Notwithstanding the almost SOL

Notwithstanding the almost SOL
id opposition of the Indian Ter
ritory, as expressed through its
newspapers, against the single
statehood idea, the Purcell Register
keeps up the same old racket,
thus carrying on the fight ab.o-
lutely single handed, except for an
occasional growl of approval from
the Minco Minstrel. Thus the
matter has narrowed itself down
to Purcell and Minco. Now it
seems to us this whole matter can
be easily compromised. In the
first place special act can be
worked through congress attach
ing Purcell TO Lexington. Or
what would be better, have q strip
of land taken off Of the Indian
Territory along the Canadian river
wide enough to take in Purcell
and Minco and attaching the strip
to Oklahoma. We can well spare
the territory and we would also be
able to crafty these two editors.
What say our brethren to this
plan? Let every one say aye
Brother in Red.
