a year, Mr. Sturm knows the book of
Oklahoma by heart, and never tires OF
citing it to the glory of the newest
star in the national emblem.
II is gathered from his comments
that Oklahoma, the youngest of Uncle
Sans large family, is a precocious
child, mature before its time. Like
many another youngest child, it has
absorbed the ideas of its elder bro
Tiers and sisters, until it seems sold
as they; and Mr.. Sturm cites ample
authority to prove that Oklahoma al
ready has civilization as ripe as
that of many of the eastern states.
Mr.. Sturm was formerly in the
country newspaper business at Mar
shall, Mo-, from which place he went
to st. Louis. where he had a taste
of metropolitan work. One day he
told his city editor that he was go
ing to Oklahoma to start a magazine.
The word "Oklahoma evidently con-
iured up an idea of Indians, cowboys
and greasers in the editors mind, for
he remarked that that field would
prove publishers graveyard, How

what coal costs here.
81 am native Missourian, and am
proud of the state. Within the last
few weeks, have passed through 1t
twice. and have given some attention
to the crops of the various counties
and am prepared to say that the
wheat and corn crops of Oklahoma
are ahead of those in Missouri by a
large per cent. This is partially due
to the fact that the season was better
there than here, but the great secret
lies in the fact that in Oklahoma we
have virgin soil, as rich as was the
soil in Missouri fifty years ago.
"In an agricultural way, the new
state of Oklahoma has further adj
vantage of the states farther north IN
that it not only raises corn. wheat and
oats successfully. but cotton, which
is greater wealth producer than any
of the others mentioned; and there is
no place on earth that grows a larger
variety of vegetables. As to advan-
tages in the way Of market, the
Irish potato crop will serveas an IL
lustration. II was planted early. har-
vested in June and Skinned north,
where it sells at from ten to fifteen
cents bushel morethan the native

crop. because more mature. II gets
on the market at time when the
prices are up. Two weeks later. the
ground from which the first potato
crop was harvested is again painted
to potatoes, and this second crop, har-
vested late in the fall, is the one that
supplies the Oklahoma market.
Politics Fast Developing.
Politics in this new region is devel-
oping as fast as the crops, the COM
merce and the civilization, and candi-
dates are as thick as flies about the
proverbial molasses barrel. Both re-
publicans and democrats claim to be
in the ascendency, and to have a cinch
not only on the local and state oflic-
es. but on United States senators and
representatives in congress. How
ever. it is plain to everybody that the
party to put up the best men will be
rewarded with success at the polls.
"The citizenship of northern Okla
homa is made up largely from Kan
sas, and naturally that section reflects
the political complexion of the mother
state. Northeastern Indian Territory
is inhabited principally by people
from Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas,

ever, Mr.. Sturm went, and eleven
months ago, got out the first number
of Sturm S Oklahoma Magazine. The
fact that it reflects a high order of
literary merit and that it has expert
enced steady growth, is the best
evidence that there was field For it,
and that the intellectual standard of
the people is far above that of most
newly settled communities. The mag
azine has 100 pages, with forty pages
of display advertising.
Representative Citizenship.
The secret lies in the fact that
most of the representative citizens
of Oklahoma came from the old set
tied states-New York, Massachusetts,
Maine Ohio. Indiana and Illinois, and
they were the best and brightest of
these states. persons with ambition to
get up and leave the home nest and
strike ont for themselves" said Mr..
Sturm today. "When these assembled
for any purpose, to organize soci-
ETY. of formulate a law, they were
able to proceed along the most intel
igent lines, for they had ideas from
a hundred different communities to
select from. Among the pioneers were
men educated at Harvard. Johns Hop
kinS, Vanderbilt and the universities
of the states all over the country.
ave have, of course, our rougn
aud ready citizens, the same as other
communities, but believe our quota
is smaller than in most newly settled
countries.
"Another remarkable fact about
Oklahoma is the preponderance of
Young men. Generally speaking, we
have no old men, all the professions
and most of the mercantile lines be-
ing filled with men between 25 and 40
years of age.
"Visitors to Oklahoma rarely fail
to express surprise at the excellence
of our school and college systems The
government has been working for
number Of years to build up schools
for the Indians. There are now fifteen
or twenty such schools, and the sys-
tenn has been supplemented b ythe eff
forts of private individuals inspired
TO missionary work among the In
dions. The result is that graduates
from TahlcQuah, Chilocco. Tonkawa,
MuSkogee, Norman. Edmond, and the
others will rank with those from the
better institutions of the east, being
able to go directly into professional
and business worlds.
Institutions Are Thorough.
"a good example of the thorough
ness of our institutions is seen in
Robert l.. Owen, of Muskogee, Che
rokee Indian and a graduate of the
law department of the Muskogee
school. He has practiced law with
marked success. Not long ago, he
took claim of s5,000.000 of the Che
rokee nation against the general gov
ernment. and carried il through the
various courts to the United States
supreme court, where he won his case.
His fee was commission, which alone
made him wealth.. This case had
been taken up by number of law
firms. some of them leading firms of
the large cities. but il remained for
the Indian to win where the white
man had failed.
