DALLAS GETS m LINE.

The efforts of the Territory to
pc. outside assistance in command
ing the attention of congress and
securing needed legislation are
meeting with hearty responses from
neighboring states. Commercial
clubs in various cities are respond
ing to the. call with strong resolu-
tions addressed to their congress-
men urging proper attention to the
just demands of the Territory. The
Dallas Commercial club is the most
recent one to take such action. In
speaking of the action the News
says:
A committee of the citizens of
the Indian Territory to whom was
entrusted the work of preparing a
memorial to congress asking cer-
tain relief in the form of much
needed legislation relating to the
affairs of the Territory, requested
the assistance of the Commercial
Club in securing the desired relief.
The resolutions prepared by com
mittee were read, and having been
adopted by the club, were made
the subject of request that the
Texas representatives in congress
use their best efforts to forward
the measures referred to in the res.
olusions. 1t was stated that the
conditions in the Territory made
some such congressional action
highly important and the relief ask
ed by the business men and citizen:
is indicated in the following docu
ment:.
Then follows the memorial adopt
ed by the convention at South Nc
Alester, after which the News con
tinues:
On motion of Mr.. j. E. Farnes
worth, the secretary of the clul
was directed to communicate theS,
resolutions to Congressman Burk
and the other members of the Texa
delegation, together with the re
quest OF the club that earnest con
sideration be given TO the matter
and the necessary relief afforded I,
the Territory.
Such action as this will inevita
bly, result in securing for the Ter
ritory that recognition at the hand
of congress to which it is justl
entitled. The movement is we
organized and we'll directed and
persistently continued will brin
its reward.

THE senate has at last passed
the Puerto Rican bill to return to
the inhabitants of the island the
money collected from them unjust
ly on imports. The very fact that
the bill provides for the return of
the duties collected is evidence that
the republicans consider the tariff
unjust. 1t is to continue in favor
with the protected campaign con-
tributors that this injustice on a
people who ought to be free is
perpetrated by the administration
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1900-03-18

THE independence of the Orange
Free State is a thing of the past
and British reports say the people
welcome the yoke that is placed
upon their necks. If such be the
case they have been free too long
already. The burghers of the
Transvaal are different. They
assert they will fight to the last.
They deserve to be free, and unless
all history is overthrown they or
their decendents will be free.

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 6.-Today is
the anniversary of the birth OF the
Saviour, according to the teachings OF
the Graeco-Russian church, and a

and picturesque manner by the 100 or
more Russian officers and men, who are
in Philadelphia temporarily during the
construction of war ships and locomo-
tives for their government. Inc
service, being the first of its kind ever
held in this city, was the object OF
much puclic interest.
Special vesper services we're held az
an early hour this morning in small
church edifce borrowed for the occa-
sion, bishop of the Greek church In
New York officiating. The bishop and
attendant priests were arrayed in their
full robes of office, that of the bishop
being of rich purple.
After the church services the Rus
sian officers and workmen devoted the
day to merriment and sports in the
same manner that the Cay is celebrat-
ed by the millions of the czar's sub
jects iu his great European and Asiatic
domain
