STATEHOOD FOR OKLAHOMA.

The rapid settlement of the Indian res
ervations recently opened makes the early
admission Of Oklahoma as a State practi-
cally certain. In fact. the Territory was
fully entitled TO admission without any in
crease of population. and a bill for the pur-
pose was introduced at the last session of
Congress by senate Fairbanks. His bill
provided that Congress might, in its discre-
ton. attach the Indian Territory to Okla
homa. At that time the people of the two
Territories were considerably divided over
the proposition. most of the residents of
the Indian Territory wishing to come in as
a separate State. The Indian Territory
does not embrace the reservations recently
opened. but lies east of Oklahoma. The
Fairbanks bill provided for immediate
statehood for Oklahoma, leaving it to Con-
gress to determine later on what should be
done with the Indian Territory. As now or
ganized. Oklahoma has an area of SS,715
square m~iles-about two thousand square
miles more than Indiana. and a good aver
age size for a State. The addition of the
Indian Territory would make a large State.
but nothing like as large as Texas or Cali
fornia. The population of Oklahoma in 1900
was 29s. 245, and it has probably been in
creased 100, 900 by the addition of the reser-
~vations recently opened. These figures re-
late to white population alone. the number
of Indians in 1900 being 13.s73. In every
other respect besides population Oklahoma
is fully entitled to statehood. 1t has a fine
public school system, a territorial
university, two normal schools. an
agricultural and mechanical college
and a colored agricultural and nor
NAL college. There are in the Territory
about 9O church organizations, with a
membership of 10000 and owning church
property valued at $4,000. The Territory is
well equipped with banks. insurance COM
panies, building and loan associations and
other financial organizations. Its charita-
BILE and benevolent institutions are we'll
supported. In short. in every essential fea-
ture of statehood Oklahoma is now far in
advance of most of the States at the time
of their admission. If admitted at the next
session OF Congress. as Ii Is pretty sure to
be. and If the Indian Territory should be
added TO ii, there would be by 1904 a State
with a population of fully "A million, with
two senators and five or six representatives
and with seven or eight votes in the Elec-
toral College. Thus 1t will be seen Okla
homa is full OF interesting possibilities.
