STATEHOOD NOT UNLIKELY.


Statehood for the territories may
not DO so far away after all, There
IL now absolutely no political reason
why all the territories should not be
admitted. When nm influential met
ropolitan paper like the Washington
Post speaks Of the situation In the
following terms. the people OF the
long neglected commonwealth may
take fresh courage:
Friends OF the administration are
already forecastIng the program for
the short session OF the congress. and
are |Intlmatlng that nothing will be
considered except the regular appro-
prlatlon bills necessary for the main
~tenance and operation Of the differ
snt departments for the next fiscal
year, There Is rather a direct inti-
nation that many of the measures
offered NJ the last session and defer
red until after the presidential cleo
ton" will he allowed to lie In their
present comatose state. to be renew.
ed with the first session Of The fifty
ninth congress. In December. 1905.
Congressional history shows that
the short session IL seldom productive
Of much general Legislation, but, In
this Instance. there would seem TO be
no just excuse for a further delay
OF action on the measure granting
statehood to Oklahoma. Indian Ter
ritory. Arizona and New Mexico.
There Is no need Of any discussion OF
the proposition. New Mexico has
been clamOring for admission for
more than thirty years. and has been
promised It In the platforms OF every
national convention, with the excep-
ton Of this year, since the days when
Stephen b. Elkins, now senator from
West Virginia, represented the terri.
tory In the house. Oklahoma's as.
tonishIng development In the last six
years has fully established her claims
to recognition and admission as a
state. and the claims Of the other ter
ritories have been dInned into the
ears Of both branches OF the congress-,
until there Is nothing left to be said
beyond %reiteration In support Of the
claims for statehood for the territor.
les. The fear that the party In power
might suffer politically by the admis.
sion OF the territories has been dis
sipated by the recent election returns.
and there In now no shadow OF ex-
cuse for denying these progressive
people the rights to which they are
entitled.
Rich In every resource necessary to
make them great and prosperous. the
residents Of these territories are suf-
fering under handicaps, due to their
territorial form OF government, that
are almost tntolerable. Nearly 500.-
600 with citizens OF the Indian Ter
ritory, nearly all OF whom are native.
born Americans, are without proper
courts, and deprived Of the power to
provide these essentials to civiliza.
ton and progress, Their patience,
under the conditions. has been re-
markable. and should be rewarded by
their admission to full enjoyment OF
the rights granted TO citizens Of 9th.
er states, A bin granting statehood
to the territories should be pushed
at the coming session. In no other
way q the congress discharge its
obligation and duty TO 5000, 900 en-
l%ishtened, progressive, enterprising
citizens Of the republic.
