AS SEEN BY THE REPUBLICAN
PRESS.


The constitutional convention is
making a mess Of it, according to the
republican press.
It il doing nothing and doing that
wrong
1t is killing time and simultaneously
railroading propositions.
It's too bad; it is painful to see the
republican brethren SO worried but it
is not unexpected; they have been
worried ever since the democrats
cleaned them UP IN the last election
and more troubles are likely in store
for them.
1t is quite evident that better
constitution could be ground out in
twenty-four hours in the State Capt.
tai office than the convention could
possibly make in six months, but
the people have delegated the job Of
making the constitution to this con-
vention, 50 what are you going to do
about it?
According to these eminent author
tiles, it is very staple task to write
an up-to-date constitution. All you
have to do is to get out your Declara-
ton of independence, a copy Of the
constitution Of the United States and
few samples of state constitutions,
patch them together and, presto, the
monumental work is completed.
But the democratic statesmen don't
like It in that way. They are under
the impression that it is their duty
to give Oklahoma a constitution "pal
excellence" a document that will moi
be a mere crazy quilt Of worn out
garments from other states. They
want it T. combine the wisdom
CLEANED from the experience Of al
the states and at the same time be
distinctively Oklahoma constitution
adopted to the needs Of our state an,
to conditions as they exist today The,
realize that they can't do piece 0
work Of this kind in week, mont
OF two months and they are deter
mined not to slight it in the least d.
gree.
1t is not to be expected that grea
Legislative body of this sort shoul
perform its work without. friction
without any disagreement among tn
members. There's no cause to worr
over the little clashes Of opinion tha
arise. When the convention has con
pleted its work and the constitution
presented to the people, it win
time to pass judgment on how well
has been done. There is every re;
son to believe that the result will
what the Democrats promised an
what the people expect, the best sta
constitution ever written.

The city councils action in grant
ing fifty year electric light fran
chiso was not expected by the public.
Barring the ifty-year period there
was nothing Objectionable in the
franchise. The council took the view
that circumstances, growing out Of
the street railway affair, justified this
large concession, but it is possible, if.
during the fifty years Of the life Of
the franchise, Chickasha should be-
come a large city, the next generation
may not take such kindly view Of it.
The rates stipulated in the franchise
are fair and reasonable now, but no
body knows how much the cost OF
producing electricity may be reduced
during the next fifty years and how
valuable such a franchise might be
in large city.

AN UP-TO-DATE CHAPLAIN.

The Rev. Jacob RAIDER is chaplain Of
the Colorado state senate.
1t takes a man who is fervent in
prayer to bring the divine favor down
upon a state legislature.
And the Colorado legislature-well
you may have heard Of it.
The Rev. Mr.. RAIDER has already
shown that he is on to his job. He
is an up-to-now chaplain and the
messages which he sends up to the
throne Of grace are sparks from a
live wire.
On the opening day Of the legisla-
ture the chaplain said: 1--WE thank
thee, God, chat there are Jobs for ev-
erybody, and that thou hast been so
generous in supplying them" Fer
vid, "Amens," were felt, if not spoken
after this utterance.,
The day for the election Of senator
came and the chaplain sent wireless
to the courts above conveying this
information "This day the gener-
al assembly will be called upon to
chose man to represent Colorado in
the brighetest body in the nation.
He doubtless was under the impress
sion that the daily papers were not
read in Heaven ard that this bit Of
news would be appreciated.
But the chaplain had better ogt
than this. In opening his prayer h
said "We thank Thee, God, that W,
are all alive this morning, sober anC
out Of jail That was certainly I
cause for gratitude and more "amens'
were heard. The parson had made :
"hit" but it evidently hit somebody il
the wrong place.
The next day one of the senator
took the chaplain to task and aske
him to explain. That's it, 2 said tn
chaplain; "when you shoot into
bunch Of coyotes and one Of ther
yelps, you can tell which one wa
HIT
There is grave danger that the cha
lain will lose his job.
