‘•STATEHOOD SURE"—FRANTZ
Guthrie, Okla., Oct. 9.—“Oklahoma
will he admitted to statehood by Presi-
dent Roosevelt between November l
and 15.”
This statement was made by Governor
Frantz today on his return from his trip
down the Mississippi river to Memphis
with President Roosevelt, the governors
of different states and representatives
of the commercial organizations of the
Mississippi valley.
“I see nothing in sight by which
statehood can be sidetracked,” contin-
ued Governor Frantz. “Of course,
something new may arise, but it has
not arisen and l do not expect to see it.
The question of whether or net the con-
stitution is republican in form and
agrees with the requirements of the en-
abling act has been under consideration
in Washington for weeks. I do not be-
lieve it has been found that any- of the
conditions imposed have been violated.”
PECAN CROP IS VALUABLE.
The pecan is yet TV stranger to mil-
lions of would be nut eaters of the world
and it is safe to say that the demand
for this wholesome and delicious nut
will never be supplied, at least not in a
century, owing to the time required to
carry the trees to the bearing age, and
the tendency of the people to avoid any
investment which does not furnish quick
returns. A young man is not willing
to wait, and the old men expect to die
before the trees will bear. But the boy
who is wise and contemplates staying
on the farm, will commence now to grow
a pecan orchard.
The use of the land for cotton, corn
and other crops need not be lost while
the trees are growing to the bearing
period. _ _________
It is curious that while the govern-
ments of Japan and the United States
are swearing eternal friendship and
protesting that any thought of hostility
is both criminal and insane, the Euro-
pean countries are promptly taking the
criminal and insane view of it and de-
clare that the appearance of the Amer-
ican battle squadron in the Pacific will
be the prelude to a bloody and relent-
less war between this country and Ja-
pan. It is possible that the wish is
father to the thought among the chan-
cellories of Europe. Great Britian her-
self is a little nervous of her offensive
and defensive alliance with Japan, and
Germany and Russia, both Btrongly
imbued with the idea of the Yellow
Peril, would be glad to see this country
measure strength with Japan in the
Pacific. The idea is not altogther un-
selfish either, for they know that such
an Oriental war would cost them noth-
ing, would ruin the Oriental trade of
this country enchance theirs. And even
supposing that Japan won out, which
is a supposition that could not be ad-
mitted in this country, it would leave
her in a condition where there would
be no more Yellow Peril to be consider-
ed for some generations to come. The
talk of a secret understanding between
this country and Germany, in virtue of
which Germany was to protect the
American Atlantic coast, is of course
nonsense, but it is seriously considered
in Europe, where it would effectually
wipe out all the hard work that King
Edward had done in the diplomatic line
in the past four years. Probably the
clash of this country with Japan will
not come for many years, but the
view that Europe takes of the situation
is certainly interesting for us to con6id-
