Immediate Statehood For the
Twin Territories is
Recommended.
AN ELOQUENT PLEA
For Full Enfranohisement for The
Territories is The Feature
Of The Annual Report
Of The Oklahoma
Executive.

The annual report Of Governor
Jenkins, Of Oklahoma, 10 the Sec.
retary of the Interior has been sub.
mitted. 1t contains a most elo-
quent plea for immediate self gov.
ernment for the twin territories.
In referring to the claims Of the
people Of the Indian territory for
eniranchisement the executive
says:
at is claimed by many that the
conditions are not right in .he In.
dian territory for statehood, and it
is true that there are conditions
there which present serious prob
lem for the future, but they can be
worked out as well, or even better
under state government.
"True, there ls no land to tax at
present, but the time is rapidly
coming when there will be, end,
as shown elsewhere in this report,
careful ard very conservative
estimate Of the property there that
would be taxable before statehood
could be fully completed, were an
enabling act passed this winter, is
s25, ,0O0,0 which is greater than
the taxable valuation OF the states
e Arkansas, Florida, Iowa, Cali
iornia, Oregon or Kansas at the
time Of their admission and 25 per
cent greater than the taxable val
uation Of Oklahoma five years
after its organization as a territory.
"And we find there are prosper.
GUS cities and towns, rapidly in
creasing agricultural and mineral
developments and a people fully
capable Of assuming the RESPONSE.
bilities and privileges Of statehood
"Afiairs in the Indian territory
are somewhat chaotic. II is q
question OF legislation and not ad-
minislration which presents itself
The administration under The pres
ent laws and conditions mus
necessarily move slowly. Their,
are too many questions to conside
and difficult problems TO solve fo
the executive department of lhl
government to-be charged with thr
responsibility of solving them a
ng range, and it is praclioall,
impossible for these questions eve
to be satisfactorily solved unit
representatives Of these people
who are responsible 10 the peopl
aud community directly are electe
to congress with the responsibilit
OF working out their difficult pYot

FRIEND OF CRIMINALS.
Kansas officer Turns Self Confessed
ShopIifters Loose.

Two self confessed women shop.
liflers who had robbed the Badgett
mercantile company, Thursday, Of
aeyeral valuable ladies garments,
were, after being arrested on re.
quest OF Marshsl Ledbetter, by
city marshal Charles Johnson, at
Cheiopa, Kansas, turned loose,
with their costly plunder, by the
same officer Saturday.
The authorities here are highly
incensed at the action OF the officer
and Mr.. Badgelt will demand an
official investigation ofhis conduct.
The women, who claimed TO be
residents OF the neighboring ooun.
try, had excited the suspicions Of
the clerks in the store by their ac-
tions while examining goods Thurs
day morning. They spent several
hours in the several departments,
aud it was discovered after their
departure that valuable ladies
jacket and other articles were miss.
ing. Each Of the women wore a
long cape, aud these are supposed
to have been used to cover their
loot.
When the losses were discovered
Marshal Ledbetter was notified
aud a search was at once instituted.
The surrounding towns were noii-
fed, and word was later received
from Chelopa that they had been
arrested. City Marshal johnson,
who is also a deputy sheriff Of La.
bette county, came down in person
Friday to consult Mr.. Badgell and
Marshal Ledbettert and promised
the retention OF the prisoners until
the arrival of a Fedcrai officer.
He also promised that Ia ct 2 they
were willing to return witaout a
requisilion that be would b.iug
them back.
ln auswer to query Saturday
morning from Marshal Lsdbelier,
the Startling answer was received
that the women had been released
What the motive Of the officer
was in turning loose two confessed
criminals wanted in a neighborins
community can only be surmised
The women were supplied with
money, which is suggestive, and
such unwarranied conduct gives
rise to a suspicion that it was not
mere lriendiiness TO criminals thai
accomplished their release.
A report will be made to IN,
proper authorities with the reques
that this alleged officer Of the Law
be called upon for an explanation

ward last night, overlook Jupiter,
which was rapidly passing the
slower Saturn.
The simplest illustration is to
imagine three rings, one within
the other. Three bodies are NOV
ing at different speeds arOund the
greater and lesser circles.
BY mathematical deduction il
can be ascer,ained at what time all
will pass a given point together.
This is what the astronomers
have done in regard to the three
planets, and the difficulty OF the
tack can be cleaned from the fol-
lowing facts:
The last lime that they occupied
relative positions to those Of last
night was 800 years before William
the Conqueror invaded England.
Taking the distance that each was
from the earth last night will give
some idea Of the difference in their
"clrcles."
Venus was but "A 100000 miles
away; Jupiter was flashing out Its
light at $40, 600, 900 miles. Saturn
