MAKING A BLUFF.
People Who Want 20 Turn Cows out
Talk of Testing New Ordinance.

A number of people who object to
keeping their cows at home, say
they are preparing 10 test the new
ordinance In the courts. They have
employed an attorney, Councilman
Young Taylor says, and the attorney
of course thinks there is doubt
whether or not the ordinance will
stick The intention is TO file an in
junction against the city TO prevent
the enforcement of the law.
II seems that these people do not
know that stock laws have been sus-
tanned by courts high and low all
over the country, and that Hon. II.
w. Bagby, who drew up the present
cow ordinance. did so with an espe-
cial view OF guarding against Just
such action as knocking il out in
the courts ON technicality People
who want cows kept In their place
need have no fear that the ordi-
nance VIII not be sustained Ii Is not
the intention of the "cow boys" TO
do anything until the mayor signs
the ordinance, He intends to sign II
about June 3, he says,

City Solicitor ed. ". Puryear has
reported that the ordinance regulat
ing saloon keepers bonds does not
permit guarantee companies to be on
the bond, as all bondsmen under the
ordinance, must be residents OF the
county.
As a result the board of aldermen
has ordered that new form of bond
be drafted, and new ordinances draft
ed which will not prevent these guar
antee companies becoming surety.
In most cases these sort of bonds are
really better than individual bonds
for often the city accepts one man on
dozen or more saloon bonds rem
derng them all practically worth
less.

Mayor Yeiser thinks the ordinance
prohibiting women from entering
saloons should be unanimously
passed by both boards as even some
saloon men object TO women enter
ingdheir places of business but have
TO permit IT because others do. and
they don't want to lose trade. Not
only saloon keepers have complain
ed against women entering saloons.
but Mayor Yeiser stated Chief Col
Inns himself suggested the ordinance
and asked that he be given some
thing TO be guided by in such mat
ters. The only question Is. could the
ordinance be enforced? Judge San
ders decided few years ago that
such an ordinance was unconstitu-
tional. and the constitution has not
been changed any since the decision
was rendered.

THE RIGHT OF OKLAHOMA.

The creation Of the new state of Ok
lahoma. composed Of the present ter
ritory Of Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory. will probably be one of the fea.
lures of this winters work in con
gress. Public sentiment fayors the
creation Of this new state, and both
houses of congress are apparently in
accord with the feeling of the people.
The failure OF political manipulators
to induce the people of Indian Terri
tory TO follow the foolish attempt to
make state Of that territory alone
indicates that the people Of the two
territories are ready and willing to
enter the Union as one state.
The fitness and the right OF these
territories to be admitted should be
considered without regard to the ques-
ton of admitting Arizona and New
Mexico, jointly or separately. The
large. intelligent, homogeneous popula.
tion of the proposed new state of okla
homa, its natural and accumulated
wealth, its geographical position, and
its compact form all entitle 1t to con.
sideration for It's own sake The state
of Oklahoma would add strength to
the Union. The best interests of the
United States, as we'll as the interests
OF the population concerned, would be
advanced by the admission Of Oklaho-
ma.
After a thorough study of the mat
ter, congress would conclude, We hope,
that Oklahoma should be admitte into
the Union on an equal footing with
the other states. II would be unwise,
for example, to insert in the enabling
act any provision attempting to bind
the new state to a fixed policy on the
liquor question, or any other matter
coming within the sovereignty Of n
state. An attempt thus to fetter the
free will OF state would be of doubt
full constitutionality, and certainly an
infringement upon the powers that are
lodged in n state. The people Of Okla
homa, If they are entitled to admis-
sion as a state, are surely competent
to settle for themselves the question
whether or not prohibition Is the cor
rect policy for their state. They should
not be required to give pledge for
ten years, or for any other period to
follow course prescribed by con
gross. Advance legislation by congress
on local questions would be as per-
nlcious in actual results as such leg
islation would be after the state had
been invested with full sovereignty. IL
legislation inside state on the part
of congress is unconstitutional. 1t is
difficult to understand how congress
can find constitutional method of
mortgaging the legislation Of com
munity about to become a state.
II is evident that the eligibility of
New Mexico and Arizona for statehood
will be discussed at length during the
coming session and the chances Of a!
hitting either or both are slender.
It would be grossly unjust to the pop
ulous and highly civilized territories
Of Oklahoma and Indian Territory TO
keep them waiting while questions en-
tirely foreign TO them are being
thrashed out. Washington Post.
