MERELY TO BLOCK PROGRESS

Many Of the sincere weli.wishers of
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory
will view the present separate state
hood convention at Muskogee as
serious blow to the best interests of
these territories Whatever the mo
tives of those behind the present
movement. II Is safe to assume that
they entertain no actual belief that
their activities will forward a move
ment that is none TOO hopeful at the
best Thcy have managed through
clever manipulation to give a sem
blance of spontaneity to the conven-
tlon. but to those familiar with the
situation the real object and purposes
Of the Muskogee gathering are IA
miliar
The fight for statehood that has
been 20 splonddly waged in the inter.
ests of both territories has attracted
the admiration of the entire country
and today sentiment exists in and
out of congress that the coveted bles-
sings cannot be much longer withheld.
The recent single statehood conyen-
tlon was participated in by members
of all political parties and represented
nearly every interest of both Oklaho-
ma and Indian Territory. and the re
suit of it's work was the crystalliza'
tion Of an almost universal sentiment
for single statehood. The effect of this
convention was to remove, for the
time at least, the excuse of opposing
congressman that politics and jeal-
ousies had entered into the PROPOSE
ton. Single statehood was and is the
adopted policy Of a majority Of the
citizens of both territories.
The present convention at Musko-
gee can have but one result. While
not advancing the interests of state
hood for Indian Territory st may serve
to complicate things and block the
Lopedfor legislation at the next term
OF congress. llit believed by many that
this i- the very object of the gather.
ing. and this idea is fostered by the
fact that apparently &c is the purpose
of the promoters 20 continue the de-.
Ilboratiaus until congress meets. While
a majority OF the people of both terri
tories are unqueafionabl. In favor of
single statehood and this form Of en-
try into The slsterhood Of states has
merit. ro,son and logic in it's favor,
certain unfricndly members of con
gress will seize eagerly the excuse
offered by the Muskogee meeting TO
further d lay favorable action. The
practical way 20 combat this hostile
activity On the part of the Indian Ter
ritoly double statehood leaders Is for
Oklahoma to renew vigorously its
fight for single statehood, in which it
will be backed by the unselfshly pro-
gressiye people Of the Indian Terri

Came From Memphis.

Some interruptions person has cir culated the report that we have just received carload of drygoods, etc., from New Orleans.
 This is malicious fabrication of the truth. The carload of goods came from B. Lowenstein & Bros., in Mem- phis, as may readily be substantiated by their marks upon the packages, and this early in the season for the very purpose of avoiding what these per- sons would have you believe is now the case, viz, that these goods are from a yellow fever district, and pos sibly infected with the disease germs.
 Our customers may be well assured that nothing will ever come into our store from which there is danger of contracting disease.
 It is possible that Memphis may have the fever later, and as stated above, we have taken time by the forelock, and bought our goods before the danger is even sight.
 Come in and see us.
