many of the people who have settled
in Oklahoma and Indian Territory arc
of Southern extraction and will have
none of Negro domination.
Such suffrage provisions would pre-
clude the enactment of such qualifica-
tions as many of the most enlightened
States of the Union now enforce
Should a bill with any such provision
be reported to the Senate, the attitude
of the Senate Democrats, all of whim
are for Statehood, would be decidedly
interesting
Statehood for Oklahoma was consid-
cred yesterday by the House Committee
on Territories. Sidney Clark, of Okla
homa City, spoke for the proposition.
He opposed joining Oklahoma and the
Indian Territory into one State be-
cause of the lack of taxing power in
the latter Territory, caused by treaties
with the Indians.

Senator Quay's Statehood bill, offer
ed Tuesday, proposing to make Okla
homa and Indian Territory one State,
contains a paragraph which has set
the Statehood advocates to thinking.

Statehood issue is Congress
also, before the country.
The fifth section. of Mr.. Quay's bill
provides: HThat said State (of Okla
homa) shall never enact any law re-
stricting or abridging the right of suf-
frage on account of race, color, or pre-
vious condition of servitude, nor shall
any educational qualification ever be
imposed on the right of suffrage"
1t happens that Indian Territory,

Statehood with Oklahoma, has very

MEN OF TALENT SHOULD USE
THEM TO SOME NOBLE
PURPOSE.

Editor The Colored American,
Dear Sir: In compliance with your
request for an expression from me on
the lecture delivered before the Bethel
Literary and Historical Association
last week, by Lawyer E. H. Morris, of
Chicago, with "Shams'' as his theme,
have to say that i heard Mr.. Morris
with mixed pleasure and pain: pleasure,
because his address was able and elo-
quent; pain, because a cofored man of
his ability should have used his talents
with the endeavor to belittle and ridi-
cule Prof. Booker T. Washington, who
has accomplished and is accomplishing
so much real good for the uplifting of
his downtrodden people in the South.
l cannot see how Mr.. Washington
can in any way be associated with the
idea "Shams." Had he gone through
the country and solicited money for a
school that had no existence, or had
he been successful in begging a large
sum of money to apply to a small edu-
cational work, or had he by represent
ing that he was going to establish a
large educational plant succeeded in
getting fabulous sums of money, and
with it established an Insignificant
school; in other words, had he repre-
sented that he intended to do some
thing which he has not done in the
work of educating the co1ored people of
the South, could see some reason for
characterizing him or his work as a
Sham"
Mr.. Morris criticism OF Prof. Wash
ington was facetious and unjust. Mr.
Morris is a master of irony and wit.
He facetiously picked out here and
there, from the writings or speeches
of Mr.. Washington, words which stand
ing alone or miscOnStrued would great
ly misinterpret their author. He then
brought into play his wide range of
wit and humor and apparently sue
ceeded in making Mr.. Washington ap-
pear ridiculous. For instance, he
quoted Mr.. Washington as having said
that he saw a colored preacher in the
South preparing his sermon just as
WHIIc pIepdTeQ HIS III new
England. Mr.. Morris did not give the
connection in which these words were
used, but criticized Mr.. Washington at
great length, claiming that he thought
that a colored preacher should not pre-
pare a sermon for a colored audience
as white New England preacher pre-
pared a sermon for a white New Eng
land audience. Since Mr.. Morris did
not give the connection in which these
words were used by Mr.. Washington,
we may assume that Mr.. Washington
used them to compliment the colored
preacher upon his taste in preparing
a sermon for his people. Again, Mr..
Morris, further quoting from Mr.. Wash
ington, claims that he said that he saw
a Negro boy in a cabin in the South
Istudying a French grammar. AS in the
other instances, Mr.. Morris did not
give the connection in which these
words were used by Mr.. Washington
We are, therefore, justified in constru-
