AMENDMENTS
FOR VOTERS
SEVERAL CHANGES SUBMITTED
BY LEGISLATURE - MEASURE
DESIGNED TO TAKE PLACE OF
GRANDFATHER CLAUSE.

Oklahoma City, March 5.-In addi-
tion to the nominations TO BE made
by the several political parties at the
election to be held by Oklahoma,
Aug. l, this year, large number of
proposed amendments to the state
constitution are to be passed upon by
the voters.
The recent extraordinary session of
the state legislature framed one pro-
posed amendment that is of general
importance, for the reason that it
affects the right of suffrage. This
amendment is a sort of grandfather
clause based upon patriotism or ser
vice in the armies and nayies. Men
who have lhus served and their de-
scendants are exempted from any
literacy test; others must pass such
test in order to be entitled to vote.
1t is obvious that the test will fall
most heavily upon the negroes.
Another amendment is that initia-
ted by the socialist party of this
state which is intended to change
the election laws so that each of the
three parties having the largest fol-
lowing in this state shall have equal
representation in the management Of
elections. This would, of course, give
to the socialists and republicans the
same power that the democrats would
have in these elections. There is
some reason to believe that this qucs-
ton may not be submitted by the
governor at the August election, the
theory being that an act of the recent
legislature gives him the power to
defer it until November.
Submitted by Regular Session.
The regular session of the fifth
legislature passed eight resolutions
submitting proposed amendments to
the people and providing that they
shall be voted on in the August pri-

The Blood Tie Most important

Columns on columns have been written
and published about 'the poor little rich

between his own father and a step-fath-
or. The boy. eleven years old, was the
son of William Mills. .Jr. His mother, a
daughter rf George ". Cro~sman, had
been divorced from NILS and had married
Thomas Frederick Lee Of While Plains.
Mr.. CrosSman died and his will left over

with the mother. The mother died. and
the child remained with the stcp-father
and the Step-father's mother. Lower
courts had rejected the real fathers APP

ION Of this Department decides that the
fathers rights are supreme. A guardian
satisfactory to Mr.. Mills will handle the
property, and father and son will spend
their Christmas together.
The yindication Of the blood tie. as more
important than anything else is interest

not genuine. There VS. no doubt that
