The prompt flood of peanut
political gossip regarding the
organization of the new state
strikes with dismay those who
have hoped to rear a State here
if not precisely of the ideal sort
a least free from many of the
blemishes of older communities
The material andtlthe opportun-
ity are here — and yet the first:
note audible is of petty political
expedients gerrymandering and
the like Let those who abhor
such things assert themselves
for they are the majority Let
their 1 voices be heard sternly
forbidding the spotless banner
of the new State to be trailed in
the offal of peanut politics
Surely the party that is guilty of
such profanation will be punish-
ed by the people who will resent
the insult to tbeir intelligence
and their patriotism If the Re-
publicans really have a majority
here it is not only their right
but tbeir imparetive duty to as-
sume the responsibility of the
State government Any petty
scheming to defeat the popular
will react upon the guilty party
and banish it from power
These remarks apply with equal
force to the Democratic party
There appears to be some
misapprehension as to the effect
of the passage of the statehood
bill We sre no more a state
than we were a year ago The
effect ot the measure just pass
ed is to put the matter up to us
We can now secure statehood if
we want it within the next six
months Congress has merely
passed an enabling" act The
order of procedure now is to
ordinance proposes that lie shall
be required to take steps to show
why his property should not be
destroyed' while the company
wculd be gives the moral ad
vantage of being the defendant
This may appear superficially
to be a distinction without a dif-
ference but those familiar with
legal process know there is a
very considerable difference

Washington June 19— It is
understood that Governor Frantz
will let no grass grow under his
feet in the matter of consum-
mating statehood and that he
will immediately issue the call
for the election-of delegates the
convention to be held in August
The constitution will be ready
for the people at the November
elections Ou tbev following
Fourth of July the forty-sixth
star will be added to the flag
Now that statehood is assured
for Oklahoma and Indian Terri-
tory the question arises as to
just where the new star will go
on the flag Its position is of
much moment notwithstanding
the fact that soon after it takes
its place among the forty-five
others now in the field few per
sons will be able to pick out Ok-
lahoma’s from that of any other
state in the Union -Arthur
Copeland the local
flagmaker who makes many
flags for the government was
asked yesterday just ‘where he
proposed to put the new state
Mr Copeland stated that the
position would have to be deter-
mined by the government and
his work in adding the new star
would be according to instruc-
tions Five spaces were provided pn
the flag one for each territory
n the event they should some
day become states Joint state-
hood for Oklahoma and Indian
Territory hasv made one space
unnecessary
But the question of position is
one which will not bother either
the government or Copeland for
some time yet as the star ' can
not be placed on the flag until
the Fourth of July following the
formation and ratification of a
constitution which is yet to be
done by the people of a new
state
The governor' of Oklahoma
will call aa election for delegates
to a convention witbia six months
after the signing of the bill
creating the new state At the
convention a constitution will be
drawn up and submitted to the
people for ratification When
the constitution is ratified the
President of the United States
will issue a proclamation declar-
ng Oklahoma a member of the
statehood of states
It is understood that the gov-
ernor will immediately issue hia

Washington June 19— Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary
Hitchcock are seeking authority -from
Congress to prevent any
further disposal of coal and oil
lands belonging to the govern-
ment in order to protect the
American people from the con-
sequences of another coal strike
As a result of conferences be-
tween these officials and Senator
Spooner the latter will introduce
a joint resolution in the Senate
this week authorizing the Presi-
dent to make an examination of
all public land with a view to
establishing which pave coal oil
or building materials thereon
and to withdraw from settle-
ment such as possess these re-
sources It is intended to urge
action before the close of this
session so that the Interior De-
partment may proceed atonce
Secretary Hitchcock estimates
thatbere are between 40 and 44
million acres of public land un-
derlaid with coal veins which in
many instances are thirty feet
thick The oil and gas mines
on government and Indian lands
are rich and extensive The
Standard Oil company is trying '
by every means it r can nse to
gain possession of them and thus
continue its monopoly ' of these
important resources
The government is powerless
under present conditions to in-
terfere in a coal strike and is
impotent to arrest the monopo-
listic policy of the Standard Oil
company But should the Spoon-
er joint resolution be enacted '
the government will be in a posi-
tton in time of emergency to
operate its own fuel mines and -partly
at least relieve the peo-
ple from the consequences of a
strike or a capacity of grasping
corporations
Secretary Hitchcock has been
informed that thousands of acres
of the public domain have been
taken up cs agricultural claims
when as a matter of fact the
lands are mineral and are being
worked for coal cement etc-
Prosecutions for fraud have been
instituted in a number of cases
They will be pressed vigorously
in order to secure jail sentences
for the guilty and thus deter
further violations of the land
laws ' i
It seems that Oklahoma snc
ceeded finally in getting rid of “
