Oklahoma Constitution.

The Oklahoma convention is ot interest as being state convention of the present day. It contains much of the modern political thought. but although Democrats were in the ajority, it doesn { appear to be a document calculated to set the world afire.
 A brief summary of it's leading provisions, prepared by the lack son { (Miss.) Clariot Ledger, dis closes narrowness of thought in several respects, but Democracy has touched it and enlightened 1t along lines which tend to protect the people from an overdose of the politician among officials.
 The summary referred to shows that, acting under advice of Democrats in congress, the propo sltion to engraft separate coach bill was Iaid aside. in order to pre- vent any possible hitch when con- gress is called upon to act"
 We are of the opinion that the convention did not anticipate the displeasure of congress in the mat ter of linn Grow law. but de clined % enact thts measure lest President Roosevelt. finding 1t there, should reject the whole con- stitution. The fact IS there is not even any mention of what con. gress might do with the new con stitution, but the air was full of suggestive fears as to the probable action of the president Sugges tive because they indicae the alarming extent of exective en- croachment upon the legislative branch of government
 Among other important actions mentioned in the summary women were denied the right of suffrage.

made of what might be said during the interview" cannot cfface the fact that the railroad king went to the White House more than once on the request of the President Mir Roosevelt seems to have acquired distrnst only when he learned Hartman was talking as he wrote in the Webster letter.
 It is quite safe to appeal to popular sympathy by attacking Hartman. who is generally ac eepted as exemplifying the worst tendencies ot those who control the great aggregations of wealth which have become the vital problem of the Twentieth Cen turv. Hartman spells auathe- ma for millions of Americans, so President Roosevelt commands q large measure of popnlar sym pathv when he appears as the victim of very unpopular man.
 But even those who are glad enough to see Hartman ham mered bv the "big stick" wield ed at the White House cannot be blind to the fact these recent disclosures offer cumulative con tirmation of the large that the great corporations poured large sums of money into the Repuhli- can campaign treasury in 1904. This is not denied. but 1t is said by way of excuse. that the cor porations made their contribu- tions voluntarily and not as a response to black mailing de- mands. The excuse answers a charge that was never made. It was not necessary to black mail directly. The need of official fa- vor made direct threat of official oppression superfuous.
 aGloss 1t over as you may with spacious explanations. the story of the adminlstra tion's relations to the great corporations and the manipulating fuanciers who control them makes unpleasant reading. Even Democrats can wish the record had never been made. for It increases the compli- cations of the grave problems of legislation these powerful latter day combinations of capital have imposed, both upon the Federal and State governments 1t doesn't help things in the least to learn that President Roosevelt intends to press his railroad policy with increased vigor as a means of getting even with Hartman. Wise legisla- tion cannot be conceived in pique or enacted in a fit of re- sentiment Reptile

THE HARTMAN MATTER.
President Roosevelt's explan

President Roosevelt's explana- tion of the relations between him and E. H. Hartman is scarcely convincing. Of course, we must depend largely on the publications in the inspired press for an understanding of the Presidents view of the case. but with all allowance for possible errors there seems to be a well. determined White House version of the story. On that the pub lie are entitled to pass judg- ment.
 In the minds of reasonable people there eau be but one con- clusion. Mir. Roosevelt had an intimacy of association with Nr. Hartman, and there was a frequency of consulta tion be tween them that cannot be rec nnciled with the view now put forward that the. President was holding the railway magnate at arms length It is obviously only recent discovery that MT Hartman isso dangerous a man he should only be admit ted tothe White House under meta phorical guard.
