As soon as McGuiro'g
election was assured, that
gentleman gave it out that he
would at once go to work in
earnest for statehood, and
from reports coming from
Washington, it is very evi-
dent that he has made his
word good.
The people of Oiclahoma

in no uncertain terms that
they wanted statehood. The

(Jid. phat before his death he
could not be eleoted senator,
even though he fitted thfc
place, but tho next day after
his death he wished some
friend would pubsorifye pn
his headstone,fHe gptthere."
So it is with qne having the
chains taken frpm his shins.
' He got there with the re-
stricti >ns removed would
look well, if h© was so fqrtu-
his ways and legends, and
who is perhaps tho most or-
iginal and quaint writer of
all the Indian, scribes, had
the yestriotions removed from
him not long sinoe and be.-
came a full fledged American
citizen. His soliloquy pn
the change in his conditions
js interesting and iye reprint
it in full:
"Well, in the first place,
you feel kind of salubrious,
as the fellow said, and again
you kind of take the big
Jiead and feel as if you were
as good as a Creek negro,
and again you find all at once
that you are cultivating a fine
taste for pie. Then you
hitch up to your unpainted
buggy, minus a top, and you
rattlo oft' to your claim of
160 acres of land, and when
you arrive there you say
within yourself, "This is my
dirt to own and to hold to
myself, my heirs and assigns
forever, or until death or a
large ^un^le of greenbacks
do us part.' Then you feel
salubrious some ipore. and
the next feel that comes upon
you is to the effect that you
are elgitye to any office in
the United States, if there
was not an if in the way.
But it is a great satisfaction
to know that you have bulged
the population of the United
States fine mflrg, any\y$y,
whether you fill the presi-
dent's chair or not. Then
you thinjc wquld an In-
dian look in the house or
senate. One thing is sure he
will look no worse tft^n Cur-
tis of kansas or Logan in
his time, We received the
papers that takes them off of
us the same day that Roose-
velt and Parker had the buck
ague, election day, and cpuld
have voted for them had we
voting precinct handy.
There was a vote lost that
might have done the most
good to the greatest number,
but we said within ourself,
Indian like,'hedditeg chee,'
which is to say, 'keep an eye
on us next time.' Now.
there are other advantages
added to the man with the
restrictions removed. One
is he has something to sell
now where he did not before,
not land, but a solid vote
that will bring him a few
dollars as long as he lives
without muoli struggle, his
vote being as valuable as
either that of Roosevelt or
Parker, and again one will
naturally draw attention
nate as to have ft slab of mar-
ble placed over his head.
Take it all in all as far as we
have gone, it looks as if it
might be a good thing to
take the restrictions off of
every man's land,''
A Rich Man's Folly.
From the Rochester D^mo
crat and (■ h i onicle.
Rich men some times do
very queer things with their
mflnqy. One of the queerest
in the Chronicler's exper-
ience was the establishment
and maintenance of an art
gallery in a wilderness. 'jThere
was once a little way station
on the New York & $ew
Haven railway some forty
miles out of New York.
About two trains ^ day
stopped there. A rp^d fun-
ning north and south crpssed
the track? just jye§t pf the
station. Jf you fqllpvyed this
road south f 'om the station
for a mile qr so you would
pass half a dozen dwellings
and finally reach the Boston
post road near a point at
which a gpneral store, a
church and a flagstaff were
gathered together, the center
of the scattered little village.
If you went northward from
the station you would find
the road degenerating into a
merp cart track running
through woodlanfl. Why it
existed or whither it led the
Chronicler never discovered,
though h® knew that coun-
tryside well for a depflde.
Nobody lived beside it and
very few used it. By the
side of the road, in a clearing
in the woods, a couple of
miles from the railroad
stood a big, substantial, pub-
lic institutiony looking man-
sard-roofed building, of red
briok with white marble fac-
ings, There were ordinarily
no signs of life about the
plaoe. This' oitified" struct-
ure standing in its patch of
unkempt fallow, ajl weeds
and rocks, unfenced, with
undergro\ th-choaked forest
all about it, was a most in-
right side up among the mul-
leins seemed the mo$t rea-
sonable theory to account for
its presence. The unreason-
able truth was th^t it had
tj«!en built there tp be a pub-*
lio art gallery by a wealthy
Western New Yorker whose
sanity was never queisetioned
so far as the Chronicler
knows.
Tho official returns show
that Roosevelt's plurality in

A special from Washing-
ton in Wichita Daily Eagle
of Dec. 7, says: ' lb is de-
veloping here that statehood
for Oklahoma is m^oh nearer
consummation thap anyone

tion is to the effect that the
senate committee which has
in charge the Han^lton bill
contemplates making a fav-
orable report on the measure
before the holidays and that
the senate will pass the
measure speedily and that
Oklahoma's long fight fpr
self-government will be over
before the new year. The
Hamilton bill passed the
house last session and is now
before the sena'te commit-
tee. ':
Statehood for Oklahoma is
bound to come.
