COMMITTEE
REPORT
SUBMIT FAVORABLE REPORT ON
JOINT STATEHOOD BILL.
Locating Oklahoma Capital at Guthrie
and Arizona Capital at Santa Fe
Until 1915, When People Can
Choose own Location.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 23.-Rep-
resentative Hamilton. chairman Of the
house committee on territories today
submitted a favorable report on the
Hamilton Joint Statehood bill which
provides for the admission of Oklaho-
ma and Indian Territories as the state
of Oklahoma and provides joint state.
hood for New Mexico and Arizona ter
ritories under the name, Arizona
The report explains that the capital
OF Arizona is to be at Santa Fe until
1915, and the capital of Oklahoma at
Guthrie, for the same length of time,
when the people can choose their cap
ital sites, with justice to all parts OF
the states.
The report says:
"Inasmuch as the conferees in.
tended by the organic laws OF the
territory of Oklahoma, that all of the
original Indian Territory. which in.
cludes Oklahoma, together with what
is now Beaver county In Oklahoma

deferred until Indian Territory should

Now that the political parties are
busy organizing for the coming fray
when statehood is accomplished, it is
well to remind the leaders that with
success at the polls will come the re
sponsibility of giving the people of
thenew state clean, wholesome gov
ernment Both the great parties are
confidently expecting TO carry the
first election and are going to give
the new state a sample of hot cam
paign. The party that polls a MAORI
ty of the votes will be the one the
people desire to intrust with the ad-
ministration of government and fail
ure to come up to the standard and
give the people a clean, honest gov
ernment. free from graft and politi-
cal tyranny will mean a change at the
very next succeeding election. In these
days the Independent voter holds the
balance OF power and the strict part Y
man. who always votes a straight
ticket is hardly a factor in the cleo
tion. The people Of the whole country
are loud in their demands for honest
government and are insisting upon it

MY appeal is to every woman who
loves her kind to discourage the Gus

the womanhood CT the nation from

upon the women to elevate the tone

the cause OF morality; 1t is for you
women to say whether drinking shall

daily become less.
THE moral character Of the men
makes the moral character OF the ma.

by elevating the other. The lives Of
men are influenced by the teaching

which they can lead men straight Is

LETTING GO THE PHILIPPINES


While there is no official or author
Hatiye lntimation that President
Roosevelt Is considering a plan TO:
letting go the Philippines, the story
is plausible and is probably not with.
out substantial basis
4 few weeks ago Congressman
George +. Burgess OF Texas introduc-
ed resolution requesting the presi-
delt to consider the expediency OF
effecting a treaty with European pow
ers providing for the naturalization
OF the Philippine Islands and TO
protect an independent government
there when established" The propos.
al has attracted no little attention
and more than one conspicuous repub.
lican senate. has privately expressed
approval. The Washington Post, one
Of the ablest and most conservative
papers Of the country, and usually In
line with President Roosevelt's policy,
said: Mr. Burgess proposition is
ideal. To realize e would he be to undo
a world Of folies and utilities.
to remove the United States
from a sphere OF Improbable danger
and insane adventure"
The story of the presidents plan is
that he Is making General Luke e.
Wright, now governor general of the
Philippines. ambassador TO Japan in
order to pave the way for negotia.
tions with that government, and later
with other great powers, for treaty
which will recognize and guarantee
the autonomy and integrity OF the Phil
ippines upon a grant Of independence
by the United States.
This act, the story goes, IS to be
the last and crowning feat OF Pres
ident .Roosevelts administration.
As we say. II sounds plausible. II
seems that the president has been
studying the Burgess proposal and
Is preparing the way to put i, into
effect. b..
Japan as nearest neighbor to the
Philippines would be the first TO be
enlisted. General Wright governor
general OF the Philippines, familiar
with their conditions and require
ments, is the man to make the ap.
proachment
As the Post says. It is ideal" 1t
is worth a great effort, and President
Roosevelt is just the man to attempt
great achievements.
We hope II is true that he has this
proposition in mind and that he will
bend every effort towards its accom-
plishment. We hope the Philippines
may be free. thar the United States
may be rid OF the improbable dan.
ger and insane adventure" and that
Mr.. Roosevelt may witress the happy
deliverance before the end of his
term. ,..
And we confidently believe that It
is all coming to pass sooner or later,
because II is right and wise. But let
it he understood now and hereafter
that George +, Burgess of Texas ini.
