new USE FOR INITIATIVE
Oklahoma Candidate for GOvernO
Adopts Novel Plan.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, July 10.
Oklahoma has employed both the
initiative and the referendum SO free
ly and for such diverse purposes that
it's citizens thought their possibilities
were exhausted. Attorney General
West, however, who is candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
governor, has discovered a new use
for the initiative, and one that
threatens to deal knockout blow to
the long-settled idea as to the pur-
pose and use of political platform.
West has prepared and is having
initiated five amendments to the state
constitution that express his ideas
as to the reforms most needed in
Oklahoma. He is using these five
bills as his platform, and they will
be voted upon in August at the PR
mary election. If the people decide
to nominate West they have at the
same time an opportunity to put his
platform on the statute books.

The Secrets OF

Senator Stone has apparently
thrown wide open the question as to
whether it is advisable to continue
running the government by secret
methods and it is altogether likely
that his challenge to the effect that
senators who have divulged some
thing of the proceedings of the COM
mittee having in charge the hearings
on treaties have violated their honor,
will be met. The American people
are greatly interested in the pending
treaty with Colombia and many of
them would like to know the inside
reasons for the proposed payment OF
$25, 100000. There apparently is no
objection to an apology being offered
to Colombia if it is actually due that

The Isles of Pines.
After the Spanish American war
there was a long drawn out dispute
as to whether the Isle Of Pines be-
longed to the United States or Cuba
Uncle Sam finally surrendered his
title, but the island in the meantime
enchanted a good many people anc
now nearly 80 per cent of the entire
area is owned by Americans. Stories
of the great wealth of timber on the
island have been circulated and there
have been plenty of investors patient
ly waiting to realize the promised
fortunes.
Consul General James l.. Rogers
at Havana, Cuba. has written the
state department to the effect that
there has been a remarkable devel-
opment in the islands in citrus-fruit
raising and other agricultural effort
While the consul does not mention
the fact, yet it is matter of know
ledge to some people In Washington
that at one time q number of United
States officials in Cuba and the Isle
of Pines attempted to secure corner
on pineapples and did SO. But before
tHCy 6OI IhIOu6h with thCiA OApCA
fence most of them had barely enough
money left to pay their fare back to
the United States. 1t is estimated
that the population of the island is
about 5000 people, of which perhaps
1000 are Americans.
The Money Shot at Vera Cruz.
1t has already cost the American
government more than a million and
quarter dollars for its exhibition
pulled off at Vera Cruz. Notwith-
standing the big expense of our en-

specifies that the government of the
United States will not claim war

Honest Abe" Reminders
Soon to Be Torn Down

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE Ma
tional Capital today Joined In the
celebration of the 105th anniversary
OF Abraham Lincoln. The celebration
found deeper significance than usual
in Washington because this was the
cas- TGIM uoIqM 6epqlIIq s.uIoouFI ASH
standing two of the most historic of
the landmarks connected with the
life and death of the great enamel
pator. They are Fords Theatre,
where Lincoln was assassinated, and
the Lincoln Toy Shop" where Lin
coin with his little son, Tad sought
relief from the cares of the Civil War
in play with lead soldiers.
Because of the needs of the govern
ment and the march of commerce the
building inspector has decreed the
passing cf these two buildings so init
mately connected with the life Of Lin
coin, and both have been condemned
and will be torn down before the Ma
tional Capital again observes the
birth of Lincoln.
