There will bo i statehood con-
vention in Muskogee on August
21s. that will register what the
200000 Negroes of the Indian
Territories desire when we get
the blessed boon of statehood.
The 200000 Negroes in the
two Territories will he a worry
to the cusses who have done all
in their power to keep that fact
from being known at Washing-
ton and from this time on we
propose to cam) on the trail of
those devils be they Democrats
or Republicans. If that be treas-
on make the most of it.
The prohibitionist who joined
in with the democrats to keep
the Negro out of the convention
and who drew the color lino on
the public or free ice water lab
oiling one for Negroes and the
other for whites will be abroad
in the land looking for votes in
the very near future and then
"Oh Lord of hosts be with us
yet. Lest we forget."
That gang of Democratic poli-
ticians who met at Oklahoma
Oily was afraid to admit a Ne-
gro because in their infernal
prejudiced minds they thought
each Negro had a Hamilton IB ill
in his hip pocket ready to spring
on the convention in the form
of a resolution. This would
have been as unwelcome to the
average delegate as to have re-
quested that he take a drink (of
water) which would have been
an insult.
The reply of the Cimeter to
those pe p!o who feel insured on
account of the bringing to light
their inunorality is that we
h:ve more respect for the street
walker who is fined every Mon-
day morning than we have for
the immoral cuss be they
preachers or other persons who
parade themselves as christians
and paragons of virtue and hon-
esty but who are "full of dead
men's bones" and as rotten as
hell morally and otheiwiso.
nouncod an invention. Hous-
ton Witness.
If that place is not next door
to hell then we miss our guess.
The only surprise is that it was
rumored that a reward of six
bits was offered for members of
the mob. Presumably that the
devils might be given a banquet
The Negro should always be
prepared to send these out-laws
to boll and there they can get
tho proper banquet with brim-
stone on the side.
Tho morbid desire of some
colored women to sit around
tho court room when cases are
being tried that bring out the
degraded an immoral acts of a
defendent is disgraceful and hu-
miliating to every colored mem-
ber of the bar. Wo have seen
this and wondered why it waa
the husbands and fathers would
permit such to be. Last weik
the yam Marrow rape cast.1 was
being heard and aside from the
witnesses who had to bo there
there wire at least twenty col-
ored women young and old who
remained in the Court room du-
ring the trial drinking every
word of the testimony as
though their life depended upon
hearing it all no matter how
disgusting the details might be.
It may not be right for a hus-
band to thrash his wife but we
would look the other way if
woman (aside from the wit-
nesses) who was there had been
druged ut by her husband
brother or father and given for
ty lashes.
Gov. Lanham has ottered
$200 reward for the arrest of
Sank Majors the Negro accused
of beating a woman near Waco.
The governor offers tho reward
notwithstanding Majors is im-
ported to have been lynched.
The rumor that a reward of six
bits ahead will be offered for
the lynchers has boon pro-

tiankor Bigelow is working
his pull in the Leaven worth
penetontiary. His head was
not shaved as is the case with
all other prisoners. lie was giv-
a prison suit with the serial
numher 4017 hut he kicked at
this and s lid he wanted a navy
blue suit like those of the offi-
cers lie was promised a blue
suit in a few days. lie gets
three big drinks of Anderson
county whiskey every day and
that is more than the Mayor of
Muskogee can boast of getting.
Democrat.
lie must have a pull. We
remember some years ago a Ne-
gro was sent from Muskogee
to the pen for five years for dis-
posing of intoxicating liquor.
He served his time. There was
no pardon or good time for him
and yet there have been Indians
and White who went from here
for larceny who were pardoned
for tho asking but this was in
the good old days when things
were runed differently in the
district that is now known as
the Western district. There
must have boon something
wrong in "Denmark" or was it
1 merely a coincidence.
