SENATOR CORES REPLY

Answering President Taft's challenge that 'IThe Oklahoma state constitution is a 'zoolog- ical garden of cranks, {" Thomas F. Gore, the blind senator says:
 "The enemies of good government every where will approve the denunciation as heartily as they disapprove the constitution itself and it's salutary restraints. Our constitution must be opposed by all those who oppose the equal protection of the law to labor and capital alike. It must be opposed by all those judges and ex- judges who favor the imprisonment of the clti- zen without trial by jury It must be opposed by all those who favor special privileges, protec tions, subsidies, gratuities, gifts and graft to the few at the expense of the many, and by all those who believe that the jeweed hand of greed should be licensed to pick the threadbare pock- cts of need
 ''It is but natural that different men and diff ferent interests will view the presidents vol canc verbal eruption in different lights. There are several great interests not the least avari- cous or venal that will applaud all that the president was pleased to say. These interests will have an easier triumph in Arizona and New Mexico since the president has seen fit to challenge the spirit of progress in Kansas, Iowa and Wisconsin. These favored interests owe him debt that they will undoubtedly pay.
 'Our constitution must be favored and is favored by the lovers of liberty, equal laws and just government everywhere and by all those who believe with Lincoln in a government of the people, for the people and by the people. Under this constitution Oklahoma has progress ed and prospered. Barring federal interven- tion her people are happy and contented as those of any other commonwealth in the union To the statesman this is convincing, to the preju- diced theorists it is alone unavaiing."

THE MODEL HUSBAND

Give three cheers for Samuel w. Van Nos tran, who carried off the prize at the 'tmode husband" show at Chicago last Saturday night Samuel is possessed of all the virtues necessary to make an ideal hepmate, according to the statements of Mrs. Van Nostran, andsthe jury of twelve women were unable to impeach hel testimony Here is what Mrs. Van Nostrar says:
 Besides possessing the almost su-
 perhusband quality of being good
 natured before breakfast my husband
 allows me to carry the family pocket
 book, and declares, just as if he meant
 it, that my cooking is so far above
 'mother's' efforts in the culinary line
 that there-could be no comparison. If
 that is not glory enough for one woman,
 1 would like to know what is."
 The complete list of desirable qualities at tributed to her husband by Mrs. Van Nostran are: Prompt at meals, good entertainer, adept with the chafng dish, good judge of feminine beauty, gracious and kind-hearted enjoys home more than the club happiest when among friends
 Of course, there were heartburnings, for oth- CT husbands were on display, and their wives put in most eloquent pleas in their behalf, and the contest resulted in as much jealousy as a baby show. No matter what woman says to her husband in private, in public she would make every other woman envious by holding him up as ideal. But for one year there will be no controversy in Chicago. The decision is final, and the blue ribbon will be worn by Mrs. Van Nostran's entry in the contest
