This is exactly as il should be.
Oklahoma wants her lands in the pos.
session only Of citizens Of the United
States. or those who intend to become
such. and who carry that intention
into effect The people of Oklahoma
are American to a fault and expect
TO remain so They do not repel FOR
eigners. but they have sternly set
their faces against the accumulation
of estates by English or other Euro
pean landlords The other states are
many of them just now feeling the
evils of H. but tto new state is de-
tormined to preclude the possibility
of such things
This is only one of the highly com.
mendable and comparatively new fea-
lures Of the constitution that ought
to commend It to every man who is
willing to view It from a standpoint
of patriotism, rather than partisan
shin.

CONFLICT WITH ENA5-
LING ACT IMPOSSIBLE.

The opposition have made a con.
gtant and long continued attempt To-
make IL appear that the constitution
does not conform to the enabling act
and that for This reason the Presi.
dent will reject it.
lt Is very difficult 60 see In reason
how Il would be possible for any por.
tion OF the constitution to conflict
with the enabling act and have any
validity whatever In that particular.
The enabling act Is part and parcel
of the constitution. II is made so by
the express terms Of the constitution.
The ordinance by which the enabling
act is accepted and made a part ot
the constitution is the highest and
most fundamental ordinance of the
constitution. BY its very words il Is
made incapable Of repeal. The ordi-
nance Is irrevocable. It Is incapable
OF amendment and stands supreme
oyer all other ordinances. An at
tempt to repeal il would be little less
than an act Of secession. as II ~ the
express condition on which the state
gained its admission into the Union.
How. then. shall It be said that any
valid part of the constitution conflicts
wita the enabling act? What room
is there to declare a conflict and seek
TO withhold the statehood proclama-
ton on that ground?
IL there is anything In the constitu-
tion in conflict with the enabling act,
IL Is void.
II Is a well established rule Of con-
struction that that which is void shall
never yitiate and which Is valid in
an act or instrument. How then.
shall the President vitiate the consti.
triton because of any conflict real or
supposed wit hthe enabling act?
The words of acceptance in the
constitution are: "That said consti-
tutioaal convention do by this ordi-
nance irreyocable accept the terms
and conditions Of the enabling act
The truth is that this labored at
tempt to find reasons why the Presi-
dent who Is charged with a very
plain, carefully limited aad well de-
fined duty. should withhold his proc.
lamation. has been worked overtime
and a great mopntain made out OF a
mole hill for purely partisan advan-
tage. The average man sees il more
clearly every dty.

estraugcd from her mother, Mrs.
Jennie Matthews. of 21i- Wabash ave-
nue. Kansas City for long time.
She was also not on good terms with
her wealthy married sister in Chicago.
Miss Matthews got letter from
Coey last Wednesday in which he said
that it WAS the LAST word she would
ever receive from him This made
her desperate and she repeatedly told
me she would commit suicide On
Thursday night. following her receipt
of the letter, Miss Matthews asked
me to take her riding in a closed
carriage, so that she could tell me
her troubles We went out riding
that evening and she told me that
Coey had broken the engagement.
She drew revolver from hec gown
and said: have good notion to
end II all now was only just in
time to take the weapon from her

out the cartridges and threw The re-
volver out of the carriage.
Several times since the girl. who

Matthews Two other men were her
friends, but that was alI--sbe loved

ly that she was unable to endure life
when he Tilted her"
Miss Green was the principal wit
ness examined. One terrible acknow
ledgment after another was forced
from her She was compelled to tell
how she, at midnight last Sunday be-
gan writing kilograms aud letters to
former friends and acauaintances Of
both herself and Miss Matthews tell
ing of the latter young woman's death
hours before she knew her pretty
charge was dead and before the dis
coyery of the body.
Il prepared those letters and tele-
grams before / knew Laura was dead
because l knew she intended killing
herself, and | wanted to get the whole
thing over with, said Miss Green.
Then the witness caused another
sensation by declaring Miss Matthews
had dictated the major part OF the
contents of the kilograms sent out by
Miss Green fully a week ago
The kilograms prepared al midnight
last Sunday by Miss Green were sent
to DR.. Harold e. Thomas, "1O1' ranch,
Bliss, Okla; G. A. Coey, 424 Michi-
gan avenue. Chicago, and c. r. Den
ger. 240 Michigan avenue. Chicago.
Miss Green testified that Miss Matth-
ews wrote the last part of the mes
sages which the nurse was to copy
and add when and how she had died.
An alleged copy of this part of the
messages was introduced as part Of
