Oklahoma and the Negro.

Some of those who expressed sur
went Democratic had neglected 10 look
up oklahoma on the map. Its northern
boundary is as far south as the south
ern line of Missouri. Kentucky and Vir-
ginia and the larger part of its white
population was drawn from the South
and Southwest. This accounts for the
fact that the young state made
the mistake of going Democratic
and also makes it plain why
it is confidently predicted that
Oklahomas legislature will at once
enact an up-to-date Jim Crow and dis
ton. The constitution of the new
state would have contained these
features had not the Oklahoma cOnsti-
tuition makers feared that President
Roosevelt would have seized upon them
as a prcteXt for refusing to admit the
territory into the Union.
The legislation referred to will be
along the lines of the familiar southern
laws which refuse negroes the right of
suffrage by one device or another and
also require that they shall not ride in
the same railroad cars as white people.
In speaking of Oklahoma attitude on
this subject the Springfield Republican
remarks that the curious distinction
Okla homa makes between negroes and
Indians will now appear in q glazing
form. One OF the new Oklahoma
United States senators. Mr.. Owen, is an
Indian to a large degree. Whether this
prominence of the Indians in Oklahoma
politics is due to their political import
ance and their landed wealth in the
old Indian territory. or whether the
whites consider Indian blood but a few
removed from savagery far
preferable in a social sense to negro
blood is not easy to determine. The
race question in this new state, at any
rate. seems to enter upon Il new and
phase"

who know about the matter are con-
siderably worked up over it and say
they think the services Of the Portland
