Judge Clinton F Irwin. of FL
Reno, speaks out plainly for sim
gle statehood, in opposition 70 his
party in Oklahoma. He is one Of
the few candid republicans who
dares to speak out in meetin' what
every fair minded man thinks.
The position Of the republican
party in Oklahoma is grounded on
partisanship pure and simple. over
looking entirely the great issue at
stake Judge Irwin advocates one
great state, even though il should
be democratic state which it surely
will be-
Judge Irwin in an interview at
Guthrie last week had the follow
ing to say
! don't believe Speaker Cannon
will recognize any manron the floor
Of the House for tho purpose Of
passing a statehood bill. There
is vast deal Of important Nation
al legislation requiring the atten-
tion Of Congress which will exclude
all statehood enactments. It is my
opinion that when congress admits
Oklahoma as a state, it will be in
conjunction with Indian Territory.
It is possible that such bill can
be passed next session.
Congress can make Indian Ter
ritory ready for statehood at any
time it wishes to. The relation Of
congress to the Indian is in the
nature Of a guardian. Congress
can abrogate the treaties and make
such provisions for the Indians as
VIII pc satisfactory to them, and at
the same time make such provisions
as will place Indian Territory on
an equal footing with Oklahoma
regarding its fitness for state
hood.
Congress will give rs statehood
whenever its members see ft. They
viii draft a bill according to their
notion and we will be compelled to
accept it. One thing that has and
will prevent statehood for Oklaho-
ma is the powerful Indian Terri
tory lobby at Washington. II is
the most powerful lobby there, and
is backed By sufficient money, and
will oppose statehood for Oklaho
ma, Or an absorption act. / be-
ieve that whenever we get state
hood, il will be single statehood. /
know my views are out Of line with
my party, but ! have attempted to
view the matter from an unbiased
standpoint.

Western Union Manager For
Fourteen Years Succeeded
by Elgin Man
w. H. s,EvERT TAKES CHARGE
General Superintendent Tubbs Makes
a Change in Local Telegraph Office
That is Unexpected to AiI-GiIIette
Given But Three Hours Notice -
Has Been There Twenty Years.

An unexpected change In the man
agement OF the Western Union Tele-
graph Company's local office was an
nounced today when the retirement of
Charles a. Gillette was made known
and his successor appointed. The new
manager is Mr.. w. II. Sievert, of Elgin
ILL.,, and he has been checked in by Mr.
John Fitzpatrick, Of Chicago, chief
clerk to General Superintendent +. II.
Tubbs.
The change was as unexpected to Mr..
Gillette as it will he to the general
public, and as yet Mr.. Gillette is unable
to account for it. General conditions,
he thinks, are responsible, but the exact
cause of the change has as yet not been
made known to him.
Mr.. Gillette has been in the employ
of the company here for twenty years,
the past fourteen of which have been as
manager. He started in as an operator,
at the meager salary of $50 per month.
and after working six years was given
the office upon the retirement of John
ID. Daggart. He has been manager at
one point probably longer than any 9TH
er man in the employ of the big corr
Ioration today.
Mr.. Sievert, the new manager. is
young man and has heen in the employ
of the company for ten years. For the
past ten months he has been at Elgln.
ILL.,, but prior to that time was located
at Monmouth, ILL.,, as manager, for
about four years.

WOULD CONSOLIDATE SCHOOLS
Citizens of Clemens and Vicinity Hold
Meeting to Discuss Plans for Gen.
@ Il

IFdI OCnOOl
There seems to be pretty well de-
fined sentiment among the residents of
Bromley Clemens and vicinity for the
consolidation of the five district schools
|of that neighborhood into one central
school, to be located in Clemens. In
order that the matter might be brought
up in the proper way, and that all
might fully understood the undertake
ling, meeting was held in Clemens to-
day, and ex-County Superintendent
Morrissey was requested to visit the
meeting and present the matter.
This matter has been agitated for
some time and while so far there has
been no definite action taken it has
been the opinion Of many that the five
schools, all of which are located, within
three miles of Clemens, should be abol-
lished and central school substituted
at Clemens to take the place of the en-
tire five. The plan that has been rec
commended is to haul the children to
school in conveyances bought for that
purpose. Those VINO advocate the
scheme say that the standard Of the
schools can be raised a great deal by
having but one central building located
at Clemens, and the cost will be no
greater than with the present district
system The sentiment seems to be
pretty thoroughly aroused in favor of it
and 1t is thought the idea will be car
ried out. While there are some few
who do not look upon 1t with favor they
are thought to be in the minority, and
there is every likelihood that some ac-

The county in a general way, how
ever, is about $4,000 better off than
it was a year ago. General conditions
are responsible for this. The levy has
been a trife higher during the year
just closed than it was during the pre-
ceeding year. and expenditures tri-
file less, the Jail and criminal expenses
having been cut down from the pre-
vious year. The. fact that an increase
is shown will be source of, gratiflca
