Statehood
What then, is the paramount issue of the campaign

by the party leaders?
The politcical effect of the act.
Why has not Oklahoma been granted statehood be-
fore?
Because Republican leaders have been in doubt to
its political complexion.
How do the Republican leaders propose to admit Ok
lahoma statehood?
By joining her with Indian Territory in single state

Territory?
Because Oklahoma is considered Democratic and In
dian Territory is known to be-

The consolidation of two Democratic territories into
Democratic state thereby limiting the power of the
opposing party in the greatest possible degree.
What would congress do if it demonstrated that
Oklahoma is Republican territory?
Create a separate Republican state

REFORM IN THE AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGE.

The State Grange has raised the
question of making the State Agricul-
tural College more of farmers
school.
The Journal has shown that there
are almost no farmers among the thir-
teen members of the board of regents.
Besides the master of the State
Grange. who is not always himself a
practical farmer, there is but one farm
er regent, and he is an apple-raiser.
But all the thirteen members of
the board of regents are politicians,
and many are ofice-holders.
This is true of the board of regents
OF the state university; and other state
educational institutions.
Men already holding Offices are al
ready recognized, and the unofficial
taxpayer and businessman is over
looked
This overlooking the official class
with additional honors has been the
custom with Republican and Demo
cratic governors. 1t has been carried
too far.
The educational institutions have
been made to contribute to the po-
litlcal pull and do not represent the
interests of the producers as they
should
The Grange should strike at the
root of the difficulty in seeking to re-
form our educational institutions.
1t should demand that they be put
more under the guidance of taxpay-
ers than tax-eaters, more into the
hands of representative citizens than
pampered officialism.

The San Francisco Chronicle does
Oregon and it's cities justice when 1t
says:
There is a movement on foot, which
had its origin at the Seattle meeting
of the Transmississippi congress last
year, but which seems to be most
actively promoted by the Portland
chamber of commerce, to make sys-
tematic effort to induce as many as
possible of the bodies holding annual
conventions at st. Louis this year to
meet next year at some Pacific coast
city. Portland Is naturally and prop
erly taking most active steps in aid
of this movement, as it would natural.
ly expect to secure good many of
these conventions to meet during the
Lewis and Clark Exposition. Her peo-
pie do not, however ask for more than
her "due share" of these gatherings,
nor do they propose to take the lead
in the matter. They have asked the
Denver Chamber of Commerce to do
this, and to call a preliminary con-
ference of western men to meet at an
early date in this city. The proposal
is to have the different conventions
meet. some in one Pacific coast city
and others elsewhere, according to
some schedule, in which, it is to be
pretumed, the desires and conven-
ience of the bodies concerned will be
permitted to have weight.
In the opinion of the Chronicle"
the people of San Francisco and of
lCalifornia will be glad to be of any
assistance in promoting this move,
metn, and If we correctly gauge the
public feeling, quite as much for the
purpose of helping Portland as for
our own advantage. And we should
not be disposed to quarrel with Port
land If she got more of these meet,
ings than would ordinarily be fair"
The people of Portland and Oregon
are engaged in an ambitious and use
full enterprise, in which they are max
ing a great strain upon the resources
of communities not yet so accustomed
as Californians to expend large sums
of money in this way. The Pacific
coast states constitute a unit in a
broader sphere. Whatever benefits
any part of the Pacific coast benefits
all parts, and the people of California
will be pleased to all in increasing
the prestige of the Lewis and Clark
Exposition by assisting by all means
in our power any movement like this
which the citizens of Portland may
consider of value to them. And If
San Francisco and California should
happen to reap some direct benefit
for ourselves we shall be all the hap
pier. But we shall be glad to help
Portland anyhow.

PLIGHT OF DEMOCRACY.

ingness and shows to what dire straits
men will go in an endeavor to chase
the elusive public office.
The national Democratic party is
without a single living issue to offer
the voters of this great republic.
They can only "denounce, view with
alarm" and otherwise hold up their
empty little tootsie wootsies and
prophesy disaster and ruin.
They can not offer one direct or
practical Improvement in our present
mode of government.
The Democratic party Is an absolute
free trade party at heart, but the
leaders are wise enough not to make
that party issue. They tried that
