homa, the infant commonwealth
i.Such is the prize baby of Democ--racy
and is held up as a "horrible
'trample" of precocious depravity by
tie Republicans, today rounded out
tie second year of its short exist
ence. During these two short years
- lias attempted reforms which have
sareited comment all over the nation,
sd ias proved itself in every way
a "warm baby.''
One of the most important of the
-Rifilntive reforms which Qklaho-L.-tans
have attempted, the hank
icunranty law, has been emulated in
several states and is being agitated
in auuiy others, with the possible re
.aiJi that it will spred all over the
cwuntry. The system has many crit
t. in high places, who allege that
?ach a law makes the honest-banker
responsible for the defections of his
tlishonest brother. The fathers of
she jAan in Oklahoma profess to be
ntire)y satisfied with its workings.
Thty point out that it is a provis
m f nature that the innocent must
,-uUffer for the guilty, and that it is
.as -well that the bankers should do
some of the suffering, rather than
u should all be loaded upon the
equally innocent depositors, who
bavt always heretofore had to hold
ihe bag.
The history of Oklahoma during
the io years it has been .a state
Sias been marked by a constant camp
"ng on the trail of corporations. All
kinds of laws for their regulation
taie been passed, but the fever is
r.ow apparently subsiding and the
wed of large corporations for the
development of the new state is
"ing regulated.
Oklahoma was admitted . to the
jxryot, of states on November lfi,
iS07 The people of Oklahoma and
ladta Territory had struggled for
vsu for statehood, and finally
er permitted to launch into the
rfiiid for self-government as a sov-
'rrigxx state.
Wild demonstrations marked the
oeq)t of the news at 9 o'clock on
rfcc anorning of November 16, that
Prreadejit Roosevelt had issued and
signed the proclomation admitting
'Oklahoma- Immediately following
ae- mew s Governor C. N. Haskell and
x complete set o State, county, and
township officers were inaugurated,
the State ceremonies occurring at
Guthrie.
On December 2, or about two
I weeks after the admission of the
State, the first legislature of tlie
State convened at Guthrie. It was
composed of 153 members, 109 in
the house and forty-four in the Sen
ate. There were but eighteen Re
publicans in the house and five in
the senate, all the other members
being Democratic'
The legislature was confronted
with the task of revising and ad
ding to the statutes of Oklahoma
Territory. Governor Haskell at the
opening of the legislature submitted
a long message, and the legislature,
with its overwhelming Democratic
majority, put through most of the
measures suggested. t
These included a Jim Crow law
j for the separation of the races, a
l law guaranteeing the safety of de
' posits in banks, a stringent prohi
; bition and dispensary law konwn as
the "Billups bill," and something
; over 200 other measures. The leg
i islature was in session six months.
; Sewerage Co. Applies for Charter.
i The articles of corporation for the
'Brownsville Sewerage Company were
this morning sent to Austin, and it is
expected that within the course of
the next few days a charter will he
issued to the company. The namesf
those who appear as incorporators
are A. A. Browne, E. A. McGary, C.
P. Barreda and Louis Crixell. The
capital stock of the company is $2,5,
300, one half of which is paid in. As
soon as a charter has been issued a
meeting of the board of directors
will be called and officers for the
company elected.
Below is published the program for
the District Sunday School convention
of Cameron and Hidalgo counties,
which will be held at Harlingen on
the night of November 22 and No- j
ember 2.5, as previously reported.
It is expected that every Sunday
School in the valley will attend, all
denominations being invited to take
part in this convention. Although
these conventions have for a number
of years been conducted throughout
the country this is the first attempt
to hold one in the Lower Rio Grande
Valley. It is the intention of those
instrumental in starting this good
work to hold several conventions each
year, with the object of pushing the
work of the Sunday Schools. It is
also proposed to secure some lecturer
of national repute at different times
to assist in the work of this eonven
tion.

There was a man in New York
worth $G0,000,000, but nobody knew
anything about him till he died and
left half his fortune to schools and
churches. He never was divorced,
never ran after chorus girls, bet on
horse races, nor anything of that sort
in fact, never had the average rich

Mescal Smuggler Arrested.
The latter part of last week
Mounted Inspectors Burt McDowell
and Anglin, stationed at Harlingen,
arrested at Santa Maria a Mexican
by the name of Felippe Briones on
a charge of having received and
having in his possession three and a
quarter gallons of mescal that had
been smuggled into this country.
Briones was brought here Saturday
night on the branch train by Inspec
tors Anglin and McDowell and was
given an examining hearing before
U. S. Commissioner A. B. Cole.
Briones pleaded guilty to the charge
and was placed under a ?25 bond by
Commissioner Cole, to await the ac
tion of the Federal grand jury which
meets here next month. Not being
able to give the necessary bond,
Briones was lodged in jail, where he
will remain until the Federal court
takes action in the matter.
