GRATEFUL FOR STATEHOOD.
Governor Frantz Tells Why Oklaho.
mans Should Give Thanks.

Guthrie, o. T.-Governor Frank
FrantZ ha issued the following proc
lamation setting aside day of
Thanksgiving In Oklahoma:
November 29 has been proclaimed
our national Thanksgiving day. Ac-
cordingly / hereby call upon the
people Of Oklahoma to observe this
annual festival by Offering of thanks
to the Almighty for benefits past and
prayers for continuance of His favor
henceforward. Let the celebration
of this occasion be truly unaffected
and in a spirit of rejoicing.
This state and this nation are in
condition enviable before the eyes
OF other states and other nations
Well may our estate be the envy of
the world. No nation on earth has
known during the last half century
a more favorable and eventful year
than has the United States the year
now closing. We are at peace ut
home and highly respected abroad.
No state in the Union has greater
reason for thanksgiving than has
Oklahoma. Statehood Is at last a
glorious assurance and the favor of
heaven has rested upon our fertile
prairies and continually gone before
our people everywhere. Toll has
its reward in prosperity and content
ment. The standards of civic hon
esty are high and the assurance of
continued good government Is ours.
This assurance and the quality and
degree of our prosperity throughout
the territory call for gratitude un-
confined
The people of the United States
may in part prove the reality OF their
thankfulness and their expectation
of future blessings by full and ap-
propriate observance of this ami
versary. That we as a nation are
grateful for our wellbeing and rev.
erent toward the Great Giver, we
may best attest by high degree of
national honor, national pride, and
quality of national achievement
This we as a state are thankful for
the kindly disposition of our affairs
in government and in our daily
business we may best show by
pledging our heartiest endeavor to
keep the state above reproach and
high in the equality of states and
by keeping this pledge unbroken.
Withal, finally, the return Of this
Thanksgiving day reminds us that
we can best convince the Almighty
Of the sincerity of our gratitude by
putting into the sum of human pro-
gress, as individuals, that which will;
SO far as each of us Is concerned,
send the world farthest on it's way
forward and upward.

FEW INDIANS ARE INSANE
Lack of Mental Worry Is the Cause
Assigned.


Muskogee, I. THE records in
the Office of Indian Inspector j.
George Wright ghow that during
the past three years there have been
but thirty persons sent to the insane
asylum at Yankton, s. d., where the
insane Indians from Indian Territory
are confined There are 10000 In
dians in the territory. The Indian
inspector states that the wild, free
life of the Indians and their lack of
mental worry Is responsible for the
very low rate of insanity among
them. Insane white persons from
Indian Territory are confined at st.
Vincent's hospital in st. Louis, and
that institution has become so over
crowded with patients from the ter
ritory that several times the man
agement has served notice that no
more would be received, and it was
at one time thought new contract
would have to be made with some
other institution. Had it not been
for the imminence of statehood, a
new contract would have been made.

To License Washerwomen.
A member of the Legislature from Brook
Ign has introduced q bill to compel all
laundrymen to pay an annual license OF
so. Another provision is that the laun-
drymen shall deliver to the customer n

This leads a sarcastic member of tho
assembly to remark that too many citl-
zens have been allowed to attend to their
own affairs without the constant superyis-
ion of a benevolent government. He rises
to advocate that not only laundrymen
should be taxed but that every washer
woman should pay a license and that tho
house wives who attend to the laundry
for the family should not be excluded.

success to make New York a noiseless
town, but now that the women have
taken 1t up the fur will fly They pro-
pose to carry their troubles to the board

made public a petition which says:

have rest and quiet at all times each day.
Are there any men who do not know

Objectionable Recommendations.

Restriction of expenses, the limitation
of new business and the prohibition OF
stock and collateral trust bond owner
ship are the three recommendations that
the insurance companies find most OBJ
jectionable. At present the insurance eX-
perts profess to believe that the curtail-
ment of new business is serious mat
ter, but 1t was only two years before his
death that John A Mccall said that the
New York Life could get along without
another dollar of new business. Here
is the way actuaries are figuring 1t out
now:
Under the conditions and restrictions
imposed 1t will not be possible for any
one of the three companies to write more
than $50000,000 of new Insurance year.
The effect of this can be readily under
stood by any one from these figures. In

$129, 125, $50; in the Equitable, $199 3,2l0,
and in the New York Life 1852, 326,114 In
other words we in the Equitable will
have S139, 0O00 900 of business wiped off our
books and replaced with only $50,000,000,
a loss of $S9,00000O. In the New York Life
the loss will be greater, running up to

with business decreasing at this rate
1t can be seen that the companies must
inevitably shrink In size until their to-
tai examinations come down to $4,000, 600.
the amount of the new business possible,
and there they will stand still until they
pass away of dry rot.
Unquestionably under the provision cut
ting down expenses the agents will be
hard hit The insurance men say that
the prohibition of loans allowances and
advances to agents, together with the
limitation of renewal commissions to four
years, will mean that the best agents
and producers of insurance will leave the
business. In fact, it is said that at least
one of the big companies Is considering
the plan of doing away with agencies
altogether and taking only what bust
mes comes to 1t voluntarily or through
advertisements.
1t was expected that the provision re-
quiring the companies to get rid of all
stocks except those of municipal corpora
lions would meet with opposition. 1t will
be hard to comply with this provision and,
incidentally, a source of revenue for the
officers will be cut off.

A Forty-story Building.

New York is really to have a forty
story building. Such structures have been
projected before. but never got beyond
the stage of talk. This time plans have
been filed with the building department
for building that will be forty stores
high. and. of course. the highest in the
city. OF the proposed skyscraper the
Times says:
in New York, when 1t is proposed to
project upward an area of the size Of
the Effel Tower, be the same more or
less, to the altitude of forty stories, say
two-thirds that of the Effel nobody
squawks Indignantly. Everybody begins
to ask, Twill It pay?" This is by no
means the first project for building
of this height that the ambitious New
York architect has projected. But It is
the first that has come before the build
ing department in the form of serious and
responsible plans. Certainly It must be
the first in which an altitude of forty
stories has been projected on so exiguous
a basis as that of sixty-hve feet square.
