YOklNG THE TERRITORIES

The omnibus statehood bill was
split wide open in the Senate last
Friday, that body eliminating that
part of the measure relating to the
admission Of Arizona and New
Mexico AS one State, and agreeing
to the provision in relation to
Oklahoma and Indian Territory.
While each OF these territories is
ready for statehood and should be
admitted as separate States, the
defeat of the Administrations plan
to yoke Arizona aud New Mexico
into single statehood is some recog-
milton of Western sentiment and
feeling. The underlying policy Of
the Republican party of the com
mercialized East against separate
statehood for each of these terri
tories is based on sectional politics
pure and simplei fear of the aug.
mentation of representation and
power of the growing aud agrees i.
i've West in the United States
Senate, and Il corresponding weak
ening OF the power of the little
borough States of the East in the
same body.
The bill as it now goes back tC
the House has aroused the fighting
ire of Speaker Cannon, the czal
and big boss Of that body, and he
declares that it would be humiliat'
ing to the House to accept the
measure as it comes from the
Senate. lie is therefore contrivinG
TO override the Senate, and says il
must be the original omnibus bill
or nothing; that Arizona must be
voked to New Mexico or Oklahoma
and Indian Territory shall not
come in. Great as is the power of
the Big Boss of the House and the
Big Stick of the White House, it
is confidently predicted that he can
neither prevent the concurrence of
the House in the Senate's action
nor carry out his other alternative
of defeating the whole measure.
If he could do the latter we
don't know but what it would be
for the best in the end. While the
people of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory are clamoring for state
