1t should be the aim Of every
democrat in the Indian Territory
to unite the party, and to use
every Legitimate endeavor to in
sure the supremacy Of democratic
principles in the years to come.
This Indian country is over
whelmingly democratic and must
remain so, The hope of good
government rests with the demo-
Gratis. We have now a sample OF
the best the republicans can give
us in the present oarpetbag rule
that is TO continue four years, or
until the people throw off the yoke
by popular vote.

The twentieth Century Magazine.

The twentieth Century Magazine.
A new century brings new con
ditions and new methods of meet
ing them. Fifty years ago the
average American was content to
get his news once a week. Now
be demands it twice a day, with
relays hourly when things are
happening in Africa and China.
The Curtis Publishing Company
bought the Saturday Evening Post
because it believed that the public
which demands its newspaper
twice a day, would want popular
literary magazine once a week,
provided it adjusted itself to the
new conditions and rightly
gagged the demand Of the TWEEN
tieth century. And that demand,
it felt, would be for a magazine Of
the best quality that money and
brains could make, sold at as low
a price as modern machinery and
methods could produce it.
To improve the quality and at
the same time lower the price Of a
publication, two things are nee.
essary-a great circulation and the
best machinery that human in
genuity can devise. The first has
been achieved, for the Saturday
Evening Post has a weekly circu-
lation Of quarter Of a million,
and new subscriptions are coming
in at the rate OF thousand a day.
Again, ils ten new presses have
just been installed in its new eight
story building, which, together
with its old facilities, give it the
largest and most complete period.

Statehood with or without Ok
lahoma, at the present time would
mean a burden that the people Of
the Indian Territory should not
assume. State governments are
maintained by taxing the people,
and without taxable land the ter
ritory would find itself paying
personal tax that would be rain
Gus. A territorial form Of govern
ment would be more in keeping
with present conditions. We have
a population of about s400, 900 &C.
cording TO the census reports
without an acre of taxable land.
Oklahoma has about the same
population with practically all it's
land taxable. II we go into
statehood partnership with her
we simply agree to raise as much
money by personal taxation as
she does with land and personal
taxation combined. Such move.
ment would mean the business
death Of every town in the Indian
country until lands could be taxed.
The boomer ciy for statehood with
Oklahoma will find no advocates
among thinking territory people.

No one need be alarmed about

No one ever eaid that it would ex.

The amount found due them by
accountants selected for the pur-
pose. The $4,000 600 was found
to be due the Cherokee Nation, and
the government is honor bound to
pay it to the nation. The attorn

pect to get fee out Of it, and Of
course, want to make IL appear

One Of the arguments made in
favor Of single statehood with Ok
lahoma is that il would abolish
carpet-bog rule and give both ter
ritories self.government. The
difference between Oklahoma car
petbagitm and the kind we already
have is a distinction without a
difference. The Indian Territory
would prefer to be dominated by
the Federal government than Ok
lahoma. A territorial form Of
government for the five tribes is
about what We will get, and Okla
homa can either remain s,e.d-
tory or be admitted - a state.

ILLITERACY IN RUSSIA.

The Gar is enthusiastic in pro
mOtiug the worlds peace-a noble
ideal. But it would perhaps be
well for him to keep a little Of his
reforming zeal for his own empire.
His subjects have need Of it. The
only Obtainable statistics Of the
number Of persons in the Russian
empire who can neither read nor
write are to be- found in the re-
ports Of the army and navy re-
cruiting department. A recruit is
always asked if he can read and
write and his answer is registered.
The latest reports show that 40
per cent of the youths who are
raised by the CONSUMPTION are to-
tally illiterate. As a vast number
more males than females are able
to read in Russia, and it is rare to
find an aged peasant who can read
and write, it may be accepted as a
fact that probably not 20 per cent
of the entire population of the en-
pire has obtained the first rudi-
ments of this knowledge. There
are over 10000 villages in Russia
where no school exists. 1t is cal
that, by disbanding 100,
900 men Of his huge army the Gar
would have funds at his disposal
for building 10000 schools and
10000 village schoolmasters'
houses, and would have million
pounds sterling over for paying
the teachers salaries. And he
would still have 100000 soldiers
a number greater than the COM
bined land forces of England, Ger
many and the United States. Elk
ample is better than precept. Let
Russia set an example of disarma-
sorely needs tx
change.

Mr.. f. G. Marsh, Assessor ant
Registrar Of vo tiers in St. Mary
has resigned bis position, and Mr.
w. t. Jones has been appointed BY
Governor Foster to succeed him.
There have been no complaints
against Mr.. Marsh's administration
Of his office, and no other CONCLUSION
can be drawn from the change thar
that it was for political reasons.
Evidently Mr.. Marsh's policy in The
registration department Ut his office
has not been satisfact to the
democratic leaders. What has been
that policy, that 1t became SO OBJ
jectlonable that he was forced out
of office? We say ssforced out,
because his resignation would no,
have been rendered but for the diff
ferences between himself and the
party managers. What could those
differences have been?
Every white man entitled to re-
gister was allowed, during bis In
cumbency to do 60, regardless OF
party utilization, and no negro,
though domisticated to Democracy,
could count on placing his name on
the registration books. If there il
any mlIk in the cocoa-nut, here 1t ir.
Mr.. Marsh Is probably the most
Incorporating opponent of negro
suffrage among the younger men in
the parish, and this tact has I'M
queslionably played Its part IN
bringing on his resignation. In jus.
tlce to Mr.. Jones, 1T must be said
that he has also been consistent
white supremacist, but We do not
know that he has Mr.. Marsh g strong
and unyeilding repugnance to the
registration of even Democratic ne
groes. Mr.. Marsh was animated by
q fixed principle, which permitted
no exceptions in favor OF trusty
school teachers or reliable commit
teemen of the Wimberly faction.
Mr.. Jones il to staunch an old
school Democrat tor the fear to be
entertained that there will be any
general negro registration, but when
one or two hundred negroes may
hold the balance of power, there
must be, aud VIC do not expect TO
see, the rule against black intruders
relaxed IN any case.
