-. IL. 10.
Wichita Beacon: There is a grCnt
deal CT fcss and worry in Oklahoma
about the result of the constitutional
onvention. Mary republicans pro
Tess to see articles therein which are
reprguant to true bill of rights.
Yesterday Judge John II. Burford
knocked out law PISSED by the last
Legislature, which was strongly re-
publican. thus illustrating two points
which arc timely, in Oklahoma.
First, republican legislature is
Just as likely TO carv partisan feel
ng and public sentiment too far as
s q democratic constitutional conven-
ton.
Second, the courts may be relied
lpon to correct any unconstitutional
lefe.ts. whether they be on the stat
ute book or In the constitution itself.
The fact that the Legislature passed
The stock food law and the governor
signt 1t, did not make it effective
because OF orr system of three de-
partments of government. snd Il the
constitution is not III accord with re-
publican government. the courts will
nullify it.
If the democratic party is not
worthy of control because it may
have overwrought some points in the
constitution, then 1t follows that the
republican party is not to be trusted
becarse it passed a monopoly Great
'ng law. Both parties are imperfect
bec5use man is an erring creature.
The effect of Judge Burford's
amendment of the stock food law
yill be more far reaching at this time
than In its effect upon the sale of
stock food II will serve TO quiet
lemagogic utterances. and remind the
thinking men OF Oklahoma that one
party is rade up of about the same
species Of animal as the other. and
that the courts will protect the people
from any serious wrongs that may ap-
pear in the constitution.
The people may accept statehood
without fearing the dreadful croalo

told him the hearts of ten million
American Catholics Internationally

Use no will power whatever. It isn't

Such simple advice at first made
the young man laugh, but the earnest.
ness of the Hindoo and his new found
elderly friend impressed him. It was.
so simple and It cost nothing TO try.
He would do Il. ata
That right he earneda dollar doing
an Soda job for a saloon keeper, and
he proceeded at once to spend the
money at the bar. With his first drink

IL. He kept On drinking with the same
mental pictures before him. Still he
drank until he was too drunk to stand
and was kicked oat of the place, only
to be arrested and put In a cell.
"He was discharged, and again
sought the saloon. Those drink pic
lures we're still with him. He persuad-
ed the bartender to give him a drink
OF whiskey, promising to sweep the
floor or do any little job for him.
Strange to say, he felt a disgust for
that whiskey. but he drank it down
anyhow. Later in the day he again
went into a saloon to get another
drink. He filed the glass. put It to
his lips. but could not drink It. 1t
seemed like a miracle, but It was
nevertheless a fact. From that day on
that man has never touched a drop

Brutal to Women
KNOCKED DOWN AND TRAMPLEp
BY LARcHMoNT's CREW -
KEPT FROM LIFEeoAT.

PROVIDENCE, r. T., Feb. 16.-With
every new chapter in the account of
the wrecking Of the Joy Line boat
Larchmont comes fresh indictment of
Capt. Mcyey and the officers and crew
under him. Every one of the terrible
events that followed in the wake Of the
boats collision with the schooner Har-
ry Knowlton tends to substantiate ths
charge made against the commander
and his men.
1t became known that the crew push.
ed and kicked perishing women about
with great brutality as they scrambled
for the boats. It is meant that an in.
vestigation shall be carried on, with
"a view of attempting to, punish the
captain and possibly some OF his sub.
ordinates.
Showed Her From Boat.
One survivor, Miss Sadie Gallup, of
Boston. stil remains on the island,
where she Is being cared for. She
stated to several Of the newspaper
men that when she begged, either Capt.
McVey or Purser Young to take her in
their ooat they pushed her back. and
the life boat left the Larchmont with
only six in 1t, although it would have
held twenty more When the steamer
went down she placed nerse1r on %
wreckage and remained On it until
picked up ten hours later by the fish,
ing schooner Elsie. Miss Gallup was
very emphatic In her charge against
Capt. Mcvey and the officers of the
Larchmont.
Miss Gallup, who had remained I'M
conscious since being brought ashore.
only regained consciousness this after.
noon and was very eager to make a
statement. Her condition was SO
grave yesterday that 1t was impossible
to take her to Providence with the
other survivors, but It was stated that
she will recover, although her hands
and feet are badly frostbitten.
Mot a Child Was Saved.
Taking into reckoning the fact that
only two women Of all those on the
boat are among the living, additional
color Is lent to the accounts Of the
horror given by the few surviving pas
sengers and the implied charges OF
cowardice on the part of the crew.
Add to this the significant fact that
not a single child got OF the sinking
ship, and the case against Capt. Nc.
yey and his men is declared to be
even my convincing.
Ten of the total of eighteen surviv-
ors were members of the crew. which
numbered forty.ive men. while out OF
a passenger list of something lige 1913
only nine succeeded In saving their
lives. The significance OF these fig
uresf it is declared, cannot fail to
add to The public feeling against the
captain and crew.
Capt. Mcvey himself admits that his
lifeboat was one of the first, II not the
Very first, to leave the sinking ship,
saying q seaman cut the davit rope.
Purser Young adds to this awful con-
fession thu statement that they desert
ed the ship while scores Of frenzied
passengers were struggling on the
decks for a chance to reach the boats.
He says he could hear the cries of
those who were left behind, but no
effort was made to return to the ship
and attempt to bring Off any of them.
The accused captain is only twenty.
six years old. being one OF the young
est captains plying In American wat
ers.

A detail Of policemen told of to
