TURNER'S NARROW ESCAPE.
A Negro Tries to Shoot n Policeman

Policemen Martin and Turner of the

killed at late hour last night, while at

negro. to- the stationhouse. The blue
ing Briscoe with profanity, and after
placing him under arrest were coming
through a narrow alley, when Briscoe
taking Martin off his guard, knocked him
down and started out of the alley on the
run, with Turner close behind him Com
ing to side alley. the fugitive stepped
quickly up against a shed. and drawing
a revolver fired point-blank at Turner,
Luckily for the latter, Briscoe was a
poor marksman. The negro then started
down NJ Street. Turner in the meantime
had drawn his weapon, and was dis
charging it In the air, but this, together
with the discharge Of pistol in the hands
of an unknown colOred man, who fled
prccipitately upon seeing the bluecoats
approach. only tended to increase the ne

The sounds OF the firing attracted a
great crowd Of people. and in a few min

the cries Of the negroes pursuers started
in pursuit on his bicycle. Near the Col

the cars flew by, the conductor politely
pointing to the next car, which, too was
invariably crowded.
The scene at the park was brilliant. The
fair young women and those not so fair

rHE coMINe Nav STATES.

(SI Louis Globe-Democrat.)
The unanimity with which the lead
ing Western newspapers favor the
admission of the remaining territories
to statehood is significant. A strong
statehood movement is under way in
New Mexico and Arizona, while Ok
lahoma has been asking admission for
the past year or two. The fact that
most of the people of Oklahoma and
the Indian territory want these two
to enter as a single state is going to
make Oklahoma's admission easy. In
the census of 1900 Oklahoma was Civ
en- population OF 39s.OOO and the In
dian territory one of $4,000. The
recent in-rush OF settlers into Okla
homa has probably, with the natural
increase aside from this, put that ter
ritory's population up TO 100000 or
over at present
In the present congress, therefore,
the question of the admission of sew
eral OF the territories win receive
much attention Arizona, the small
est of the territories, had 1872, 900 IN
habitants in 1900. but as It more than
doubled In population in the preceding
ten years, the chances are that it viii
reach the 10000 mark by the end Of
the present congress in 1903. New
Mexico. the next smallest of the ter
ritories, had $4,000 population in 1900,
and though it grew TO the extent of
only 90 per cent in the preceding ten
years. it's inhabitants are up to the
unit of population in tn erepresenta-
tlon fthe states in congress. Okla
homa and the Indian territory, IL
united, would enter the union with a
population of not far from 100000,
which would give them great prestige
as state. There are about twenty
states which each have less than that
many inhabitants.

STATEHOOD THE REMEDY.


When it is considered that state
hood would remove Oklahoma poll
tics from Washington to the state
capital il win be surprising II there
is any opposition to the bill admitting
the territory to statehood
Oklahomans are as honest and as
patriotic as the citizens Of any state
in the union. but there is a vast diff
ference between officers elected and
officials appointed This is true in
state. territory or colony,

tion. Local pride rarely makes the
mistake OF pushing a notoriously bad
man for Office.
II man has lived for years in a
community and that. community backs
his character. he is almost sure to
have more good points than bad ones.
How can the president know his
appointees personally? He must de-
pend upon recommendations and ey-
erybody knows the ease with which
petitions are obtained for a man
whom the bosses want selected If
the political machine of New York
or Oklahoma wants to Teward a party
henchman, it is easy to gain the ma
tional executive ear.
Unthinking and partisan papers Ge-
clare Oklahoma politics to be more
corrupt than elsewhere. This is not
true II is the system of government
and not the people which differs from
other communities.
Let Oklahoma elect its governor and
other state officials and they would
average in intelligence, morality, in
tegrity and ability with those Of any
state in the union.
Our system of government demands
that certain officers shall be elected
by the people. The territorial and
colonial appointive system is un.
Democratic and is bound to prove un-
satisfactory.
Statehood will also cure other ills
that are complained of in territories
and colonies.
