Post with saying that the cattle raisers OF
the west are bending every effort to the

very inadequate percentage of the profits
arising from the recent rise in price to
consumers, the combine taking most Of it
and leaving them the insignificant end of
the gain.

AN A. P. A. VICTORY.
Omaha People Indignant, Bat the Re-
publican Legislature Carries
Its Point.

Lincoln, Neb., April 5.--The bill which
will place Omaha's fire and police depart
ments in the hands of the A. P. A. has
passed the legislature over the governors
veto. The measure provides that the
governor, attorney general and commits
sloner of public lands and buildings
shall appoint the persons who shall
constitute the Omaha fire and police CON-
mission, two of whom may be of the same
party. The attorney general and com
missioner of the public lands and build
ings are A. P. AS. Every business man
of prominence in Omaha protested
against the measure, since II cuts the
mayor of the city off from all participa-
tion in the control of city affairs. The
police commission at present is q nom
partisan body.
When the bill passed the house there
ensued scene of wild confusion. Tom
Majors sprang into the center of the
aisle and waved his hat, at the same
time giving wild yell. The lobby sang
"Well Hang JEFF Davis to a Sour Apple
Tree.
All Omaha is indignant over the re-
sult and will probably carry the matter
to the supreme court.

AIoGIcAL CONTENTION.

The Guthrie State Capital has
until recently been an advocate of
single statehood for Oklahoma
and the Indian Territory Ii has
now changed front. and veryilogic-
ally contends for the admission "f
Oklahoma separately and indie
pendently. In this position the
ARDMoRE1TE agrees with the Capt.
tai. except that it contends for Il
constitutional proviso that the
present boundaries may be cnlarg
ed from time to time 10y additions
from the Indian Territory
The following from its columns
outlines the Capitals present
policy:
The only sensible thing for
oklahoma to do is 70 drop cow
pletcly the single statehood idea:
to demand immediate statehood Ior
oklahoma alone. It might do no
harm to ask that a clause he put
in the enabling sct declaring that
the Oklahoma constitution shall
have a proviso that whenever con
grcs> deems wise, and the Indians
Will consent. that any one or ali OF
the five civilized tribes shall be-
added to the state of Oklahoma.
And yet it is hardly probable that
congress would enter into amy such
proposition.
The only kind OF statehood that
offers any promise within two
years is statehood for Oklahoma
with its present boundaries The
people had just as we'll settle down
to this inevitable conclusion and
cease the loading down Of the
question with phylartaria> of delay

l.. =. ANDERSON, president of
the First National Bank suggests
to the ARDMOREITE a practical
plan which if followed ont cannot
fail to result in the accomplishment
of good. 1t is for the business
men, those who really compose the
solid business element to call meet
ings in ArdmOre and other Terri
tory towns and agree to line OF
action to be prosecuted in the
interest of townsite or other RENE
dial legislation. His idea, and it
is an excellent one. is that these
gentlemen, each constitute himself
a committee of one to write per
sOnal letters. the merchant to his
wholesale dealers, and the banker
to his associations, and CORES
pOndents, setting forth our wants
and requesting them in turn to
make such recommendation to
their representatives in congress
as in their judgment the situation
warrants. There is no doubt but
that such influences are necessary.
The members of congress will
listen to an influential constituent
when they would turn a deaf ear
to an outsider. By all means let
Mr.. Anderson's plan be put into
execution.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1895-12-08

THOSE things which our people

1t will stop the movement of pro-

Never yet has there been an appeal

more real justice. and fraught with
more good to many thousands of
people than that which will be
presented by the people of the

work in the proper direction We
