the Democrats have good deal Of
confidence in the situation IN the ter
ritory They have a right to feel that
way.
In the election Of 1902 for delegate
the Republicans carried Oklahoma by
394 OF a plurality out Of a total vote of
94,2l0. On the basis of this slender
margin the Republican separatis.s in
the territory have been saying that
Oklahoma is sure for their party if ad-
mitted to statehood with its present
boundaries. Persons, however, who
look over the ground without prejudice
see that this assumption errs The
Democrats had an especial inducement
in 1902 TO let the Republicans carry
Oklahoma. The plea was made in the
territory by both Republicans and
Democrats that a Republican victory
for delegate in that year would render
admission virtually certain. The
Democrats had an interest in allowing
the Republicans to carry the territory
in 1902, feeling that as soon as it was
admitted to statehood they could
easily control IT,
The admission Of oklahoma and the
Indian territory as separate states
would mean four or FIVE more Demo-
Gratis in the house Of representatives
and four more in the senate On the
face of the situation as thus revealed
the Republican congress is not likely
TO be enthusiastic about letting in
these territories as separate states. Il
is no part Of the mission Of the Re-
publicans in congress 10 gratuitousiy

one Of the arguments against the ad-
mission o. fls-se two territories sepa-
rately, and It IS not the strongest one.
but It is one which will have some in
fuence over the Republicans IN each
branch Of congress. For physical,
economic ana partisan reasons, the
union of the territories and their ad-
ission as a single state is what the
situation demands. On no other
terms will the Republican congress
grant admission. ra4

INDIAN TERRITORY HELD BACK.
(Globe.Democrat.)

No other part of the United States
isas seriously handicapped as is In
dian territory. No other division Of
the country has ever been troubled
with so many chaotic conditions
These drawbacks are to some extent
an Inheritance from special Indian
relations. but methods of governing
The territory are also faulty. A dis
tinct advance was made when the
Cherokee Indians recently voted to
remove the old treaty barriers. No
sooner was the news of the election
sent forth than investors began to
ock in, looking for farming, grazing
and mineral lands. But certain hard,
almost impractieable, restrictions
still remain No Indian may part with
a title for twenty-five years, a regula-
tion strongly disliked by the Indians
themselves who desire to act on their
own accoaEt, without waiting for the
next generation, as supposedly more
competent. Congress will be asked
to amend the treaty so that all but
for yaere homestead may be disposed
of according to the judgment of its
present owner. Leases for FIVE years,
or for a longer term, at the option of
the secretary of the Interior, are now
permitted, but there is a general com.
plant that these provisions are not
working in a way that does justice to
the great undeveloped resources of
the territory. Persons with money to
invest in agricultural or mineral
lands wan; to be absolutely sure that
their titles are regular Peculiariues
or entanglements in that respect are,
Of course, an obstruction.
Indian territory today contains 400,-
600 whites and not over 100000 In
dams. These white citizens have had
no representative in congress, no vote,
and no lawful guaran'ee to property.
They have been deprived of common

ments, the territory has grown fast,

suggest that in Mr.. lBryan's case the
mans mistakes are not results of dis
honesty and that they appear as a
rule, to have been results of his sym

Such mistakes are not disgraceful, and
should not deprive such a man Of the
high honors fitly due him.
II is questionable whether we have

Mr. Bryan has spoken and written who
