Tho Anlii)irelto ought to be re strained, or It will cast ii rollectlou upon Oklahoma Journalism, hitherto so conservative ami trustworthy. It publishes nit iiccoiint. with every evi dence f good faith, concerning a livery man naineil Oscar WllUorson, whit resides In Ardmoro, and who has a cotton stalk growing out ot his face, which ho haw shaved off with his whiskers periodically anil which sprouts out analn. This has been going on utilise the nfonnuld gentle man wan "quite a lad" when a had cut wan healed by applying a cotton seed, which covered with cuticle anil bus hIiico tloiirlHlied ami periodically sprouted. Oklahoman. The OUhthoinun Ih not accused of making a Ktatemeiit It can not Jmitl fy. Hut thu Oklahoman dangerously near stands up with that class who say they do not believe half of what they rend In a newspaper. Wo are Him, however, that tho Oklahoman will agree that nobody, except other writers, take tho same pains to bo aecurato that a newspaper does. There is very rniuly an error In any newspaper htnteinont. Nearly every one of them Is true. We all accept them as true and all are verilled day by day and year by year. Lot any one who differs from this, try for a month to gather Information from word of mouth and poo how' much ot It will be accurate. Let blm w If any of It will he as accurate as a newspaper any dally paper. The errors that creep Into newspa pers get there because men give In correct Information. Hut our Inform ant about Mr. JWIlkerHim and tlui cotton stalk whs positively correct. Ho was Mr. Wllkerton's barber, llo knows. Many public men are prono to repudiate their words nfter they llnd tho way the public recehos them. Hut the reporter Is nearly always light and usually has the proof. Thu wholo study of the reporter, the edi tors and tho owners, Is to navo every Item as aecurato as truth Itself. We insist that ashlo from Holy Writ there Is nothing so accurate as Tho Ardmorelte's account of Mr. Wllkerson anil tho cotton stalk. So tho glib accusation, to common, too common, In fact, that half of the statements of a newspaper, or of "newspapers," aro untrue, Is badly wiong. Not half, not one-third, not imo-fourth, not one-tenth of any ten stoiltis, or statements, in nay paper aro oven inaccurate, inueh less false. If persons were ati aecurato and truth ful as newspapers this world would bo decidedly a better place to llvo in. Of course, thoro nro o.xcoptions. Thoso nro usually In tho sensational class of papers. Probably a searching In quiry would roveal that they aro nhlofly responsible for tho accuracy of news items being questioned. - O.J.0 Tho only wn) to keep ymr credit good Is by paying your debts. It Is oasior t."i do poil wori than poor. If you onco Jearn how. Jlnrd work Is no small part of gen- lus, THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. Tho constitutional convention now In session nt (luthrlo Is In many re spects the most remarkable gathering of men that has ever occurred Blneo tho foundation of the republic. No othur state has over been admit ted Into tho union with such grave iu strlctlnns us were contained in t 'o enabling act for tho state ot Oklaho ma. N other statu hns ever been ad mitted Into the union whoso members represent such enormous nnd diversi fied Interests as do tho members of this coiiHtltutloiial convention. Tho work Is even greater than many of the older states had to ileal with when revising their constitutions after many years of statehood. This body of men Iiuh ilenmnstrateil their patriotism and ability to copu with tho many nnd diverse questions which would arise out of tho relation of otin and a half or two millions tit people, separated as they nro by two governments, 1. e., thu government of tho Territory ot Oklahoma ami the government of tho territory comprised In tho Indian Territory. Is It. any wonder that these mem- beiH Blood appalled at tho magnltudo if tho work which lay before them? They were chosen by tholr constltu ontH to do an enormous amount ot work, .'ar-reachlng and Important to every business nnd personal Interest within the boundaries of these two great territories, and to prepare an Instrument that would seal anil unite two peoph'H wh heretofore were gov erned by entliely different govern mental administration. He It said i tho credit of this great body that the grafter and the lobbyist have been kept away fioni its deliberations. All Interests of every character and kind have boon fairly and honorably treated by the mom hers of this convention, both In com mittee and upon the tlor. Tho members have widely differed upon various questloiu that have been presented to the convention, and debate has often been Tnost earnest, and at times apparently extended lio- yonit what seemed necessary to the full solution of tho problem; but these men believing In each ether's Individ ual opinions, have listened patiently and always profitably tv the various opinions expressed upon the floor of tho convention. Well nro they building, and the peo ple In tho near future will show their appreciation of honest ami faithful work by :oinotont halms wion they conic to cast their ballots at the first Htate election, nt which the ratifica tion of thu constitution will be thu paramount Issue. Tho Democratic party, who by a largo majority Is predominant in tho convention, will have a platform of principles so Invulnerable and so re- slstlesrt that tho majority will be swelled Into thousands beyond what It was at tho election last fall. Individual political InfcrestA have over been kept in the backgrouiui, and It can bo truly wild that these meuiberM are building, not for (hem. selves, but lir their children, their children's children and for the future great state of OKLAHOMA. New Htate Tribune. o-M) EDUCATION PERSONALLY SUPER VISED. One of the disheartening experi ence!! of parents nowadays Is that of comparing the mere hook knowledge of the modern child with that of th otith of a past genur.H Ion. Doubt- ess wo are all members of a family whose head received a prize at tho mature ago ot live for reading tho Hlble through. That was a custom ary feat a generation or two ago. Tho average child nowadays Is apt to bo struggling at seven with the primary intricacieii of reading. Was his fath er really so much better equipped for life by his swift skimming of a national literature? It must havo leen a severe discipline In spelling and pronunciation, but It would be llfflcult to believe that any of tho history or thought of that alien anil religious race could havo been appre hended by tho childish mind. Tho cbwslc example, of course, ot early bookish education Is that of tho poor little John Stuart Mill. He began the study of Oreok i.t three. Ho be gan Latin In his eighth year. "At that time 1 had read," ho writes," "under my father's tuition, a number of Clreek prose authors, among thorn, I remember, tho whole of Herodotus and Xeuophon's C'yropaedla and Me morials of Socrntcji; some of tho lives of tho philosophers by Diogenes lJt urtlus; part of Lticlau and Isocrates' ad Dumtmlcum and Ad Nicoclem, I also read, in 1S1I1 (ho was horn in IfiOtl). tho first six dialogues of Plato, from the Kuthyphro to tho Thoaetetus Inclusive." During tho years from 1S10 to 1813 therefore from tho child's fourth to his seventh year ho read, and took notes and reported to his father upon Robertson's His tories, iiuino ami (iimjon ami Wat son's Phillip thu second and third, llooko's Hlxlory of Rome, ' Hollln's Ancient History, Longhornc's traiin l.'itlon of Plutarch, Hurnel'ii History of Ills Own Time, and tho historical parts of the "Annual Iteglstor" up to 17SS; Millar's Historical View ot thy Kngllflh (Jovernment, Mosholm's Uc cleslasticul History, Mcllrlilo's Life of dohn Knox nnd Unity's Histories of tho Quakers. Ho also read for reo lentlon Hoaver's African Memoranda and Collin'n Account of tho First Set tlement of Now South Wtalefl, Anson's Voyages, HawkH worth's Voyages Around tho World, Arabian Nights, Cor.otte's Arabian Tales, Don Quix ote, Miss Kdgeworlh's Moral Talcs nnd Krooko's Kool ot Quality. It would III! too many pages to tell what poor little Mill read from his eighth to his twelfth year. Ho admits, nay, he Insists, that ho was not a child of particularly brilliant parts nor of retentive memory, but his education wan personally supervised, hiiiI, It would scum from his account, very strenuously supervised. .John Stuart Mill nilHseil a great deal ot living by being so early immersed In books; and perhaps, the present generation of rought-nndready little citizens. stumbling over words at sight, aro not to bo pitied. Hut yet there Is a great deal in an education, personally supervised, it saves waste. And, If tho books we gave the little folk from the beginning wero chosen for their content, Instead of for their harmless ncas, doubtless the stony road to learning would be much softened.
