WHAT FIFTEEN MEMBERS SAY.

There Is a strange contrast between
the words used and the ideas actually
expressed in the convention and the
, impression sought to be fostered by
an over-zealous and partisan opposi-
ton press.
One of the chief delights OF the
scandalmongers Is the attitude OF the
members of the convention on the
subject of private corporations. Meth
er the ordinances passed or reported
for passage Justify the assaults made.
These slanderers need no justifying
cause. what they are trying to make
is political medicine and it suits them
best to make It without reference 20
the facts.
For example. Is it not refreshing to
turn from this tnfounded abuse and
read what fifteen members Of the com
mittee on private corporations have
70 say. Here It is:
I'VE beg to suggest that our people
are withcrt large means, our re-
sources are great. in the most part
consisting OF natures wealth yet I'm.
developed II IL essential. therefore.
that OFT labor and the intelligence of
our people find employment aud op-
portunity at home. and that capital
shorld be available for the deVslop-
ment Of our natural resources. We
realize that none OF these things can
lbe accomplished unless capital is
/ brought into the state. and capital
viii not come under hostile regula-
tbns; therefore It Is essential for the
constitution Of the state of Oklahoma,
while safeguarding in every proper
way the rights of the people to hold
ont TO the world guarantee that
apital invested Ia the state. shall be
respected and protected This can
only be done by establishing toward
II an attitude OF wise and just con-
s servatism. Therefore we respectfully
sgbmit the following report and recon-
mend that same be incorporated in
the constitution o. the proposed state
OF Oklahoma
I These are words taken from the
records OF the convention. These
gentlemen represent the highest Of
I fetal sources. To their words the
wno,e convention pays attention.
They officially voice the temper and
feeling OF all the members.

dinances proposed by the committee
and adopted by the convention have
been published. They are in exact
conformity TO the words and temper
OF the above introduction to the re
port.
1t Is one thing 10 sit around and
yell and paw the air bet II Is quite
another thing to go TO the records for
facts and stick to the truth
Very little attention wotld be paid
to this fnfounded criticism OF the
work Of the convention were II II
colld all be kept at home where peo
pie would sooner or later learn tho
facts and fix the blame on those who
misled them The place where II
hurts is in the impress sion it conveys
to casual readers outside OF the new
state who may only read the coloret
and distorted a,cOrnt and never learn
the truth.
These remarks 90 not apply TO tn,
whole Republican press msch o.
which Is fair and reasonable, but the,
do apply with emphasis TO number
of them that know better and ough
TO do better.

spirit, whose selfish little soul shrinks
at the poverty err the broken speech OF
those who have spent their lives that
she might take step higher in the
social scale. They had seen the young
man dodge the father in oyeralls who
had paid for his tailor made suit. And
out of their contempt for these others
grew an intense admiration for this
bright "swell' and handsome American
girl who knew and loved and appre-
ciated her old Bohemian mother and
was proud OF her.
Some day this girl will marry very
fortunate man. They will live happily
and rear children that will make them
proud. The divorce courts will never
know her. She is the type of splendid
sensible womanhood about which all
that is good and prophetic of good IN

OLD TINE SLEIGHs.

member when they were young people
riding in sleighs--but them they could
not see over the back and they were
made OF wood. Some ran to point at
the front like horizontal steeple. and
on some the runners came up with
curve like a swans neck, in between
which The dasher was placed.
These sleighs We're often top heavy
and @upsets were numerous. This old
style sleigh of our ancestors generally
had an old fashioned "coveret hanging
over the back, but cushions were the
exception. not the rule.
Later the basket sleigh came along
and the more sporty" Of our young
men managed to obtain basket sleigh
for counting business. The basket
sleighs came in all sizes, either for one
or two seats. and had lower back so
that the rider could see out to the rear.
They were painted any color desired, as
the basket came to the sleigh manufac-
turer separately in NESTS" implanted.
The Webster county rural wheelwright
made the runners the blacksmith shod
them, and together the basket sleigh
was gotten In shape. They were con-
sidered quite the thing at one time.
But then along came the more fanciful
Albany and Portland cutters, elaborate
in varnish outside, comfortable and
warm inside, with plush covered backs
and seats. One had oval or curved
backs, the other square cornered. A
real Albany or Portland cutter, made
by the earlier manufacturers, cost con-
siderable and were considered very sty-
5lish. But like the New York wagon"
or buggy, they soon had cheaper imi-
tations, and can now be purchased at
one third the price the original and
better made cutters cost.
