THE DAMsEL WAS a TREASURE

Well

There are many good stories which
illustrate the grievous state to which
the abuse of the servant question has
brought us, and others which show why
people with common sense and some
of the milk of human kindness in
their get-up manage to keep good do
mestics when they get them. An Amer
icus woman who once applied to an in
telligence Office was furnished with
giantess who had just arrived from
Finland. The mistress began asking
the customary questions. Can you
cook?" Mar" said Miss Finn. Can
you wash and iron?'' Mar" "Can you
sweep and dust?" Mar" ''Then in
PHYS name what can you do?" asked
the lady in desperation. A CLEAN of
pleasure passed over Miss Finn's fac g
at the thought of her one accomplish
ment, and she replied: 4 can mllka da

The Vinita daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1902-1913, 1907-05-17

A strong objection urged against
the constitution is limitation placed
on the tax levy for public school pur-
poses. While this objection mig { be
sufficient to warrant the President, as
leader of his party, in declaring his
opinion that the people Of Oklahoma
should turn down the constitution, it
clearly would not authorize him to re-
fuse the state admission to the Union.
When The American Union was formed
there was not one of the thirteen
states which had made provision for
public schools
Other states beside Oklahoma have
constitutions which in practical opera
tion provide for gerrymanders. Rhode
Island is such state, and its infam-
Gus provisions have rendered it inpos-
sible to eliminate Aldrich from the
senate. A town of 100. 600 inhabitants
in Rhode Island has one vote in the
legislature, and town Of 200 inhabit-
ants has vote, Connecticut also is a
state which has constitutional pro-
visions which make it impossible TO
overtime " it's legislature.
Although the Oklahoma leaders
have apparently reached no definite
conclusions as to policy with regard to
a state ticket IN view Of the attitude
taken by the administration, it would
seem TO be foregone conclusion that
they would nominate state ticket
and organise politically to fight the
constitution.
To put it another way, it is Okla
homas business to defeat an objection
able constitution. In their opposition
to the constitution the Republicans
who visited Washington and who are
coming here again should not be per
mitted to misrepresent the attitude of
either the President or the secretary
Of war. Whatever they may say in
regard to certain Objectionable fea-

STATEMENT NOT AUTHORIZED
Mel her President Roosevelt nor Taft
Made Statement They Would
Turn Constitution Down.

Washington, May IT Neither Presi-
dent Roosevelt nor the Secretary OF
War, Mr.. Taft, have ever authorized
anyone tosay that the President would
reject the Oklahoma constitution or
REFUGE to issue the proclamation adj
mitting the new state if the proposed
constitution were adopted by the peo-
pie. 1t istrue that both the President
secretary of war regard the constitu-
tlon as Objectionable in many respects.
AS the leader Of his party, the Presi-
dent mightsuggesU with full propriety
opposition of the people TO tie consti-
tuition which would result in its defeat.
Ii the constitution is not republican
in form, he would be required under
his oath and the enabling act to refuse
to recognize the new state. But in
doing this he would not provide for
republican form of government. That
both the President and Secretary Taft
sanction the opposition Of Republican
leaders in Oklahoma TO the constitu-
tion is true. But any statement from
whatever quarter that the President
will disapprove the constitution If
adopted Is without authority from him
or his secretary Of war.
