Nothing that has occurred In thir-
teen years has had such tendency to
drive the people OF Indian territory
away from Oklahoma, as has this vii
famous campaign of calumny put up
by the federal oniceholders, second
ed by the subsidized Republican press
and their satellites and spellbinders,
headed by the ex-United States die
trict attorney.
Perhaps Oklahoma could get along
without Indian territory, at least quite
as well as Indian territory could get
along without Oklahoma. but that is
not the question
The question is what will be the
result Of the alienation OF Indian ter
ritory from Oklahoma and a fight for
two states?
The result will be exactly what the
federal official gang and the ex-foderal
official candidate want. struggle for
two states and therefore no state at
all.
It might as well be learned first as
last that the eastern states do not
want and will not have four United
States senators from these territor-
les. No bill of admission can ever
pass that does not guarantee that.
The consequence is that whether we
like It or not the destinies of Oklaho-
ma and Indian territory are inseparab-
ly linked together and one state will
BE the ultimate outcome no matter
how long It is delayed.
It must be apparent then that much
of this narrow talk about the unpre-
paredness of Indian territory is only
having the effect to justly irritate the
pco1ie on Eat siIc Of the line and
cause them 70 register a righteous
kick.
Nor must it for one moment be sup
posed that their kick will not be po-
tent in washington and, if anything.
more intently listened to than any
plea Mcclure and his gang can put
up.
But the lamentable part of the
whole thing is, that by this very
clash is secured the delay SO dear to
the heart Of the man at the pie count
er. while the people endure indefinite
delay
The only way to. remedy the evil
now is for the people of Oklahoma to
make it known in no uncertain way
that they stand for one grand state
composed of Oklahoma and Indian ter
ritory. admitted at the same time on
an equal footing. and then the people
of Indian territory will see that the
people Of Oklahoma would tolerate no
injustice toward them and would
gladly Join with us in the work.

People talk of being all run down, overworked, out ofsorts generally.
 Nine times out of ten it is the blood that is out of order. The blood is the life of the system, you know. lift becomes thin or lacking in strength the sys- tenn naturally suffers-and with a weakened system disease finds an easy mark.
 Burdock Blood Bitters is one ofnature's comedies. A purely vegetable compound. It is a blood maker; it, strengthens and builds up the system; drives out the disease by removing the cause.

Nothing serves better to illustrate to what ridiculous and inconsistent ends the republicans have come to than the utterances of Senator Lodge,' President Roosevelt's closest political friend, on the course of that speech he said that he delivered in Boston recently. In the course of that spech he said that removing the tariff kills competition. He says that to take the duty off of an article Iessens the competition on that article. Even the proverbial wayfar- ing man, though a fool, knows that such a statement is absolutely without the pale of truth. What have the re- publicans all along claimed for the pro- tective tariff? Have they not, in sea- son and out of season, extolled the vir- tues of the protection idea and de clared that it kept out the foreign com petition? Was not the theory of pro- tection to keep out competition and to hold up prices by keeping out that competition? How. then, is it that these same republicans will tell us that removing the tariff duties keeps out or kills competition? Will the American people permit a party to slap their in- telligence in the face in such manner and not rebuke them at the polls? Can l the republican party say yea and nay to the same proposition and still be be- l lieved? Is it not time that the people begin to study this question out for themselves when they find a party playing on both sides of the fence at the same time? The primary object of the tariff is to prevent competition and to force the consumer to pay higher price for the article protected" than he would otherwise have to.pay.

'sYou need not put your lips directly to the tube. Hold it away from you, five or six inches. and then talk. The person at the other end will hear you just as well''

MICHAEL WALLACE.

 Rest, noble warrior, life's battle done, Bravely you fought, and nobly you won, And now your gentle spirit flies To pierce the mystic vale beyond the skies. I did not see thee in deaths cradle laid. But know those beads you loved in life you held; With those fifteen links consolation you found, It is fitting now with them your hands be bound. The priest of God stands at your head, The church her sweetest prayers has said, Motherlike she dries her tears And the mem'ry of the sainted dead reveres. Green grow the grass above your tomb, Flowers shed your sweet perfume, For child of nature is sleeping here, A poet to Ireland ever dear.

The settlement of the coal strike is now in sight, and let us all hope that it will be settled right, and not by crushing the men that are putting the millions in the pockets of the operators. The coal trust, says one writer, which has existed in open defiance of the laws of the United States and Pennsyl- vania, sshas been putting forth all it's strength. with a view to crushing the miners union. One of the coal barons, William H. Truesdale, president of the Delaware, LackaWanna and Western railroad, had the effrontery to address letter to the president of the United States, in which he asked that the United Mine Workers association be broken up by the federal authorities. This request shows the audacity of the coal barons, who want the United States government to enter into CO., partnership with them for the purpose of enslaving the miners to the coal trust. The New York Sun, voicing their views, declares that .Far-seeing patriotism and resolute loyalty to the flag demanded that the United States government shall display as much en
 ergy in enforcing the wishes of the coal barons as it manifested in carry ing out the policy of Imperialism. The viIlainous suggestion that the United States government employ as ruthless methods in the suppression of labor unions as it adopted in crushing out the Filipinos' struggle for liberty is a reminder that injustice breeds injus- tice. It was his knowledge of this fact which prompted Lincoln to declare that a republic half free and half slave was an impossibility. The country has en- tered upon career of imperialism, and the disregard 1t shows for the rights of man In the far away Pacitic
 islands will sooner or later manifest

THE FUTURE OF THE NOVEL.

The symposium in the current num- Der of the North American Review bearing on the question "Wil the Novel Disappearg' leaves the reader in as much doubt as if he had con- suited fortune teller.
 Jules Verne believes that in fifty or 100 years the novel will have given place to the daily newspaper. HoWeils predicts that the novel will endure as long as the last man can say to the next man: sHere is little thing of mine in three volumes. would Ike to read it to you.o Hamlin Garland thinks the drama is to succeed the novel in popularity, and the frequent dramatization of the novel at the pres ent supports his theory. J. K. Bangs, in his humorous style. predicts that some clever druggist will put up every variety of literature in small doses and at "cut-rate prices.
 There are other distinguished men aside from those who took part in the North American symposium who have word to say on the subject. Leon Daudet. son of the French novelist, would kill the novel or. what is the same thing he would have law en- l acted forbiddfne the sale of fiction to women and children. He says the l morbid apnetite for romanticism' is re sDonsih1e for most of the unhappiness, which breeds crime.
