DEMOCRATIC STATEHOOD PAYS
McAlester Capital: The benefits of statehood particular-
ly single statehood and fery particularly democratic state-
hood are just beginning to become manifest to the people
day mention was made that the railroads have reduced
of Oklahoma in a substantial manner. In the Capital Mon-
. their rates on coal and grain in accordance with the recent
ruliugs of the corporation commission. The result of this
; reduction will mean a saving of thousands of dollars an-
nually to the producers and consumers in Oklahoma.
Also under the reciprocal demurage rule published by the
commission the railroads will hereafter be compelled to
furnish cars with reasonable promptness or pay a penalty
for not doing it. Heretofore coal mines throughout this
section of the country have been forced to remain idle
two-thirds of the time during the winter season and many
thousands of bushels of corn have remained stacked on
the ground at many stations throughout the western part
of the state because of the shippers' Inability to obtain
an empty car In which to load the season's crop.
Had Indian Territory and Oklahoma come into the Union
na two states wo would have had two corporation com-
missions and neither would have had authority to give
the producers of grain reasonable rates to points In the'
Indian Territory half of the state and the producers of
coal reasonable rates on coal from the Indian Territory
half of the state to the consumers in the western part of
the state.
The opposition press has had considerable to say of late
in regard to increase in taxes. It cannot be denied that
it costs money to create a new state government from
township and county organization up to governor and su-
preme court; but while considering (he comparatively
email amount of Increase in taxes the citizens of the state
must not neglect to take into consideration the thousands
of dollars that will be saved them as a result of the wise
and long needed reforms in behalf of the people that have
been instituted by the present administration.

The efforts of a few republicans to make medicine out
of the fact that no general election of city officers will be
held this year will not amount to much. The truth is
that the law recently passed by the legislature simply car-
ries out the provisions of the Oklahoma statutes whereby
general elections in .all cities of the first class are to bo
held on the odd-numbered years and it applies alike to
democratic and republican cities.
o
"Powerful Influences are at work against the enactment
of restrictions legislation" says a Washington despatch!
One of the most powerful of these is partisanship of a
congress dominated by the republican party which does
not want the democratic congressmen to deliver to their
constituents this very necessary piece of legislation.

The Tulsa Democrat complains of the unprecedented
crop of spring poetry that Is accumulating on the editor's
desk and fast falling into the waste basket. Bro. Stiykcr
has our heartfelt sympathy. While no obstacle should
be placed in the way of the budding genius the safe advice
to give to would-be poets is "Don't do it."
. o .
The expense of organizing the state government is a
small item as compared with the money that will be saved
to the people of Oklahoma in coal and lumber rates alone.
How different it Is to have a state government that is not
allied with the rate robbers. Oklahoman.
The reason v hy our
drug and prescription
business grows apace are
Because we please our cus-
tomers. Because we please your doc-
tors. So cu-totners and doctors
come to us again atd
again so our business
grows.

Thehe will be plenty doing at the booster meeting tonigh1:
don't miss it.
The discovery of an unlimited quantity of mineral water
here should be comforting to the tribe of thirsty ones who
view with alarm the enactment of the Billups bill. Frank
Brown is a real philanthropist.
The increasing correspondence that Is coming to Sec-
retary Aliard's desk shows that the Commercial club is
doing business.
Every month shows a substantial increase in the re-
ceipts of the local postofiice which is another indication
of a growing town.
You are expected at the booster meeting tonight.

Washington March 5. Senator Gore
has asked the Iudain ofli e to give (he
children of the Wichita Indian tribe of
Oklahoma .a "square deal." No tribe in
America has been buncoed worse than
tho Wichitas he said. They have been
kicked around from pillar to post until
sow they are comparatively poor des-
pite the fact that they were once the
richest Indains on earth. The adults
have lost about everything they had
and Senator Gore is now pleading for
the minora.
The Indian office enrolled tha chil-
dren of the Kiowas Comanche and
Apaches up until 1906. But for some
reason it has not enrolled any Wichita
minors since 1901.
