OUGHT TO BE A STATE.

There was recently held at Oklahoma City a Statehood Convention at whien over 1000 delegates were present from Oklahoma and Indian Territory. The resolutions adopted call attention to the fact that the two territories conn bined have a much greater area than the average State, and that they have a population of 100000. The third resolution. says:
 have property subject to taxation worth la billion dollars. We have 9oo'ovo acres of coal lands and we produce pl- passed by any State in the Union. We have natural gas fields containing sin gle wells which produce 26.o00.0e0 cubic M feet per, day yeSs Me now haye containing dreds of producing wells. and equal to the celebrated fields of PennsyivanIa and kansas' s,va we nabe peds moSn os exceiient stone. asphalt and marble. We nave developed mines of lead and zinc. we have great areas of untouched forests and millions of acres of fertile plains which rival the valley of the Red River of the North in its production or corn, the prairies of Iowa in their pro. duction of coal, and the Pacific slope in the quality of its fruit. And we nave 5000 miles of railroad to convey our products to market and these traverse every country in both territories.
 These facts, for they are facts, will probably be in the nature of surprise to those who have failed to keep up with the recent history of that coun- try. Its development within the last decade has been wonderful. Not only is it one of the richest sections of the country in mineral, agricultural and timber wealth, but it is pretty well up in intelligence and education. The ln- dian Journal has compiled statistics from which it states that the average of illiteracy for the two Territories is not over per cent. of the population. The older States. many of them at least. would do well to make such a good showing.
 From whatever point of view we con- sider the subject we are bound to con- clude that there Is not shred of ar gument against admitting these two Territories as one State. We have thought tha: they should be admitted as two States but there seems no prob ability of that being done. and the nex' best thing would be to unite them into one State. Unless politics takes a hand as has been done before, and blocks tht efforts of ths Statehood advocates, WI see no reason 10 doubt that the nex Congress will add a new star to oul flag. The proposition to add Arizonf and New Mexico and thus form one i'm mense State considerably larger thar Texas, is as absurd as it Is unjust, an( . is only resorted to by those who wisf to prevent the formation of any new State. It is 9 proposition which shoult not be considered at all. but Oklahoma and Indian Territory ought to be ad mitted as one State without opposi tion.

A dignifed young Oriental who is serving as chef of Indian dishes in an Atlantic City hotel turns out to be the scion of noble family in the island of Ceylon.

An old man writes to The Hartford Courant as follows:

After over seventy years in this city manufacturing, eith,r as employe or employer-I think I can quote expe- f;snce when I say that our working class are not as well off today. with short hours and high wages, and do not as a class save as much money as the same class did fifty or sixty years ago. I have now in mind two seven room. brick houses, built on one of our city streets by two friends of mine for $1,200 each, that could not be built un- der present conditions for $3.000. or course brick and all other material was cheaper: but what makes all these things dearer but the cost of labor? Now have always been a working man myself and have TO crusade against la bor but only say Gas I said when this foolish ferment begdn) that the work CTS were killing the. goose that laid fifty working years behind me circum- stances being such that twelve to four teen hours of work daily seemed to be reduisits, I can say have not suffered from overwork and when see able bodied men crying out for eight hours 1t makes me sick.
 And when we see men holding up their employers and demanding and re- ceiving ten hours pay for eight hours work it is enough to make anybody sick.

French Farmers' Pedixrees.

Some of the farmers in France have long pedigrees. The French Agricultu- ral Society had offered a prize for the farmer of longest standing in the Seine an old farmer named Liot, who. besides proving that he was the doyen of his district. produced documents showing that the farm had been in his family district a farmer named Bernage pro- duced a pedigree of 217 years.- Such instances of long descent are far trom uncommon in France.

Seems Significant.
Scottsboro Citizen.

The Montgomery Advertiser of last Friday came out In a strong editorial favoring pr. Cunningham for Governor This seems to be rather significant. The Advertiser rarely ever commits itself this early to any candidate for office, and it's course has put the politicians to guessing as to what 1t means. The Ad- vertiser Is a powerful lever for a can didate when 1t turns itself loose for him.

VISITING C0NGRESSMFN
A Tour of the Mines of he Bradshaw
 District.

Prescott. July 18.-(SpeciaL)- )-Con- gressman James A Tawney of Mime sota. Congressman Herman Philip GOebel or ohio. and Congressman Webster Everett Brown of Wisconsin. left Prescott today for d business visit to the mining districts of the Brad shaw mountains. It is understood that they are interested in the famous Peck mine. which was one of Arizona's s largest producers some years ago and which is again coming to the front un- der new management. This is the sec ond visit of Congressman Tawney to Arizona within a few weeks, and he is one of the territory's enthusiastic friends.
 The Republican has already told of his conversion to the cause of this ter ritory in the fight against joint state hood, and as he is one of the house leaders his dissent from the program of the majority will materially weaken that side. It is expected that Congress- men GOebel and Brown. both of whom are republicans. will announce their opposition to joint statehood before they start for home.
 The distinguished visitors are think ing of visiting Phoenix and the Salt River Valley before they return east, but their plans are not yet settled.

Hueston. who is a cripple. went into the stamp company's store on July 1 and while looking over stamps saw a book, which he supposed was a blank stamp book He stole it. and when he examined it at home he found it contained rare stamps. He tried several times to re- turn the book unnoticed, but was un- successful, and finally he testified tc- day, he sold it to J. J. Delaney, nine teen years old, for S4 and the promise of S5 more later.
 The boys plea was so unusual that the court decided not to inflict any punishment. but merely to place him on probation.
