On Popular" Government.

The provisions of the new Oklahoma
constitution, looking to more COM
plete control of corporations, leads the
usually liberal ST. Paul Dispatch to say:
at looks from the Oklahoma consti-
tuition, as if the new state would start
in as full fiedged product of the most
western beliefs in popular government.
Whether or not Oklahoma will have to
alter its constitutional provisions when
this extreme antagonism of the people
toward the corporations adjusts itself,
will be one the interesting develop
ments of future statecraft."
One would wonder why the necessi-
ty of constitutional restriction from the
peoples standpoint. If the people
want restrictive legislation they don't
want the constitution in the way 9th
erwise it will not be in the way.
The Dispatch appears to be viewing
the matter from a corporation stand
point.

Lost piamies.

A problem which peTplexed the last

my race which centuries ago un.

telligence than the red men. But
these legends were very hazy. A bury

discovered in the early part of the

of them were carried away to col.

Lot rhe Poor Indian Teaches Lesson

At the recent constitutional conven-
| ton of the new state of Oklahoma Lo
| the Poor Indian turned a neat and I'M
expected trick on his white neighbors,
and now bids fair to direct the des-
TIMES of the new state to his own lik-
ing for some time to come.
Incidentally, he furnishes fine
lesson.
The white delegates were of the
usual stamp. The Indian delegates
were spick-and-span young men, most
of them lately home from college.
They wore tailor-made clothes and
fancy hosiery. Also, they had some
genius for planning things. AS re-
suit, almost before he knew anything
was going on, the rural delegate found
himself tracked, while Lo gravely
plotted county lines, giving himself all
the advantage in representation, made
the whole state prohibition and gener-
ally helped himself to offices and per-
quisites. Oklahoma looked on in open
mouthed wonder for a few moments,
and then beloved forth her indigna-
tion-but Lo had turned the trick.
1t is never wise to underestimate
the other fellow.
History is full of the tragedies as
we'll as the comedies of underestimate
ton.
Imperial Rome persistently underes-
timated the rest of the world, until the
fierce and untamed tribes of the north
swept down and brought humiliation.
King Louis underestimate the muir
murs and the discomfort of the people
of France, and persisted in a sea of
blood.
In the civil war the south underesti-
mated the patriotism and determina-
ton of their northern brothers.
England understimated the valor
and resources of the Beers, and paid
in gold and blood and the flower of
English yeomanry for her mistake.
Burly Russia underestimated the
strategy and warlike spirit of Japan,
and sent her armies out to destruction
and utter defeat.
One of the requisites Of success is
that you give the other man full credit
for being able to put up fight, and
another is that you keep yourself
ready to cope with the unexpected.
Don't make the fatal mistake of
thinking that all the cleverness of the
world is condensed in you.

ACCUSED POLICEMAN SEEKS
WRIT OF HABEAs CORPUS
John Laws Denies Theft of Money
From Injured Man and Is Supported
by the Latter's Statement

Policeman John c. Laws, accused of
robbing an injured man at the Central
Emergency Hospital, was given a hear
ing yesterday in Judge Cooks court on
a petition for a writ of habeas corpus,
but the arguments were continued until
Thursday, when the case will be con-
cluded and the courts decision given.
The alleged robbery occurred several
months ago. William Bolte shot and
seriously injured Don Ritchie, alias
John Lovejoy, in a fight at the Terminal
Hotel. Laws arrested Bolte and took
Ritchie In an ambulance to the Central
Emergency Hospital, where 1t was found
that the wounded man had $500
in his pocket-book. When the hospital
officials prepared to put the money in
the safe a few minutes later It was
discovered that $120 was missing and
the money was found in Laws posses
sion.
Laws was suspended from the police
force during an investigation of the
matter and given a preliminary hear
ing in the Police Court, at which
Ritchie testified that he had given the
money to Laws. The case was carried
to the Superior Court because of a
suspicion that collusion existed be-
tween Laws and Ritchie. but in the
face of the latter's statement that he
voluntarily gave the money to Laws
it is probable that the writ of habeas
corpus will be issued and the prose-
cution dropped.

New Territory in Mission
WANTS SYSTEM BUILT

The Board OF Supervisors finally
passed yesterday the ordinance fixing
March 23 next as the date for receiv-
ing bids for a proposed crosstown cleo
trio car line to connect Scott and Page
streets with the Mission. Supervisor
Coffey wanted action postponed be-
cause some property owners were dis
satisfied with the proposed route, but
withdrew his motion after learning
that a postponement would invalidate
the proceedings, as a date had been set
for receiving proposals for the road.
The road viii run from Page and
Scott streets along Scott, Duboce ave-
nue., Noe, Sixteenth, Church, Eigh-
teenth, Valencia and Twentieth streets
to Potrero avenue.
The board passed to print an ordi-
nance granting the Preside Railway
Company nine months time to COM
plete the conversion of the Union street
cable road into an electric system un-
der a bond of $50, 600. The ordinance
requires that the road westerly from
Steiner street TO the Presidio must be
operated in ninety days and If the con-
ditions are not complied with the sum
of the bond will be forfeited to the
city.
On Furey's motion the company was
directed to reconstruct the road from
Mason street to the ferries at once.
The ordinance fixing Monday, Feb
ruary 25. as the time for receiving bids
for municipal street and sewer bonds
to the amount of s1.0S7,200 and $685.
600. respectively, was finally passed.
The petition of the Electrical Con-
tractors Association that additional in
spectors be employed by the Depart
ment of Electricity on the ground that
construction work is hampered by the
lack of inspectors was referred to the
finance committee.
The petition of property owners that
the name of Chapultepec street be
changed to Crest avenue" and the
protest of the Veterans of the Mexican
War against changing the name were
referred TO the street committee.
The petition of the Mission Promo
tion Association that the district
bounded by Fifteenth, Eighteenth
Guerrero and Howard streets be better
/ lighted was referred to the light com
mittee.
/ The petition of P. Seculovich that he
I be given deed to Block so of Pueblo
Lands, Western Addition" was referred
! to the Outside Lands committee. The
petitioner claims to have Occupied the
1 block from 1860 to 1868 and asserts
he is entitled to possession as a squat
ter thereon.
