Flynn Returns
And Ex presses Opinion that the
Bill will Pass.

An Oklahoma City Times Jour
nal received the following inter
view from Dennis Flynn on his
return from Washington:
1T is my opinion in spite Of
adverse reports, that we will get
statehood. Both parties claim
a majority, and the adherents of
the Hamilton bill claim that state
hood will be Forthcoming, with or
without the Arizona and New
Mexico proviso, while the opposi-
tion say we cant get it without it.
II is not a fight on amendments, but
simply a fight for a vote on the
the measure before the senate, and
that seems to be probable about
February Ist. A vote has been
asked for several times, but has
been denied. The parliamentary
usages Of the senate admit Of no
cloture so vote cannot be forced.
An effort is now being made to
set date for a vote on the bill for
February Ist or thereaboutes, and
out Of all this shuttle / think state
hood f5r the territories will come.
Theschool land lessees preference
right clause has been reinserted in
the bill"
Mr.. Flynn made no comment on
this, but his evident appreciation
Of the fact does not look well for
Guthrie's chances Of keeping
whole skin on the federal court
proposition. With reference to the
public building and grounds COM
mittee Mr.. Flynn said:
ut is understood that the COM
Aztec mentioned will repost be-
tween seven and nine millions dol
lars this session, and l think Ok

1u PKICTIG1I.

A figurer has figured that the normal
human body has in it the iron needed
to make seven large nails, the fat for
fourteen pounds of candles. the carbon
for sixty-five gross of crayons and phos-
phorus enough for $4,000 matches. Out
of 1t can be obtained, besides, twenty
spoonfuls of salt, fifty humps of sugar
and forty-two liters of water.
Some of this figuring ought to be
stopped, or. at least, not made public.
Suppose the trust octopuses should get
it into their heads that there is money
in human beings in the way indicated
above? Enough has already been said
to inspire the cartoonist of the New
York Journal to make a grim picture
showing the trusts in the act of ex
tracing nails, candles, carbon, phospho'
rus, salt, sugar and water from human
victims. Let us have some peace
please. It is better to look on ourselves
as beings of hope, love and aspiration
than as iron mines. salt mines, candle
factories or match factories.

a different day from that on which the

New Zealand affords a precedent,
There the Maori vote. but vote for their
own candidates only-not for candidates
of the whites.
The question is discussed in connec-
ton with the problem of federating all
the British colonies of South Africa.
The extent to which the natives vote
in Cape Colony is mentioned as an OBJ
stacle to federation, the other colonies
Directing to having the affairs of the
proposed union p ssed upon by the ig-
norant colored voters of Cape Colony.
This difficulty may be obviated, it is
suggested, as respects federal politics,
by permitting each colony to allow its
colored citizens to vote in domestic af-
fairs, but not take part in federal cleo
lions, In the Cape it is suggested that
six seats be given to the natives of the
entire colony, who can thus protect
their interests, but will not give offense
to other colonies, like Rhodesia or the
Transvaal. which do not care much to
be dominated by the negro vote. The
colored vote is said to be increasing
rapidly in Cape Colony. where it tends
to corruption and disorder.

HEawatha ON snowbnlIinE.

Yesterday said Hiawatha.
"On my way down to the office,
was walloped by a SNOWFALL
Thrown by some hard-hitting urchin;
On my classic mug it struck me,
On my frontiSpiece, my forehead,
And it bounced into the gutter
With a sort of satisfaction.
Just as if 1t meant to tell me:
Hiawatha, l have damned YOU
Every time pass a cluster
Of those busy little raseals
known by courtesy as schoolboys,
become extremely nervous;
When see them packing snowballS,
When see them softly giggling,
Up I turn my ulster collar,
Down I pull my head within it,
Feeling positive, my dearies,
That shall become target.
I'm the land of the Ojibways
Little urchins threw no snowballs;
Should you ask me- why they didn't,
This, think, would be my answer:
Chicken Feathers-in- his-Topknot
Was a sassy little rascal,
Always UP to some bad mischief,
Always looking for some trouble.
Chicken Feathers said. his mother,
You will come to some bad finish
Chicken Feathers said his father,
Some day you will get it plenty
Naughty little Chicken Feathers
Did not heed his dear old parents,
Hearkened not to their wise counsel;
This Is how he met onah:'
Down the street came Phony-Scarfpin
Proudest dandy in the village,
Loudest Injun in the county,
Watch me shine said Phony-Scarfpir
Watch me captivate the ladies'
Then it was that Chicken Feathers
Saw this walking clothing dummy
Sailing down the old Rialto,
And he whispered, Watch me cop him
Eagerly he packed a SNOWFALL,
Packed 1t till it felt like pig iron,
Packed it till 1t was a weapon
Fit to try upon Jim Jeffries;
Then he let it go, my dearies,
Let 1t go with speed terrific,
Till 1t landed with a vengeance
On the proud old Phony-Scarfpin,
Nearly breaking. when 1t landed,
His medulla oblongata.
Then the victim Of the SNOWFALL
Slowly pulled himself together,
Chased the little Chicken Feathers,
Caught him finally, and scalped him.
This discouraged throwing sriowballs
In the land of the Ojibways.

Awhile ago "the minority investor
wasn't at all sure that he had any
rights which the high tinanciers were
bound to recognize or respect, but he
has reason now. to feel less sad over his
status. Reorganizers of corporations
have just been told that even when
carte blanche is given them by a voting
majority OF the ownership they cannot
make merchandise of the rights of mi
nority. That is the gist of decision
just rendered by the Court of Appeals of
New York in the suit Of an Englishfidu-
ciary trust against the reorganization
committee of the Birmingham, Sheffield
and Tennessee River Railroad Compa-
ny, operating In Alabama.
The decision will tend to check the
current assumption that the money Of a
minority interest in corporation has
no rights as against the money of a ma
jority interest. 1t establishes the rule
that, when dominant majority which
has reorganized a company damages
the interests of a bond or stakeholder, il
must face a jury in a suit for damages
and face it with precedent against II
which commands that 1t shall not mere
ly give the investor something that ii
says is ''just as good" but something
that is really as good, as the interest he
had. And it establishes the principle
that the reorganization cannot proceed
regardless Of restraint--even under the
vote of a majority interest-until hold
ers have been notified Of plan formu
lated and had a chance to withdraw.
So far, so good. The minority inves
tor is not quite the worthless worm that
he has seemed to be, and it is to be
hoped that he will be encouraged tc
turn some now.
