kINGFIsHER, 0. T., Jan. 15.-The
statehood convention, which was in
session here until late last night.
brought over thousand delegates and
other interested persons to Kingfsher.
The convention, which was wholly har-
monious, adopted resolutions petitioning
the present congress to pass an enabling
act, providing for the admission of Ok
lahoma as state. There was no strife
as to the question of single statehood or
double statehood. The resolution
simply petitions for statehood, with
such boundaries as congress may direct,
with the simple recommendation that
If the Indian Territory shall be included
the residents in each of the five civil.
lied tribes and Oklahoma shall vote
separately upon the acceptance or re-
lection OF state constitution, which
shall be operative for such of said
sections as accept it. The convention
also adopted resolution urging the
passage of the free home bill, which
has passed the senate and is now pend
ing in the house of representatives.

There is the middle of the road and
there is the middle of the middle of the

demonetize both gold and silver. The
time has come to abolish this system of
barbarism. All the wrangling in the
civilized world is caused by this devil
lsh system. 1t is Mammon worship and
nothing else. We have been, as reform
ers, monkeying around with side issues
long enough. Let us begin now to be-
siege the citadel of the enemy. This
coin money system is the central pillar
IN which the temple of plutooracy
.tands. Pull that down and the whole
'abric tumbles into ruin. Coin money is
lle hotbed out of which usury grows.
Osury is the taproot evil Of the world.
