Wednesdays Morning SESSION.
1t was 1920 when the house was
called to order. Prayer was offered
House bill No. 1872, an act to provide
for an exhibit at the ST. Louis exposi
ton, appropriating 100000 therefor,
and ordering a levy of 3-5 of a mill.
was called up by Mr.. Dalies. The bill
was read in both English and Spanish.
Mr. Dalies asked to suspend the rules
and this was done by vote of IL to 8.
The bill was read the third time by
title. Mr.. Bowie protested against the
bill because of the appropriation. He
also thought the territory would be far
outclassed and 100000 will not pro-
vide an exhibit equal to those from
other commonwealths. Mr.. Llewellyn
said the corporations of the territory
will make magnificent exhibits if au-
thorzed to do so. He urged an exhibit
so as to reply to defamers of the ter
ritory.
Mr.. Dalies said all the opposition to
the bill is because of a feeling of spite
against st. Louis newspapers which
| opposed statehood He believed the
exhibit should be provided for as an
advertisement and he believed as ad.
vertising is necessary for a private
business, it is equally necessary to ad.
vertise the greater business of the ter.
ritory. Mr.. Pendleton said he favored
the bill and called attention to the fact
that the two senators and fifteen rep
resentatives of Missouri have stood

AS OTHERS SEE US.

The Kansas City Journal publishes an editorial commenting upon the fail ure of the statehood bill, from which we take the following:
 The Kansas City Journal expresses the opinion that this unfortunate turn of affairs is largely due to politics. The fear of disturbing the relative strength between the democratic and republican parties it says. has undoubtedly in fuenced the actions of a number of prominent senators, and furthermore the Jealousy of the east and it's desire to retain its preponderance of power in the national council has been, and will perhaps a'ways remain, troublesome obstacle to the admission of any new states.
 The most significant part of the Jour
Bisbee daily review., 1903-03-06

nars article and the most discouraging part, so far as it refers to our territory, is the following:
 By the failure of the omnibus bill, Oklahoma is now released from all the moral obligations which tied her desti- ny to that of Arizona and New Mexi- co. The unpreparedness and disquali- fications of those territories can no longer be cited as arguments to defeat her aspirations. Ok ahoma has staunch- ly abided by all agreements to the detriment of her own cause. But the pragmatic sanction which bound the future of the three territories together in one bill has been dissolved by the course of events, and the contracting parties must now stand on their own respective merits.
 The democratic senatorial caucus has rejected the two-state proposition submitted by the eastern republicans. The plans regarding Indian Territory have not been determined, and there is no certainty whatever about the de- sires and purposes of the western sen atcrs. So it cannot be foretold what form the question will assume on final debate. Probably all pending bills will be withdrawn. and it will come up again at the next congress as an entirely new matter. Such an issue would be very fortunate for Oklahoma. Her qualifications are so unquestiona- ble. and the injustice of refusing her admission is so open and palplable' that when she stands alone, her claims

freed from all adventitious objections, no party will dare shoulder the re- sponsibility of keeping her longer out of the union"
 The Journal has been one of the ablest and most steadfast supporters of the omnibus bill but in the forego- ing it practically declares that Oklaho- ma has been kept out because of her association with New Mexico and Ari- zona, and that, standing alone, there is no doubt that she will be admitted by the next congress.

TEN YEARS BACKWARD

By the defeat of the omnibus state hood bill, Arizona has been set back ten years at least. in the attainment of the privileges and rights of free American citizenship.
 With the death of the bill in the congress that has just adjourned, those senators from the east, who were driven to such deseperate straits to ac- complish its defeat, will in the future, see that Arizona is not allowed to ap- proach so close as long as they are in power.
 Arizonans should learn one lesson by the failure of the statehood bill the insincerity of republican promises. For years past both national parties have declared in favor of the admis- sson of the territories. but when the EQe came for action and Arizona stood .a6sost within the gates of the union, A and assisted by every democrat in senate we find the republican lead such men as Hanna, Beveridge,
 
 pledges for their party, engaging in tpsstering and employing every sen aofiaS remedy at their command to thwart the will of the majority.
 Arizona is smarting under the injus- tice that has been done her. Our ambitions have been defeated by unfair EleaDs, and the recommendations of an Investigating committee that had ren- dered it's decision before it reached Arizona, and came here seeking proof in support of arguments with which to bolster up their position.
 The omnibus statehood bill was talked to death. not defeated by an honest ballot, and the republican party. from the President down to Senator Beveridge, is responsible for the out rage
 In making a list. for future reference. or our friends and enemies, Arizonans must not forget to place California among the latter. Senator Bard no longer belongs to the west. He has forsaken our interests and gone over to the party of the east. Two Arizona senators would have been of material benefit, not only to California, but the entire west and the great undertaking of national irrigation. in which the western states are vitally interested. would have received material aid.
 Arizona has been hurt by the defeat sf the statehood bill. The false and injurious statements, made upon the floor of the senate during the past two weeks. have been sent broadcast throughout the land to the great detri- ment of our people and our resources: although smarting and singing under the unjust blow delivered, Arizona has not abandoned the fight. The men who made this territory what it is today. are the true opponents of American citizenship. Great odds and obstacles have no terrors for them and when the next congress assemblies. Arizona will be found again demanding that which is hers by every law of right and equal ity. Arizona will yet take it's place in the congress of the United States and administer it's rebuke to the party re- sponsible for her betrayal

There are commentators on affairs who are mean enough to intimate that Senator Beveridge has never quite un- derstood his position in the fight against the omnibus statehood bill; that he doesn't know yet that he has been engaged in neither constructive nor destructive statesmanship, but has simply been used as a means of keep in the senate apparently busy without doing anything-Albuque Demo crat.

Since NJ. A. Moody, the congress
man from the Second Oregon district.
whose term has just expired, has been
retired, he has been the recipient Of a
great deal of deserved laudation. His
work in congress has been Of the
highest order Of excellence and ability
and his representation Of the state has
been most honorable. The plant has
gone forth quite commonly that it
was pity that he was turned down
by the nominating convention in
favor of Williamson, comparatively
unknown man. II there is any pity
involved II naturally occurs to an
observer that IL is rather out Of date.
All these things should have been
thought Of at the time the nomination
was made. Apparently Moody's
faithful and efficient services were not
30 greatly in the minds Of the dele
gates as they should have been. Now
since Williamson has been nominated
and elected, he should receive all pos
siblo encouragement to do his level
best. lie is virtually an untricd man
and may develop into one Of the ablost
and best representatives the state has
ever had
