Oriqjn of Oklahoma.

Most of us think of Oklahoma as
Young territory and of the movement
which has resuHsd in its admission to
statehood as dating back only half
dozen years or less. The Kansas City
Journal points out, however. that the
first movement to form the territory
of Oklahoma was started q years be-
fore it was finally accomplished.
Colonel Robert T. Van Horn. the vet
eran former editor of the Kansas City
Journal. introduced a bill to create the
territory of Oklahoma in the 39th Con-
gress. of which he was member from
the Kansas City district. The bill
covered q page of the Kansas City
.Jo,,rnaI. and provided for every phase
of the questions concerning territorial
conditions and government, but it was
too far ahead of the times, and only
two votes were recorded in it's favor.
Colonel Van Horn reintroduced the bill
in the 10th and 41st Congresses. where
it met the same fate. This was in 1858.
and the bill which finally passed Con-
gress creating the territory of Okla
homa was not introduced until Decem-
Der. 1885. This latter bill was pre-
pared by the Hon. Sidney Clark, now
of Oklahoma, who was chairman of the
committee on Indian affairs in the seth
Congress, of which Colonel Van Horn
was also a member when he introduced
his bill.
by Colonel Elias c. Boudinot. half
breed Cherokee, an able lawyer and ac-
complished gentleman, who was said to
be a grandson of the famous Elias
Boudnot of New Jersey, who was
called 1.-The Indians friend When
Colonel Van Horn, Indian Agent Perry
Fuller and Alexander Mcdonald of
Fort Smith, Ark, afterwards senator
from that state, were discussing the
proposed bill in Van Horns room at
Washington, Colonel Boudinot was
called in to suggest an appropriate In
dian name for the new territory. and
he gave the name Oklahoma, meaning
Red Mans Country" or "Red Mans
Land" Oklahoma is a Creek word.
and not Choctaw. as has been asserted
recently by a territorial etymoloSist.
And so Colonel Van Horn is really the
father of Oklahoma. Our Kansas City
contemporary declares that no man
was ever prouder of his offspring. for
the editor-statesman has always been
an enthusiastic advocate of the admis-
sion of Oklahoma, the grand possible
ties of which he foreSaw and depicted
long in advance of others ken.

The suggestion comes from Wash
inston that Commander Peary now in
the far North may soon become Rear
Admiral Pnary and host of friends of
the dauntless explorer hope that he
may have this promotion to welcome
him when he returns from his quest of
the Pole. He has been a naval officer
since 1879. having previously practiccd
the profession of civil engineer two
years at Fryeburg. Maine. after his
gradual ton from Bowdoin in 1871.
For several years he was with the
coast survey and was there in 1SS4-5
and again in 1878. in charge of the
Nicaragua canal surveys. Most of his
time since then has been spent in
voyages of exploration and while this
Is not what we commonly regard as
naval work 1t is nevertheless a work of

And the concluding clause of the
platform is something for Maine vot-
crs to ponder over: I'VE declare the
summary of all the issues in this cam
paign is the question. Shall the State
of Maine be honest? '"-Portland
Argus.
And the more the voters Of Maine
ponder over that concluding clause of
the Democratic platform the more puz-
zled they will be to discover how the
Democratic leaders thought that the
asking or answering of such question
would help them in their campaign.
Once in the past half century the
Democracy got control of State affairs
in Maine and the brand Of honesty
they exhibited on that occasion has by
no means been forgotten. Anybody
Who believes there is anything honest
In nemocratic policies or Democratic
promises at this time is very easily de-
ceived. II.

Canoeing is again becoming popular
with Bangor people. The last rev
warm nights have brought the canoe
lists ardor to the surface and number
OF the graceful craft have peen seen OH
the river every night. Ihe river ABOVE
the toll bridge is the most popular
place for canoeing for those VINO hire
their canoes at McNally's livery at the
Terry slip. Above the bridge lhe wafer
is almost always smooth ana at night
there is seldom breeze on the river. VI
course most of the canoeing IS done by
the members of the Conduskeag Canoe
and Country Club who go out from
their club boathousc at Hampden and
canoe on the river below The Narrows.
If the next new moon brings warm
days and nights with it the canoeing
craze will be at its height.
At Stonington, the "Granite Town"
of Hancock county there are 500 Ital-
ians employed on the differen quarries.
They treasure every dollar earned. Re-
Gently the amount earned by this col
ony was figured, and it was found that
out of it. they had sent to their home
country and people the sum OF $24,OOO.
1t seems a large amount but 1t is given
on the best of authority. The inhabi-
tantS of the far-off country. who are in
StOnington speak very freely of what
use they mean to make of their money
and in many instances their chief am
bition is to buy or build house, and
own several acres of land,

Rewarding the Professors.

Considering the service they render
the world, the sacrifices they make. the
time and money spent in preparing
them for their profession and the ex-
tremely wearing nature Of their work,
teachers are VIGOROUSLY i'll paid. This
is true of most college professors as
well as Of those in schools of lower
grade, but thanks to the pension sys-
tenn established by Andrew Carnegie
the old college professors can now face
their declining years with more cheer
fulness than formerly. His gift of
$40, 900. 900. whose income is to be given
under certain conditions in the form
of an annual pension or allowance to
college teachers of long service. is now
operative and the first list of so recip
tents is made public. The allowances
average about s14O0 yearly and once
awarded they go on until death.
The list is a roll of honor. The men
upon i. are not to be measured by the
standard Of dollars. but being provided
for against want they ask no odds of
the worried millioEaires of these
troubled times. In almost every one
Of the 50 cases the men to be provided
for are well on past the 10th milestone
and have records of continuous service
| in the classroom ranging from % to 80
years The youngest beneficiary is
Professor John Krom Recs Of Columbia
University, but recently turned 80.
while the oldest is Professor VIM. a.
Packard of Princeton. now in his 18th
year. Prof Packard is a member of a
famous Maine family. He was born
| in Brunswick in 1890 and graduated
| from Eowdoin in 1851. He has been at
Princeton over half a century as teach
err of Latin. He is son of the be-
loved Prof. Packard who was on the
| Bowdoin faculty for S. years. and a
brother of Prof. A. S. Packard, Bow
| dom. 81. who died last year after &c
years service at Brown.

The Main and Cummins shows. which
are touring Maine, leave behind in each
city a cheerful tale Of planning to make
their winter headquarters in this
State in the future with a leaning
toward that particular city. a few
hundred Indians. cowboys, cowgirlS.
snake charmers and elephant trainers
along with the horses and menagerie
itself would make winter life less
monotonous in any of our Maine cities.
A new Boston clubhouse, to house
the state Of Maine Club. the New
Hampshire Association and the Yer
mont Association, is suggested by
members of these organizations. Com
mittees have been appointed to conSid-
er the matter. The latter organization
has permanent quarters at the West
minister. the New Hampshire Associa-
ton has a clubhouse on Chestnut street
and the state of Maine Club is domi-
ciled in Ashburton Place. During the
summer the attenday ce is comparative
" small, While in the winter it is 50
heavy that it is difficult to provide ac-
| Communications without great expense
It has been suggested, therefore, that
| all three organizations erect new
building of six stories one or two OF
| the lower floors being used for stores
| or offices, each association having a
| floor to itself and the TOP floor to be q
large dining-room to be shared by al
three clubs, except when especially as.
signed to one, for some particular pur.
pose. The idea seems to have beer
| well received and it is believed that tn.
financial problem could easily b.
solved.
