LEG1sLArrNG FOR A STATE.


 Congress, when it comes to vote on the enabling act for the new State or States to be formed of Oklahoma and Indian Territory. must finally decide whether 1t Is to deprive the new State of the right of local government or whether the Federal Government itself shall make the laws. It is true that the controversy is confined to the ques- tion of liquor selling. but if Congress is to legisIate for the new State on that subject, 1t can legislate for any State on any subject. .i f
 Miss Alice Robertson, the newly ap- pointed postmistress at Muskogee, says the movement of the prohibitionists 4s not "an attempt to bring in prohibition where there is liquor, but to continue prohibition where 1t already exists. .'' We notice, too. that the Indian Rights Association is trying to piAcats the op- ponents of this kind of Federal super- vision by proposing that the Statehood bill. which we believe has already pass ed the House, be amended by the addi-
 
 supervision of the liquor question for ten years. ''or until satisfactory local laws shall be enacted" The New York Evening Post. siding with the Federalists. thinks such an amend ment would be only justice. and points out that agreements have been made between our Government and various Indian tribes. guaranteeing perpetual prohibition of the sale of uquor." These arguments and explanations do not in any degree alter the principle in- volved In the case. Admitting that our Government in its treaties with the Indian tribes pledged itself to enforce prohibition among them, that agree ment falls to the ground when the new State comes into the Union, just as oth- CT territorial laws and regulations fall. The Congress can make laws for a Ter ritory and the Government can enforce them. but no one has before claimed that the same conditions shall exist af- ter the new State is admitted. When Oklahoma comes into the Union it must come in as an independent member of the Union, equal and co-equal with the other States. or 1t must present the anomalous spectacle of a State govern ed from Washington.
 We are not arguing now against pro- hibition. nor against temperance or to- tai abstinence. We are arguing for the right of a State, whether a new one or an old one. to make its own local laws and police regulations. to govern itself as the States have heretofore done and as they should continue to do. We deny the right of Congress to insert local law in an enabling act, whether the law relates to liquor selling or to any other subject. The prohibition ar- gument is no Stronger than an areu- ment favoring any other law which the State alone has right to enact. If Congress is not going to make the new State the equal of the other States it should not make 1t at all.

The Wine Cellars Passing.

London Telegraph.
 Wine cellars are said to have gone out of fashion. Proud fathers no longer lay down pipes of port for the coming of age of their infant heirs. and no longer enjoin upon their successors the sacred duty of keeping the family eel lar replenished. They may leave in- structions or express wishes about the maintenance of so many head of deer in the park. but they care not whether the wine bins are full or empty. It Is not that people have lost their taste for wines, though fashion has greatly changed in respect of them, and sler- ry, for example. is growing as rare as Madeira. and M7derio as obs lete as sack Whenever q good cellar comes Int" the raarEat tho c1Upeti 1 n at auc- tion is as keen as ever t secure the ..st lots, and fancy prices are often reached. None the less. the day of the private cellar Is practically over. What Is the cause?

Forty Years
In Canon City
w. H. Mcclure Recalls Some Cheap Prices Of Canon
Realty Thirty and Forty Years Ago.

niversary of Mr.. McClure's arrival in
Canon. and it il ~lways to him almost
the same ~ . birthday.
For forty years Mr.. Mcclure has been
one OF the leading citizens Of the COM
munity, being now president of the
Canon Savings bank.
Thirty years sgo he built the old
McCl0re house, which is now the
Strathmore hotel. and in that day il
was one of the most pretentious struct-
ures in southern Colorado.
Mr.. Mcclure recalls that when he
first came to Canon he staked out a
100 acre claim in that part of town
where Gibson's and Bakers residences
now are. He went to the county
clerks Office, which was in the old
adobe building now standing on Main
street near the Star livery stable, to
record the claim.
The county clerk, Sam Cox tstill liv-
ing part Of the time in one of those
buildings) wanted the outrageous sum
of s275 for the recording fee, which
Mr.. Mcclure declined to pay, 40 the
claim was given up.
Later a company was formed to build
the big ditch, the one that runs through
the upper part OF the town. That was
during the winter Of ls64-5.
The ground under the ditch was de
vided up between the promoters of the
ditch, and Mr.. Mcclure got tract of
81 acres in the heart of Canon besides
some further down,
This tract includes about what is
now the sixteen blocks bounded by
Seventh and Eleventh streets and
Macon and Harrison avenues.
Later Mr.. Mcclure sold the tract to
Isaac W. Chatfield, still living here,
for the sum Of ssi5, about $40 an acre,
water rights included.
MIR. Chatfield had law suit in the
courts, and gave the land to Thomas
Macon, now resident of Denver, to
defend him in the case. Mr.. Macon
plated the ground and it is now known
as Thomas Macon's addition to Canon
City.
This ground is now worth about
ssoo. .oo0 aside from the improvements.
Mr.. Mcclure can tell many intsrcst-
ing stories Of pioneer life and Of the
Development Of Canon City,

Fine Old Cottonwoods In Front Of

The slaughter Of q great majestic
shade tree is tragic thing to contem-

George Phillips sits out under the
cool shade OF his familiar old friends,
the cottonwoods, and cannot help
thinking harshly of the hand that
would rob him of their comfort and
protection.
Thirty-fve years ago Mr.. Phillips
bought those trees, little saplings then,
from the banks of the Arkansas and
planted them there.
For forty years Mr.. Phillips has lived
in that same place, corner Macon and
Third street and he knows what the
town is without shade and with
For thirty-five years he has watched
the growth and enjoyed the cool shades
of those same doomed trees
Its like parting from an old friend of
a life time TO see them go and in this
case its almost like robbing man of
the very roof over his head.
Across on the blacksmith corner is
another magnificent shade tree that is
ordered cut oat. and down the street e

Clure home, Sol Macon. the finest tree
in the row is marked. and up by Hard

terian corner is fine old monarch VI

must be on line.
Already some are almost sorry that
the sidewalks were ordered.
