HARMONY. THEN STATEHOOD.
Indian Territory Democrats Resent

Durant, |. r., June 24.-The Demo

accusation that cowardice led them to
omit all reference to the statehood
question In the adoption CT their plat
form here last week Disinterested
persons who attended the convention
believe that party leaders were sin.
cere in saying that expediency was
the reason for the omission. but that
there was fear behind their sincerity.
Had a statehood resolution been de-
sired only G. resolution for joint state
hood could have been passed This
was apparent even to the double state
hood advocates.
They Did Not Forget the Feud.
The idea uppermost In the minds Of
discreet Democrats was that the ut
most harmony should prevail in the
convention. that the party might move
unitedly in perfecting its organization
for the battles that will come wit
Republicans under statehood Party
leaders remember the feud that arose
in the convention at Ardmore four
years ago between the Wolverton and
Marcum factions. and how it reached
to every corner OF Indian territory
estranging men who had been lifelong
friends and making it impossible for
Democrats in different portions Of In
dian territory to join In common ag-
gression against Republicans. Not
until last winter was the semblanco
OF harmony secured, and It came then

The Review of Reviews is sustaining
its reputation as ''the Indispensable

July number was Republican one. The

political articles of current and perman-
ent value, the whole subject Of the Demo-

and some impressions of the Chicago
convention by u prominent delegate to
the great st. Louis body. James Creel-

making it not only a character sketch OF
the nominee, but a graphic, reasonable,
and calm presentation Of the Democratic

his Impressions of the Republican con-
ventiOn at Chicago; and very prOmi-

copiously illustrated with portraits OF the
candidates themselves, their families,

vention articles are lightened by humOr

Paper From Cotton Stalks.

Representative Howard, OF Geor-
gia, has induced the agricultural de-
Dartment at Washington to start an
investigation of the manufacture OF
white paper from cotton stalks. Sue
cessful experiments have already been
made in Atlanta, Ga. and Houston,
Tex, and it is said the white paper
made in Atlanta from cotton stalks
excels the usual product made from
wood pulp. and it is believed the cost
of manufacture is considerably less.
Mr.. Howard has persuaded Secretary
Wilson and his assistants to look
into the experimental process already
established, and the department has
announced that it will make more
complete investigation as to the cost
and process of converting the stalks
into paper and issue a public bulletin
containing all the information OBJ

As to independence.
The American Press.


That some persons entertain queer
ideas OF Independence in a newspaper
is seen in the following letter from a
subscriber to the New York Herald:
To THE NEW YORK HERALD-My sub
scription to your most valuable paper
expires in August. Before renewing same
most cOurteously would | ask whether
you intend to come out as a strong Par
ker advocate or whether you will follow
your presidents Of previous years and be
absolutely independent? In common with
probably a number of Southern men L
have been a subscriber for your paper for
months simply on account of its thor
Oughly independent character and i'm
partiality We in the South need such a
paper to voice the best sentiments OF
either parties, and If the Herald does be-
come an active partisan for either the
Republicans or Democrats you will find
your usefulness void, and. am confident:
your subscription list falling off.
+. j. PAXON.
To this the Herald replies:
Our correspondent is correct in assum-
ing that a number Of Southern men
very great cumberland like numbers of
Northern men and Eastern men and
Western men are subscribers to the Her
aid on account Of Its thoroughly indie
pendent character and impartiality."
If Mr. PaxOn had been a subscriber for
years instead Of 'fOr months he would
be in no doubt about the matter. The
HeraMs news columns always give all
the news on both sides and present fully
and impartially the best sentiments of
either parties" But the Herald may
have it's own opinion too. ''lndependent'
is not. as our correspondent seems to
think, Synonymous with neutral
There are doubtless Others who
hold the erroneous views of the Her
aITs correspondent. They consider
paper independent which expresses
no opinions, when the opposite is
true From lack of interest paper
may preserve neutrality on questions
which do not concern it or the public
from which it derives it's support. In
matters of Importance the indepen-
dent paper holds positive views and
has the courage to print them. In
politics the independent paper is
simply one which is not bound by
party ties and follows its own con-
victions. 1t will not support Il can

prove. But opinions? Yes, plenty
of them, and it is usually found tax
