Aecident ExtTemsIy sensationaI.

Every feature OF the accident was
sensational The car, badly wrecked on
the beach two days before. had been re-
paired over night, and Marriott, who
has scarcely left ii night OF day since
the tournament began, was determined
not 10 depart from Ormond until he had
brought the worlds automobile record
for one mile down 10 twenty-five sec
Onds. He had just entered upon his
trial for this record and was travelling
faster than any man ever before had
teen propelled over the earth when the
accident happened
II was at the Dayton end Of the beach.
The regular program Of events had been
concluded both for the day and for the
meet The incoming tide was rapidly
narrowing the course but the smooth
est and fastest portion of il was still
beyond the reach OF the waves. The
hot sun beat down upon nearly ZOO
people who crowded the finish Inc
and light breeze came out of the south
where Marriott IN the Stanley cigar
also was TO come.
II was sick man who answered the
call when the referee. Louis r. Spear
or Boston, announced that the electro
timing apparatus was ready for the
Stanley trial. Marriott had worked two
nights over his car and his nourishment
had necessarily consisted largely of
stimulants He was nervous and in at
ease when he started his machine over
the beach on tour Of inspection in
bis first trial his flying start did not de-
Velop the speed necessary for a record,
and he went over the measured mile in
g. As seconds. which was four seconds
slower than tho mark back of the start
ing line but again he did not cross at
the speed he had aimed for. ana again
ne fell short. but only by one second,
for his time was 3 40 seconds.

After his second trial Marriott went to
the club house for a bottle of beer. Then
he looked over his engine and logged

jaunt back he decided 20 slightly change
his course, and therein was his undo

Story Of an Eyewitness.

Putting the stories of four eye wit
nesses together and comparing them
with marks in the sand, and with the
debris OF what had been an auto, this is
what happened. Less thau 100 yards
from the starting line the Stanley struck
a "camers back" from this il bounced
in a fraction of "a second fully nft-
feet. When il landed il bounced again,
this time about thirty feet. a third time
IL bounced about ten feet.
The first crash demolished the left
car wheel and probably also wrecked
the steering gear. Each time the car
came down II was headed more directly
toward the ocean The third time It
came il rolled over and over into tie
ocean, and then remarkable thing hap
pened. The weight OF the boiler dis
lodged il from the frame and IL rolled
out and into the sea at greater velocity
than the car itself. The professionally

away from the structure and got into

INTERSTATE COMMERCE
COMMISSION WEARv

II seems quite apparent from the
comments of the different members of
tho Interstate Commerce commission
that they have grown weary In their
efforts to regulate railroad rates
under the present powers conferred
upon them.
Notes OF dissatisfaction haye arisen
from every member of the commits
sion and several OF the most radical
statements come from members OF
the commission. Commissioner Glenn
ents caps them all with the sugges-
ton that a good round jail sentence
for the manipulators of stocks, wac
constitute the power even behind the
railroad offices, would help immensely
to make railroads more tractable.
There can be no doubt that the
commission has endured a great deal
since its creation, enough, in fact, to
make its members wish many time
for power enough TO compel things
to come their way 1t must be pro-
yoling to be thwarted from giving
real relef in the many cases where
they see IT'S necessity.
The railroad officers are seldom so
culpable as the real railroad bosses
who have not much to do either
with railroad management or the
needs OF the public. To them the
proposition of it's stock, bond and divi
dend feature is the great consider
alton. With many Of them 1t be-
comes a paramount proposition as to
just how the company can be made to
take on more water and still survive.
This class of individuals ere as
much thorn In the side Of good
straightforward railroad officers as
they are to the people who are coIa-
PEELED to pay the freight.
1T Is the stockiobber and gambler
who will be the real cause of public
ownership, II It ever comes to pass.

Why The Constitution Should Be
Adopted.


Editor Leader: The people of the
Indian Territory have many reasons
impeling them To vote for the adopt.
ion OF the proposed Constitution for
the State OF Oklahoma. TO them IL
means emancipation from Ills too
long endured. To them IL means the
taking of the reins of government
from the hands of the Secretary of
the Interior, the carpet-bag courts and
irresponsible deputy marshals who
nave held them so long. and placing
them in the hands of the citizenship
OF the country--a realization OF home
rule. This of itself is sufficient rea-
son why we Indians win vote for the
ratification of the Constitution. Sun.
we are not unmindful that other bene-
iits and advantages will How to us
from such action.
Under the Constitution OF the new
state we can dot this country with the
little red srhool-house" and give TO
the girls and boys of nhe rural dis
tricts. now growing to manhood and
womanhood in ignorance and Hitter
acy, an opportunity to enjoy the ad-
yantages of the public schools Under
IL we can establish and build public
highways throughout the country and
span the streams with bridges and
get some real practicable benefits
from our modern civilization.
Looking on the proposed ronstitu-
tion itself, as result of earnest, hon.
est and intelligent effort. find many
reasons Why II sholAd meet the ap-
proval of the great majority of the
people OF the proposed state. The
Drawn and muscle as well rs the
wealth and sentiment of the new
commonwealth find voice therein.
The bill OF rights announces many
principles Of justice In the abstract
ana the body OF the constitution gives
practical application to many OF these
principles in the concrete.
This Constitution places the artin-
cial person-the c0rporation-on the
same plane as the natural person
the man-and guarantees to each the
equal protection of the law
The ordinance pn Railroads and
Public Service Corporations: that on
Private Corporations; that on lnsur-
nnce and the Fellow Servant Ordin-
ance, embcdy the best thought Of mod
ern statesmanship on these important
subjects and give assurance that the
people OF the state OF Oklahoma may
be the governing force in TIE new
commonwealth for all time to come
II they are diligent and watchful to
enforce the rights guaranteed them
under tho Constitution
Are not these reasons plenteous
why the Consultation should be adop-
ted?
