Oklahoma is to be a great coal min
ing state. II is therefore well to look
after the lot of those whose duty It is
10 go down into the deep, dark places
TO bring I'D the coal and other min
erals in which the new state is sur
passing rich.
Kane's amendment creating a mine
inspector and regulating working
horrs was adopted by the committee
Of tho whole convention.
This amendment forever prohibits
the employment of children under 16
years OF age. This is a humanitarian
provision Nothing is more revolving
than to think of childhood cut off from
it's natural birthright of fresh air and
sunshine The pitiful story of child
rem raised in the mines and seldom
seeing the surface shall not be re-
peated in Oklahoma.
Eat the proposed ordinance does not
stop at this The laborer comes in
for his mede of protection likewise.
His hours Of labor underground are
reduced to eight hcars. Not more than
one-third of his time can he be com
pelled to cut himself off from light and
fresh air. The miner of Oklahoma Is
not to be a serf beit the full equal of
his brother whose avocation is above
the ground.
These provisions, though they are
very short and easily written are full
Of meaning and genuine human in
terest
They are in line with the general
policy Of the convention which is TO
place the man above the dollar The
delegates are not inimical to the dol
lar bit they are not mhmindfm of the
man who earns it. Money is TO be the
servant Of man not man the servant of
money.
This tendency is especially com
mendable at this time when there
seems to be great danger that our
country may neglect some funda-
mental considerations in the wild race
for wealth

NO FRIEND OF OKLAHOMA.

When the Globe Democrat or any
other Republican sheet can and does
make statement known to be false
a1d easily proven to be false by the

ion, It lowers the dignity OF the press.

ordinary course of correspondence,
hey are more exclsable. but, when
,Tich statements are deliberately made

partisanship.
The records show that the very first
act of the convention was to adopt the
constitution of the United States, as
required by tile express words of the
nabling act, which requires that they
adopt the constitution of the United
states This was done in the exact
gords of that act. The convention
records show that II was done.
Yet the Globe Democrat could say
sditorially last Sunday what II knew
o be false, as follows;
"The Guthrie conventions refusal to
anction the constitution of the United

Muskugee Phoenix: For years over
a half million of people residents of
this country, have had no representa-
ton in congress or voice as to the
making of the laws by which they are
governed A similar condition under
a Republican form of government
probably never existed. The laws of
the territory are made by the federal
congress, and II is a significant fact
that congress in a single session
passes more legislation affecting this
territory than any other five states
combined The reason is obvioT
owing 10 our peculiar political cont
tion. We are neither a state nor
territory, nor a FISH nor fowl. We
are bureaucratic governed in the worst
sense. Our federal territory officials
have without doubt the best of mo-
tives but il must be confessed that
some Of the laws passed ostensibly
for our benefit have proved hurtful
rather than beneficial,
We are about TO pass into statehood,
yet the lands of the Indian Territory
part of the new state are not subject
to taxation We are without proper
school facilities and no plan for the
raising of funds to support the schools
has been advanced, the removal of
restrictions failing. Our only hope is
In congtess Their opinions widely
vary as to what shall or shall not lac
done
The secretary Of the interior, badly
advised and lamentably ignorant and
blinded by prejudice, opposes with
zeal worthy OF a better cause, any
measure affecting this country which
does not meet the approval ofhis badly
managed and cumbersome department.
Senators and congressman who know
nothing of real conditions block need
ed and remedial legislation on points
of order or from misguided sentiment
as 10 the Indians true need.
The early coming OF statehood car
rying with Il representation IN con
gress is our only salvation and until
srch time we must patiently bear the
| ills that we have.
