New York and pursue a long contem-
plated course in voice culture.
Miss Gillette's career in Babes in
Toyland is well known here. She start
ed the first Of last season in a minor
chorus part, but soon her beautiful
voice, which is a lyric soprano of wide
range, coupled with a very attractive
personality, brought her into the spot
light, and advancement was rapid.
Babes in Toyland finished the sea-
son, or, rather, was finished, at San
Francisco, by the great earthquake.
Miss Gillette, along with the rest Of
the company, lost all of her clothing
and personal belongings. She was
glad indeed To- escape with her life.

EDUCATION IN

In the appliances and accompaniments OF edncatloh
the new star of Oklahoma will be well equipped Thu
Oklahoma Territory end of the coming state has $50 news
papers and periodicals, ~twenty-six OF them being da'D
papers, and 3OS weeklies, the rest being semi-weeklies
semi-monthlys and m%onthlys. In the Indian Territory
section of the state, there are 3l2 papers and periodicals.
sixteen Of them being daiies, l9l weeklies, and the re-
mainder ~monthlys and semi-monthlys.
This shows a high grade of intelligence among the
people of the coming state. The person who would be
allowed to make the newspapers of a country need not
care who would make its laws. The twin territories are
well equipped with newspapers, and these are OF a high
average. On the day Of the "run," April ~, 1859
which placed Oklahoma on the map, one or two news
papers were started in that region. Some OF its papers
are widely quoted throughout the country, Nearly every
town in the territory has a paper. Apparently almost
all of them are well supported. The same is true OF the
Indian Territory. The number Of newspapers in the east
end of the coming state is not quite so large as it is IN
tho western section, The peculiar conditions under which
the acaisition Of land has been impeded in Indian Terri
tory has hampered the locality in most of its activities,
but these disabilities will be removed under statehood
4 Nevertheless, the 100000 people in Indian Territory
in 1906 have as many newspapers as did the 100000 IN
habitants of the United States had in 1900. Jefferson
said: 'Were il left for me to decide wherther we should
have a government without newspapers, or newspapers
without government, | should not hesitate a moment to
prefer the latter" In dian Territory, which was not put
on the map until a third of a century later, has as many
newspapers today as all of Jefferson's fellow coun-
trymen had in the year of his 6rsteleetion. The state OF
Oklahoma, when it enters a few months hence, will have
more newspapers than were in the whole of the United
States, with its 100000 Of population, at the height OF
Monroe's era of good feeling in s2O.-Globe-Democra

THIRD CONGRESSIONAL PRESS ASSOCIATION

Tulsa added another star to her lustrous aggregation
by the manner in which her people received and enter
tanned a convention of the Third Congressional district,
which met at that place and formed a congressional press
association Monday.
The new state of Oklahoma is logically a republican
state, and this, the first organization of the kind formed
will be one of the most effective movements to establish
it as such. The very fact that the republican party
gave us statehood while being assailed with democratic
a~ntagonism on every side, shows plainly the spirit of right
and justice to all men without reference to party afhia-
ton, which is, always has been aud always will be, the
watchword of republicanism. The very confidence in
the supremacy of right over all opposition gives the great
republican party self.confdence that has never been
misplaced.
The Third Congressional press association will prove
one of the most powerful factors Of political education
and, after all, it's easy, for the principles of the party
they represent are so ~manifestly in the interests of every
American citizen that they are not hard to educate

WHY

The democrats cry that rate legislation is a demo
cratic policy-that the republicans have no right to It,
"where." they ask. sis there cause for claiming that
rate legislations is a republican policy merely because
the republican congress has passed all the rate iblls that
have been passed." The answer would seem to be con
tanned in the question itself-but democrats are some
times obtuse. 1t might be remarked also, that the dem.
ocrats, under the administration of one G. Cleveland, had
the opportunity to pass a rate bill. Why didn't the,
