SOUTHERN TRAFFIC
COMPETITION SUCCESSFUL

(The New York Financier)
Impelled by the urgent demands Of
dealers in gram at New York and
other Atlantic ports for such a recti-
fication Of railroad rates on this staple
as would result in the diversion Of the
movement from the primary distrib-
utiDg points to the Atlantic seaboard
instead Of to the Gulf, the traffic
agents Of the trunk line transportation
companies agreed, at a conference IN
this city last month, 30 put in force
at the beginning Of April a schedule
Of grain rates which It was asserted
would effectually prevent any success
ful competition by roads having Gulf
connections with those terminating at
Atlantic ports. It was confidently ex-
pected by the Eastern dealers in grain
that for the remainder of the export
season at least the receipts Of bread
stuffs would, under this agreement, be
normal It appears, however, that be-
cause &c the interposition Of insur-
mounta, le obstacles the agreement Of
the trunk line traffic agents could not
be enforced, and through the offer by
lines with Gulf termini Of more ad-
vantageous rates than before, the
movement Of grain over these roads
seems to have largely Increased in
February, and It win doubtless con
tinue heavy for the remainder Of the
season
Statistics show how important to the
Gulf roads this diversion Of grain has
become. lis corn alone the exports
from New Orleans in February we're
nearly 4 million bushels in excess OF
those for the same month a year ago,
and this too without taking into ac-
count nearly l-2 million bushels on
shipboard which had not been cleared
at the end Of the month. With re-
coipts Of grain at all primary markets
showing marked decreases. compared
with last year, the diversion Of ship
ments thereof TO Gulf instead of to
Atlantic ports has become serious
matter During January the exports
Of all grains were about equally divid-
ed between what may be termed the
rival ports Of the Gulf and the sea
board and, inGsing from the move
ment above noted from New Orleans
in February, it appears probable that
the record of that month will show
that a much greater proportion OF the
grain movement was from the Gulf
than from the Atlantic ports Though
the exports Of wheat and of -four may
be large from the latter because Of
the greater facilities enjoyed by the
trunk lines in reaching primary dis
tributing points for these breadstuffs,

STATEHOOD

The vinlta Chieftain very sensibly
says.
The advocacy Of statehood for the
Indian territory alone at this time
would be iEexcusable folly, and it is
hsrdly 70 be presumed that such a
movement would or could take definite
shape There IS an element Of pride
IN making one great state instead Of
two 'dinky' states that could never
occupy any other than second or
third rate place in the family Of states.
Beside. the Indian territory has very
much to gain by union with Oklahoma
Statehood for Indian territory by IT,
self would not be feasible nor adyis-
able for a dozen years"

ECONOMIC CITY GOVERNMENT.
The happiness and continued pros
perty Of the people Of Oklahoma and
Of this county and city depend upon a
careful observance Of appropriate
economy in the expenditure Of public
money The fact that this city and
the whole territory have the widest op-
pa-tunities for growth and financial
stability enfegces the need for keeping
the largest possible amount Of means
in the hands Of the people and Of keep
lug taxation at the lowest point con-
sistent with enicient public service.
Already general taxation has been
plenty high enough. Reduction is the
word that must mark the 4uture con-
duct Of the affairs Of the city,
the county and the territory
This IS not an frridescent dream Of an
editor but a blunt fact furnished by
the county treasurer. It is not an item
df encouragement or a kick, but the
simple truth. 1t does not need COM
ment or explanation even. Reduction

means Of preventing It's upward tend

either for an Individual or state or
city Nice things there are. things
we need and ought 70 have, but the
wise man looks at his purse before he
spends
This Is exactly what the late million
dollar Republican legislature did not
do. This Is what the Republican city
government has not done This was
what the late Republican county
board did not do but squaadgred the
money. leaving the present board only
urgent necessities and no money.
The territorial tax is fixed by the
legislative appropriations for the next
fBOyesrs. Only statehood or an extra
session could change that. When
electing the next assembly the people
win speak. The new Democratic
county board gill meet the absolute
necessities Of the county with as low
a levy as wils meet the needs Of the
county. in view Of the way the county
money was squandered by the former
board to the neglect Of absolutely
necessary bridges and other important
matters.
The reckless financiering OF the city,
If such wanton prohigacy may be so
denom'nated. is now to receive the
judgment Of the taxpayers at the com
ing city election. Republicans. as well
as Democratic property owners, will
have none Of the old gangs slate.
Take them whenever you like and you
win find a colored gentleman in the
woodpile.
The city needs able business and
professional men to run It's affairs and
the Democratic-Citizen's ticket offers
the opportunity 20 get what they want.

the lungs, bronchitis and consump-
ton, are very apt to spread through

team yesterday was far superior to
that Of South McAlester and has

first appearance on the local grounds
and the manner in which he oficated
from the mound was highly pleasing
to everyond except the visiting team
who were unable to find him for more
than single hit.
Frank Cooper pitched for South
McAlester and pitced a fairly good
game but his support was very poor
and a number Of hits marked against

mates.

work. But for an error in the first
inning the visitors would have failed
to cross the plate.
