Produces Vegetable Novelties.

Washington.--One of the agents OF
the department OF agriculture working
on his New Jersey farm has produced
a new vegetable novelty in the shape
of a seedless tomato. The variety has
been called the Giant, because'of the
large size that the plant attains.
Six years of experiments was neces'
sary to produce the seedless tomato.
Each ordinary tomato contains hun
dreds of seeds. while the form now de-
yeloped seldom contains more than 90
seeds, and often none,
Before attaining success in his eX'
periments the government scientist
produced large crops of freak toma,
toes, Some plants included clusters
no larger than peas In one instance
the fruit had the flavor OF straw
berry,

A MAeNIrIoENT PRODUCTION

For the first time in the history of
the famous production of the Pas
sion play-or The Life Of Christ az
Oberammergau, Switzerland, an exact
and authentic production is being Civ
en- to the world at large by means of
Moving Pictures.
The management of the Nickelod-
ium has, at a great expese secured
this gorgeous set of films, which are
over 5000 feet long and hand colored
throughout and are exhibiting them
this week at their theatre on South
Main street.
From the time the Shepherds first
beheld the Wonderful Star TO the time
of Christ's Ascension, each event in
the life of our Savior is portrayed in
such beautiful and realistic manner
las to impress itself indelibly upon
the mind of the beholder and especial
lly to Bible students and children this
opportunity to witness this grand
spectacle should not be permitted to
escape.
The Ministers of the City have all
been invited to attend as guests of
the management and will no doubt
avail themselves Of this opportunity
to witness what would otherwise ne
Hesitate a trip across the ocean.
These pictures have been exhibited
at other places and the admission
charged ranged from 81 90 TO $500,
and the increased cost to the Nickel
Iodium management has made 1t nee
Iesary to raise their price of admis-
sion but knowing that the public in
general would want to see these hand
some films, they have placed the ad-
: mission fe at 10 cents, which will not
keep any one away as the higher
prices would have a tendency to do.
Everyone who has so far witnessed
! this production speaks of it in the
highest terms and crowded houses are
sure to repay the management for
this piece of enterprise on their part.

The President and the oklahoma
Constitution.


The Oklahoma constitution,
under the provisions of the
enabling act which permitted a
vote on the question of state
hood, must be indorsed by the
President before the new state
can be admitted to the Union.
1t is possible that the President
will reject the constitution and
therefore deny statehood to the
two territories; but it is certain
that some higher motive will
prompt such executive action
than the mere fact that Okla
homa elected Democratic state
ticket and sent three or four
Democrats TO Congress in the
election last Tuesday.
The Oklahoma Republicans
who assume that the con
stitution will not receive in
dorsement at the White House
because it would admit a
Democratic state to the Union
are IN a k ng themselves
ridiculous in the eyes of the
country. The Presidents duty
is a judicial one. The limita-
tions of his powers in the ac-
ceptance or rejection of the in
strument are limited to two
distinct propositions-a de-
termination of the constitution S
compliance with TIE enabling
act passed by Congress, and
the harmony Of its provisions
with the Federal constitution.
Secretary TAFT in his speech
at Oklahoma City made the
Presidents position clear. For
| this reason he warned the voters
against the defects in their con.
stitutiun as they affected the
citizens of the state. These
defects may be apparent to the
President and yet prove no bar
to his approval of the document
as a whole.
Statehood is not to be denied
Oklahoma for politiCal reasons.
The defeated politicians who
take comfort IN that asSump-
tiOn will be doomed TO diSap.
pointment. If they can present
no more tangible excuse for the
re lection of the constitution
than that the state gave a
Democratic majority, or that
the beer interests are diSpleaS'
ed with the adoption of Pro.
hlbitlon, Oklahoma is certain
to realize its hope for immedi.
ate statehood. Kansas City
