Captain Frantz is
Appointed Governor
Osage InC-ia.i Agent Will Succeed Governor Ferguson As Chief
Executive of Oklahoma Territory Next January—The New
Governoa a Personal Friend of President
WASHINGTON: Captain Frank by President Roosevelt two years
Frantz, at present agent of the Osage
Indians, is to be appointed governor
of Oklahoma at the expiration of the
term of Governor Ferguson.
The announcement that Frantz
would be appointed to succeed Fergu-
son was made at the White House
following the conference of McGulre
and a delegation of Oklahoma republi-
cans with the president.
GUTHRIE: Capt. Frank Frantz,
whose appointment as governor of Ok-
lahoma, is announced from Washing-
ton to succeed Thos. B. Ferguson on
January thirteen, next, la at present
agent of the Osage Indians in Oklaho-
ma, to which place he was appointed
ago. He was a rough rider captain
under Roosevelt, participating In the
battle of San Juan Hill, and the other
engagements on Cuban soli, and has
been close to the president ever since.
He was backed by the Congressman
McGuire faction of the republican
party In Oklahoma in his candidacy
for governor, but It Is believed here
that he won strictly on his rough rider
record. Gov. Ferguson's administra-
tion has been clean throughout and
he asked re-appointment on his recoW
and his friends believe that only be-
cause Frantz was a rough ridef was
his appointment made. Frantz is about
35 years old, and will be Oklahoma's
youngest governor. He was a demo
crat prior to his rough rider career.

Kappler's Talk
On the T reaties
Charles J. Kappler, of Washington, is of the opinion that Oklahoma
and Mian Territory will be admitted as a single state during the coming
session of congress. Mr. Kappler has had a wide experience among the
members of both houses of congress, and through his work formerly as
chief clerk to the United States senate committee on Indian affairs, gath-
ered a vast amount of knowledge concerning the territories, particularly
Oklahoma and Indian Territories. In a recent interview in the Kansas
City Journal he says:
"I believe that some time between December 4th and March 4th, of the
next year, congress is going to pass a bill giving statehood to those terri-
tories as a single state. I base this opinion upon views of the members
particularly senators, throughout the country. They appear to have be-
come convinced that it Is time to admit these territories, that the territor-
ies are deserving of admission to the union. I think that the members
have become pretty well convinced of that fact now, and I believe they
are going to act at the coming session accordingly. I doubt if there will
be any connection of these territories with Arizona and New Mexico."
Mr. Kappler is thoroughly familiar with the treaty stipulations be-
tween the government and the Indians, and he declares that the claim
that the government will be breaking faith wi-h the Indian tribes by an-
nexing Indian Territory to Oklahoma as a part of a state has no proper
foundation. Mr. Kappler is author of the book widely known throughout
these territories, "Compilation of Indian Laws and Treaties."
"There is nothing that can prevent the United States government
from admitting Indian Territory as a part of a state. A precedent which
established the right and authority of the government to take a step was
set when the organization of Oklahoma was first completed. Now the
proposed admission of the two states to the union would be entirely in ac-
cord with the previous action. It wouldn't as some have claimed, be a
violation of any promise. Of course there are some provision of the
treaties which touch upon these matters. And a treaty, through age, be-
comes In the nature of a sacred thing."
"But aside from that the government given the authority to do that
which shall seem best for the Indians. Whatever may have the provisions
of any previous treaties with the Indians, the government is sovereign and
It has the power to act upon previous treaties as such- a sovereign power."
This led to the question as to the manner of treatment which the In-
dians generally have received at the hands of the government. Mr. Kappler
said:
"As long as I was connected with the senate committee on Indian af
fairs, I never knew of an act of congress which didn't show that the gov
ernment was dealing scrupulously witfe these wards. It has appropriated
money in large sums to the Indians. More than that, the government has ful-
filled its oblgations to them in every particular so far as I have known.
"I believe that the Indians will be given the liberty of selling lands
which they may possess aside from their own homesteads, and I think that
this should be the policy of the government. It will be the undying policy
at Washington, however, to have the Indians continue to hold their home-,
steads. But by allowing them to dispose of their other lands the effect will
be not only to'yield them some financial returns, but at the same time it will
induce men to enter Indian Territory from the more thickly populated
states,
"Unquestionably, those territories have a great future as agricultural
communities, and the example of the white man entering the Indian Terri-
tory and living there wi#be good. We have heard the cry that the Indian
would not progress in spite of the means which the whites are conferring
upon him to that end. But my experience and observation lead me to take
an optimistic view of this situation, and to say that as a rule the Indians
are benefited permanently by schools. It is the exception for the Indian to
retrograde, once he has received a taste of these better things. It is com-
paratively rare that he goes back to tne blanket life after he has been
taught better."

To the stay-at-homes who cannot de-
part to summer retreats there comes
a dainty garden in miniature, and a
Japanese garden at that—as perfect a
landscape as can be found In the Cat-
skills, constructed by deft brown fin-
gers in a shallow porcelain bowl only
six inches across.
• The prices arc not prohibitive foi
modest specimens of Japanese minia-
ture gardening. The shops ask $3 fot
gardens in terra eotta pots and the
prices range further from $1! to fancy
prices for splcudld specimens In shal-
low porcelain dishes, which are very
artistic In themselves.
The tiny plants and dwarf shrubs
that go to make up these fairy gar-
dens come from Japan, but very few
are imported in their entirety because
of Uv; freight, rates and customs du-
ties. There are many Japanese here
who do the work.
T'he beauties of these gardens can-
net be appreciated at a casual glance.
T.iey are veritable cameos that have
t i be studied. Consequently, they are
row proving very popular for dining
j -oom tables, and whole sets of them
j 'ire used at banquets.
Their charms lie in the fact tliat In
a Bpp^e only six Inches across a p_<r-
feet landscape Illusion Is displayed
that would drive even the American
property man and scene painter wild
with envy.
The illusion is attained by winding
little gravel paths that circle In and
out among the tiny plants until they
are losf In the maze of dwarf trees.—

nickname. This order emanates from

OKLAHOMA SALOONS CLOSE
Decisions of Court Making Nearly All
Towns Dry
GUTHRIE: Numerous recent court
decisions In Oklahoma are resutling
In "dry" towns throughout the terri-
tory, In places, too, where there have
been Baloons since the opening of the
territory. It began with the decision
of Judge Gillette at Lawton, holding
that an applicant for a saloon license
must have a petition signed by thirty
resident taxpayers In the ward where
the saloon was to be located. This
decision made every Comanche county
town "dry," except Lawton.
During the past week Judge Burford
made a similar order at Chandler,
closing the saloons at Agra and which
will result in "dry" towns throughout
Lincoln county, excepting at Chandler
and possibly at Stroud. The last sa-
loon in Beaver county, was closed dur-
ing the week and if the orders of the
court continue along the lines of the
Burford-Gillette cecir-l^iis every saloon
in Oklahoma, outside ttie largest towns
will be closed.
