grand. strong state Of which every
citizen might be proud and which
should at once assume a place in the
foreground Of the American union.
The unsurpassed qualifications OF
Oklahoma for statehood received the
passing but eloquent attention of ev-
cry speaker, but to an Oklahoma au-
dience, extended discussion of it's
right to statehood is almost super.
fiuous.
The gist of the problem is how can
a permanent state be soonest organ
lied
It was considered impossible that
Republican senate having refused
to take action when it could have
done so would DO anything with the
pending bill.
The part then that the delegate to
be elected will have to play will be
to introduce a new bill into the next
congress asking for immediate single
statehood for the two territories with
adequate school endowment for the
Indian territory
The Republican record on the state
hood question was presented by sew
eral speakers in all fairness. For six
years they have promised immediate
statehood. For six years they have
been in complete control Of the gov
ernment. For six years they have alb
solutely failed and refused to redeem
that promise and now only ofiel to
redeem it on condition that a Repub-
lican delegate be sent to congress.
The threat was vehemently defied
by every speaker and it was evident
from the demeanor of the vast audi
ence that they We're not in mood 20
endure coercion.
The national issues were ably dis
cussed and here, too, the case was
clearly and logically presented and
awakened an energetic response.
On the whole the meeting was one
of the highest class and most enter
tanning and instructive.
A few such meetings as that held
in different parts of the territory will
make it absolutely impossible TO blind
the people to the fact that the Dem
ocratic party stands for the best and
most permanent development Of the
territory and that it is consistent and
worthy of trust in both its past rec
ord and future promises
A vote for Hon Bill Cross and the
Democratic ticket is a vote for state
hood and permanent prosperity.

Good Soldiers at the Right Time.

The American reguler is nearly as far
from the academic and conventional type
Of soldier as the Boers. Of the veIdt. The
assembled attaches Of Europe locked al
him at Tampa and in Cuba with ineredu-
I0us establishment. and were inclined to
call the assemJIage OF him an undisei-
plined mob until he got to work. When
they watched him climbing san Juan Hill
OF breasting the slope of FL Caney. they
could not sPeak too highly, net only OF
his individual initiative but Of his IRE
discipline" The same experience was re
peated in China, where the impression Of
the academic soldier was expressed by one
OF them by the cheerful contradiction in
terms that the Americans were good
lighters but mot soldiers at ALL Still
better, perhaps. was the comment OF a
Japanese officer. quoted by British o.
server in the Contemporary Review"
The Americans are the worst troops I
have ever seen off the battlefield: but on
1t they are the best."-New York Times.
