strange bedfellows. In a good

sition.

In a rood many ways Oklaho-
ma is the most remarkable state
in the Union. No other state
has gained so rapidly in popula-
tion. barring the single state of
Washington, which shows a
slightly larger per cent of gain.
Admitted only four years ago
as the 46th state in the Union,
it now ranks as 23rd in point of
population. It has two cities
showing a larger per cent of
gain in population than any other
cities in the Union-Oklahoma
City with a gain of almost 540
per cent, and Muskogee with a
gain of nearly 500 der cent.
No other state has a greater
variety of climate or wider
range of resources. If a wall
were to be built around the state
its people could live comfortable
on the products that could be
raised within the wall. In the
way of building meterial it has
timber, granite, marble, lime-
stone and sandstone. It has vast
deposits of coal, oil and gas. It
has enough asphalt to pave the
streets of all the cities in the
United States.
Speaking generally, it is a
good wheat and corn state,
though there has not been any-
thing to brag on in that line for
the past two years and this year
the wheat crop will be almost a
complete failure.
It is one of the great cotton
growing states of the Union and
so far has almost entirely escap-
ed the ravages of the boll wee-
vil. The population is as diver-
sifted as the i Oil and climate. It
is the meeting ground of the
northern and southern ideas of
government. The Texan came
from the south and the people
from Kansas, Iowa and other
northern states came in on the
north. This has brought on a
political conflict between the
northern and southern ideas and
so far, the southern ideas seem
to have won.
Although there was a clear
agreement when the state was
admitted to the Union that there
should be no restrictions of suf-
frage on account of race, color
or previous condition of servi-
tude, at the first opportunity the.
party in control repudiated the
compact and adopted the
"Grandfather clause" in the
constitution.
There is no pretense that there
is any excuse for this discrimi-
nation except a purely political
one. In the southern states the
excuse is urged that this is nec-
essary in order to keep the blacks
from getting charge of the state
government. As there is less
than 10 per cent of the popula-
tion of Oklahoma colored, there
is, of course, no possible danger
of negro domination. No more
unfair law was ever adopted and
never was an amendment to the
constitution secured by more un-
fair means. —T. A. McNeal, Mail

Pardon
Oklahoma City, Ok., May 28
—Owing to the flood of pardon
applications to the Governor's
office, Gov. Cruce has made a
new rule, strict adherence to
which will be required in the
future.
"Inasmuch as it is impossible
for me to investigate the merits
of the various cases that come
before me," said the Governor,
"where parties are requesting
a pardon or parole, and in order
that no imposition may be per-
petrated by recommendations,
petitions or otherwise, and that
the public may be advised and
given an opportunity to be
heard, I find it neccessary to
make this rule:
"In the future before appli-
cations for pardon or parole will
be entertained by me, the ap-
plicant asking s for same must
publish such intention in some
newspaper of general circulation
in the country where the crime
was committed, for a period of
not less than thirty days and
proof of much application must
be furnished with the applica-
tion."
