A SIDE LIGHT ON THE FIGHT.

A study of the actual working of the
new constitution and some of the
pressing problems of the day will dis
close some OF its good points, as we'll
as some of the real reasons why II is
being so vigorously opposed.
The Standard oil company has
thrived on exclusive privileges and
grown rich from the ruin of others.
In his recent report TO President
Roosevelt. Herbert Knox Smith, com
missioner of corporations Of the de-
partment ~ commerce and labor,
severely arraigned the Standard.
Among other things he said;
"One method adopted by the Stand
ard Oil company TO prevent independ-
ent interests from laying pipe lines,
particularly 10 the Atlantic seaboard,
has been to buy up the lands along
the route which the rival line was TO
follow or to secure rights of way of
its own across such routes. a more
effective method has been to enlist the
Support of railroads in refusing to a
rival rights OF way across their track
These practices have caused independ-
ent pipe lines delay, litigation and ex-
pense even in states where they have
by law the right of eminent domain
AS already stated, the statutes of
New Jersey do not give pipeline corl-
panies right nj eminent domain; and,
as no pipe line can cross the state 10
New York harbor without going under
OF over the lines of several railroads
this proved a means of finally defeat
ing independent pipe line projects
seeking the great market"
Now, If the new constitution should
be adopted let us see what would be-
come of that game in Oklahoma.
Section of article 9, reads:
Every railroad, oil pipe, car, eS-
press. telephone or telegraph corpo'
ration or association organized OF
authorized 10 do a transportation OF
transmission business under the laws
OF this state for such purpose, shall
each respectively, have the right to
construct and operate its line between
any points in this state and as such
to connect at the state line with like
lines; and every such company shall
have the right with its road or line
to intersect, connect with, or cross
any railroad orsuch line.
From this 1t appe3rs that the max
ers Of the new constitution understood
the block system themselves aDd put
fnll stop to such monopolistic man
euyers on the part of the Standard
Yet this is only one of the many
cases where the new constitution puts
the rights of the people above corpp
rate and monopolistic greed.
A little reflection on some such
points as these throws food OF light
both in the value of the new consti
triton and the powerful forces ar
raigned against 1t.

The marvellous conqnests of King
Cotton are readily disclosed from a
careful study of the recent report OF
the Department Of Commerce and
Labor. The estimated value Of the
crop of 1906. as shown in table g. is
$72I.G47. .237. compared with s632,29S.-
332 for the year 1905 and with S652,-
0Sl ,6S6 for 1904. The value Of the
crop Of 1906 is greater than that OF
1905 By $S9,34S. .905 The value of the
crops for the FIVE year period ending
with 1906 is S3,16S, ,423, ,569 compared
with st.529,5O2. .235 for the five year
period ending Nth 1889 The average
value of 500 pound bale of upland
cotton for the later period is s50.05,
excluding the value Of the seed, com
pared with S2l75 for the other period,
an increase Of $3.50 per bale.

When the three attorneys represent
ing the constitutional convention. and
accompanied by State Chairman
Thompson, departed for Washington
d. G., to present their case to the
administration. they went armed with
strong answer TO the republican
charge of gerrymander. The argu-
ment is backed with figures
It is shown that efforts OF the re-
publlcans to steal the constitutional
convention surpassed the alleged par.
tisan making legislative districts
The proof shows that in the making
OF the constitutional districts sections
thought to be democratic were given
an enormous population and area
while sections believed to he repub-
li-an were carved into districts ire
spective OF the population or voting
strength.
In the work Of congress itself the
congressional districts set forth IN
the enabling act are held mp as a
model piece of gerrymander and
grossly i'm conflict as to population.
Carrying this strong presentation
the committee hopes to meet any
charge against the constitutional con
vention that may have been set forth
by the missionaries who hayc gone
before Shawnee Herald.

National Republican Committee VIII
Meet December and Z.

Washington, Oct. 21.-The Republican
national committee will meet in this
city December and for the purpose
of deciding upon the place and time for
holding the next Republican national
convention. Formal announcement to
this effect is made by Harry s. New
acting chairman of the Republican ma
tional committee.
Acting Chairman New, who arrived
here today, had a conference with Ell
mer Dever, secretary of the committee,
when the time for holding the meeting
of the committee was decided upon.
According to Mr.. New, number of
cities have made formal application to
secure the next convention, among
them being Chicago, Kansas City, st.
Louis, Denver, Seattle, Atlantic City
and Pittsburg. From Milwaukee and
ST. Paul also have come Inquiries as to
the prospects of securing the conven-
ton, but Mr.. New said that at this
time he was not committed to any par
ticular place.
''The next convention is going to at
tract a larger number of people than
have heretofore attended" said Mr..
to be taken into account in deciding
upon place for holding the conven-
ton. The first is the accessibility of the
town. 1t must possess adequate trans
portation facilities. Second, it must
have ample first class hotel accommo-
dations. Third it must provide good
hall, sufficient in size and susceptible
of being arranged for the accommoda-
ton of the convention, and further, it
must possess adequate facilities for the
