On November 10th, 1907, the proc

cred into political being the state
of oklahoma. Already the people had
adopted a constitution to protect
their rights and safeguard their
liberties. This constitution has been
variously appraised by those who
have READ and studied it. Its enc
mics characterize 1t as novel, radical

for it a degree of perfection, not
hitherto attained in the organic law
of any sister state. Let us see
which, if either, is right in the es-
innate placed upon that document.
We assert that there is nothing
radical or strikingly new in our
constitution. We have simply acted
the part of wise citizens, and have
attempted to profit by the expert
ence OF ohers, and in writing our
fundamental law, we have embodied
in it, the best provisions to be found
in other state constitutions, so that
