Statehood: The New Phase.

The Joint Statehood bill is sched-
uled to pass the House this after
noon, and will do so. The crisis in
its House career was passed yester-
day. on the vote for the previous
question on adopting the rule for
consideration of the bill. The sole
question now is whether it is TO pass
the Senate. Ii is conceded that if
there is to be Statehood. it will be
on the two-State basis indicated by
this bill. or not at all.
II is hardly necessary to say that
The Times has been among those
opposed to this plan. 1t has not be
lieved that, in order 10 do manifest
justice TO Oklahoma, IT was neces-
sary to hitch on the dubious propo-
sition of Arizona and New Mexico.
But tine situation has changed with
the assurance that the joint bill is
to pass the House. 1t goes 20 the
Senate with the Endorsement of the
lower body. and il IS a substantial
certainty that if the Senate declines
10 accept It In its present form there
will be no Statehood this Congress,
and probably none for several years.
There's the rub. The House might
have defeated the rule, divided the
question, and considered the different
parts of the proposition on their mer-
its. It did not do so. and the time
has passed for any effective effort
at such consideration. II is pass OF
defeat the bill. and it is up TO the
Senate
In this situation, the bill ought 10
pass. The next Congress is altogeth-
er likely TO bring a very close House
perhaps Democratic. If the latter
no Statehood bill would be agreed
on between House and Senate. Then
the matter would go over until after
a Presidential election; and in the
present tone of political opinion il
is not a far cry to the assumption
that after the next Presidential cleo
ton no one party is likely to have
the absolute control of all branches
of the Government that the Republi-
cans now enjoy And there is good
reason TO believe that if the Repub-
licans, completely controlling all de
partments. fail for ten years to reach
any solution of this problem, a di,
vided Government would do no bet
ter
So there is in sight the serious pos
sibility of a long delay. during which
Oklahoma and Indian Territory viii
be kept out of their rights In thai
condition il seems best TO pass the
pending measure in the Senate. Il
is carefully drawn and thoroughly
considered with reference to the prob
lem Of the southwestern Territories
1t is far better than 1t would be Il
it admitted beth Of them together
and that is the solution that Dem
Ocratic Administration would prob
ably apply
The situation, then, is that II tht
Hamilton bill does not pass now on'
of two worse situations may arise
There may be no Statehood for a de
eade, which would be extremely un
fair; or there may be separate State
hood for the Two doubtful Territories
which would be dangerous. The bes
way out seems TO be TO pass the bill
as it stands.

Today the gossip on the Horse side
was all about the defeat of the insur-
gents on Statehood yesterday. One vet
eran OF May wars OF this kind ex-
plained the defeat as follows;
ITS all very well to talk about go
ing against the leaders and asserting a
mans rightful voice in legislation. and
all that sort OF thing Young members,
particularly. are caught by such a cry.
But there is different story when the
nght warns up. The young insurgents
soften in the backbone and the fight
goes out Of them.
And why is this? Well. you see. it's
pretty hard for a young .membeT 10
hold out against the pressure. The
Speaker. perhaps. comes around and
tells him that he will ruin his career in
the House If ne votes so foolishly. Now
and then the White House gets in a
little work of the same kind What can
4 Young man do?
Then. the moral support IS all with
the leaders and not with the insuF-
gents The result of IL all is that the
insurgents do not insurge as much as
was expected and the leaders win-as
usual -

WAIT FOR HUNGER.
Good Advice From j. Ill. Hill &
Son us to How to Create an
Appetite.

ANY physician will tell you that it
IS unWise to eat unless one is really
hungry. 1t is far better to miss q
meal than TO eat without appetite.
But do not take a tonic, stimulant,
or appetizer to make you hungry.
j. IL. Hill & Son say that the best
way to createan appetite is to restore
he digestion to health by the use of
Mi-o-na stomach tablets, a reliable
remedy that they have sold with the
best of satisfaction.
When Mi-O-na is used, the irrita-
ton and Inflammation of the stomach
coatiug will be soohted, the gastric
fcliicles will be stree gthcned so that
they will pour out the natural diges-
tive fluids with regularity, and the
food you eat will be perfectly digest
ed without distress.
A large box of Mi-0-na stomach
tablets is sold for so cents by J. III.
II I'LL d Son, and it is so successful
and reliable in curing indigestion
and other stomach trou bles, with the
exception cancer of the stomach, that
they sell it under a guarantee tn at
the money will be refunded unless it
does all that is claimed for it.
