STATEHOOD THEIR DUE
OKLAHOMA, NEW MEXICO AND

Judge Gavin's Speech at Banquet Commemorating Signing of the John Jay Treaty-Schley
 the Guest of Honor.

Kansas City, Nov. 19.-Rear Admiral Winfield Scott schley was the guest of honor tonight at the annual banquet of the Commercial Club held in commemo- ration of the signing of the John Jay treaty. The affair was a notable one and Admiral Schley was given a decided ovation. the climax of a day of enthu- siastic greeting to the naval hero.
 The banquet, held at the Midland Hotel. was most elaborate. Plates were laid for 800. the capacity of the hall, and among the guests were Captain 8. Row. an. U. S. A, Atchisen, Kas., who ''car- ried the message to Garcia;" General John c. Bates. commander of the De- partment of Missouri; Hugh Gordon Mill Ter of Norfolk. Assistant United States District Attorney of Virginia; Judge C. l. Gavin of Raton, N. M; w. H. Ross ington of Topeka, Governor William E.. Stanley of Kansas. and Frank Strong, Chancellor of the University of Kansas.
 Toasts were responded to as follows: "A Message to Garcia" Captain A. s. Rowan: Statehood for the Territories. Judge J. c. Gavin; The Star SpanGled Banner, Hugh Gordon Miller; The Amer lean Sailor, Admiral W. s. Schley. The next step in Western development, satd Judge Gavin in his speech, must be the redemption of the territories and the according to them their place in the sis terhood of States which is theirs by right of population. wealth and intelli- gence.
 NO section in the United States or the world for that matter has shown more rapid development than Oklahoma In thirteen years a barren pasture has been nho fa fr,Ifffll On Fdan and population from few Indians and cow boys has increased to half million peo- pie, with more push and energy to the acre than any other section of the Uni ted States. Should they be denied state hood?
 New Mexico has been knocking at the doors of the Union since 1850, when, as a sovereign State, she controls her waters every valley and arrayo will be a source of wealth apd teem with plen- ty; her mountains of mineral will be exploited and yield in rich abundance; her plains will welcome the improved bred stock and gladden. the hearts of the stockman. Is she not entitled to State hood?
 '.Arizon seeks admission upon the ground that herself and her resources are such as entities her to admission. The territory is one of the foremost sec tions of the country from a mining stand point, and her agricultural interests com mend themselves in judging of her wealth and possibilities.
 "The vast resources of these territories have scarcely been touched. They have lain dormant for want of capital to ex- ploit and develop them.
 Tn every way they have demonstrated their ability to govern themselves"
 Then said Judge Gavin in conclu- sion, do not let politics or sentiment stand in the way of rendering justice to these people. but let the halo of three new stars in our flag brighten the commercial way to our Oriental possessions.'

HAD HIS LESSON LEARNED.
Bright Pupil in MT. Rockefeller's Sunday School Gave n nood Ansxvar


 John D. Rockefeller. Jr.. as Is well known, is an ardent Sunday school work CT and superintends a gathering of youngsters every Sunday. His experiences are not unlike those of other religious workers and the answers to some of his queries are amusing. In fact. one an- swer was embarrassing rather than amusing.
 He desired to encourage the members of his class to commit to memory cer- tain Bible verses. Sometimes the teach CT would quote a portion of the sentence, halt, and almost involuntarily the student would complete it.
 ''The earth Is the Lord's?' suggested the teacher.
 The boy could not continue. And the fullness there" encouraged MT. Rockefeller.
 Belongs to the Standard OH Com pany.'' added the pupil.

CHAIRMAN WOOD CALLS COM
 MITTEE TOGETHER.
Will Decide Whether Question of a Dispensary Shall Be Submitted
 to Vote of the Democrats.

 c~l- NNy 10


 Selma, Nov. 19.
 Chaidman Felix M. Wood of the City Democratic Executive Committee, has called that body together, on the request of Ernest Lamar, for the purpose of de- ciding whether an election shall be or dered of the Democrats of this city to guide the members of the Legislature in the matter of a dispensary for the city of Selma. The committee met once before and decided by a vote of to 3 that 1t had no right to order an election on the question. Chairman Wood writes a long card and winds it up with these words:
 However, in deference to the opinions of a large number of Democrats. whose wishes I respect, who have every right of petition and whose petition should be given hearing; and, believing that the best interests of the party will be sub served by this action, a meeting of the Democratic Executive Committee of the city of Selma Is hereby called for Thurs day next at noon, in the rooms of the Register in Chancery, at the court house" A good deal of curiosity is being aroused as to whether there will be a quorum present tomo rrow when the committee is called to order. A good many are of the opinion that the members of the com mittee who are opposed to the holding Of an election on the question. composing large majority of the committee, will re- main away, thus breaking quorum. In that event the three members who want to hold an election to decide the matter. may adjourn from time to time until they can get a quorum.
 A great deal of interest is being mani fested in the fight that MT. Lamar has precipitated. It is a question that is be- ing argued on high grounds. and thus far no personalities have been injected into It. It is sincerely to be hoped that the contest to the end will be conducted on the same high grounds. and the matter fought out on principle, perfectly free from mudslinging and personalities.
