Fine Breed Of Humanity.

cipation of 1863.
Fine Breed Of Humanity.
Only the full bloGs. and not all OF
them. have protested against the aboli-
ton of the quintet of tiny republics
and the erection of great state. These
full bloods, many of whom live back
in the hills, made a pathetic stand for
the retention of their tribal laws and
relations, but their more numerous
brethren. the part Indians. many or
them only q thirty second part and all
the other parts white, We're in line with
the full whites for state government.
The whites in Indian Territory, who
went in and settled without any par
ticular right to do so. intermarried
with the Indians and produced very
fine breed of humanity, which fur
nisheS men as brainy and maidens as
beautiful as any state in the land.
The white man who sits across from
you at the hotel table in Muskogee OF
the daintily gowned white damSei
whom you may view with rapturous
gaze from afar off is just as likely to
be an Indian as not. Anybody who
harbors the notion that the Indian OF
wild west fiction exists in Indian Ter
ritory needs to revise his notions.
But, strange to say, such an Indian
does exist in the Oklahoma territory
part of the new state. These are Co,
manches, Kiowas. Apaches and others
on reservations. still wearing the gaudy
blankets and in some cases the head
feathers of the traditional redSkin.
1t is popular with some newspaper
writer's to say that Robert Lee Over
of Muskogee. one of the men whom
the Democratic primaries have nomi
mated for the United States senate, i:
an Indian. AS matter of fact, Mr.
Owen was born and educated in thu
state of Virginia. He is one-eightl

Set His Heart on the Senate.

Young Gore knew that Oklahoma
would soon become a state. The sen
ate doomed before him. though he was
unable physically to see his way there.
He set his heart on the senate and
watched his chances. Going first 10
the territorial senate, he made a rep
utation throughout Oklahoma as an
eloquent orator and a keen debater.
Having acquired nearly al! his knowl-
edge of books from hearing them read
to him, his memory was trained to
prodigious accuracy. His young wife
read to him every day. and Mr.. Gore
became intimately acquainted with
the records of all prominent Oklaho-
mans. with the resources and the pos
sibiiities of the state and with national
affairs in general. He ran for the
ic primaries against two wealthy men,
mortgaging his home for funds to pay
his travelling expenses so that he could
stump the whole state. He won. AS
Oklahoma is overwheimIngly Demo-
cratic. Mr. Gore will be elected to the
United States senate by the first ses-
sion. of the state legislature at the ear
ly age of thirty the first blind
man to occupy seat in that august
body.
Despite her somewhat top heavy con-
stitution, Oklahoma will be all right,
thank you. She has schoolhousc on
every hilltop and a church in every
valley, with never saloon at the forks
of the road Or elsewhere. She has
school lands donated by the national
government aggregating in value $780,
100000, with a present annual income
from these lands of 100000. She is q
land of corn and cotton and meadow
grass, of Elberta peaches and Indian
maidens. both of which lure the white
mans kiss of wooing. Just now she
is undoubtedly the proudest of all our
commemorative. In view of what she
has achieved In her eighteen years
from the sod house and the jack cab-
BIT let nobody call her vain miss.

Great Progress Mace.

When we consider the fact that Ok
lahoma was first opened to settlement
only eighteen years ago and then but
q small section of the present area, the
others following years afterward, one
is tempted to EXPLANATIONS of wonder
at the progress made. Oklahoma City.
the metropolis of the new state, has
about 10000 people. 1t has forty miles
of asphalt street paving. 1t has build
ings almost of skyscraper height. with
elevators and all other modern acces-
series. Guthrie, the territorial capital
and designated by the federal enabling
act as the state capital until 1914, is
not far behind Oklahoma City in popu-
lation. In the Indian Territory side
are several cities of like class, includ-
ing South McAlester, MuskoGee and
Tulsa. Muskogee, which had $500 peo-
pie in 1900, now has a population OF
%, 1000.
For many young men Oklahoma
spells opportunity. The case of Thorn
as Z. Gore, who is to be one of the
first pair of United States senators
from the new state, is typical of Ok
lahoma. Mr.. Gore has been totally
blind since he was a boy of eleven
years in his native state of Mississippi.
This physical handicap did not pre-
vent him from going through the reg
ular public schools and the law de-
partment of Cumberland university at
Nashville, Tenn. He went to the new
town of Lawton when the Comanche
country was opened to settlement in
1901. settling there for the practice of
law

constitution a better document than
the federal constitution, while other
noted men have expressed opinions pro
and con, serious and facetious.
One we'll known journalist and au-
thor, a student of sociological matters,
has declared that under the Oklahoma
constitution the world will have for the
first time an opportunity to observe the
operation of local government which
is almost a pure democracy. This
statement is based largely upon the
initiative and referendum section OF
the constitution. Under this provision
all the people, practically speaking.
may have a hand in legislation. Eight
per cent of the voters may propose any
measure for legislation, and 10 per
cent may propose an amendment to
the constitution. Thus brought before
the people, all such measures are to be
voted upon by the entire voting popu-
lation.
The constitution provides that the
initiative and referendum feature shall
apply to municipal governments as
well as to state government. Thus Ok
lahoma has popular government boiled
down to fine point. In no country or
commonwealth has the initiative and
referendum theory of legislation ever
been applied in such intimate and
practical fashion as in Oklahoma, and
never has it been clinched and cinched
in state constitution right at the out.
set, as in this instance.
Prohibition With a Clean Sweep.
Oklahoma also takes the lead of all
our commonwealth by prohibiting in
her constitution the manufacture or
sale of intoxicating liquors. That is
prohibition with a clean sweep. The
federal government in its act enabling
Oklahoma territory and Indian Terri
tory to prepare for admission to the
Union as one state required that pro-
hibftion prevail in the Indian Terri
tory section for twenty one years. Now
the entire state, both of the old terri
tories combined. has voted prohibition
into its organic law by majority of
10000. thus going Uncle Sam more

GIVEN FREEDOM
NINE PRISONERS RELEASED
FROM PENITENTIARY.
Absence of Judge Ten Eyck Until Today
Held the Men Several Days
Overtime.

Judge Jay Ten Eyck. who Is spending
his vacation in a nearby resort, dropped
into the Court House today and signed the
necessary papers releasing nine prisoners
from the penitentlary at Caldwell, who
had been ordered discharged by the com.
mittee Of the Board of ~Freeholders having
such matters in charge.
This committee had a meeting last
Thursday, looked over the cases Of the
nine and decided that their services, such
as they were, were no longer required by
the county.
AS the rules prescribe that the dis
charges must be first sanctioned by the
court before the prisoners are actually
freed. the absence of the court somewhat
delayed proceedings in these particular
cases. The judge had expected to be Oh
the bench during the latter part Of last
week and during the early part Of this
week, but unforeseen circumstances pre-
vented his appearance.
nine were all short-term men and at
the time the Fr~eeholders decided that they
are and Of right ought to be free and indie
pendent athe costs imposed upon them
were RENTED.
The rule is that during the temporary
absence Of the regular judge, in order that
prisoners need not he detained unnecessa-
rily, the necessary papers may be signed
by some other duly qualified judge. The
papers in these cases were just about tc
be sent to Judge Ten Eyck when he an
nounced his intention to take a short dir
into accumulated work. Hence the delay.
