tary meets there on that date In a tion on account of t.he recent act of
letter written today to M. F. Stillwell oongrnss providing for the opening of
of Bartlesville, the governor stated ROH.OOO acres of Indian land to settle-
forts will soon be crowned with suc-
cess and Oklahoma will shine as the
brightest star in the constellation of
suites.
Fourth. Every day 1t becomes more
evident that the president made a wise
selection in Frank Frantz, as governor
of Oklahoma. Governor Frantx is
able, iearless and honorable in every-
thing. He is the governor of the whole
people and is not controlled bv a
clique who use his administration to
further their selfish purpose at the
exjjense of the people. We heartily en-
dorse L\is administration.
Fifth, Republicanism means much
for the county, the new state and the
nation. Its achievements make the
brightest pages of history, while on
the other hand achievements of dem-
ocratic administrations will aiwavs be
written in history where soup houses,
pestilences, fumines, strikes, earth-
quakes and other disasters are record-
ed We pledge ouraah-es individuals
ami collectively to Trork for the suc-
cess of republicanism.
INDIANS, NOT WHITE MEN, GRAFT
White Men the Victims of the Noble
Red Man at Every Turn.
Ardmore, I. T.. June 14.—Special.—
A peculiar condition has arisen since
the pasage of the Curtis Act, in which
so-called grafters have been driven to
bay, and in many cases have been
made bankrupts. The impression pre-
vails that white men have been

of this is true. The best known

scores of mei; who are called grafters,

cluding two women, whose husbands

EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION.
Interesting Day At Indianapolis And
Milling For The Presidency.
Indianapolis, Ind., June 14.— The
twenty-first convention of the Nation-
al Editorial assoelatlon was opened
yesterday with President John Dy-
mond, of New Orleans, in the chair.
B. B. Herbert, of Chicago, made the
report for the committee on postal
laws and numerous short talks fol-
lowed.
"The Virtue of Tolerence," was the
subject of an address by Avery C.
Moore, of Welser. Idaho. This after-
noon the delegates and their wives
took street car and automobile rides
over the city. A spirited contest is
on for the presidency. J. E. Junklns.
of Sterling, Kans.. and Frank H.
Greer, of Guthrie. Okla.. are the an-
nounced candidates.
Norfolk, Va., and Minneapolis are
the most active candidates for the
next convention.
Editor Moore of the Welser (Idaho)
World, said his main purpose in ad-
dressing the association was to refute
the stories circulated by socialists
that injustice was being done Mover
and Haywood, the miners charged
with the murder of ox-Gov. Steunen-
berg. He said great injustice had been
done his state by the press. Moore
wanted the association to vote con-
fidence in Idaho's purpose to be lust
to the accused, but the association
refused to entertain the proposition.
The railroad pass question was dis-
cussed and several editors denounced
the pass as an evil.
No Yellow Fever Yet.
Panama, June 14.—Governor Magoon
has telegraphed the canal commission
offices at Washington that there is
no yellow fever at Colon. The sus-
pected case reported May 23. he says,
was evidently not yellow fever, since
Cristobal and Colon contain two thous-
and lmmunes. and there have been no
cases reported there since.
Governor Magoon also notles
Washington that the canal medical
staff thinks the cases reported from
No. 1 board steamship Whitehall were
erroneously diagnosed. The general
health conditions on the isthmus con-
tinue excellent. Deaths during May
were five white and 40 negroes, the
smallest percentage during the past 12
months.
