It seems that the Czar may
change his wind and appoint an-
other peaoe envoy to head the
Russian peace embassy instead
of M. Muravieff. This is in keep-
ing with his actions in the past.
He never knows one day what
•stand he will take the next, pos-
sibly because ho can't tell which
way the wind will blow.
O vernor Folk of Missouri has
sounded a serious note. He
states that when a governor Ret*
to the point where he refuses to
onforoe the law, that decay
has set in that will ultimately
cause that government to lose its
prosperity and fall back into a
Jowor state of existence. He is
right. The law should be enfor-
ced.
In Chicago thieves have fal-
len out and it may be that honest
men may gut their dues. The
International Harvester Co.
brought suit against one of its
employees, Rodney Swift, for
money fhat they claim he swin-
dled them out of, and now he
reciprocates the favor by in-
stituting all kinds of injunction
.suits against said company, and
alleges that the oompany has
by illegal means extorted from
the railroads In the way of reb-
ates over 84.000.000,000 00. We
are certainly amazed that the
^oor railroads have been compel-
led to throw up their hands and
ask for mercy at the hands of
other corporations. Its a case
of dog eat dog.
The Mass Meeting.
At the mass meeting that was
called Saturday evening to se-
lect sixteen delegates to the state
hood
' City on July 12th. A. W. Kerr
| was elected chairman and O. K.
Benedict secretary. Upon mo-
tion it was decided to let each
party select eight delegates and
eight alternates to the conven-
tion.
The following delegates and
alternates were selected, viz:
Delegates: O. J. Logan, G C.
Worral, W. P. Stewart. Bill Rob-
bins, Bill Livermore, H. B. Sulli-
van, Judge Woodson, H. L
Stnndeven, 8am Combs, C. A.

Last evening while the editor
of the Chief and the entire Chief
force was busily engaged getting
out the paper for the mail, Chas.

Upon motion it was decided to
allow each delegate to vote as he
and called the editor to the door
and assaulted him. After the
first assault wai made the editor
defended himself as beat he could
until the crowd came up and
separated the parties. The af-
fair was brought about by the
editorial that appeared in the
Chief a few days ago in regard
to moonlight rides. The editor
said nothing in that article that
any self-respecting man couhi
take exception to, and he is still
of the same opinion that he ex-
pressed in said editorial. We
will continue from day to day to
get out the Chief according to
our own ideas and will attempt
to protect ourselves and office in
the future as in the past. The
editor deplores suoh occurrences
as much as anyone could. We
have no desire for pugilistic
honors, and shall lend the as-
sistance of the Chief in every
wav that is exacted in securing
under Dr. Wood row, returned to

W. J. Cameron, who has been

Country Prosperous.
"Southwest Oklahoma" said a
man who has traveled a good
portion of the Territorj', at this
■office yesterday, "or at least that^
part of it traversed by the Bes
Line from Arapahoe to the
Texas line is one of the finest
sections of country 1 ever saw
And I want to say that some of
<i,he older parts of Oklahoma will
tiave to look to their laurels or
l.hey are likelj to be outdated
all along the line by this bright
r.ew section of the Territory.
■"Crops?! Why, I never saw the
like. There seems to be no end
of them. Your wheat, while rot
so plentiful in acreage, is of a
Jbetter stand and quality than
that produced by any of the
boasted wheat counties. Your
oats are numerous and will re-
turn a splendid yield, while corn,
cane, cotton kaffir and other
crops give promise of abundance.
An air of prosperity and content-
ment and satisfied hopes just
.seems to permeate everybody.
The towns are improving nicely
and many new buildings are no-
ticed on every hand. I am oert-
ainly gratified at the evidence of
thrift and plenty displayed on a
visit through southwest Oklaho-
. ma, this year. You are certain-
2y to be congratulated."

pleased upon questions coming
before the convention, and that
if a delegate wa3 absent from
either of the two sides that those
present of that side be allowed
to cast the vote of the absentee.
It was also decided that each del-
egate should, in case he failed to
go, nante the alternate that
should represent him in the con-
vention.
A committee was appointed to
draft resolutions and presented
the following resolutions, to-wit:
Your committee on resolutions
beg leave to submit the following
resolutions:
Whereas, it is conceded from
all sources, and from all .stand-
points, that Oklahoma and the
Indian Territory are entitled to
immediate single statehood.
Therefore be it resolved that
we, the citizens of Kiowa county,
in convention assembled, do most
emphatically express our de&ire,
without reference to political
views, in favor of immediate
single statehood for Oklahoma
Territory and Indian Territory,
upon such terms as the Congress
of the United States, in their
wisdom and generosity may pro-
vide. B. N. Woodson.

man of the meeting, and stated
that he was not absolutely certain
that the plant would be put in,
but that it was reasonably cer-
tain that it would be. That it
would embrace 30,000 acres in
Kiowa and 30,000 acres in Greer
counties. That the policy of the
government is to begin on a
small scale and extend the plant
after the reservoir is completed.
He seems to be a practical en-
gineer, having had twenty-three
years experience in the west,
and appears to be a man of ac-
tion rather than a man of prom-
ises.
The meeting was called and
