As To Statehood

A person who reads only the Guth-
rie, Oklahoma City and other eastern
Oklahoma newspapers would think
no other opinion was held than that
Oklahoma and Indian Territories
should form one state. But now
comes the st. Louis Republic, which
certainly has some prestige in the
ncwpaper world, and some pretty good
ideas ~ to the consistency OF such
things, and presents the following ed.
itorial opinion;
Barring the cussedness and perver.
sity Of brutally large Republican ma
jorities in the two houses OF Congress
there Is no particular reason why
there should not DO two new States
from the Central Southwest instead
Of one, though the best friends oi
statehood have united on single State
- easiest to get, With resources fol
supporting an abundant population
both Oklahoma and the Indian Terri
tory are larger In area than many q
the States that exert great power and
influence In the Government at Wash
ington.
"Oklahoma 10 about one-afth larger
than Maine. more than three times al
large as Maryland, nearly five times Al
large a. Massachusetts, eight times q
large - Connecticut, nineteen time
~ large - Deleware and thirty-one
times as large A. Rhode Island. Th'
Indian Teraitory has more than three
fourths the area OF Oklahoma.

recall from the penal settlements learned
and honest men to fill the places of
drunken and corrupt judges and officials.
Revolution is coming, because the EN-
peror has chosen advisers like PObiedonO-
stseff and Plehve, whose counsel IS die
tated by love of neither Czardom nor
country, but only for the benefit of them
selves or the class from which they are
drawn. Revolution is coming, because
freedom of speech and of the press are
essential to civilized men, Revolution
is coming, because the grant of equal
rights in the eye of the law without re-
spect to creed, color or race is an ele-
mentary form of justice required by
Russians no less than by Englishmen
or Americans.

resents the cultivated classes in Russia.
| may tell you that the barristers who
enjoy the rank equivalent to your Kings
Counsel unanimously refuse to practise IN
the Russian courts; the medical and
scholastic professions are revolutionary
almost to a man; and the shifting of the
center of gravity, when 1t comes, viii be
surprising to the onlOOkers. The Roman
offs no longer represent Russia The
Executive Committee of the Revolution
has for its constituency all the best
elements in the nation. They are not
highfalutin schemers for impossible rights
of man, but are serious and deter
mined persons who have given their
fortunes and are prepared to risk their
lives to obtain the elementary rights of
freedom for all Russian people, Jew and
Gentle, from the Pacific to the German
frontier.
''As an instance of the extent to which
the Revolutionary Party are working
with the officials, may mention a few
examples. A certain ordnance officer
sold to the Revolutionary Party seventy
FIVE thousand rubles worth of the Cars
powder for fifteen thousand rubles in cash.
Near Riga twelve thousand of the latest
pattern service rifles were bought for
four thousand rubles, half in notes and
half in gold In Moscow two hundred
thousand rubles worth of blankets were
sold for forty thousand rubleS; these
blankets were intended for Manchuria,
but that was not their destination. In
Moscow a week afterward, surgical in
struments, medicine-Chests, medlCated
cotton, which cost eighty-hve thousand
rubles were bought for fourteen thousand
rubles. There are over two hundred spies
of the Russian Government in England,
and one well-known person IN society re-
ceived by your politicians IS spy-and
an incompetent one. London, Man /
chester, Hull and Liverpool are infested |
with Russian spies.

But the curious part of the story IS that
the rich man never had a wife, and the
