Ju^e Raymond Exhonorated.
The charges preferred against
Judge Raymond of the Western
District, have been examined by
tbe departmeut of justice, and the

al move on the jmrt of the editor
of the Phoenix, in the opinion of
the writer. If such'is correct, he
should have been allowed to re-
main in his present position. It

Mr. Roosevelt Spoke of Statehood
At Vinita.
President Roosevelt paid a
tribute Wednesday to the people
of Indian territory an'! commend-
ed them as eligible for statehood
in a brief speech at Vinita, where
a stop of two minutes was made
at 9:08 o'clock. He spoke as fol-
lows :
"I cannot say what pleasure it
is to me to be to-day in the Iudian
territory, which I earnestly hope
will soon be part of a great state
of our Union. I have never had
the good fortune to be in the
territory before, but I had the
great good fortune io have some
of your sons in my regiment, and
better and truer men never rode a
hoime nor handled a rifle. All I
need say of them, speaking to you
of the great war, is that we tried
in the little war to show that we
had some of the spirit that the
men had who fought in the great
Civil war.
"You will soon be part of one
of the great states of the Union
(for surely we will see Oklahoma
and the Indian territory admitted
into statehood), and when that
takes place you will lm at the
outset a great state. Then it will
lie with you to see what kind of
state you make of it.-'
A Strike In Chelsea.
The hod carriers 011 the build-
ing for C. L. Lane and the First
National Bank are out 011 a strike,
and work is at a stand-still. The
cause was said to be a demand for
higher wages which the con-
tractors did not see proj>ertogive.
'It is contended that the present
wage is as large as the union
1 men receive in places where there
is a union.
