COURT DECISION
FAVORABLE: To
AMENDMENTS
PEOPLE WILL VOTE ON VESTS
INITIATED AMENDMENTS IN NO.
VEMsER-oPINIoN BY JUSTICE
eLEAkMORE.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Aug. 2.-The
supreme court today in an opinion by
Justice Bleakmore, which was con-
Cured in by all the justices except
Loofburrow, who was absent from the
city affirmed the Secretary of State
| in the West initiated amendments to
the constitution. The case was taken
to the supreme court Monday. 1t is a
record for speed. This decision means
that the amendments which aim to
change the form of the legislature and
| supreme court and accomplish other
reforms, will be voted on by the peo-
pie probably in the November cleo
ton. Politically it will operate as vim
dication of Vests platform in the pres
ent campaign. The Court announced
that the decision in the appeals by
Parker w. Cress will be adopted in ap-
peas by H. NJ. Sinclaire for the So
cialists. The court says the fact that
the Attorney General is a candidate for
office and champion of the proposed
amendments does not disqualify him
to perform such duties as to prepar-
ing ballot title as are imposed upon
him by law.
The opinion concludes as follows:
Generally the power to propose and
cd - Natt md
to amend their constitution is vested
in the people. And in the exercise of
such power they constitute the legis-
lative branch of the state government,
and are not subject to interference or
controlled by the judiciary. 1t is within
the power of the courts to determine
what the law is, after it has been
enacted, and whether it conflicts with
the provisions of the federal constitu-
ton, but the courts are without power
to say what law shall or shall not be
enacted. The powers of the courts are
exercised when questions arise in
cases brought before them in the or
dinary course of litigation, in passing
upon the substantial rights of parties
thereto and then only are they called
upon to decide whether law has been
legally enacted, or whether any change
in the constitution has been legally eff
fected.
From an examination OF the entire
record we find that the petitions are
valid in form as required by the stat
ute, are signed by a sufficient number
of citizens and legal voters of the
state, and should be submitted to the
qualified electors of this state"

L lectured to $500 Teachers During tho
Summer. Notice to Children.

from Tonkawa where he delivered a
course of lectures of the school there
and finished his work for the summer.

ing the summer at the different nor
NAL schools in the state and feels
that his work of the summer has
broadened him and given him many
new ideas which he will bring home to
nos own pupils. While giving out what
he knows to other teachers, he has at
the same time gathered in many new
ideas that can be practically applied
to his work. lie states that he is
glad to get back to Ardmore, that he
appreciates the town more since he
has been absent, that the people here
seem to be more wide awake, and
take keen interest in affairs about
them.
Prof. Richards wants the children to
begin now to compile report of the
money they have earned during vaca-
ton, and to state how the money was
earned, how much was saved, how
much spent, and for what purpose. The
lessons of thrift will be continued in
the public schools They will be made
better, if possible, and every child will
be encouraged to do something.

There are 10000 democratic voters
in Oklahoma. There are 10000 re-
publican votes, sixty per cent of the
republicans will vote in the demo-

The theory that 10000 votes will NOM

who vote in the democratic primary
will stick to the ticket this fall,
which eliminates the possibility Of
