THE NEW CONSTITUTION.

The March-Apri1 issue of Sturm's Oklahoma Magazine contains the full text of the Constitution of the new State which was adopted at the Guth- rie Constitutional Convention. and also portraits and biographical sketches of the members and officials of that body.
 We have heretofore expressed our views on the new organic law of the embyro State and see no reason for a change of, opinion. The instrument Is too long and unwieldy and contains much that should have been left out, as the people of Oklahoma will learn later on. Instead of being merely a Constitution, 1t is largely a code of laws, many of which should have been left for future legislation However, the Constitution has been framed and if the voters ratify 1t and Congress accepts it there Is nothing more to be said by outsiders.
 In A critical review of the new in gtrument Hon. W. H. Murray, Presi- dent of the Convention, points out all the principal features of the Consti- tuition at some length. and seems to be highly pleased with it, Of the per sonnel of the convention he says 1t was remarkable for three things. s.First," he says, "the Convention, in point of general intelligence, surpass- es that of any. other legislative body I ever knew. Second. they are honest Third, this Convention Is remarkable from the standpoint of sobriety." This is high praise, indeed, and speaks we'll for the people of the new State. We truly hope they may not be disappoint- ed in the operations of this Constitu- ton.

 He Was Handed a Lemon.
 Handing a lemon is very funny, in- deed," said a prominent citizen yester- day. but when 1t is put into actual practice, as it has been for several days past, 1t tends to become sSbver- sive of some of our most sacred insti- tutfons. The practice now Is to ask tHe todn or two DltS or iouT pits' sometimes as many dollars. employing more or less equivocal phrase, and when the coin has been acquired, to return g succulent lemon
 Tt was played on me the other day." continued the prominent citizen. "A friend of mine asked me if I had quarter. I told him that I had and produced 1t very proudly indeed, and with such a grand flourish that in taking the coin, he was led to remark that was magnificent. After he had placed the coin securely in his pocket he handed me lemon.
 Next time he asks me if have a quarter he'll not get 1t. And that is what is going to happen generally. Every time a man tries to borrow any money 1t will be thought he Is jest ing. It is never jest with me-un- less I turn 1t into practical joke"

Born October the 18th, 1910 In the
historic town of Bennington, Vermont,
he grew up in family Of four brothers
and one sister. He was given good
education and in his home his mental
and religious powers received the at
tention that God-fearing parents ever
try to instill in their children with
which to go out and fight the battle of

not identified with any church In

A, 4th Vermont infantry and after
three years of service and engaging in
numerous battles he was discharged
with honor to himself and stamped as
one of the defenders of his country

On October 5th, 1882 he led to the
