Old Aae Statistics,

Those persons who find life so we'll
worth living that they would not be
sorry to become centenarians will sure
ly be interested in the following sta
tistics. which We're recently compiled
by an indefatigable. French scientist:
Out of every 100000 persons who
are born in the same year. $4,000, he
says. live for 70 years, 10000 for 80
years and S,S41 for 80 years. Two hun
SO. 81 for 80. 29 for 100, 9 for 1O1, for
102 and 1 for 1913 years. A few among
the 100000 may attain even greater
age than this. and the statistician ex-
presses this chance in fractions. Thus
the chance that man may live for 104
years is 0.3. and the chance that he
may live for 106 years Is 0.1-New

Thomas Fortune called for order. The
address of welcome, in behalf of the
negroes of Louisville and Kentucky
was delivered by Albert S. White, a
colored lawyer. His reference to Ken
lucky as the home of Lincoln, the
emancipation, and his statement that
the underground railway was devel-
oped in Kentucky were loudly ap-
plauded. He pleaded for a place for
the negro in the history of American
arms.
In closing response to the address
of welcome, Frederick L. McGhee, of
st. Paul, said:
1.-THE time for departure from old
methods has come. The peace, the
prosperity of our country must be
shared by our race or there can be no
permanent peace, no lasting prospect
ty. We must be part of this govern
ment and must have secured to us the
enjoyment of the rights and privileges
other citizens have. We are citizens
Of our only country. We love it's In
situations and have ever been law
abiding and devoted to it's every in
terest. But before man made us citi-
zens, great Nature made us men, hence
we must now act and speak as men,"
Representatives from Virginia and
New England today organized the Ma
tional Negro Suffrage league. One of
the objections to the council is that it
charges SIS membership fee. The lead
er of the new organization is George
L. Hayes, of Virginia. 1t will not be
hostile to the council.

RURAL DELIVERY
POLICY is CHANGED
Routes Are to Be Made by
States Instead of Con-
gressional Districts.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 1.-As
a result of the investigation of the
postal service a change in the regula-
ton of routes for the free delivery ru-
raj service has been ordered by Post
master General Payne. Under the
new regulation the routes will be made
by states, irrespective of district con-
gressional lines, as heretofore. This is
in line with the recommendation of
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow. Applications for routes will
be investigated in the order of their
filing. There are now $4,000 petitions
for routes now pending and every con-
gresham is being pressed by his con-
stituents to secure expedition.
The matter of taking up applica-
tons by states, instead of districts
within state, has been discussed be-
tween postal officials and representa-
tives in congress and many of the
former have agreed that it is an equi-
table way of handling the business
and it will relieve both them and the
postoffice department of considerable
embarrassment

No Canals on Mars.

The learned and venerable Alfred

written a learned treatise to show that
the earth is the only habitable planet

the evidence afforded by the canals on
Mars is conclusive in favor of it's being

Sporting Editor Should Decide.

A baby was born to minister last
Sunday morning, says an Oklahoma
paper, and that evening the officers Of
the church waited on him with $50 in
cash. The next Sunday when the con-
gregation assembled two wags stood
before the church door and one bet the
minister would thank the Lord for the
money first and the other he would
thank Him for the baby. When the
reverend gentleman arose to pray he
said: Lord, we desire also to thank
Thee for this timely succor," and the
boys are yet undecided as to which is
the winner.

HELP GET STATEHOOD.

The general impression is growing
that there IL no possible chance for
the pending omnibus statehood bill
TO pass congress Latest Washington
advlces state that several Democratic
senators have become convinced OF
this fact. and that they IRE ready TO
vote for the Nelson bill when It shall
come up in the senate for passage
Thus, II is more impo tant than
ever that the convention e. be held
here next Tuesday be a forccful and
representative one. The Mellon bill
can be passed at this session of con
gress. and It is the only bill for state
hood which can be passed. II will be
passed by the senate and go to the
house where II will also be passed un-
less dilatory tactics are resorted to
by those who oppose the single state
hood And then II II does not pass,
the people of Oklahoma viii know
where to place the blame.
The convention here next Tuesday
should be a final answer to all the
rancid claims made by the two-staters
that single statehood is impossible.
II should result In thoroughly demon
strating TO congress that the people
of both territories. who will be ex-
pected TO pay the taxes for state gov
ernment, are in favor of single state,
with its smaller taxation and increas.
ed resources. II should show congress
that the people here are fully alive TO
the statehood situation and that they
endorse the bill which gives them i'm
mediate single statehood.
The towns in the Indian Territory
are already holding thtir conventions
to elect delegates. and the Indian Ter
rftory will have such a representation
as has never before been accorded any
convention. Oklahoma will also be
largely represented. for all partisan
lines will be obllterated and all can
feel free to come and help secure
that which will be the best thing for
our people and all future generations.

Popular clamor has induced Presi-

predecessors that had been relegated

Mrs. Roosevelt is. however, intiexible

mistresses of the White House shall
remain in the basement In this she
is undoubtedly right. The White
House was never intended to be con
