Third Term Idea.

This is the most significant fea-

conducted by The Times in conjunc-

score other cities. The next most
significant feature is that 971 of the
answers propose other courses.
If this proportion shall be main
tanned by the remaining weeks of
the letter-writing il viii be reveaia-

Theodore Roosevelt, as no President
since Andrew Jackson, may expect
TO speak with deciding voice in the
selection of his successor. Second,

0klahOma'S Fundamental Law.

The men who have made the new
constitution for Oklahoma viii find
themselves made the butts of much
ridicule, because they have put into
it so much of which some people
will call "radicalism, so many gov
ernmental experiments" But the
accusation viii not worry the men
who are responsible to the people
of the new State, for they know
more about modern constitutions
than do their critics. They have
made study of what other commune
ties have accomplished or are trying
to accomplish. and have been wise
enough to profit by experience.
A vast deal of silly discussion is
occurring over this Oklahoma con-
stitution. If critics would inform
themselves first, they would expose
their ignorance with less nonchal-
ance. If they would learn of the
substance and the workings of mod
ern cOnstitutions-Fed and State
aike-they would be convinced that
there is room for improvement, and
that Oklahoma, instead of striking
out in a wilderness of experiment,
is in fact following paths that have
been trod by the feet Of experience
in Switzerland, Australia, New Yea
land, and to no small. extent by
some of the newer States of this
Union.
Oklahoma has undertaken to do in
"a State constitution what Australia
did in a federal instrument: to profit
by the experience of others, and to
bring her fundamental law down to
date. She has done in the main
what most other States of this
Union would do if they were given
free hand to reorganize their con
stitutions and to get into step with
current governmental ideas. The
Oklahoma constitution. doubtless,
will prove to have defects; but thew
Will not prove half so serious. as are
those which, in the fundamental
laws of most Of the older States,
have become ossifed almost past
the possibility of correction.
