COL. BAREFOOT
Returns From Washington With
Good News-Says He Is
Still Willing to
RISK HIS REPUTATION
AS a Guesser- Sidelights on Life
In the Capital

Col. Geo. w. Barefoot returned
home from Washington yesterday.
He is looking well and evidently
life in Washington agreed with
him. This is nothing more than
was to be expected, however, for
other than the grand congressional
"pow WOW" (Which even has a
counterpart in our city council)
there is little in the capital to which
he had not grown accustomed in
his metropolitan home city. The
Colonel informs US that he had no
trouble with the pound man in
Washington.
"What about statehood" was
the first questionput by reporter.
We'll, I'm still willing to risk
my reputation as guesser, Okla
homa and Indian Territory will
get statehood before the session
closes. OF this | feel certain. An
agreement was practically reached
last week TO take vote on the
amendment eliminating the New
Mexico Arizona feature Of the bill
aud there is little doubt that with
these out of the way Oklahoma
and Indian Territory will be adj
mitted as one state. The demo-
Gratis and enough western repubh-
cans to pass the bill will vote for it,
Senator Nelson, the ranking mem
Der Of the committee on territories,
now practically has charge OF the
bill. Senator Beveridge, Of course
is standing out for the bill in its
present form since this was agreed
upon as party policy. Senator
Bailey is doing much for Indian
Territory and is entitled to the
thanks of all our people. 7
"Did you find the members Q
Congress pretty familiar with con
ditions here9" was asked. The,
know less about Indian Territor,
than the average ten year-old schoo
boy in Chickasha, replied Colone
Barefoot. "a few Of them hk
Senator McComber, Of North Da
xota, who made the ablest speecl
that has been made on the subject
exhibit all intimate acquaintanc
with our affairs but most Of ther
have given Indian Territory littl
or no attention. They are poste
on the Philippines and Porto Rico
but Indian Territory is terra IN
cognito' 10 them"
Col. Barefoot gave some intei
esting side lights on Washingto
and the ways Of congress. Il
I didn't think that the Stewart bi
, for winding up the affairs Of th
4 territory would pass but some sim
1 lar bill probably would. II
4 thought Chickasha was sure to g
