STATEHOOD MOVEMENT

Ardmoreite: Judge Bradford
has retufad from Oklahoma City,
where he went Sunday to confer
with single statehood leaders of
that territory.
In conversation with the re-
parter this morning Judge Brad
sord spoke very enthusiastically
of the outcome of the conference.
He stated that the meeting was
political, both republicans
and democrats being present, and
that the interest manifested was
strong and gives promise OF a
thorough organization in the
statehood campaign about to be
launched.
The preliminary plan adopted
is to issue a circular letter in ad-
vocacy Of the movement and re.
questing the use of the names of
recipients to call to be issued
later for a joint convention. 1t
is the intention to hold the con-
vcntion between the 1st and 10th
of December so that the plans
adopted by the convention may
be urged on the attention of con-
gress early in the coming session.
Judge Bradford says that the
leaders of the movement in Okla
homa are anxious for the people
Of the Indian Territory to work
in he lead in this movement, be-
cause it IS here that the greatest
opposition to the movement will
be encountered. They want the
convention held in the Indian
Territory, preferably at South
McAlester, and are willing that
the officers of the convention be
selected from the Indian Territory
delegates. In fact, the idea is for
the Indian Territory to take the
lead, while Oklahoma comes in
merely as an active supporter of
all plans 10 ameliorate conditions
here and hasten statehood for the
two territories under one govern
ment.
The circular letters will be is
sued in few days and then the
campaign for single statehood
will be fairly launched, Judge
Bradford seems very confident of
the success of moyemcnt--Wag-
oner Sayings.

CRIME GOES UNCHECKED.

A special to the Kansas City
Times from Oklahoma City con-
tains the following;
Indian Territory papers are pre-
dieting that inside of three months
the Territory will again be the
refuge of all outlaws and fugitives
from justice. Their is precious
little law now in some parts OF the
Territory, and If matters gel much
worse every man will have to look
out for himself. A very large per
cent of the people are law abiding
and deprecate lawIess acts. But
they can not afford to condemn
misdemeanors too strongly, when
it seems to them that many acts
which are classed as mlsdemeanors
are just aud proper.
The Indians have good cause to
complain Of the law. Their lawyers
can hardly keep up with the differ
ent constructions. The Curtis bIll
is supposed to be the law, but
W en- an Indian agent wants to do
something he can find some clause
in some old law that was not re.
pealed that will, according to his
construction, justify his act.
If a man should be killed in an
incorporated town, the city mar
shal has authority to make arrest
ard gather evidence agalnsC the
murderer. II man should be kill
ed outside OF an inco porated town,
his neighbors bury the body, and
when deputy marshal comes along
they tell him all the circumstances
they know. The murderer may have
reached California before the
marshal hears If it. The mrrshal
may or may not investigate the
case. In large number of cases an
investigation is useless because
there IS no means of making il
thorough.
The comptroller of the currency
has heretofore been allowing mar.
shals and deputies certain fees for
their work, but now he has revers-
ed hinsolf and decides that onlv
fees are to be allowed.
These fees, in some instances, would
not be a tenth part of the cost
which the marshal would incur in
out the law, and, of
course, the marshal does not wish
to load himself down with work
hat costs more than lie gets out of
i. In capital eases and illegal in.
reducing or selling whisky, the |
more liberal fee is still allowed,
,ut in cases below capital offense,

Organization of all description

in congress TO give this territory
relief. The press association OF
the territory should be strength

centrate on some plain of action.
Let the action be political as 1t
will, but totally void of party. 1t
matters not who is elected-by
united action, on that line, we
can gain our points. Party poll

Indian Commissioner Jones, in

Branch Ot the Philadelphia Museum.

The location of branch of the Philadei- phia Museum in the south is a subject that deserves earnest attention in this town: for unless some action is taken here and elsewhere the branch institution may be located in Atlanta, which is ever ready to take all 1t can reach. The object of the branch museum Is to promote and foster exports, and Atlanta has no export trade, and never will have In the Carolinas cot ton goods are made for export, and Char lotte is the focus of it. In this district iron, steel and coal are ready for export, and some is going out, and more-much more-will go when the Warrior river Is opened. In Memphis, raw cotton is sent ley gives 1t other and further grounds as a location of the proposed branch.
 But Birmingham at the heart of the iron and coal industries of the south, in a high and healthful location, accessible from all parts of the cotton states, is the place where the branch exhibit of samples for
 
 be placed and it is where is will be placed if the advantages of this city for such a purpose-its tonnage, export trade and the like-are explained to the directorate of the Philadelphia Museum. The gall of At lanta will otherwise seize the prize, all though the people of that town do not know an export package when they see one. It is a harbor for corn whskey, but the natives of our new possessions and of other distant lands have not been educated up to the nutrient valve of corn juice. This is a good subject for handling by the Com mercial club and Secretary Gibson and his associates should urge action in favor of the southern iron exporting city

INDEPENDENCE
,om the Selma Times.

From the Selma Times
 The. contention of The Age-Herald that independence" in newspaper Is chimera of the brain is very we'll taken, but there is a kind of independence in newspapers that is very necessary for them to hold to in order for them to retain the respect and confidence of the community in their role of conservators of public morals. On that mark The Times toed, and we are gratifed to be lieves taht our esteemed contemporary is in close touch with it.
 The Times recognizes that its course is guided to a large extent by the tone of society in the community in which it is published, and as that society is noted for its culture, it's refinement and it's abhor- renee of shams it will do all in it's power to maintain it's past reputation in that line and strive to better it in the fuure.
 To question The Times loyalty to party and to doubt it's due observance of its party's mandates would be calling in ques- tion the honesty and sincerity of the man. agement and the business qualifications and proved democracy of the owner.
 The Times does not aspire to be the mouthpiece of the democratic party, but a useful member, as it has proved in the past, and it will continue along that line.

operated by some of the magnates in that combination.
 When MT Morgan said that if he thought he could. in courtesy to the absent sen- ators, he would call up the Nicaragua canal bill and pass it, his democratic colleagues are not to think that his re- mark was directed to republican absentees alone. The latter are playing the game of their monopolistic masters with intelli- gent iniquity. The former are yet under observation What they may do is yet to be seen. But they may as well understand that the country is watching them with the distinct knowledge that the game is in their hands; that if the other twenty-five democrats stand by Senator Morgan there will be no adjournment until the Nicaragua canal bill has been brought to a direct vote and its friends and enemies placed eter- nally on record

RetaIiations Upon Germany.

The German meat bill if it go through the bundesrath as it went through the reich stag, will shut out all meat from the coun- try in cans, all sausage meat, and nearly all fresh meat. Whatever fresh meat is ad- plitted will have to be carried in refriger- ator steamers under almost impossible con- ditions. The bill as it stands is a blow aimed straight at the meat and cattle in- dustries of this country. The agrarian party demands it, not in the interest of revenue or of health, but of rentals of their own lands. The agrarians demand the meat bill as the price of voters for the naval increase bill that the government wants above any other measure. The bill is not a tariff or importations in the interest of home pro- ducers. It proposes to put up home prices by excluding foreign meats. Will this country stand such legislation? Will pro- hioitlon be met by measure of retalia- ton equally damaging to German interests? Congressman Bailey, voicing the sentiments of the cattle owners of all the western and southwestern states, believes in retalia- tion, and he has introduced this bill:
 That whenever the president of the United States shall be informed that the government of the German empire has passed law imposing prohibitory duties on meat products which may be imported into that country from the United States, he shall issue a proclamation fixing time when all articles produced or manufactured in the German empire when entered for consumption at the ports of the United States shall pay duty of 10 per cent. in excess of the duties imposed thereon prior to the passage of this act; and all such products and manufactures when so en- tered for consumption after said time, fixed by the president, shall pay the increased duties."
 There is no reason why any party or any, body should oppose the Bailey bill, and if 1t does not go through congress during the present session, it certainly will next win ter. If it become law, 1t will not only teach Germany a much-needed lesson, but it will be an object lesson to all other bumptious countries. All countries seek a market here, and the Bailey bill is warning to every one of them that fair play is ex- pected by this country if trade relations are to be kept up to their best.
