only wish will be to serve you

Office by the people of this State

AMERICA In THE VAN
Ex.COunty Commissioner So tx
presses Himself after a Visit
TO His Native Land

Hon. Albert Heusser, whose
thorough going Americanism has
never been matter of doubt, re-
turned few days ago from a
two months visit to his boyhood
home in Switzerland, a more fer
vent admirer of all things Amer
lean than when he left. This
was Mr.. Heusser' first visit to
the land of his birth since he left
there nearly a half century ago,
and while he enjoyed the trip
throughout, he was glad to get
back to his Steptoe farm. When
asked by a NEWS reporter if he
had found many changes in his
native city, Mr.. Heusser said;
II found but few of my boy
hood associates left, and out Of a
large family only one of my sis
ters and two brothers are living
in s witzerland: Otherwise there
have been but few changes made
since | left there forty-two years
ago.
'''rhe people of Switzerland
are not q progressive people like
the Americans. 1t is hard for
them to discard their old methods
and ideas. More especially is
this true of the farmers. You
will be surprised when | tell you
that the sicle and scythe and hand
rake are still used exclusively by
the farmers in harvesting their
hay and grain.
In the cities a few modern i'm
proyements are noticed, but they
do not come up to the American
standard, either i'll workmanship
or in efficiency. The trolley car
and electric light are found in all
the cities, but the street car ser
vice is widely different from that
found in American cities. The
cars are much smaller, and the
comfort of the passengers seems
not to have been entered into the
idea of their construction. The
same is true of the railway ser
vice generally. The second-class
coaches are without customs and
the frst-class coaches are fur
nished about the same as the
tourist coaches on an American
line. +"
"Do you not think this fact is
due to Government ownership
of the railroads. Mr.. Heusser
was asked.
No, | do not, was the reply;
for in | found the same condi-
tions in France and Germany,
where the roads are not owned by
the Government. In France the
road beds are so rough that at
times it is difficult for one to
keep his seat when the train is
running at high speed.
In this country it is impos-
sible to get on the wrong train,
as you are compelled to show
your ticket before you can pass
through the gate: but in Ger
many, France and Switzerland
you are compelled to inquire your
way every time you change cars,
and are extremely lucky If you
succeed in catching the right
train
Asked If he would like to
spend the remainder of his life
in his native country, Mr..
Heusser, who, when excited,
speaks with strong German ac-
cent, replied "Py the heavens,
no; I would not even leave my
pones there.

OBsTAOLE.

Colonel Douglas ia his Muskogee Phoenix expresses
the view that the separate statehood constitutional con-
yention called to meet at Muskogee this month will en-
hance rather than impair the cause Of separate statehood
He believes that It Is an Indian movement congress
viii look upon the convention expression OF the
willingness Of the Indians to accept state form Of gov
eminent and that no attention whatever win be paid to
the action taken
This view probably ar-fetched Indians participated
in the single statehood convention at Oklahoma City,
and in many other ways have sgnhed their desire for
statehood There Is no doubt but that by fostering
countermovement the Indian Territory throwing OBJ
saces 10 the way statehood for the two territories 1t
is bringing about condition similar to that which has
kept New Mexico and Arizona out of the Union for over
quarter OF century When the territories can't agree
upon the kind Of statehood to be granted how can tey
expect congress- which naturally has less Interest," IN the
matter agree? If there can be no harmony mere no"
can there be at Washington, where naturally ouher IN
teress than the welfare Of the twin territories given
more considerations
Colonel Douglas is right in his assumption that con-
gress will pay little attention to the action taken by the
premature constitutional convention bt his statement
that it win remove the last obstacle in the way of single
statehood appears illogical and misleading Members Of
congress who are too favorable to joint state
hood may see In the movement opposition to the union
OF the two territories and may conduct themselves accord
ngy thus bringing about deadlock here as in the case
Of new Mexico and Arizona-not enough votes TO put
through statehood for either territory and not enough
for both together Though only few votes could De
possibly effected, every vote will count next winter
The argument Of the Muskogee editor that Joint
statehood advocates should participate in the conyen
ton 50 as to place the Indian record favorng state
hood, is too thin 1t sounds too much like "come to
Muskogee everybody. 1t matters not whether you are
for separate or joint statehood or what the result
may be- Our Chamber Of commerce. our hotels and our
business men want the people here regardless OF any IN
jury to the welfare Of the twin territories 50 come
anyway even though you do believe the meeting will be
knock on the only kind of statehood possible state

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP WON'T DO
1t Would Give Our Political Machines Too
Much Power, Dalrymple Says.

PHILADELPHIA, June lS.-James Dali
ry,nple OF Glasgow says he has seen enough
of this country to be convinced that munic-
ipal ownership will never do in a republic
and that the idea Is one Of the great dangers
with which the people of this country must
contend.
"To put street railroads, gas works,
telephone companies, &c. under municipal
ownership" he said this evening, would
be to create a political machine in every
large city that would be simply impreg-
nable. These political machines are al
ready strong enough with their control
Of policemen, fremen and other office
holders.
IF. in addition TO this they could control
the thousands Of men employed in the
great public utility corporations, the po-
litical machines would have power that
could not be overthrow. l came to this
country a believer In public ownership.
What I have seen here, and l have studied
the situation carefully, makes mo realize
that private ownership under proper con-
ditions ia far better for the citizens of Ameri-
can cities.

attend the last days sessions Of the eSecu-
tive committee of the American Street Rail-
road Association. Shortly before mid
