WashingtonIL Letter.

Washington, D. c., March Il =
Congressman J. W. Babcock, on
Wednesday delivered a speech in
the house on the statehood bill and
strongly advocated accepting the
amendments of the senate provid-
ing for the admission of Oklahoma
and Indian Territory as one state
and excluding Arizona and New
Mexico. His address was warmly
received and frequently he was in
terrupted by applause. While feel
ing upon this measure runs high,
owing to the fact that Speaker Can
non appears to regard any change
in the measure as it was passed by
the house, an affrOnt to him and de-
feat of the house organization plans,
the speech Of Congressman Babcock
received marked attention. He
considered rot only the business
and political aspects of the sItua-
ton, but spoke warmly in support
of the proposition that the citizens
of the territory affected should have
the right to say whether or not
they wanted to come into the union.
The speaker specifically pointed out
the racial antagonisms and present
ed the testimony of most reliable
men to show the effect of joining
the two territories.
Mr.. Babcock's speech served as a
notice to the joint statehood forces
Of the house that the position of the
so-called insurgents would be main
tanned and that the organization
plan to reject the senate amend
ments and send the bill to confer
ence would be fought. The insur-
gents favor the admission of the
Indian country to statehood but OPP
pose the jointure Of Arizona and
New Mexico. Every possible as
pect of the case was fully debated
in the senate and the position taken
by Congressman Babcock and his
associates was sustained in every
particular by the amendments
passed.
On Thursday a republican party
conference was called by Speaker
Cannon and tho organization plans
were rushed through dispite the
vigorous protests of the members
opposing joint statehood. 1t is
thought here that the senate will
refuse to recede from the position
taken in the amendments to the
statehood bill as it passed the house.
If statehood for Oklahoma and In
dian Territory is defeated, the
blame will rest upon the men who
insist upon the plan as originally

MINING NOTES

The first impression that strang-
ers have when they strike this Sec
ton is that the average denizen is
extremely non compos mentis on
the subject of mines and mining,
but it is lead pipe cinch that they
themselves always go away with
''bats in their own belfreys." The
disease" is extremely contagious!
The man who comes into the dis
trict and is not thoroughly i'm
pressed with the extent of the lead
and zinc industry here is really to
be pitied.
Notwithstanding the activity in
prospecting during the winter, it
will seem tame to the work that is
planned for spring and summer. IF
labor and machinery can be secured
with any degree of promptness, the
district will show an unprecedented
degree of prosperity
~
During the spring and summer
there will be an unusual demand in
the district for miners. The fact
that great number of the drilling
propositions that have been operat-
ing during the winter have found
cuttings rich enough to warrant the
sinking Of shafts, will mean that
practical miners will be in demand.
A good miner will earn in the neigh
borhood of $500 a day. Shit
bosses receive more. From So. 90
to $500 day are paid for good
practical machinists-(uot black
smiths superintendent from 81, 900
to $4,000 year. In this industry
as in others, wages paid are in pro-
portion to what a man is capable of
doing. Some men are dear at any
price-and it is shown in no place
better than in the practical work
ing of a mine. But there will be
such a demand for wolkmen that
even inexperienced..men will find no
trouble in securing employment.

made by the house leaders beng
executed. This will block state
hood Of any kind. On Friday Con-
gresham Babcock again expressed
his views at the conference aud no.
tice was served that the 1nsurgent
members would refuse to be bound
by the action Of the conference.
22S
In order to give some idea of how
little force and effect the ordinary
member has here, i can be stated
that the determination of the entire
statehood proposition rests with the
speaker. If Speaker Cannon re-
cedes from the position he has
taken, Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory will be admitted as one state.
If he does not the entire bill will
fail. The question now has re-
solved itself into a move where the
prestige of the speaker is at stake,
or is thought to be by the men who
fail to give other reasons for the ac-
ceptance of the senate bill. The
speaker has received thousands of
kilograms and numerous petitions
asking him to abandon his stand
and permit Oklahoma to come in
regardless of Arizona and New
Mexico.
~
Sometimes in the effort to make
political capitol against man in
public life, opponents are neither
fair nor inclined to be even truth
full. This was illustrated the other
day when Congressman Babcock
was charged with having exerted
his influence to xiii off a resolution
being considered before the house
committee on election Of the presl-
dent aud vice president and which
called for information relating to
campaign contributions. The res0-
luton was introduced by a demo-
crat and was designed to furnish
an opportunity for making cam
paign material. From the time the
resolution was introduced up to the
time of its consideration before the
committee, it is doubtful if more
than few Of the members ever
deemed it necessary to give atten-
ton to the proposition, and it is
absolutely certain that it had no APP
plication whatever to the cam
paigns conducted by either the CON
gressional committee of the repub-
licans or democrats. 1t was a demo
cratic effort to slap President Roose
Welt and to demonstrate what cand1
date Parker had said to be true as
to the amount of money Chairman
COrtelyOu had at his disposal. Re
