Every man favOring the single state
hoOd-and there are thousands Of
them in both Indian Territory and
OklahOma-should be up and doing be-
fore the fifth day Of January, 1903.
Something should be done TO show Mr..
Quay and his honorable colleagues
that ninety per cent. OF the 800. 900 peo-
pie Of these two territories favor sin
gle statehood and want II now This
can be done by active work with pc
.titlons or by the calling Of a general
convention In Oklahoma City before
the third day OF January. Every rail
road running In to that city would give
vory low rate on such an occasion.
n we are to do anything. some def.
mite plan Of action should be taken al
once. There is little time 20 talk.
This is a season Of active work. We
take the ground that Mr.. Bailey Is In
error when he asserts that within two
or three years statehood will come
TO the Indian Territory alone, thus
giving to Democracy two more sena-
tors than It would have under single
statehood. That single statehood is
inevitable seems evident It's merely
matter Of whether we are attached
to Oklahoma on an equal footing or
added by plecemeal. We favor the
former by all means and advise an
active campaign on the part Of the
single statehood adherents during the
congressional recess. What shall be
done?

The Raven inn, an old hostelry at
Hook. near Basingstroke, England. was
built in 1853 and still retains its quaint
old half tlmbered work, oyerhanging
gables and small windows. The house
gained a wide notoriety In the latter
part Of the eighteenth century during
the American war OF independence
through being the residence and place
OF capture OF the famous Jack the
Painter" who reused the whole coun-
try in 171G by his deliberate attempts
TO fire drydocks and shipping. He sue
ceeded at Portsmouth, where 100000
damage was done; also at Bristol, but
was foiled at Plymouth. SO great was
the scare that in response 10 a reward
OF $500 offered by the government
for his capture the whole country was
on the alert, and he was run to earth
and captured in this interesting old
house and eventually hanged and glib
beted at Portsmouth. His real name
was James Aitken.
