R-apinq the Harvest.

A play of rare huban interest A
true to lfe picture of the world and
Us ways. A novel and exceptionally
inte esting story of the heart, the
UPS and downs of life, the merry
laugh and the penitent tear are a few
of the ideas which go to make up the
story of that charming play "Eeaping
the Harvest"
A young man a trifle TOO worldly
his business partner and rival in love,
their sweetheart and a woman whose
sin has made her a social outcast to
gether with a stern parenF, a faithful
negro nanny, a sentimental office
boy, an eccentric inn-keeper and his
brother, remnant of good days that
were in the shape of an old time sport,
a sweet faced baby boy and several
oehers contribute each their share in
unfolding one of the strongest plots
and interpreting one of the prettiest
stories of laughter and tears the stage
has ever known.
This attraction will be at the Brooks
Friday night March 2s.

delight in territorial form Of govern

ever looked back upon the days Of its
territorial existence with pride. A
territorial form of gov rnment Is
without pride o. ancestry or nope OF
pos,erity. AS far as The American
continent is concerned the sooner
the territorial condition Is abolished
the better Il will be for the nation. It
was never intended that a territory
should exist after il mad sufficient

Personally. have no doubt Of the
admission Of Oklahoma as state.
believe that congress is fair and will
see that justice prevails. Our people
are anxious for admission now, so
that they can participate in the next
Presidential election. and in my iudg
ment. that privilege will be accorded
them by this congress"

REEVES AN OLD
CAMPAIGN STORY.
Delegate Flynn Resales Washington
With an Oklahoma story.

Delegate Dennis Flynn of Oklaho-
ma, has a German constituent whose
name. for the purposes of this story,
is Henry, says the Washington Post.
The worthy German, who speaks with
a broad accent. wanted a place as oil
inspector, and came to Flynn with his
application.
That's all right said Flynn, but
you should see the governor. Tell him
what you want, and he win fix it,"
Henry went to the governor. A few
days later he saw Flynn again. Den
NY he said, L haf vent to the gov
nor and I haf told him vot want. He
says he will gif me due consideration.
| says to him that do not want due
consideration, but wants the inspee-
torship, | says to him 20 CIR that due
consideration TO the other feller. BY
the way, Denny, vat sort of a place is
this due consideration anyway"

on another basis, regardless of what
personal desires might dictate"
Governor Ferguson has been be
sieged by a number Of probable candi-
dates for the congressional nomina-
ton, who desire the aid of the gov.
ernor of the central committee. Gov
ernor Ferguson. however, refuses to
have anything to do with the matter,
preferring to let the prospective can
uidate settle the matter in his own
mind relative to being a candidate.

THE CASE FOR OKLAHOMA.
Delegate Flynn's Published Argument
For Statehood.

In letter to the New York Tribune,
Delegate Flynn presents The reason
Why Oklahoma is entitled 10 state
hood. After giving statistics which
are familiar to newspaper readers.
MIR. Flynn says:
"The most remarkable condition
presented in the rapid development
and settlement Of Oklahoma is the
fact that its population is unlike that
Of any other territory A foreigner
in Oklahoma is almost unknown. The
territory embracing this last large
area OF tinable land where irrigation
is not necessary has been settled and
occupied by native born Americans
from all parts OF our country. There
is a blending in this terri iory of the
North and the South. Northern push
and energy commingle with Southern
hospitality and courteousness, and, on
the same farm, the Nor,he.n wheat
kiises the white down OF the Gotten
OF the South. The past does not
record, nor can the future hope for,
another example Of such wonderful
advancement and growth as has been
witnessed in Oklahoma within little
more than a decade.
In claiming statehood, the people
OF Oklahoma do so because they be
lieve that they can show 20 congress
not only all the necessary qualihca
tions but also better qualifications aud
more reasons than were ever advanc-
cd by any territory that has applied
for admission into me sisterhood Of
states. They believe that there are
more people within the boundary of
the territory than were ever claimed
