REPUBLICAN PKtSSAND
SINGLE STATEHOOD
The organization In this city yes-
terday of a press association among the
republican editors of Oklahoma and
Indian Territory was one of the most
commendable effects of the single
statehood movement. And It is going
to be one of the most powerful means
of furthering that movement. And In
this connection- it- may be noted with
satisfnetion by the friends of single
statehood that the republican press of
Indian Territory is, equally with the
republican press of Oklahoma. Interest-
ed In the accomplishment of this end
at the earliest possible moment.
The efforts of the press of the two
territories in the republican party be-
ween this time and the formation of
a state here will have an effect of pre-
paring the party and the-people of the
two seollons for the formation of one
state. It Is not alone a politic thing
to do from the point of view of the
republican party but It is a patriotic
thing to do in the'interest of the people
of the future state.
The organization of the Indian Ter-
ritory republican party will be harmon- fr0m the performance of his duty
ized with the republican party of Okla-
homa and the result of this will be
better conception of the problems and
necessities of the situation when state-
hood shall come.
It Is with pleasure that the State
Capital compliments the republican
newspaper men of the two territories
upon having gotten together thus^arly
In the formation of the state. The re-
sult is going to be in every way satis-
factory to the party and will be the
best evidence of the renewed desire
of the republican party to do things
in the interest of all the people of the
state. a
owner of a trunk railway line,
would naturally be interested in hav-
ing large crops so as to increase the
earnings of his property. As an active
speculator in that line's stocks, he
would bo Interested in making the
crops appear larger than they are so
as to increase the valuo of his shares
tn the stock market.
But Hill the speculator may have an
Interest—a temporary Interest—in mak-
ing, the corn crop seem nrach smaller
than it is, so as to send stocks down
for the moment and give him a chance
toflncrease his holdings at low prices.
Hhl and others like him have often
done this. Hill, the politician, is also
to be taken into the account. Hill hates
Roosevelt for his assault on the trusts
and particularly for his overthrow of
the Northern securities company in
which Hill was vitally'interested. Ever
since Roosevelt smashed the big North-
ern pool Hill has been preaching ca-
lamity. All these things need to be
taken into tho account when testing
Hill's prophecy about a drop in corn to
,000.000,000 bushels.
Hill thinks that a fall in the com
crop will injure tbe republicans In tne
corn-growing states, and thus hit
Roosevelt. He would be willing to sub-
mit to a decline in earnings for a few
months If this would defeat thAt fear-
less enforcer of the anti-trust laws. The
combines have excellent reason to fear
the president. He is a man who be-
lieves that laws are placed on the s:at-
ute books to be enforced, and he en-
forces them. Neither wealth nor social
or political pulls can swerve Roosevelt

The rapid growth in the exportation

and the Increase In the share which
they form of the total exports has led
the department of commerce and labor
through ltsobureau of statistics to a
comparison of th^ growth of the man-
ufacturing Industry in the United
States with that of other countries
engaged in supplying the world s In-
ternational markets with manufactur-
ed products. Four countries—the Unit-
ed Kingdom, Germany, France and
the United States—are the world's
chief purveyors of the manufactures
which enter into International com-
merce. Tho value of manufactures en-
tering the international markets of the
world amounts to about four billion
dollars annually, and of this sum abtjlit
three billion In value is supplied by
the United Kingdom, France, Germany
and the United States. It is interesting
and Important therefore, to study the
share which these four Countries are

tures entering the world's internation-
al markets and especially to determine

A Great Opportunity,
Galveston Tribune. , , _
The, southwest, and particularly Texas,
never before had such hii oportunity open
to secure pouiation and new industries
as Is now presented. For years the peo-
ple of the north have been turning toward
the .south for homes where there Is less
severe weather and. great opportunities to
advance and enjoy life. This feeling has
bean growing. The advantage* of life

ty people aro becoming better known uach

north last winter decided many to make
the change and caused many more to seri-
ously consider the same move. Never be-
fore was Texas In as good condition to
receive the enormous number ot home

to nee tho country and learn of Its advan-
tages. as now The development that haa
taken place during the pa*t f^w years,
and is now under way In all sections oi
the state, render it much more inviting
than formerly to the visitors from the
more thickly settled north. And the num-
ber of former residents of northern states
who are now prospecting heie In every
section of our state a strong Incentive
for others to come and stay also.
Investors, homeseekers and prospectors
from all sections of our country will soon
be coming southward to spend the colder
months and look around, most of them
with a view of investing and locating;
some In cities and towns and some in the
country. The section that has Its best
foot forward and makes a vigorous effort,
backed by a meritorious propoation well
presented, will be successful In securing
a goodly number of the desirable new
comeis. The oportunity that is now be-
fore us is a great one and Galveston city
and county should make every effort to
get properly and squarely In the way of
this great movement. No more opportune
time could be wished for.
Superlative Degree In Corn.
Beaver Ilefald. ®
J P. Ilatten. who has a claim on the
North Flats. « miles north of Beaver,
brought some samples of corn which he
raised this year. Mr. Hatton is an old
corn raiser, and to test the capacity of
Beaver county in the way of cron grow-
ing he experimented this year with three
different varieties-Golden Burpee, Bloody
Butcher and Mexican June. The Golden
Bupee Is a yellow corn, not over large^but
solid. Bloody Butcher Is a dark red, good
sized ears, solid on the cob. Both were
cultivated and made good returns. But
Mexican June capped anything we ev.r
saw. It is a pur ' white corn of a late
variety. The .samples brought In. and
which Mr Hatten .-ays are no better than
a great part of the crop, tois Immense
stalks, over 11 feet high, and>ach bearing
two. and In some cases three very
large ears. On some of the stalks the

much greator than the European roun-
