not have bee nsinecrc when he said
he did not know the color of Dr.
Hill and if he did not know his color
he did not show his manhood or try
to follow the example of the Presi-
dent when he withdrew his recom-
mendation when he did find out that
Dr. II ill is a colored man.
It looks like the Statehood bill in
so far as the Indian Territory and
Oklahoma is concerned is a sure
winner and that the new Mate of Ok-
lahoma is a certainty.
There will Ik a h-st ote on the
Matehood bill vt Friday and it is
the earnest desire of uwj eilien of
the Indian Teintory tliat we get out
of the present eondiiou of Territory-
hood anil come into statehood in tin
ear of 1006.

around. Mis lucky star i. in the as-
cendancy and at the ptisait 'rate'Col.
Douglas will be left far in the rear in
his strenuous lijihl against the "Mys-
terious Stranei."
The Cimetcr s-till live and in spite
..i the ungratefi'l misfit who have-
conspired to arrange for our death
ttill continue at the. old stand for the
nsuing year and if the old man does
not "fall by the wayside" will con-
tinue for the 'future. ' '
Frank Reed's great independent
aggregation conwned on Wednesday
night and there vcrc present by ac-
tual count seven uii including '-
Sims who di'livrm' an impromptu
harangue agaiiM 'he Republican
party: at this -point an old soldier
v ho was present tkil leaving i pa-
iriots to organi'e the meeting.
We are in favor of doing even and
cact justice to all men regardless of
ace color fir party affiliation but
vr can't see how a Republican paper
like the Phoenix can say such things
about Mayor Rutherford as it does
and then oppose him for anything he
might desire in a political way. Is it
possible that the Phoenix is about to
jump the fence and get on the other
ride of the political fence?
If some of the cusses from the In-
dian Territory who are now at Wash-
ington trying to play the statesman
act would come home it would be
better for all the folk.- at home who
desire something done for the Indian
Territory and for our town. Musko-
gee has received more subs from pre-
tended friends than ary other town
in the Territoiy and these thrust'
come from designing politicians time
servers and political montebanks who
would trade their uy souls for a
"mess of pottagi."
The appointment of Dr. . I'.eon Mill
of P.oonville Mo. as a member of the
pension boaid of examiners for
Cooper county located at Koouville.
Mo seems to hae brought the color
question again to the front in that
section of Missouri. Mr. kius upon
whose recommendation Dr. Mill was
appointed if report- are true has
withdrawn hi- recommendation. Mr.
Akius as the member of the Republi-
can committee from Missouri could
The fellows who believe that bolter-
who conic back will receive the
preference over those who have al-
ways been loyal are now organizing
independent political clubs.
Clark Gordon Sims the Gold ltond
Hank et al have taken part with C.
Uashful Douglas in the charges filed

is to the whites.

Frank Reed is chairman of (he po-
litical bastard club just organized
and Clark is secretary. This is a pair
easy to beat. Frank is to make the
noi-e ami Clark to record same. It
is a great scheme of the two plotters
for the spring campaign.

'I here are several candidates for
major and city recorder on the Re-
publican -side and we presume the
Democrats will also have several and
then the independents can ply their
trade to perfection. The hungry horde
are scenting the batt'e afar.
Gordon and his followers who
claim the negroes have revolted
against the Muskogee Republican
Club are in the hands of C. J. Jones
and Dr: Sims dr.ubtlcss who are
evidently behind the new daily. The
only revolt we have heard of is that
of Frank Reed Sims and Jones. Gor-
don of course is a dodger and Clark
just got here jesterday.
The Santa 'Fe R. R. gets entrance
into Muskogee over the Midland Val-
hy. This is auothci great R. R. sys-.
item for Muskogee and means much
for our town. With four great trunk
'Sues and others trying to break in
the future as a railroad center looks
bright.
The Gold Bond -Bank paper comes
out with an article with the headline
of "Negro Leaders Revolt" and
names Frank Reed only as a revolt
I We always thought Frank was a
'leader but neer knew that he had
the attribute of being leaders (plural)
but since Dr Suns paper says it s.
true we guess they are right.
Niblack a member of the Okla-
homa legislature has introduced a
bill to eliminate negroes as office
holders. Of course Nib is a Demo-
em and jet there are negroes who
will assist thee devi's into office and
make excuses for them. We have
some of this kind of political misfits
in Muskogee who are now planning
organizations to help our old enemy
Democracy by fooling the ignorant
negro. Any kind of a Republican is
better than Niblack and his black
henchmen who organize independent
clubs.
