DARK
FOR STATEHOOD
Senator Beveridge Shows Dis
position to Let Bill Go Over

Numerous conferences we're held on
the floor Of the senat yesterday regard
ing a vote on the statehood bill An
effort was made to get Senator Bever-
idge, chairman Of the committee on
territories, to agree to some order for
voting on amendments. He said he
was not oppos d to such an agreement
and, fnther, that he did not care
much whether a vote was had on the
statehood bin at the present session.
With twelve new senators coming in
with the opening Of the next congess,
he said he felt that the bill would be
passed in its present form. The
senator's statement is taken as an
indiction that the bill soon may be
displaced, as the pending business

Don't XIII the Club.
To The Chieftain.

To The ChIeftain.
Mr.. Editor:-I notice long edi-
torlal in the columns Of The Leader of
this week advising the Commercial
club how it ought to transact its ar
fairs 1t sounds fine, but little good
reason or business sense applied will
see the folly of it.
In the first place our club Is the
Oldest one III the Cherokee nation,
Tulsa, BartlesYiIle and these other
places referred to are new, and .they
have not tried their. plan long enough
to see how it will work, but as to our
own club Ii has run almost two years
and has donc a great deal Of good By
getting the people together and by
concert or action and well disciplined
effort they were doing some good, but
il seems that a spirit has come over
some Of the members and they want
to have it all their way It looks like
an effort to fix up a good job for some
fellow BY his friends who are doing it
al the expense Of the Commercial
club. The receipts are less than s125
per month at the present time.
DO the members want to give up
500 Of This Tor the secretary salary
And then the incidental expenses will
eat mp the balance Of II. and the club
would have no money to do anything
with. This would not last long; the
members would drop out and the club
would be 4 thing Of the past instead
OF being a much needed thing in the
town at the present time. ] can hardly
believe the business men Of this town
viii allow two Or three Oklahoma /
boomers to lead them into a deal to
fix up fat job al 800 per month for
one of their members
You viii notice the article practi-
eally decides for Mr.. Campbell that he
has too much to do 70 take the Job.
Citizens. il you wish to keepthe Com
mercial club on a sound basis, you had
better take some interest in its man
agement. a MEMBER

committee composed Of members Of

For the first time the good roads
advocates have in saded Indian Terri
tory and find that they have here to
deal with a more anomalous social and
economical question than is known IN
any other part of the country. The
present system Of law governing the
Indian Territory is such patchwork
of legal technicalities, combined with
the authority OF the Secretary Of the
Interior, in dealing with the Indian
and the white man that the good roads
proposition was discussed freely by
leading citizens who favCr statehood.
The first question asked Of the good
roads advocates was, What good can
the good roads train do In this section
under the present unsettled condi-
ti0ns 2" They soon found an answer
and the atmosphere was cleared when
President w. II. Moore Of tho National
Good Roads Association and the NJ,
X. 4 r. officials in the party pointed
out the fact that Indian Territory Isl
verging on statehood, which viii come
sooner or later, and THAT when they
understood che good roads question
and knew tie proper road laws that
should be enacted they would have
valuable information % be incorpo-
rated ID the state constitution.
