—A new and novel plan for
helping the passage of the free
homes bill has been inaugurated
by J. W. Courtney, of Enid. He
is agent for a Michigan imple-
ment house, and he wrote them
tting forih the benefits the
wholesale house would derive
from it if Oklahoma gets free
homes; the people would save the
money to be paid the government
and would spend a portion of it
for implements. The wholesale
house wrote Mr. Courtney that
they heartily endorsed free
homes and could see how bene-
ficial it would be to them, and
that they had secured the sup-
port of the Michigan congress-
men and senators for the free
homes bill and would do all they
could for the measure, There is
not a wholesale house that is re-
ceiving support from Oklahoma,
that can afford to let this oppor-
tunity pass without making an
effort to assist their patrons,

Communicated.
Nearly all the papers our peo-
ple take here are published out-
side the territory and as the edi-
tors are not particularly interest-
ed in the Free Homes bill have
little if anything to say about it.
Our county papers are silent in
regard to it and consequently the
people dorit seem to be informed
of what is going on in Congress
about this measure that interest
us all. In our humble opinion
the chances for its passage is
more favorable now than any
time before. The bill isbyn..
means dead, but it is liable to be
called up in' the house at any
time. You remember the bill
passed the Senate twice and that
body can still, be depended on to
give it its support. The bill is in
charge of the committee in the
house and reported the bill favor-
ably without a dissenting voice.
While it was under discussion in
the committee room many prom-
inent members of both Senate and
House were present and all ex-
press themself to the effect that
the bill was just and should pass.
The strongest objection that was
ever made to the bill and that is
now made is that through its pass-
age the Government will lose from'
10 to 25 million dollars. This
objection, it is claimed has been
overcome by the argument that
during the war when our expend-
itures exceed our income our best
lands were given away to people
from the east and foreign count-
ries. In the committee room the
platforms of all the three great
parties were read urged as a
solid reason for the passage of
the bill. Another fact was pre*
sented that few settlers on these
lands would be able to pay for
their claims after decently provid-
ing for their families. The Re-
publican Party is now in power
and is natural for them to desire
a long lease of life. The Terri-
tory has the qualifications for
statehood and cant be kept out of
the states much longer they
must know that if they pass this |

of telling of it whenever oppor-
tunity offers, hoping that it may
be the meansof saving their lives.
