Monday morning.
1t was typical case. During she
entire hearing there was war of

part, leaving the justice only now and
then an opportunity to get word in.

Of knowledge of Russian, Polish and

Slavs.
The interpreter got along very nice

New State Admitted.

On Saturday the historic Indian ter
ritory ceased to exist. 1t became a
part of the new State of Oklahoma,
which enters the union, thus adding
the forty-sixth star to the constella-
tion on the American flag, The new
star will not become part of the flag,
offic tally, however, until the Fourth
of July. But as the people will begin
to enjoy the privileges of statehood at
onca they will not mind waiting for
representation on the flag.
Oklahoma is the most prosperous
territory ever admitted to the union.
She comes in with population en-
titling her to five members of con-
gress and with every evidence that she
is destined to continued and increas
ing prosperity Her soil is rich and
very productive. her natural resources
are varied and of inestimable value,
her people wideawake and progress
sive. her institutions modelled upon
the most progressive ideas of these
very modern times. Her constitution
is the most remarkable document of
that sort on earth.
Politically the new State is Demo-
cratic. The constitutional convention
contained but handful of Republi-
cans. The election of State officers
resulted in Democratic triumph. The
new legislature is largely De mocratic
and it follows that both United States
senators will be Democrats. They have
already been chosen by popular vote,
but the legislature will have to ratify
the popular verdict by formal cleo
tion. Four out of the five representa-
tives are Democrats.
The whole country extends gener-
Gus and cordial welcome to the new
and well born State of Oklahoma.
There is every reason to believe that it
is typical American Commonwealth
and that it will add honor and renown
to this splendid union of imperial
States

ESCAPED Fine
BUT PAID COSTS

Had the articles that appeared in
this paper from time TO time relative
to the penalty for shooting in the bor-
ough been properly hreded two hoys
might nave been spar ed the huni ia
tion of arrest Tuesday and the result
ant expenditure of money in the form
of costs.
The shooting with dobert rifles, air
guns and the like is Nuisance, which
it seems, is restricted to no part of the
borough. Few people, however. suffer
quite so much as Benjamin Simmons,
whose property is situated along the
river at the foot of Iron street. There
is lots of shooting in that locality and
the amateur marksmen all seem TO
point their guns toward Mr.. Sim
mons house.
Within few days past one of the
bullets lodged in the window frame
of Mr.. Simmons residence, while an
other one struck an outbuilding, pass,
ing through the boards and lodging in
wash tab. Under the circumstances
Mr.. Simmons thought it was about
time to adopt drastic measures and he
proceeded to make arrests.
He lodged information before Justice
Oglesby, on the strength of which
warrants were sworn out charging
Frank Ashton and Sherman Bell with
shooting in the borough. Both boys
pleaded guilty, after which Mr.. Sim
mons generously Withdrew the charge,
deeming that the boys would be suffi-
oiently punished-for the first offense-
if obliged to pay the costs.
The prosecution was brought under
the act of April 15. 1903, which i'm
poses penalty of five dollars for dis
charging fobert rifles, air guns, etc. E,
within the limits of borough.
Whether the arrest of the two boys
will serve as warning to others who
are in the habit of discnarging fiobert
rifles and the like in the borough re.
mains to be seen. Unless the practice
discontinues other arrests will surely
follow and, it would be presuming al.
together too much to suppose that
those arrested later on will be let of
quite as easily as the two boys haled
before the justice of the peace Tues.
day.

Prom the President.

President Roosevelt S letter explain
ing why the inscription In God we
Trust is not borne on the gold piece
now being coined leave little to be
said in favor OF the custom which has
prevailed hitherto. Naturally when the
innovation first came to public notice
there were those who saw in it sign
ificant departure from established us
age. Some, it appears, feared that the
change implied a deliberate purpose
to read the Supreme Power out of all
consideration in connection with ev-
eryday business These are they who
would disregard the presidents gener-
al character as Christian believer
and ignore the record of his life as
churchmau and communicate, and, be-
cause of one act the meaning of which
they did not understand, would sus-
pect him of impiety or worse.
1t is with some pains and with great
care, therefore. that the president has
gone into the subject. He makes it
plain that the familiar words are to
be omitted-unless restored by act of
congress-for the express purpose OF
averting their fiippant and improper
use in the mouths and the writings OF
men. OF the dignity and Legitimate
function of the inscriptions in connec-
tion with certain phases of govern
ment he has full appreciation. Thus
he would have the motto on national
monuments, court houses, legislative
halls and at the naval and military
academies, in all places where its use
would inspire a proper conception Of
its meaning, rather than on coins.
currency or stamps, where too often
its presence is recognized in spirit
of levity. Instances of this are COM
mon, and they are not confined merely
to campaigns in which the money
question is an issue, but may be noted
in greater or less degree at almost any
time. The president has acted solely
to remove the excuse for this levity
touching what was originally intend
ed to exalt God and install reverence,
and the occasion has enabled him to
preach sensible and well-considered
sermon on the subject-one that will
appeal forcibly to the thoughtful and
sensible among his fellow country
men.
