LONG ON STATEHOOD.
Kansas Senator Makes a Strong Plea
for the Bill.

Washington, Feb. 6.-When the SEN
ate took up the consideration of the
statehood bill Saturday afternoon,
Senator Long of Kansas was recog-
nized by the presiding officer. He oc-
cupied most of the time given to the
bill. He gave most of his attention
to Oklahoma's position in the contro-
versy. He advocated the consoIida-
ton sof Arizona and New Mexico as one
state When Mr.. Long concluded Mr..
Bailey gave notice of motion to strike
out the provision of the bill prohibit
ing the abridgement of the right of
suffrage on account of race, color, or
previous condition of serVitude IS I'M
necessary. He also gave notice of
other amendments intended to extend
the authority of congress over the pro-
posed states. One of these eliminates
the provision making Guthrie the cap
itaI of Oklahoma until 1910. In a brief
speech he said he did not favor the
tory, but he recognized the probability
of that result and he believed the state
would be one of the richest in the
union. The senate went into execu-
tive session at 4.45 O'Clock and adj
journed five minutes later.
Senator Long made the most effec-
tive speech in behalf of statehood
that has been heard in the senate.
The Kansas senator spoke extempora-
neously but had the distinct adVan-
tage of thorough acquaintance with
his subject His speech was intended
as reply to those senators whose
IGNORANCE Of Indian Territory condi-
tious has led them to some remark
able conclusions. Senator Long was
given close attention nearly two hours.
He showed an intimate knowledge of
the treaties which had been entered
into with the Indians and sought to
emphasize the fact that no steps what
ever had been taken by congress to
prepare for the condition which would
confront the Indian Territory popula-
ton when all tribal relations were dis
solved in 1906.
.'If there is any part of the territory
of the United States" said he, where
there is government without consent
of the governed, it is in the Indian
Territory"
He cited the fact that Porto Rico
had government and a delegate to
congress and that Hawaii was pro-
vfded with a legislature and represen-
tation in congress. There was govern
ment for the Philippines, which 1t was
proposed to extend to make 1t repre-
sentative, and likewise for Alaska
For the Indian Territory nothing
whatever had been done. Oklahoma
Territory alone cast more votes at the
last election than any one of eighteen
states already in the union, and the
estimates of the Dawes commission
gave Indian Territory as large pop
ulation as Oklahoma Senator Long
said the people Of both Oklahoma and

lola Pastor Refused NIerrimac Hero
Privilege Of His Pulpit.

lola, Kas., Feb. 6.-Altogether I'M
awed by the fame of Richmond Pear
son Hobson. Dr. S. S. Murphy. pastor
of the Methodist churchs refused to
let the hero of the, Merrimac- occupy
his pulpit Sunday. During the absence
of the pastor the pulpit committee in
vited Hobson to speak, and he ac-
cepted the invitation When Dr.
Murphy returned home he vetoed the
arrangement
"a great union revival is now in
progress said the pastor, and DO
not think the presence of man in my
pulpit who has made himself con-
snicuous in every state in the union
by kissing women promiscuously would
be at all harmonious with the religious
movement now on foot"

Indian Territory would prefer to have
separate states, but recognized that
this was impossible. He knew the
sentiment in both territories and Joint
statehood would be acceptable to both.
Senator Long supported the bill in its
entirety.
Those who have given close atten-
ton to developments are convinced
that the bill as reported by the COM
mittee is stronger today than at any
other period. The young Republican
senators from the west who had
pledged themselves to protect Arizona
form absorption by New Mexico find
it difficult to stand out against the
dominant senate influences. The
Democratic side has lined up almost
solidly and will support practically
every amendment offered. The amend.
ments which will develop the greatest
strength on the Republican side are,
first, the plan to strike out all mention
of Arizona; second to strike out all
mention of both Arizona and New
Mexico, and third, to permit each ter
ritory separately to determine whether
or not it shall have statehood. It is
recognized that it will be impossible to
get a sufficient number of votes to
carry any other amendments to the
bill.
