The republicans In thla territory
stand for "Statehood for Oklahoma at
once," and whats more, there are going
to get it at this coming session of con-
gress and don't you forget It.
It Is noticed that Logan county Is
accredited with several elected dele-
gates to the Shawnee statehood pow
wow. When was the caucua held,
where, and how? Who, If anyone, be-
aldes Major L. GooGoo Nlblack waa
present.
Several l gan county cltlsem are
announced aa duly elected delegates to
the Shawnee convention. The gentle-
men never consented to the use of their
names and were never elected—no cau-
cus has been held. How many Okla-
homa delegations wero "elected" in
the'same way.
One of the results of the recent re-
publican committee meeting la far from
pleasing to the boosters of the demo-
cratic statehood plan. The expressions
make so clear the party sentiment that
It Is Impossible for further misrepre-
sentation to have effect beneficial to
the Bill Cross crowd.
Governor Ferguson s rugged and un-
mistakeable declaration that he pre-
ferred state government, even though
It be administered by the democracy
to continuation of territorial rela-
tions, la convincing proof of his lack of
self Interest in the position he takes
regarding statehood.
Guthrie in a measure learned the
benefits of another railroad Monday
morning when the excursion train, dl
rect from Enid, rolled Into the unlou
depot, loaded to the platforms. In the
old days, when an Enid man had to
spend the entire day In t he trip over
he didn't come to the capital city very
often.
The ways of broad-minded, patriotic
Just and persistent boomers of the
democratic statehood plan are verily
past all finding out. They announce a
convention in one breath, fix the num-
ber of delegates and manner In which
they are to be selected in another, and
in the next the managers double up on
the representation and name the dele-
gates without Tegard to the wishes or
principles of the gentlemen selected.
"The only open question regarding
the national ticket," say3 the Toledo
.Blade (rep.) "is the candidate for
vice president There eeeuis to be no
Indication of popular adhesion to any
one, so far, for this placet Probably
the matter will be left entirely to the
national convention, which will follow
the wise example of the convention of
1900, It Is to be hoped and name a man
for second place whose ability and
character thoroughly fit for him for
the presidency In case ho should be
called to fill it"
The Chicago Tribune's collected sta-
tistics regarding the church affiliations
of the present state governors have
caused some comment, but the Com-
mercial-Appeal (dem.), of Memphis
dismisses them thus: "There is no po-
litical significance in a table like this.
The American people never Inquire into
the religion of the men they select for
governors. It is true that there is nc
Catholic in the list, but we are inclin-
ed to think that this is purely and acci-
dent Occasionally the bigots have
made a fight on candidates who chanc-
ed to think that this is purely an acci-
exhlbltions of intolerance are rare.
The fact that twelve of the governors
are non-church members would indi-
cate, however, that a man's religious
beliefs cut but a small figure in his po-
litical success."
M GUIR*E AND
THE PLATFORM
Oklahoma republicans are entitled
to a feeling of profound gratification
at the result of Monday's gathering of
party workers. Active, influential re-
publicans from all parts of the terrl- J
tory wero present and so unified was j
the sentiment, not only in public ad-
dress, but In private conversation, that
2 1 there can be no question as to stato-
y mail u! hood The republican party is
j practically unanimous In a reiterated
support of the platform upon which
Bird S. McGulro made his campaign
and was elected delegate to congress.
True, there were frame speakers who
favored immediate Joint statehood, who
believed its advocacy to be a safe party
policy, but all were both willing and
eager to bow to the desires of the ma-
jority. There was a general feeling,
based on the best advices from the In-
dian nations that Indian Territory con-
ditions preclude its admission to state-
hood at this time, and that more than
her fair share of the burden cf govern-
ment would be carried by Ok;r.homa In
event of the Immediate admission of
the two territories as one great state.
Knowing that congress Is unwilling
to, at this time, throw the boundarl«
of a state around the Five Nations, re-
publicans are convinced that the sup-
port of Joint statehood ideas means
simply and surely the indefinite post-
ponement of full development for Ok-
.aboma. Believing that the wealth,
prosperity and Intelligence of the peo-
ple of Oklahoma are so weil known to
the members of congress that they
can not longer deny admission to the
most fit territory yet an applicant for
the privileges of statehood, Oklahoma
republicans are determined that the
fight Is to be continued along the lines
of policy the voters endorsed at the
polls last November.
Oklahoma republicans are for Imme-
diate statehood for Oklahoma, with
such provision for the future of In-
dian Territory as changing conditions
may permit and the wisdom of con-
gress direct. There is, in view of the
unanimity of sentiment, at this time
no need for the calling of a republican
statehood convention, but if Mr. Mc-
Quire finds as the time for the conven
ing of congrc«8 draws nearer, that
such a convention will be of assis-
tance to him In his attempt to carry
out the wishes of his constituency,
wise provision is made by which a con-
vention can be promptly arranged for.
However, Monday's gathering with all
its evidence of statehood harmony, Is
as convincing proof of t*he wishes of
Oklahoma republicans as could possl
bly be developed. The meeting has
served Its purpose. Everyone now un
derstands that the republican party
was earnest In the course It pursued
during the last campaign, that it is
still unitedly supporting the same plan
that Bird McGuire truly represents his
party In his declarations of allegiance
to the statehood principles of the Enid
platform, which offers the only means
by which Oklahoma may gain imme-
diate statehood.

WILL RESTRICT
THE BEGGARS
The Spanish government at last is
making an effort to put some limits
to the pest of mendicity which has
flourished for so long all over the coun-
try. A new law has been passed which
aims to supprsri vagrancy and beg-
ging, especially in the case of young
children. It enacts that the parents
and guardians of minors arrested for
begging or wandering and sleeping on
the highways and the public thorough-
fares shall be liable to punishment by
fines or terms of from one to fifteen
days' imprisonment. Heavier fines or
from fifteen to thirty day's imprison-
ment, are imposed on parents and
guardians who ill-treat children In or-
der to make them beg, or who sell
them to others for the purpose of beg-
ging. All persons convicted will for-
feit their right to have the custody of
the children for two years or more at
the discretion of the courts and au-
thorities, who will place the minors in
proper establishments for their support
and education, until it Is possible to
restore them to their parents. This
law, though introduced by the minis-
ter of the interior, was prepared by
the social reform committee, and draft-
ed by a distinguished professor at the
Madrid university, Senator Santa Mar-
la de Paredes, formerly tutor In public
law and economics to the young king.
CURRENT COMMENT.
OUR PROSPEROUS
SCHOOL SYSTEM
Oklahoma has always been bless-
ed with a prosperous educational sys-
tem. The munificent provisions for
school fund, made at the time congres
clonal enactment opened the territory
to settlement, coupled with the lntelli
gence of her people and their desire for
great development, have made possl
ble a school system equalled by those
of few states and excelled by none.
However, these were but conditions.
It was required that they be taken ad
vantage of, or they were of little use.
A recent investigation of the com
mon schools of Oklahoma, a study of
their growth and prospects demon-
strates that they are In the best con-
dition in their history. The enrollment
Is greater, the courses of study better
adapted to practical needs, the num-
ber of graduates Increased two-fold
and better yet. nearly all who have
completed their course will enter high-
er institutions of learning. And fur-
ther—they need not leave their own
territory to seek the advanced educa-
tion.
The territorial colleges, normals and
university are in the most prosperous
condition sinco their establishment and
are looking forward to increased en-
rollment and greater interest during
the approaching school year.
The normal institutes in the various
counties are more serviceable this sea-
son than they have been In other years,
ELIMINATING MACEDONIA BY
CENSOR.
Washington Star.
The '1 urklah official censor of the de-
partment of public education, who bits
been reading the dialect edltlona of the
Bible which the American Bible Society
would send throughout the Levant( ob-
jects to the use of the word "Macedonia."
He finds the mlschevioua word In 1 Thes-
aalonlana. The odious versea read: "8
that ye were ensamples to all thut believ
Macedonia and Achula;" and, "For
from you sounded out the word of the
Lord, not only from Mucadonla;" and,
"And Indeed ye do it toward all the breth-
ren which are in Macedonia." The censor
would amend the Bible by striking out
th« wtTil M;tf ilonla" : nil Inserting ""
vlllayeta of Salonika and Monaatlr."
The censor, should he draw a mark of
cancellation through "Macedonia" wher-
ever It occurs In the New Testament,
would wear the point oft his pencil and
mutilate the Book. Acta alone would keep
him busy. In chapter xvl of Acts, "A
vision appeared to Paul In the night
There stood a man of Macedonia and
fed him, saying "Come over Into Ml
la and help us,' and after we had
seen the vision Immediately we endeav
ored to go Into Macedonia.'1 In the 12th
verse of the chapter named Phllippl la
given as the chief city in Macedonia. 1;
chapter xvlll of Acts, "Silas and Tlmothe
us were come from Macedonia." In the
following chanter Paul passes through
Macedonia "two of them that mlnlstned
him." In th<* same chapter It Is wrrltten
that "men of Macedonia were Paul's com-
panions." In the first verse of chapter
xx Paul departs from Macedonia ami
the third verse he proposes to "return
through Macedonia."
Macedonia Is mentioned in Roman*, I
Corinthians, II Corinthians, Philippine. I
Thessalonlans. and In the first Epistle of
Pnul to the Apostle Timothy.
The Turkish OtUOT is more a noncensnr
than a censor. It Is a safe prediction that
Macedonia will stay in th«* Bible longer
than Turkey will atay on the mup.
I likelihood that Mr Bryan himself will be
t th. iMtiilldate next year—at least not the
l candidate of th.- regular democracy he
do a good work for the republic-
or sound politics and the • iuse of
an proMi • rlty by instilling his
Into a sufficient numb-r of,d«no-
io dominate ths convention next
It would be vain t< deny that the re-
publicans feel a good deal of Interest In
Mr. Bryan. He rendered them valuable
aid by his addrn-p- s and hla creed in the
i-anvHSsea < / lByt, anil 1900. In fact, thev
have never shown the gratitude to him
that they ought to feel for his work In
their behalf In th« two Important exi-
gencies. They would have won In those
campaigns even If the Nebraskan had
rinvsr b *en Invonted. But the fact that
h' was extant at the tlrnn end exceed-
ingly active, ser\e<l to make the repub-
lican majorities n little larger than they
would otherwise have be<-n, and thus
contributed to the country * prestige and
advancement. If Mr. Bryan will Induce
the democratic party to make Ihe can-
vass of 1904 on the creed which he has
Just outlined be will deserve, and doubt-
less will receive the pluuditi of the re-
publican party.
HARDY'! OOSPEL OF OISPAIR.
Minneapolis Trlbun. .
Hardy's conception of life Is declared
"a mystery out of which poor humanity
emerges to piny lis transient role, and
that a sad one—for even its gleams of Joy
ure shadowed by the sense of doom that
makes our triumphs trivial, and happiness
Itself a futility." Hardy's own jvords In
ntlng on the fate of that most hap-
less of his heroines, "Teas of the D Ub-
bervllles," "Justice was done, and the
president of the Immortals (In Aeschylean
>hrase) had finished his work with Tees,
on firm hla view of human life as rhe
deepest of trag. Ilea in which cruel, un
ironing and icmorelsss fates pursue
their Irresistible victim.
Hardy ha« of lst« given up romance
writing for poetry, which too often re-
entries what he calls:
..—A music centered In a doleful song.
Sending up a lamentation of an ancient
tale of wrong.
Aa life is sad enough ot the best, why
should writers gifted with The power to
delight, elevate and Instruct their fellow-
mon, add to their inevitable sorrows by
pessimistic waitings? Emerson's cheerful
optimism and Browning's
Hod's In his heaven.
All's right With the world,
for a phasing contrast to that gospel of
dspnir which of late years has been
preached by many, among whom Is one
of the most eloquent and gifted of con
temporary novelists.
CHEERFULNESS AND SELLING
GOODS.
Salesmanship.
If a salesman has not within his heart
the "milk of human kindness," he would
better quit trying to sell goods and go
Into the banking business—where friend-
ship ceases.
A happy disposition is to a salesman
what fire insurance Is to a property own-
er—it enables him to "bob up serenely."
As no two customer* are exactly alike
In their disposition, the salesman must
rely on nature's law of "laugh and the
world laughs with you."

DIPLOMATIC PUZZLE.
Ornnd Rapids Herald.
The Servian revolution must makn It
embarrassing for the diplomatic depart-
ments of all the governments. It Is custo-
mary when a monarch, even of a 2x4
kingdom, meets sudden and violent death,
(or all the other governments to send in
messages of horror, condolence and sym-
pathy. and then a little later send greet-
ings to the new ruler. But In the Servian
Incident the circumstances are somewhat
different and It will take a long-headed
and wise statesman to point the way
which International amity and courtesy
should take. The king Is dead and so Is
the queen, and It would be eminently
proper for all other governments to feel
grieved and shocks^, but how to express
their profound sorrow and to whom Is a
delicate and Interesting problem. A mes-
sage of condolence to the Sen-Ian govern-
ment would not. probably, be gratefully
received, for it was the nt w government
that caused the slaughter. Messages
might be sent to the bereaved fpmllles.
but another difficulty arises In the fact
that so clean was the sweep that If any I
of the bereaved families were spared It
was because the conspirators thought
them too Insignificant to make any dif-
ference. The new king might be felicitat-
ed, but not many governments will want
to extend the hand of fellowship on such
short notice, and especially when there is
no positive assurance that the new king i
wHI stick. The diplomatic situation j
certainly Is unique In its complications,
and it Is likely the other governments
will adopt the policy of sllenc® on the
theory that the least said the better.
LOVING AMISS.
Honest lover whosoever!
If In all thy lover there ever
Was one wavering thought, thy flame
Were not still even, still the same.
Know this:
Thou lovest amiss
And to love true
Thou must begin again and love nnew.
If when she appears 1' 'he room
Thou doest not (giuke and art struck
dumb.
And striving this to cover
Dost not speak thy words twice over,
Know this:
Thou lovest amiss
And to love true,
Thou must begin again and love anew.
If fondly thou does not mistake
And all defects for graces take,
Persuade thyself that Jests are broken
When She hnth little or naught spoken.
Know this:
Thou lovest amiss
And, to love true.
Thou must begin again and love anew.
If when thy stomach calls to eat
Thou cutt st not fingers 'stead of meat
And. with much gazing on her face,
Dost not rise hungry from thys place,
Know this:
TI.ou lovest amiss
And. to love true.
Thou must begin again and love anew.
If when thou appear'st to be within,
Thou lett'st not m. n ask and ask again,
And when thou snswerest. If It be
To what was asked thee properly.
Know this:
Thou lovest amiss
And. to love true,
Thou must begin again and love anew.
