The Companion as a Christmas Gift.
Nobody is too young, nobody list
old, to enjoy reading The Youths Com

OF the most appropriate of Christmas
gifts-one Of the few whose actual worth
far out weighs the cost. Welcome as
the paper may be to the casual reader
on the train, at the Office, in the pub
lie library, it is, after all the paper of
the home. The regularity and freQuen-
cy OF It's visits, the cordial sympathy of
its tone, make for it soon the place of
familiar friend in the house. Like
good friend too it stands always for
those traits and qualities which are
typited in the ideal home and are the
sources of a nations health and true
prosperity. Is there another Christ
mas gift costing so little that equals
it?
On receipt of 81 IS, the yearly SUBJ
scription price, the publishers send to

DELEGATION RETURNS
FROM WASHINGTON
In Hopeful Mood Election VIII be
Held and the Constitution
viii Win

Delegate s. W. Hayes, who was
one of the delegates sent to Wash
ington on statehood affairs, returned
home this morning. He confirms re-
ports previously published as to the
work of the delegation and says the
OklahOmans were cordially received
at the White House and by Attorney
General Bonaparte..
Mr.. Hayes is very hopeful on the
statehood situation. "There will pos
sibly be little delay in holding the
election, but it will certainly be held
and the constitution will be adopted" ("
said he. "It is undoubtedly the pol
Icy Of the republican leaders to keep
Oklahoma out of the union un.il af-
ter the presidential election, but /
do not think they will succeed. The
corporations are making desperate
fight on the constitution but Of course
they don't dare to make it in the open;
they make their fight through the re-
publican organization, but we shall
win. The primary election will be
held on June but in all probability
the general election will have to be
postponed"

These letters are certainly deserv-
ing Of great consideration, for such
testimonials are not given unless mer-
tied. They show the strongest sup
porters Mr.. Rutherford has are those
who have known him the longest and
best, which in itself speaks volumes.
Under such conditions as exist in
the new state where the people are un-
acquainted with each other, such tes-
timonials ought to have great weight
in the selection Of 50 important an
officer as United States senator.
After the nominations are made
and we go forth to battle with the
enemy, is when we are going to need
men who know how to organize and
fight effectively our battles. It is
conceded by all that S. NJ Rutherford
in point Of ability is the equal if not
the superior Of any who are aspiring
to this exalted position. Think be-

"The early poverty plea or any
other sympathy dodge stamps the can
didate as very cheap demagogue
at the best" said prominent demo-
crat and he added: Roy Hoffman is
making his campaign for nited States
senator from the Oklahoma side sole
ly on his merits and fitness men
tally, physically, morally and polit-
ically to represent the people of the
new state in legislative body that
makes no allowance for cranks or
clans, and measures a states impor-
tance by the ability Of its represen-
tatives. The state owes nothing to
any man, and our representatives in
both houses Of Congress must pOss-
ess all their faculties and be able to
measure up to the best standards in
eloquence, energy, sincerity and men
tai and bodily vigor, OF the senate
and their constituents will be the To-
sers. A seat in the senate is an op-
portunity to work for the general
good, and not sinecure with which
to reward a man, either for alleged
hardships in youth, or the inability to
support himself in middle age. Such
position should not be looked upon
as a prize to be awarded either to po-
litical mendicants with whom the Of
ficial itch has become chronic, or To
bloated bond holders who seek the
place to serve their special interests
The history of other states ought I'd
serve as a timely warning. It does
not take long in the senate to uncov-
er a demagogue or a corporation tool
and the people Of Oklahoma ought
to be wise enough not send thai
kind Of q man there"
