GETTING WISDOM.

The Book of Proverbs full of good advice to young
people, and the heart of it all is "GE L WISDOM"
Wisdom is knowing what to do and how do in all the
various occasions OF life. The that finds the best
way to do the common duties and also when new or
sudden occasions rise does lose his head but knows
how to act IN any emergency, that has wisdom; he
always succeeds his nelghbors have confidence in his
judgment and his ability. They say "he can make
things go. he always knows just what to do. No won

more precious than diamonds rubes.

ARE SLOW
Few Vinitan's Have as
Yet Connected With
Gas

Gas was not turned into the city
lines yesterday, as had been hoped.
There are always little delays that
cannot be foreseen, and the company
wants everything all right before it
goes ahead. 1t is hoped to turn the
gas into the city mains sometime to-
day, and, if this is DONE and every
thing goes all right, it may be possible
for consumers to begin using the gas
tomorrow, tho more than likely they
will not light their gas stoves until
Monday.
The piping Of the city has now been
completed except in the northeastern
part Of the city, and this VIII be
finished soon. Thus far those who
have applied for gas are relatively
few. An impression has gone abroad
that the use Of the gas is dangerous,
and many people for that reason hesi-
tate TO put it in.
The officials of the gas company
point out, however, that no one who
has ever burned gas or who has lived
in a town where it is used for fuel,
has neglected to have his house con-
nected. And they figure that an ex-
perience Of about two or three days
with the new fuel will send all gthe
doubters rushing for Che Office, eager
to secure permission to make couuec-
tions.

CONVENTION ADOPTS
SUFFRAGE PROVISION
Full Text Of the Clause as Decided
Upon by ConventiOn--Law IS Easy
on Criminals

Guthrie, Okla, Feb. 8-According
to the IDEAS Of the Democratic dele
gates Of the constitutional convention
" ex-convicts and criminals are to be
z given preference in matters ofsuffrage
over the man who has been unfortun~
ate and at some time or other has had
the luck to be an occupant of a poor
house.
The man whom misfortune has caus-
ed to be poor, to such an extent that
he had at some time or other been in
a poor house, no matter how honor
able he may be, cannot vote in the
new Oklahoma, says the constitution
al convention.
The criminal Of almost any calibre
can vote, says the constitutional con-
vention.
Thieves and ex-convlcts are to be
given the right Of suffrage.
The good women Of the state are to
be deprived of the right Of suffrage.
This is the meaning OF the suffrage
proposition which has already been
adopted in the committee of the whole.
Pete Hanraty, the union labor lead
er, made vigorous fight against res
trictions placed against people who
were 50 unfortunate to be poor, but in
line with the now usual procedure on
the part of Railroad Haskell, "Cor-
poration Bob Williams, Alfalfa Bill"
Murray and the rest Of the gang, he
was shut off. When this section came
up, Mr.. Hanraty took the floor and

that It would be cruel to deprive poor

people Of the tight to vote, at the
same time submitting an amendment
along that line, when he was shut of
by Henshaw of Madill, VINO moved tO
table his amendment.
The whole transaction occupied less
than one minute and Hanraty was
forced to take his seat.
The suffrage constitutional PROPOSE
tion as finally adopted in committee
of the whole reads as follows:
"The qualified electors Of the state
shall be male citizens Of the United
States, male citizens Of the state, and
male persons of Indian descent, ma
tives Of the United States, who are
over the age of twenty.one years, who
have resided in the state one year, in

guilty of felony, subject to such ex-

law, nor any person while kept in a
poor house or other asylum at the
public expense, except confederate
and federal ex-union soliers, nor any
person in public prison, nor any

Eight Of them were flowing and 20
were being pumped. The royalty on
these oil wells was S39 a day, or more
than $4,000 year. Congress remoy-
ed the restrictions on the sale Of the
land and Mrs. Gallicatcher, a Chero-
kee Indian, sold her interest in the
oil wells, land and other Improvements
for S2,300 Another Indian woman
encumbered by the name of ,Seneh 90
Yusettah, sold so acres Of land on
which there were flowing wells, for
$1,000. The royalty from these wells
was more than $500 a year.
'Pass this amendment, said Sena-
tor Curtis in bis speech, "and you will
rob nine tenths of the fullblood In
dians in the. Indian Territory Of their
property" =
Several senators made speeches to-
day, but the determining factor was
the emphatic position by the president
and the secretary of the interior. and
the actual instances cited in estab-
fishing their contention.

Washington, Feb s.

washington, req 8.
In the senate yesterday the senate
committees amendment to the In
dian appropriation bill removing the
restrictions was struck out on point
Of order made by Senator Curtis Of
Kansas. The vote by which the re-
moval of the restrictions amendment
was killed was 80 to %.
The determing vote in the senate
came on a point of order raised by
Senator Curtis and sustained by Vice
President Fairbanks. 1t was that
the removal of restrictions was new
legislation. A majority Of the sena-
tors, who voted to sustain the Vice
President, did so on the merit Of the
question. Others voted to sustain
him as a matter Of parliamentary pro-
cedure. But whatever the cause the
most important legislation relating to
the Indian county which has been pro-
posed at this session of congress has
been repudiated by the senators. In
his speech of oppositions to removal
of the restrictions Senator Curtis nsed
what had befallen the Indian in the
past as an object lesson to show what
would happen to others if the pro-
posed legislation we're enacted. He
cited the case Of Betsy Gallicatcher,
who owned 13O acres Of land. There
were twenty-three producing oil wells
