With the coming of statehood the
ambitious politicians Of the Indian
Territory will begin to plume them
selves for the affray. Holding Office Is
easy, but 1t is hard to get The terri.
tory is full of men OF ability and hope
and there will be the hardest scramble
that you ever heard tell Of" The
Democrats long out Of office and Gag
er again TO get to the pie counter will
be as active and idustrious as bees.
Good Republicans who have not had
the honor of serving Uncle Sam will
want something. Many will think they
are called, but few will be chosen.
Happy will be the man who does not
seek Office but courts retirement. In
any event it will be a good thing for
the newspapers. SO we say God speed
the day.

bored as closely as possible 10 Inc
school lands, from which the supplv
Of oil Is being drawn and exhausted.
Delegate Mcclure has introduced .
bill into congress permitting the
school land commission TO lease these
lands on royalty to producers n Gil
and natural gas.
Governor Frant1 hopes thlt Secrc.
tary Hitchcock may consen. 20 The
leasing of the lands as quickly as
possible, upon condition that the roy.
atty revenue be deposited in n sep
arate fund to be held intact until Ok.
lahoma becomes a state or until con.
gress has enacted a law authorizing
the school land commission to exc
cute royalty leases. II congress should
decline to allow the royalties to be
turned to the credit OF the school land
fund, the money could be placed
wherever congress may designate.
The plan would have the great ad-
vantage Of saving the oil on these
lands from being drained into the
wells of producers on adjacent lands.
These producers already have taken
thousands or barrels or oil to watch
they are not rightfully entitled.
Should Secretary Hitchcock c-~~ove
the suggestions of Governor FIuntz,
1t is probable that the lands at Cleve-
land and other places where oil and
gas may be founi would be divided
into small leases and awarded to
those prospectors who would pay the
highest bonus, in addition to a one
eighth royalty for operating the
lease. This plan was followed in the
leasing of the school lands for agrlcul-
tural and grazing purposes in The

Mexican Spiritist Congress.

Mexico City, Mex, March 3l.-Un-
der the name Of National Spiritist
Congress a notable convention of
spiritualists, occultists, theosophists,
and persons interested in psychic re-
search met here today. This day had
been selected for the opening Of the
conference, because it is the annivers-
ary Of the death Of Allan Kardec,
the famous European spiritualist.
Nearly one thousand delegates, rep
senting mostly groups already prac-
ticing or Investigating spiritualism,
are in attendance. Besides these DEL
egates Of spiritualistic and theoso-
phistic groups there are many indi-
vidual believers and investigators
from all parts of Mexico, Central and
South America, with few from the
United States and several European
countries. There are more than 1885,
600 Spiritualists in Mexico alone.
The object Of the Congress is as
follows: Bringing about uniformity
Of experiments; studying doubtful
points in the spiritist philosophy in
order to arrive at common interpre-
tation thereof; the procuring by all
possible means of a propaganda of
this philosophy; bringing about a
solidarity of the spiritualistic and

ment; forming centers for the scien-
tifc study Of spiritualistic phenomena
and marking and eliminating the er-
rors which have impeded the prog
ress Of spiritualism in Mexico.

THE RURAL ROUTES
MAY Be CUT OFF
THAT INFORMATION IS NOW
BEING CONFIRMED.
The South Disadvantage Large
Negro Population Decreases the
Amount of Mail Handled on
Some Routes.

The Washington correspondent Of
the State writes his paper from
Washington in regard to rural routes
under recent date that it is probable
some of them may be cut off. 1t be-
hooves the people in the country to
patronize them. In regard to this
matter the States correspondent
says:
Some Of the officials Of the post
office department some time ago were
somewhat nettled at the reports pub
lished in this correspondence that
they intended to discontinue rura:
free delivery routes which did not
handle as much as 1900 pieces Of
mail month. They we're nettled es-
pecially because in that same letter
I called attention to the fact that the
operations of this rule would affect
routes principally in the south, where
the number Of negroes on the routes
who do not use mails very much
caused the average number Of mail
pieces to be so low The number OF
pieces handled on the routes in South
Carolina. according to the figures of
the department, averaged 2,4OO pieces
a month. In North Carolina the av-
crage is only 1000. So stirred up
about this report were the officials
that they issued special statement
to the papers Of North Carolina,
where portions Of the story were cop
led. with a view Of modifying the i'm
preston.
Representative Finley, who is a
member Of the house committee on
postoffices and postroads, has just re-
ceived a letter from Mr.. DeGraw,
fourth assistant postmaster general,
confirming that report. He gives a
specific instance Of the cutting off Of
routes or the disposition to do it.
"You will OBSERVE" says the letter,
after giving the number Of mail pieces
handled on routes in York County,
s'that the amount of mail handled on
these routes is far below the average
per route, $500 per month, and below
the minimum which it is thought a
route should handle per month, 1000
pieces.'
The letter notifies Mr.. Finley that
two more routes in Cherokee county
will be established, completing the
county system Of that county. Mr..
DeGraw says concerning Cherokee
county that the records show that
during the quarter ending December
81, 1905, as compared with that end
ing June 80, 1905, there has been
material increase in the amount Of
mail handled on the rural routes OF
Cherokee. It was in view Of this i'm
proved condition that the two new
routes were established and the coun-
ty system perfected.
Inspections have been ordered of
the routes in York county and the
number of pieces Of mail will be
counted. The department states to
Mr.. Finley that the object Of this is
to "ascertain the cause for the ad-
verse conditions on these routes, and,
if possible, increasing their patron
age" Pending reports from these
routes the department will hold up
other applications for other routes in
York county.
Moral: The country people Of York
and people everywhere on rural free
delivery routes had best get busy and
take newspapers and write letters to
folks or send out their bills through
the mails.
