Coming Into Uncle Sans Family.
July 4, 1907, if all goes we'll, the for
ty-sixth star may be added to the flag
Of our Union, for by that time, and
possibly little earlier, the president
will have proclaimed Oklahoma a state.
It is best to go slow in organizing a
new state out of territories which have
enjoyed a certain degree of political
Independence
The first step for the formation Of a
state out Of the territories of Oklahoma
and the Indian Territory is the appor-
tionment into election districts When
the app0rtiOnment is done the proper
officials must order an election of dele
gates to convention, which will adopt
the United States constitution and also
prepare state constitution, to be sub
mitted to the people for ratification or
rejection. State officers will he elect
ed at the same time with the vote on
the state constitution. The state con-
stitution must conform to the United
States constitution and in the case of
Oklahoma must also contain certain
special provisions called for by the en-
abling act. When the election can
vassers have certified the results, the
president, if the law has been complied
with, will proclaim the election, ''and
thereuDOn the nrOnOsed state If Okla
homa shall be deemed admitted to the
Union on an equal footing with the
original states.''
The citizens of the new state will be
found to need little schooling in po-
1itical affairs. The whites, as a rule,
were originally citizens of organized
states, accustomed to political duties.
Many Of the Indian tribal leaders are
men OF ability and will doubtless rise
to Importance in the state councils.

LincOln's Mule seTrain.''

Things are changed Of course since
1862, and it is not to be expected that
the presidents of the United States
shall now get around the country as
did Lincoln on one of the most i'm
portant of his official journeys The
preliminary proclamation of enamel
patton was issued Sept. %, 1862, just
three days after the close of the battle
of Antietam and one day after Lin
coins memorable visit to the battle
field to see how the work had been
done. The president had vowed some
weeks previously that as soon as the
army gained some substantial advan-
tage he would issue the proclamation.
The battle of Antietam ended with the
retreat of Lees army from Maryland
back to Virginia on the 10Th of Sep
TENDER. On the 21st Lincoln appeared
on the field, having Travelled from the
railway station, some miles distant, in
an old farm carriage drawn by pair
of mules.
This little journey Of the president
was one of his own appointing and not
done to please the people of the region
visited, but nevertheless lots of the
farmer folk of all ages and conditions
dug themselves out of their cellars and
caves when the news went round that
"Old Abe" was in McClellan's camp.
The men and women shook the presi-
dents hands and brought their chill
dren and babes to get a look at him.
Then he turned to the army and the
business in hand, getting points for
the act which will live as long as his
tory. The trip had been taken on i'm
pulse when news of Lees retreat from
Maryland reached the White House by
wire. The single railway running out
of Washington was clogged with mill
tary trains, and one of these Lincoln
boarded. When he reached the point
Of debarkation the only conveyance to
be found was a rickety farmers car
rage to which was hitched a pair of
mules taken from the army baggage
train. A truly simple outfit for a
mighty occasion.
