The WRONG PLACE.

A Couple Who Were Married When
They Had no Need to DO So.
A good story is being told of Penn
sylvania preacher. One Sunday after
noon a couple called at tie parsonage
and in broken English inquired, so the
reverend gentleman understood, if the
preacher maa" lived there. Ana, on
being invited in they commenced pre-
pairing their toilet OF course it was
supposed they had come to be married
and every assistance was given by the
preacher and good wife in getting
ready for the ceremony. The bridal
veil and wreath were carefully ad-
justed by the lady, and the gentleman
carefully combed his hair. Then their
nands were joined and the solemn
words were spoken which bind
humans together in wedlock.
The ceremony over, of course it was
supposed the newly-married couple
would be in haste to depart. But il
was not SO with them, and by their
actions they BETRAYED that they ex.
pected something else before leaving.
Finally the reverend gentleman re-
marked, "Well, now you are married, I"
and the answer came. "Oh, yes, We
bin married last February, and nov
want unse" Sigture daken-" A feather
would hare lsnocke down the preacher
upon the revelation. 1t was the
''picture man" they were looking for,
and not The preacher man" How
ever, there can now be no mistake
about their being married. and that
aha knot N tied good aad tight

fatGIiy for the Dem cratic major
ity in CoDgrs SIS to admit the three
territories of New Mexico, Utah
and Arizj ma and exclude the Ter
rit ry of Oklah mi. Such a gross
discrimination against the most
populuu5 AMI most promising Of
the f,ur territories applying for
admission could not possibly be
excused by the plea that it wa
made necessary from the hostile at
titudo of the Five Tribss toward
statehood. Indian sentiment is
divided on the sat, hood question.
There is as mich reason to assume
that an Indian majority favOrs the
prop psition as that su:h a N j,rity
opposes it. The appointment of
an expensive and entirely super
fuOus commission to investigate
and report as to the condition of
Indian pablo opiaion is So paipa-
bly, part of a policy to defer action
on the main question that it de
C ives body. The obvious rem
edY in the event Of practically
unanimous Indian opposition to
statehood would be the org tniza-
tion Of an Indian Territory includ-
ing the tribes and leaving all of
that great section embraced in
what is now Oklahoma Territory
to be admitted as a state.
This settlem mt would be so sat
isfactOIy to all the cOnfl citing in
ter sts invoivel that it is hard to
understand why it does t readily
comm nd itself to the Dem cratic
Congressm IN. Their apparent
failure to understand it leaves them
open to the charge that they are
willing to subordinate the valid
claims of an int"ll gent and pro-
gspssive people to purely party
considerations But Democratic
opposition to Oklahoma statehood
is more apparent than real The
