellations have occurred, and manu-
facturers are strengthening the situation
by conservatively declining orders that
appear to be largely of a speculative ma
ture. There is also q disposition to dis
tribute sales among numerous buyers, so
that the risk with any single customer
may be minimized.
A little more export business with
China has been accomplished, but tho

weak buyers operate cautiously, and the
