AMENDMENTS TO THE FEDERAL CON.
STITUTION.

Forty-three years have passed since the last
amendment to the Constitution 1t was the final echo
Of the civil war:
After this long lapse the sixteenth amendment
seems certain to be proclaimed this year, and the
seventeenth providing for the direct election of
Senators-is only little behind if. Thirty-6ve
States have ratified the income-tax amendment SUBJ
n,itted to them four years ago, and only is
necessary to complete the requisite three-fourths
The seventeenth, providing for election of United
States Senators by popular vote, submitted last
year and has been approved by ten States. 1t is
expected to receive many at the, sessions this
year.
West Virginias legislature is the latest to ratify
the income tax. Tne vote of Pennsylvania is ex-
pected soon, completing the quota. Besides Penn
syvana eight more States are still act of which
New Jersey Florida, New Mexico, and Wyoming are
regarded as certain to vote in the affirmative
Although the process of changing the Constitu-
ton is slow, the operation of the machinery was
delayed in the case of the income-tax question by
the great differences of opinion which existed The
amendment which is now all but ratified provides
that the tax may be levied without apportionment
among tine States according to population and an
income derived from any source. There is no doubt
that preponderance of public sentiment demanded
this change in 1894 but not until fifteen years later
was Congress able to agree on submitting it.

FROM SEVEN GOVERNORS.

An unprecedented number of governors have
recommended woman suffrage this year in their
messages to tine State legislatures. The custom
began more than thirty years ago in Massachusetts,
where governors of varying political faiths have
recommended it score of times. Colonel Roosevelt
was the first governor outside of Massachusetts, to
take such action so far as we are aware. He recon-.
mended woman suffrage in his inaugural message to
the New York legislature in 1899. 1t made a great
commotion, and he was bitterly denounced. This
year, wnen Governor Sulzer recommended il, his
action did not cause ripple. The difference marks
the change in public sentiment in fourteen years.
This year there has been quite an epidemic of

On behalf of the e'Men and Religion Movement il
may be said that the proposed increase of 100000
Christians the normal increase due to growth in
population was not intended to be effected in year,
but was expected to be realized in FIVE years.
Ii will thus be necessary to wait until 1917 to
apply the test Meantime the Carol! statistics con-
firm the general belief that the churches that were
the most orthodox were tine only ones that were
growing The Untarians were said to have stood
still in membership, and to have lost last year six
ministers and sixteen churches while Unversalists
fell off $500 in members. DR.. Carroll conceded
$4,000 members to Christian Scientist churches

SENATOR OWEN


The legislature has confidmed the
will o. the people OF Oklahoma as e.S.
pressed III the general election by
eieettng Robert l. Owen United States
senator for a second term.
Senator owen has been one Of the
recognized leaders in the progressive
movement from his first entrance into
public life and he has made a record
in the senate that is highly creditable
to himself and to the state which he
represents. Particularly we'll equip-
ped for the position to which he was
chosen. he became an influential figure
in national life at the cptset.
Oklahoma was fortunate in the Sc
lection Of her first pair Of senator's.
Gore and Owen make team that
compares to advantage with the scna-
torial representatives in any state
Differing widely in personality, they
are one as force in the furtheranee
Of progressive legislation.

the solar year has to be taken into
account. 1t must follow the fourteenth
day Of the Pascal moon, and conse-
quently the lunar month has to be
considered and with these conditions
the days Of the week have to be recon
ciled, as Easter day mus. be Sun
day. The rule observed is that Easter
shall be the hrst Sunday following
the fourteenth day Of the calendar
moon, which happens on or after
March II This calendar moon is not
the real moon Of the heavens, but an
imaginary moon, created for ecclesi-
astical purposes. Nor is March q al
ways the date Of the vernal equinox.
It is usually the goth and sometimes
the 10Th. The date OF Easter is there
fore quite artificial On the date for
Easter most of the great church festi-
walls depend. The beginning Of Lent
and Ash Wednesday is determined BY
the date Of Easter Sunday, and SO is
WhitSunday, and so is Easter day.

cHIcKAsHA is PASSED Up.

Look over the schedule Of the A. G

that is now touring the state and see
when It stops at chickasha. Look

find II for the very simple reason that
II isn't there. DO you know why?
No, The authorities in charge of the
train didn't deliberately pass By
chickasha # is nobodys fault except
our own. 20 you remember a month
or more ago when the Express pub
lished with q big headline on the front
page an invitation to Chickasha to
have the train stop here2 We were
told that the special would visit us il
We were sufficiently interested merely
to let our wants be known and make
the few necessary arrangements but
nobody took the trouble to reply to
the invitation.
No doubt many OF our citizens are
interested In the promotion OF hog AMI
poultry growing in Grady county and
would have been pleased to have the
special come with its exhibits and ex-
perts, but It was the business of mo-
body in particular to let tie eommun.

Of organization ia chickasha to look

erel interest to the community.

The FATAL SPEED MANIA.

When we read Of fatal auto clash
ip a distant state we are inclined ts
pass II by as a meer incident in the
days news, but when It rappens close
to home, 1t naturally causes us to
think a little more seriously
One OF Ends prominent citizens ia
dead as a result Of such an accident
the other day and several others are
badly injured. Witnesses say the big
car was running about IS miles an
hour when it collided with a fire de-
partment truck. IT is needless to say
that to run a car through the business
section Of town at such speed IS
essentially suicide or MURDER which
ever Il may happen to Be.
No doubt the Enid authorities will
now proceed with a vigorous enforce
ment Of the speed limit ordinance, fol-
lowing tae usual custom y locking the
barn door after the horse is gone, but
they cannot undo. the results OF that
frightful calamity.
1t is merely one OF the elements Of
human nature, common to all Of us,
that causes the auto driver to take
chances on speeding; he figures that
the accident won't happen, but the
fact Of the matter is that it does hap
pen. and too frequently, often to his
own sorrow as well as that Of others
who are in no wise responsible for
his action.
Auto s@ners ought to join with the
public in demanding that the speed
limit be strictly enforced and the reck-
less driver ought to be subject to pen
allies severe enough to curb the Grim
inal disregard Of public safety.

AMEN, BRO. DOUGLASS.

Clarence Douglags, writes in the
Maskogee Press as follows:
Kansas City, socially and officially
has declared war on the indecent
dances affected by certain weak-brain-
cd society people and no longer win
the Tango bear dance, bunny hug or
Texas Tommy be tolerated in either
public or private dances.
The disgusting exhibitions in this
class OF amusement have very properly
aroused the Indignation Of good men
and women throughout the county gem
ally and social ostraeism should
promptly follow the attempt Of any
one to bring these features Of the I'm.
derworld into the homes or lives Of
cleah.minded young men and women.
