relish the idea OF being forced to decide
between the Nicaraguan and Panama
routes and for the isthmian canal. He
believes that congress should assume

authority for the statement. however.
that the president would accept the
unpleasant duty of deciding between
the two routes rather than have fail

Our democratic friends are fond of
charging republicans with narrow
partfsanship in dealing with the state
hood question, and yet the only politics
that has cropped up this session origi-
mates with Senators Bailey of Texas
and Jones of Arkansas. They have set
themselves up in opposition to the peo-
pie of Oklahoma and in opposition to
the prevailing sentiment in congress,
by insisting that Oklahoma and the
Indian territory shall be admitted as
two states instead of one. Their object.
of course, is to obtain two democratic
senators from the Indian territory.
Washington advices are that this
mullish attitude of Bailey and Jones
may wreck Oklahoma's chances for
statehood in the senate-and of course
If Oklahoma fails Arizona and New
Mexico can hardly succeed.
