Independently and probably under a

they might be able to under statehood
and DO not care to risk a change.
There is substantial unanimity Of
opinion in favor of admitting Indian
Territory ana oklahoma but opinion
differs whether they should come in as
one state or TWO. 1t has been asserted
that every citizen of both territories
is in favor Of single statehood if it can
be secured and that large majority
is in favor Of joint statehood if moth
Ing better can be obtained. The peo-
pie of Indian Territory have adopted,
subject TO ratification by congress. a
state constitution and a complete state
organization. They have chosen the
name of "Sequoyah' for the proposed
new state, thus perperuating the name
and services of the famous Cherokee
chief who invented the Cherokee alpha
bet and did so much to advance the
Indians of his own and other tribes in
education and industry.
In Indian Territory there are a great

wealth per capita is larger in Olilaho-
ma than in New England. While there
are many red men in oklahoma the
proportion of Indians to whites is not
by any means so large as in Indian
Territory itself, and this constitutes
the main reason why the majority of
the residents of Oklahoma ask for its
admission as a state on existing terri
torial lines instead of its future being
linked with that Of the adjoining terri
tory.

Those naughty leanings. on the other hand.

Passage OF h Lodge Resolution Urged In
the Name OF Humanity.

To THE EDITOR or THE SUN-Sir: As a
constant reader Of TIE Sun for many years
l read with no little interest the brief account
Of the mass meeting in Cooper Union on
Tuesday night to urge action by our Govern
ment in favor of the oppressed natives Of the
Congo Free state. President Roosevelt did
his part in the war to free Cuba, and he now
has an opportunity TO render a greater SER
vice to mankind by advocating an investiRa-
ton in cooperation with Great Britain Of the
deplorable conditions in the Congo Free
State. 1t is to be hoped that the resolution
OF Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, will not
be allowed to slumber in the Committee on
Foreign Affairs.
James e.. Whitley. Consul General Of the
Congo Free State. does not help the lobby of
KIM Leopold at Washington by his sighting
remarks upon DR.. II. Grattan Guinne ss Of
London. The whole missionary world knows
and honors that name. and IL still carries
weight in America. The suggestion that DR..
Guinness comes here in the interest OF an
English rubber trust shows the weakness Of
MIR. Whitely's brief. His idea that the Congo
agitation il anti-Roman Catholic is also wide
of the mark.
No harm. but untold good must come from
the passage Of the Lodge resolution In the
Senate. King Leopold has been willing to
spend money to prevent action by the Ameri-
can Con gress. but If he has done nothing
wrong he need not fear investigation by the
Powers whose trustee he has been
since the treaty OF Berlin some twenty years
ago. Missionaries have brought Africa and
the Congo region to the worlds attention.
and their noble and heroic lives have always
been for righteousness We OF American
birth are not ready now to believe, on the
Belgisns, that their motives are either COM
merCial or anti-ROman Catholic
