According to a paleface at Muskogee,
the suave Greek Indians have taken in
the traders. otherwise known as busi-
ness men, very much like a large bass
takes in minnow. He claims that
the sympathy and snivelIng INDUCED
on account Of the supposed blotting out
OF Poor Lo9 may very justly be trans
ierred 70 the poor white sucker who
vainly mistook Indian leniency in col
iseting the tribal tax for an abandon
msnt Of the claim. Herein he erred,
70 the immense profit Of the Indian.
President Roosevelt has sustained the
rnling Of the secretary Of the interior,
according to which the collection is or
dered or permitted to proceed, SO far
as the government of the United States
IS concerned. This still leaves the
tight pending in the courts and the
poor pale face entrammelled in the
dexterous legal nets Of Poor Lo7
h is not intended here to cast aiy
reflections ON the Greek Indians. They
have among them as brainy men as
can be found in any community. They
are as honest in their dealings as the
cgerage white man and have as keen
an eye for business. Some keen OBJ
servers win be greatly disappointed If
they do not clearly demonstrate their
ability TO take and keep even ground
with the whites The Indian will never
be hampered by race prejudice, as are
the negroes. If the average Indian
citizen fails he win do so because Of
a certain reluctance to SO at hard
work and for lack Of control Of his
appetite

a habit rather than an acquired gift.
Yes. / am delighted with the territory

too, but Guthrie pleases me much
better The people here are less silt

open windows and doors here. All
this bespeaks the home town-and
where you have a good home town, you
have the best town in the universe.
Culture Is manifest here, and as for

who tried :. last winter. when the
statehood bill was up. were certainly
turned down hard enough. oklahoma
people. in common with others, have
recognized th-t the unyielding attitude
Of Speaker Cannon at the real crisis
was the cause OF defeat While Ok.
iahoma people naturally felt deeply
chagrined at this action Of the speaker,
yet they could find better feeling
taking its place if the iron wilied old
speaker would take their part, or at
least cease to bar the way. Speaker
Cannon is drst Of all Republican. He
is postmaster in the game Of politics.
Now the fact he should be made I'd
see clearly. is this: that he is injuring
the chances Of his party here in Okla
homa by his attitude, The majority
IS already very small and will grow
smarter, unless a Republican congress
ceases to delay statehood. Promises
don't 60 anymore.
The hearty declaration Of the Press
association for one state without any
mixup with Arizona and New Mexico
has already begun to take effect at
Washington and all over the country.

somebody looked out TO see and then

Now the point is this: that which is
good for Kansas City is good for other
aspiring towns. II Is good advice for
Guthrie. The motto that won for the
city by the Kaw viii win for the one
