Favors Single Statehood and a Joint
Territorial Convention.


Favors Single Statehood aud Joint
Territorial Convention.
To the ARDMoREITE:
/ am ready to agree with the
press Of the Territory that it is
high time that something be done
In the direction of securing legis-
lation giving US statehood or ter.
ritorial government.
There never has been or will be
a part of the United States come
into the union through as many
difficulties as the Indian Territory.
1t is going to take work and diplo-
macy to accomplish the end during
the life time of the present adult
population.
Some insist that as soon as the
lands are allotted and the Indian
governments pass by operation of
the treaties, that statehood will
come at once and alone to the In
dian Territory.
If I thought such a thing was
probable / would not say what I
am preparing to say.
Some insist that a territorial
government for the Indian Terri
tory alone is within reach at the
coming session of congress.
My judgment is that neither of
these propositions are in the range
Of possibilities.
Every time we have journeyed
to Washington in the interest of
the people of the Territory we have
been told to wait until the condi-
tions are ripe. They tell us the
Dawes commission will soon allot
the lands, and the townGite COM
missions will survey, appraise and
sell our lots. and then we will have
the basis of a revenue to support
a government.
They then proceed to tell us that
1t is doubtful, very doubtful if the
senate will ever consent to making
two states out of Oklahoma and
the Indian Territory. 1t costs but
little more to govern q large,
wealthy and populous state than
govern a small one. The tendency
of the age is toward light taxes
and low rates of interest.
Many reasons are assigned why
the two territories should be made
one state. I have heard these rea-
sons assigned so many times and
their application is so appropriate
that am convinced that single
statehood is inevitable. We will
get little or no relief for the con-
gested condition of the courts until
we get counties and municipal or
ganization.
We will not get counties and
thorough municipal organization
until we have statehood or terrific
rial organization.
The thing for us to do is to ask
to be made a state or territory with
Oklahoma at the coming session OF
congress. A bill is now pending
for statehood for Oklahoma. Let
US ask that the bill be so amended
as to include the Indian Territory
if not in full fellowship now, fix q
time when it may, become a part OF
Oklahoma upon the happening oi
some event, such as allotment OF
some other change of condition.
1t is not necessary that the allotted
life time Of the Indian governments
should expire in order to give uf
government.

We have heard of Maud on a
summer day, who raked, barefoOted,
the new mown hay; we have read of
the maid in the early morn, who
MIXED the COW with crumpled horn;
and we've read the lays that the poets
sing of the rustling corn and the
flowers of spring; but of all the lays
of tongue or pen, there's naught like
the lay of the Iowa hen. Long, long
before Maud rakes her hay, the Iowa
hen begun to lay, and ere the milk
maid has stirred peg, the hen is up
and has laid the egg; the corn must
rustic and flowers spring if they hold
their own with the barnyard ring. If
Maud is needing new spring gown
she doesn't hustle her hay to town,
but goes to the store and there obtains
her suit with basketful of fresh hen
fruit; if the milkmaid's beau makes a
Sunday call, she doesn't feed him on
milk at all, but works up eggs in a
custard pie and stuffs him full of
chicken fry; and when the old man
wants horn, does he take to the
druggist load of corn? Not much,
he simply robs nest and takes them
to town and you know the rest. He
hangs around the cliques and rings
and talks of politics and things, while
his poor wife stays at home and scowls
but is saved from want by these self
same fowls; for while her husband
fingers there, she watches the cackling
hens with care, and gathers eggs, and
the eggs she'll hide, till she saves
enough to stem the tide. Then hail,
all hail to the Iowa hen, the greatest
blessing to all men. Throw up your
heads ard emit howl for this pre-
serving barnyard fowl! Corn may be
king, but it's plainly seen that the
Iowa hen is the Iowa queen.-Ex.

Great Damage to Crops, Railway Lines

Des MOines, Ia, July THE town
of Steamboat Rock in Hardin county,
Ia, was swept by cyclone at 4 p. m.
yesterday. Hundreds of trees were
blown over and many were pulled up
by the roots. The damage to oats,
corn and wheat crops will lreach thou
sands. No reports of loss OF life have
been received as yet, but it is thought
several persons were killed.
A torrent of rain at St Anthony, In
Marshall county, happened soon after
the cyclone, and the damage wrought
here was fully as great as that by the
clclone. Fully mile of the track of
the Illinois Central railroad was
washed away. The Iowa river rose
three feet within thirty minutes. Mil
ford creek near st. Anthony over-ran
its banks and swept straight down the
railroad track, carrying half a mile of
telephone poles with it. Thousands of
acres of farm lands were flooded and
crops were swept away by the roots,
the soil going with the stalks.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE D0wNED.
Iowa Law Declared Unconstitutional in a
Taxation Case.

laXdlOu Subcs
Ottumwa, July 5.-The consitu-

a reverse Tuesday by a decision
handed down by Judge Frank w.
Eichelberger in an injunction case re-
Gently brought by citizens of Ottumwa
against the city council and city Of
ficers of said city. Some time ago
Andrew Carnegie offered the city $780,
600 for a public library on the provis-
ion that said city guarantee $1,000 an
nually for its support.
According to the statute. the women
were permitted to vote on the PROPOSE
ton to accept or reject the offer. BY
the women's vote it carried. Opponents
of the measure began injunction pro-
ceedings and Judge Eichelberger an
nounced his decision as above stated
on the ground that the constitution
does not recognize as voters any ex-
cept male adult citizens.
