provision, Is amend their state consu-
tuition, and for so doing a petition IS
required to be filed, signed by num-
ber of petitioners equal to not less
than - per cent of the qualified voters
of The state as indicated by the vote
cast at the last general election; and
such petition was filed, signed by ff
ty odd thousand voters (more than
the required number) during the last
month of March.
The constitution says: When a
question is presented by such a petit
ton, the secretary of state shall re-
ceiye and file the same, the attorney
general shall prepare a ballot title,
and the governor shall fix date for
the election. The governor may call
special election, but If he does not
call a special election, the time shall
be the next general election, same
being due a specified time after the fl.
ing of the petition"
AT the time this petition was at
tempted to be filed. | refused to wit
ness the filing, and the secretary of
state refused to receive and file the
same for the reason that we construed
the term question 20 mean a proper
question; that is, one that would be
valid if an election was held, and the
question approved by a majority OF the
voters. Upon our taking the stand
that this was not valid question, the
petitioners brought an action against
the secretary of state for an order
commanding him to receive and file
the petition, and perform all his Off
cial acts in relation thereto. The case
was argued, submitted to the court
and later the court issued the ordec

Courts Must Say

Courts Must Say.
AS ! understand the duties and
privileges of the governor of this
STATE, there are many instances in
which, in the application of the pro-
visions of our constitution and laws
of the state, where judicial construc-
ton has not already been placed upon
the same. and that it often becomes
the duty of the governor TO place for
the time being executive construction
upon such provisions and laws; and
that the governor may properly follow
his executive construction thereof un-
til such time as the courts, In the dis
charge of their judicial doties, shall
have construed such constitutional
provisions Or laws of the state. There
fore, in all laws OF this character, 1t
is the duty of the governor. If his con-
struction has not been sustained by
the court, to adopt and follow the ju-
dicial construction; hence, since the
secretary of state has been, by the
court, commanded to receive and file
this petition and the attorney general
has prepared the ballot title, We have
carefully considered the question, aid
ed and advised by the attorney gen.
eral of the state, and our conclusions
are:
First: That the rights of the peo-
pie under the initiative and referen-
dunn whenever properly invoked, must
be respected and carried out by all
public officials; that the individual
opinions of pubic officers cannot
properly deny the proper number of
petitioners of this state the right to
have any proper question voted upon;
and while it was my opinion as gov
ernor. prior to the decision of the
court in the case of Threadgill VS.. Sec
retary of State, that this pending ques-
tion is not proper question because
of my belief that it would be uncon-
stitutional If adopted, yet even though
I retain that opinion as a private cit
izen, | have no right to be controlled
by it as a public officer, This subse-
quent decision of the judiciary depart,
ment of OUR government must be ac-
cepted by me as the law of the case,
and particularly is this decision i'm

ADVERTISE SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA LANDS
At VERY LOW RATES FOR NINETY DAYS

The filing OF land suits in the fed
eral court has had the effect Of making
all titles on the Indian Territory side
Of the state questionable and has
served to keep many investors out Of
this state. Such doubts ought not to
exist. There are thousands Of farms
here for sale where the title is as
good as in any portion Of the world,
Southern Oklahoma needs to have
these lands purchased and put in a
state Of cultivation Farmers in other
states need the lands, they should
know that titles are good in Oklahoma,
they should know something Of the
lands and something Of the products
that grow here.
In order TO give the farmer IN other
states an idea of what lands with good
titles are offered for sale here The
Ardmoreite for the next ninety days

cisions for the purpose Of ascertaining
the full meaning and intent of each
decision) | find in the later decision
on the amendment to the suffragr
clause of our constitution that when
il was sought by mandamus TO compel
the secretary of state to receive ana
file referendum petition when ne
has refused, for the reason that the
referendum petition did not present
lawful question, and our supreme
court having sustained the secretary
of state in this connection, ! thereto
draw from the opinion of the supren
court in the Threadgill case that Il.
though probably not to be taken as
final conclusion, but yet of sufficient
probability to warrant its submissio"
to a vote of the people, was the view
taken of this amendment now before

mind that our supreme court would
not in the Threadgill case have order

believed that under the law the people

Must Perform Duties.
Il further understand that, from the
laws and the court decisions, under
the same ruling by which the secre-
tary of state was commanded to re-
ceive and file this petition, an order
from the court would issue command
ing the governor to issue the election
day proclamation excepting solely for
the fact that under our constitution
the governor can neither be enjoined
nor mandamussed by the courts; and
therefore it is even more incumbent
upon the governor, of his own motion,
to perform all duties which the con
stitution and the law impose upon him
without hesitation and being tree from
the compulsory processes of the courts
than would be the -4se if the courts
might command him 10 act.
1T is not he PRIVILEGE of the Ihl9f
executive to deprive "ny eleme Il o.
cur citizenship of any right or privil-
eye they may have under the consti.
tution or laws of this state. His per
sonal views on public questions are for
himself alone-he has no right TO
withhold the privileges due TO any
other citizen. and the greatest enemy
of good government is he who intrust-
ed with public office, would ignore his
duty under the law or substitute his
private opinion for the plain letter OF
the law; and the constitution of this
state ana its laws are what our final
judicial tribunal declare them to mean.

TEST NEAR BEER" IN IDAHO.
Moscow Prosecutor Starts Action In
Court.

MOSCOW prosecutor starts Action In
Court.
Moscow, Idaho.-Is near beer" a
nice Sunday school picnic drink or
is it booze? This question is agita-
ting the mind of Prosecuting Attor-
ney Suppinger and is one which he
will have passed upon by the district
court as soon as he can have a certain
soft-drink dealer in near beer" at
Troy arrested for violation of the law
prohibiting the sale of intoxicating
liquor without a license.
The prosecutor is Of the opinion that
the counterfeit booze contains enough
alcohol to cause intoxication, and as
such is under the ban Of the law and
in order to see whether the courts
will sustain this view he has entered
into agreement with the near beer"
dispensers in the county to make a
test case, and the Troy man has been
selected as the victim, with the un-
derstanding that If he is convicted
and fined the others contribute to
pay the penalty.
The near beer trust" as the COM
bination of dealers is called, has re-
tanned Morgan & Morgan of Moscow
to defend the case, and If they are
defeated in the lower court say they
will appeal. They are putting UP a
fight for existence and will exhaust
the resources of the courts in their
efforts to have the prosecuting at
torney's construction of the law
knocked out, for If he is sustained he
has served notice on them that every
near beer" dispensary in the county
must be closed.
