OKLAHOMA ELECTION LAWS
Are Applicable in Indian Territory Ac-
cOrding to Judiciary Report

The judiciary committee Of the
constitutional convention has submit
ted the following report on the appii-
cation Of Oklahoma election laws to
election in the two territories:
First, it is the opinion Of The com
nittee that this convention has no
power to prescribe the qualification
q ele. TORS to vote for or against the
ratification Of the constitution, and
that ile qualification Of such clestors
are prescribed by the enabling act
But the committee is Of the opinion
that the convention has power to pre-
scribe the qualification Of electors
who shall vote for the state, district
and county officers at the election
held at the time Of the election for
the purpose Of ratifying the consti-
tuition.
Second, the committee is Of the
opinion that the convention has power
to create the election boards to con
duct said election, both for the pur-
pose Of ratifying the constitution and
TOR the- purpose Of electing state, dis
trict and county officers, and that it
has power to create ~assing
board to canvass the returns Of the
election as to the state, district and
county officers. But the committee
IS Of the opinion that the convention
has no power to create a canvassing
board to canvass the returns Of the
election upon the ratification Of the
constitution, but that such canvass
ing board is provided for by the
enabling act.
Third, the committee reports that
from the terms Of the enabling act
and in the absence Of judicial con
structiou thereof, it is difficult to
reach aefnite and satisfactory CON
clusion as to whether the convention
has the power to provide BY ordi-
nance for holdino mandatory pri-
mary election; but all members Of
the committee present when the in
terrogatories propounded were con-
sidered, concurred in TIE opinion that
by the following provisions in the en-
abling act the laws Of the territory
Of Oklahoma relating to primary cleo
tions, as well as general elections,
were extended over and put and in
force in Indian Territory, to-wit:
"That the election laws of the Ter
ritory Of Oklahoma now in force, as
far as applicable and not in conflict
with this act, including the penal
laws Of said territory Of Oklahoma,
relating to elections and illegal vot-
ing. are hereby extended to and put
in force in said Indian Territory un-
I'll the legislature of said proposed
state shall otherwise provide, ard un-
til the persons offending against said
laws in the elections aforesaid shall
have been dealt with in the manner
therein provided.
That the primary elections laws
thus extend over the Indian Territory
and provide for an optional primary
election to be determined by political
parties and the committee is Of the
opinion that the convention is with
ont authority to provide for a differ
snt kind Of primary election.

Tuesday morning. There are two re-
ports, one providing for the sale Of

lion. 1t will be one of the hardest
fought issues that has been on the

The committee on privileges and
elections has filed its report design
ing August 6 as the date for holding
Of the election for the ratification Of
the constitution. The report provides

A Thousand Years Ago.

Elementary human natures makes
little progress. Baer, Hartman, and
their fellows, are products of the
nineteenth century. The Good King
Alfred was a product of the ninth.
Yet here is an observation from the
latter's comment on philosophy
which reads as though he had had
certain of our moderns in clear view
when he wrote;
Thou Ixnowest that I lie not to thee,
and also knowest that riches often hurt
those who possess them, in many
things. and in this chiefly. that men
become so lifted up on account Of riches.
that frequently the worst man Of all,
and the most unworthy Of all, thinks
that he is deserving of all the wealth
which is i'm this world, il he knew how
he might arrive at IL.
As great a world of safety for the
people lay in those words, If he
knew how he might arrive at it." in
sol apparently as in 1907.

SWELL ELEGANT JONES'
EZRA KENDALL'S NEW PLAY

In a comedy which is said to be the
most successful laugh vehicle he has
had in years, Ezra Kendall is coming
to the Columbia Theater next week
The Offering bears the title Of swell
Elegant jones'" and is another OF those
typical Kendall plays by Herbert Hall
Winslow, who was also responsible for
the previous Kendall show. THE Vine
gar Buyer" The characters are drawn
from a small Indiana village. and it is
said that g quaine rural atmosphere
has been preserved through the staging
by John Stapleton, who gained promi-
hence by his development Of the robust
Western spirit IN THE Heir to the
Hoorah" and The 'Virginian." While
the prime motive has been TO give full
Scoop 70 the Kendall style Of humor, q
sane and coherent story Is maintained.
Mr. Kendall. who was one OF the fore
most monOlOgists IN vaudeville, retains
bits OF his more famous sayings, and
has combined them into a curtain speech,
which really continue the action OF the

Safe Milk and Economy.

Milk to be consumed by infants
should be Immediately and effective
" safeguarded against dirt, bacteria
and infection of every sort.
Milk thus safeguarded costs more
to produce, and so must cost more
to buy at retail than milk not safe
guarded.
On these two practical and COM
nonsense conclusions hangs the
first report of the new milk commits
sion. That they viii be opposed by
some dealers and some consumers is
certain. But it is no less certain
that these conclusions must in the
end obtain the Endorsement of the
large majority of dairymen and con-
sumers alike.
We shall hear before we are
through with this campaign for safe
milk a deal of mistaken, misunder-
standing, misguided talk. Farmers
accustomed to producing milk and
cream under conditions entirely sat
isfactOry to our fathers MAJ be ex-
pected to protest against paying for
sanitary stalls, new windows,
cement floors. and stock to replace
that eliminated by the tubercuIin
test. Citizens confronted with a
general advance of 5 per cent in the
cost of their food suppies-that is
the figure given by Dunn-may be
only too naturally disposed to disre-
gard precautions which have not
been indispensable to the survival of
the race heretofore. 1T may be all
well enough" they win say, but it
costs too much"
Yet 10 cents a quart for milk is
cheaper than a funeral; cheaper
than a home empty of childish
laughter and the patter of little
feet; cheaper than a mothers heart
torn and a fathers life darkened by
the loss of their babe. No parents
in their senses would hesitate be
tween such alternatives. And milk
is the chief factor in the physical
life of little children-so that poor
or unclean or impure milk is

Two Problems at One Blow.

The Hon. "Tom" Watson, erst-
while leader of the Populist party
and candidate for the Presidency,
and later and at present a magazine
editor, is very inclusive in the man
ner IN which he attempts to settle
great problems, if we are TO believe
the stories of one of his attempts
only a few days ago. Accounts say
that the Honorable Thomas was
travelling in Pullman car in Angus
Ia and that. terribly annoyed by the
sIowness of the train and the gen
eral inadequacy of the railroad ser
vice, he became involved in a violent
dispute with the conductor, where
upon and very unwisely, since it was
a white mans country, the colored
porter assumed an interest in the
debate, and was Immediately hit in
the face by Mr.. Watson, who allowed

Two great problems, those of rail-
road management and the color line.
were illuminated by Mr.. Watson
act In the first place, he proves that
even the average citizen can arise
in his wrath at slow trains and poor
handling, and. in the second place,
that in the South the right of free
speech is still abridged There
seems to be no question that the
porter was lambasted by the ex,
Presidential candidate for the
simple reason that he was a negro
We had hoped that Thomas resi-
dence in New York city had softened
his antagonism toward our Afro
American citizens, but it seems that
racial antipathy is too ingrained
ever to be wiped out.
The most highly humorous por-
ton of the dispatch from which we
CLEAN our facts is the statement that

Arbitration.

Arbitration of the great funda-
mental differences between nations,
even to those which involve the ma
tional honor and the most impor-
tant interests, has been arranged,
as a permanent policy, by six ma
tions. Mr.. Carnegie points out this
fact in the statement which he
issued last evening in New York. He
might have added that in these
cases the nations which have en-
tered cOmpacts for such arbitration
have sharply conflicting interests,
liable to lead at any time to serious
friction. Chile and Argentina, for
example, for years drained their re-
sources in the effort to maintain
military and naval establishments
beyond their reasonable means.
They were to South America exactly
what France and Germany have
been to Europe. 1t was in n07yise a
greater concession for them to
agree to universal arbitration than
it would be for the two standing
enemies of the Continent to do the
same.
But yet there is distinguished
difference between South American
nations and those of Europe in this
matter of arbitration. South Amer.
lea. once the most troubled and
troublesome of continents, is fast
taking the lead of the world in he.
