Oklahoma Statehood.

Congress has given to the Territory
of Oklahoma and Indian Territory the
right to form state, and Constitu-
tion has been framed and is subject to
ratification by the people and the ap-
proval OF the president. The consti-
tuition as submitted contains many
clauses offensive to the races and cal
culated to produce strife, we appeal
to the president that he place his dis
approval on said constitution. One of
the nest offensive clauses Is that
which enables white man to marry
an Indian and rob her OF her land.
We recommend that copy Of this

Accompanying this increase in price has been lowering

sources as today in the United Staes-all accessible
portions more cued in poor coppce burnt over

fined to distant inaccessible locations Sporadic attempts
existed here there protection regulation OF the CUT
at numbering and still sporadic attempts
at reforestaon. Yet until the beginning OF the
nineteenth century reduction of supplies without adequate
reproduction proceeded and around the 1900 the WOOD
famine had become giving rise to the kind OF
agitation and literature which have experienced even TO
bringing in the catapa other such small rapid growers
as the savors of the nation
