There isn't much doubt that Ocklahoma will be
made state. The opposition to the move is mostly
POLITICAL and the fight to prevent this thriving ter
rltory from gaining statehood honors is not being
strenuously waged. Ocklahoma has population,
fertility, education and is typcally American. 1t
was settled by the best class of immigrants, not the
worst, and while it has woody western flavor at
times, it is distinctly modern.
At first there general feeling that Arizona
and New Mexico should be admitted The reasons
contained little logic and great deal of that pecu-
liarly American love for expansion. good many
of us would have a hundred states in the union if
we could simply for the pleasure of rolling the fig
ures under our tongues and Dragging about our
greatness.
Arizona has population Of 122 ,931-a good deal
less than half the population of New Orleans.
At best it is a mixed population, and not intensely
American Irrigation may at some time make the
territory blossom, but Arizona's greatness is all in
the future.
New Mexico is little more American than Bill
boa, Spain, and only a little The total popula-
ton wouldn't make Il city like Louisville, Ky. If
the people scattered at equal distances the
territory there would be person in the center of
each 640acres, which, to say the least would not

guage the part of the majority of the adult pOpu
lation of a territory seeking place in the list Of
states.
So if congress bars out Arizona and New Mexico
there will be no popular uprising
