In its course through the day the
sun will have lighted the pathway OF "A
million and Il half people emerging from
the disorder ANA the discomfort OF bu-
reauCratIC government, restricted to the
point of helplcssness and neglected to
the limit Of oppression, into Il condition
of liberty in self governments; we are
not assembled here to worship the public
officer who conceded us our rights, par
tiCularly when We reflect that long ago,
from every standpoint OF population,
wealth and Intelligence of this era OkIa-
homu was entitled to all the blessings
and privileges Of statehood, and now to
thank the public officers in over gracious
terms who have finally performed long
and unjustly deferred duty would be in
the nature of hugging the feet of Il diia-
tory debtor who finally pays his just IN
debtcdncsS.'
