Pealy of llrown university, In n scries of nrtlcltvs wrllli'ti last year In regard to our Mate constitu tions, staled that "It Is not likely that nny future constitution will nitrons In him that of UiuUlann," but liU pro diction has nlrondy been pro on In correct. Tho onrllost iilnto constitutions wi dow contained over 5.000 words, nnd averaged much less, hut tho tendency has nil nloiiK been toward lengthening them out. Now tho shortost constitu tion, that of Ithode Inland, contains nbout 0,000 words, and the average Is nbout 15,r,00 Tho largest nrc those of Alabama, which used 33.000 word. Virginia 35,000 nnd l-oulslana 16.000. Tho reason for the enormous length of tho Oklahoma constitution U tho name one which U resionslblo for tho oilier constitutions which had hitherto been regarded of abnormally long, the Inclusion of much matter which Is properly legislative Tho chapter on public service corporations nlono con talus over 7,000 words, or more than the eutlro constitution of llhodo Island. It outlines u full scheme for corporation control, Including most of tho Texas statutes on the subject. There seemed to be so groat n distrust of tho legislature, on account of the charges of bribery nnd Incapacity In other slate, that the tendency was to limit and regulate In overy way possible tho power of tho legislature, so ns to rcduco tho posslulllty of mischief. Another source of additional verbl age In the Oklahoma constitution wns the county boundaries chapter of over K.000 words, which was to n ccrlnln extent made necossary by tbo fact that the Indian Territory section of the now state was entirely unorgan ized nnd new counties had of course to bo created nnd defined. These two chapters on public corpo rations nnd county boundatrles wero the ones of greater ningultude, al though there were of coumo many others which were admitted to lie properly legislative In their character, but for which there was a popular de mand which the convention considered It Its province lo fill.

Mr. James replied with cold gravity that If tho passage as It stood, which represented his careful nnd studied thought, did not explain Itself to tho man's mind he did tmt deem It nd vUnble to enter Into nny verbal dis cussion of It. Mr. James' method of work Is a deliberate nnd thoughtful one. He first dictates tho draft of what he Is writing to his secretary; who puts tho draft Into typewrlton form with simres between tho lines. The author goes over Ibis carefulfy with pen and Ink, elaborating, lnteri (dating and adding new Ideas nnd thoughts.
