nected Herewith, being referred to

A Natter Of Custom.


Matter Of Custom.
burlington took much pleasure
in riding his wheel through the
parks and in seeing the women
ride.
'Don't you Think he was ask.
ed one day, "that some Of the
ladies have their skirts made un-
necessarily scant this year?'
"No," he replied, mot at all.
Why should they be compelled to
wear long, tapping skirts to in
terfere with their comfort and de-
tract from the grace that women
naturally have on wheels? The
skirts are none too short. They
might even be shorter without
hurting propriety at all. This
old idea that a woman's clothes
must be made to hide her feet is
all nonsense. We live in an en-
lightened age now. 1t was all
right once to punish man for
insinuating that the queen OF
Spain had legs, but we are not
living in medieval times.
'It's all a matter of custom, any
way. You never think anything
of 1t when you see lady down
town now with skirts on that
reach but half way from her knees
to her ankles, and there is no rea-
son why she should not wear a
bicycle skirt that comes only to
her knees if she wants to.
eyes, sir! The women are I
emancipating themselves. They
are showing some independence in |
their taste for dress. They know
that we men know they have
knees, 20 what's the use keeping
them hidden ana making them
selves uncomfortable?
81 claim that woman can be
just as modest In a bicycle skirt
that shows the tops of her golf
stockings as 1t is possible for her
to be in one Of those gowns that
drag along behind her and gather
up all the dirt IN the streets. "
But it happened that Turling-
ton met his sister in the park next /
day, and she wore a skirt that
but little below her knees.
burlington narrowly escaped
q fit right there, aud he
vowed that he would disown the
girl if he ever saw her in such a
'candalous costume again.
Right in Line.
"Well, I'm glad to see that at
east one Of the Chicago courts is
aoing its share toward making

statehood question, ana az tne
next session of congress will most
likely do something in the premis-
es, have concluded to tell what |
know about this matter. have
given considerable study to this
subject the past year and must say
my views are different from those
Of the press of the Indian Terri
tory and perhaps the views of
the people. | can not see wherein
it is feasible, or practicable in a
business sense to advocate double
statehood. In the first place the
Indian Territory is too small and
too weak to make state by it's
self. The combined areas of tn
Indian and Oklahoma territories
are.about So, 900 square miles about
the exact size of the state of Mis-
souri,. Now to make division OF
this area as it is now bounded
would leave the Indian Territory
about 81, 900 square miles. This.
any one can see would be small
state to begin with, to say nothing
about the financial status of the
Question. | never have known ofI
a state to be enlarged after it was
once admitted as state by con-
gress, and hence there would be
no prospects Of enlargement after
once established. We notice that
great and rich states like Illinois
and Missouri get into financial
straits once in while and how
would it be with small and weak |
state. But we note the main and
only objection advanced SO far is
the debt of Oklahoma as, against
the admission of the two terrific.
ries into the union as one state.
Now If | am not mistaken the
debt Of Oklahoma as territory is
about 81, 200, 900 which would be
Of course of the new state, if ad-
mitted as one state. This is not
euch great scare and menace af-
ter all, if you will only reflect and
figure little. The local indebt.
edness Of Oklahoma, such as coun-
~, township or city, would not
effect us in the least. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that the land of ths
antire Indian Territory will be
made non-taxable for a period of
years. Therefore personal tax
would be all we would ihavs to pay,
while Oklahoma would be taxed
on all her lands, and hence you
see would have to pay the big end
Of the taxes. Besides this, stop
and think what it would cost to
establish all the machinery Of
state. It would cost Of course as
much for each state as it would
for both. Now again, our little
state Of Indianola would build
capitol building and the various
executive and judicial buildings,
and the insane, blind and deaf and
dumb asylums; itwonld cost More
than our portion Of the Oklahoma
Indebtedness. Furthermore, it'll
would be to maintain permanently
az this would not be temporary
piece Of business. One set Of
state officers would be to maintain
while il two states are made out OF
these territories the permanent
expenses would be double. Now
/ cannot SEQ where there is any
sound argument for double state
hood, unless It be- from men who
aspire to holding some state Office
md Of course most any argument
Fof double statehood would seem
