The Statehood Convention a
Remarkable Gathering.
The best results from tlx*
statehood convention held at
Oklahoma City Wednesday will
come from the fart that it did not
do more. Before the meeting it
was predicted in many quarters
that there was a possibility for
much more harm than Rood It
was feared that the convention
would go off on side issues, or
engage in a hopeless brawl, thus
endangering rattier than abetting
statehood.
but die keynote of the conven
tion waslut rinony, and everything
that would in the least tend to
create discord was placed under
t ban The results of the con
vention will probably not be as
far-reaching as desired; yet, in
future years it will be regarded
as one of the most unique and
remarkable gatherings ever
assembled during the formative
period of the state. The 1,000
delegates went about their task
in us serious and consecrated a
manner as though they were
taking final action on a question
that effected largely the course
of the whole human race. There
was enthusiasm to bo sure, but
there was more of that sober,
dignified, thoughtful conduct
which should characterise a body
facing a great problem.
It is doubtful if there is a state
in the union, or in the world, for
that matter, where a convention
of the size of the one just held
and representing a people whose
rights have been so long ignored
as lias those of Oklahoma and
Indian Territory, could assemble
without taking radical, denuncia
tory action. That the people of
Oklahoma have the spirit of
liberty and the sbirit of the west
in a high degree is known, but
that they have also that broad
cosmopolitan view, that conser
vatism that comes from being
able to look at a question from all
sides, is not so generally known,
although it is possessed here in a
higher degree than in any other
community in the United States,
oklahumuns hail from everystate
and territory and mental breadth
in dealing with public questions
is liecoming a second nature.
The greatest good will come
from the conservative statesman-
like manner in which the dele-
gates conducted themselves,
which must surely command the
admiration of the people of the
older states. The resolutions
are brief, but are an able pre
sentment of the views of most cf
the people of the two territories,
for the people here favor, first,
the itaion of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory as one state, and,
second, the considering of the
claims of the twin territories on
their own merits, opposing the
endangering of our chances
because of conditions in other
territories. All other matters
are considered of minor import
ance. Statehood is the one big
desire.—Guthrie State Capital.
Washington, D. C., July 15 —
Some of the officials at the
Department of Justice intimated
today that the case of Senator
Burton probably will not be
called for trial in September,
but postponed. At that dejrart
ment, as well as at the postofllce
department, doubt is expressed
as to the ability of the govern
ment officials to convict Burton,
and in some quarters the pre
diction is made that he will not
be brought to trial again. None
of the officials here who are
connected with the case will say
openly that they believe the
prosecution will be dropped, but
it is clear that some of them
believe this. Attorney General
Moody recently stated positively
that there would be another
trial, but it is now said that able
lawyers, to whom he referred
the evidence, have expressed the
opinion, in view of the decision
ot the United States supreme
court, that a second conviction
will lie very difficult. There is a
well detined impression here that
the case may be rtwpened from
time to time until Burton's term
in the Senate expires. Tills will
he March 4, 1907.

A careful inspection of the
alfalfa in the immediate vicinity
of Meade tells to the observer
that it needs culture—and needs
it badly. We are of tire opinion
that alfalfa will hold its own with
suit xrasa, June grass or any
other kind of grass if given an
equal chance But there is one
thing dead certain and that is if
these rich bottom lands are kept
to a splendid stand of alfalfa
which means three or four good
crops of hay every year, that the
fields must be thoroughly
cultivated in the early spring and
after each crop of hay is cut.
Whether we are right in our
suggestion or not, a glance at the
fields in the bottoms will tell
anyone that something must be
done —Meade News.
BHton Has Given Bond.
Lawton, Okla., July 18.-J. N.
Hilton, a grocer of Waurika, who
several weeks ago shot and
killed P. A. Cox, a commercial
traveler at Port Worth, Texas,
during a difficulty at Waurika,
gave bond last evening in the sum
of $5,000 and was released from
the county j til.
A young man took his best
girl to church and stopping at
the end of the back pews turned

said the usher with a smile,
"I guess you can, but probably
it would be better for all
concerned to wait until you get
home."—Ex.

Rainfall Remains the Sams.
William fi. Curtis, writing to
the Chicago Record-Herald from
Salina. Kansas, says:
There are many theoriea con-
cerning the increase of the rain-
fall in Kansas. It is the popular
impression that the plowing of
the ground in an arid region is
necessarily followed by increased
precipitation, on the theory that
before plowing the rain runs off
the hard surface ts it would
from a mof, while after plowing
it soaks into the soil and is easily
sucked up into the atmosphere
by the rays of the sun. There is
no doubt that the wild buffalo
grass which covered the prairies
of Kansas with its matted roots
formed a surface as hard and
impenetrable as a slate roof, and
that formerly the water as it fell
froui the sky ran into the gullies
and streams immediately, with-
out soaking into the earth. When
the turf ia turned the thirsty soil
drinks in all the rain that falls
upon it, and the water percolates
through to the clay or bed nick.
There ia no doubt that this
eontributea much to the fertility
of the soil, but there is nothing
to prove an increase of rainfall.
There are records for only a few
years in the western part of the
state, and they are neither
accurate nor complete. The
human memory is very unreliable
also, and it is easy to obtain
plenty of testimony on both
sides. The average annual rain-
fall throughout Kansas for
eighteen years, from 1H87 to 1904
inclusive, so far aa the imperfect
records show, was 27.44 inches.
The average rainfall for 1904 was
32.86 inches; for 1003 it was 26.34
inches; and for 1902 it was 2H 22
inches. The average annual
rainfall for eighteen years in
eastern Kansas was 35.16 inches;
in middle Kansas 26 87 inches,
and in western Kansas 1932
inches. A comparison of yeara
shows great variation, but no
increase. The greatest precipi-
tation was in Greenwood county
and the least was at Dodge
City, Pord county In Wallace
county, in the extreme north-
western partof the state, records
have been kept for twelve years,
which ahow that there has
already been more rain thus far
in 1906 than during anv previous
year since 1904. There were"
also good rainy seasons in 1898,
1895 and 1902. The driest years
were 1903, 1899 and 1901. The
Woodward ia preparing to vote iecord for twelve yeara proves
$60,000 for the purpose of putting that there has been no permanent
in water works. That price 'change one way or the other, and
