Oklahoma.

The Oklahoma convention and con
stitutiOn are quite remarkable, being
the first convention for the adoption Of
u constitution held under thoroughly
modern conditions. OF the several e%
tremely interesting features of the con-
vention is the prohibition of the sale
of liquor. This is doubtless because
of the Indians of whom there are SO
many i'll Oklahoma. Owing 10 the eff
feet liquor has upon the Indians and
their inability to use it with modera-
ton, it has been deemed essential that
they be denied its use. and the friends
of the Indian are willing also to Oe
denied liquor in justice to them. The
Oklahoma convention took up most If
the big reform measures before the
country. 1t has provided for direct
nomination Of state officers and Unit
ed States senators. 1t has provided
for compulsory education. 1t adopted
an initiative and referendum system.
1t provided for an elective railroad
commission. and for 2-cent fares. II
removed the old common law rule that
a workman could not recover damages
for injuries caused by the negligence
or incompetence of a fellow servant.
1t prohibited succession in state offices
1t provided that senate committees
should be named, not by the lieutenant
governor. but by the senate itself
Very striking are the provisions for
publicity as to corporations, and the
prohibition of railway corporations
| owning any productive agency of a
natural commodity. The latter has
especial reference to coal mines, and
the convention also took steps for the
acquisition of all the coal mines in the
state with the object of state owner
ship and operation. This is perhaps
| the most radical proposition of all
and if carried out will at least give tbs
country an object lesson in state own
ership

igable streams of the Mississippi val
ley are SO much greater and so very
much more difficult than those of the
coastal streams that they should long
ago have been placed in the hands of
"a special commission or bureau of the
government charged with their system
attic study.
The prevention of sudden floods by
reforesting, the protection of lowlands,
the checking of erosion and waste of
fertility by washing of soil into the
rivers are all to be considered by the
with the paramount problem of making
navigation in this vast river system
safely and at all seasons certainly
available to the commerce which
seeks it.
Much good may eventually be ac-
|complished along the collateral lines
of work, but the main point on which
immediate attention must be most in
tently fixed is to make the Mississippi
and its main tributaries something
more than drainage bitches for the
rain that falls between the Alleghanies
and the Rocky mountains.
TO let all this water run to waste is
an extravaganza the country can nc
longer afford. AS the president now
fully realizes, the railroads are not
equal to the task of moving the traffic
of this productive region. Let the
roads build all the new lines they can
increase terminal facilities, buy new
rolling stock, build double tracks and
cutOffs to the limit of their resources
and the traffic will still grow faster
than their means of handling it.
Commerce will increasingly need the
use of the valleys waterways. The ap
pointment of this special commission
ought to prove the first step to the
speedy removal of the obstacles which
have latterly made the rivers compar
latively useless.

Though in the closing hours of the

such commission was strangled by

the work proposed is of such vast inn
portance to the commerce of the whole
country that it cannot be longer de-
layed.
The silt-bearing streams of the Mis-
