VINITA. IND. TER.. MAY 28.
There is a condition in Vinita
that the Chieftain regrets exceed-
ingly to mention and have it go
out. But it is bo patent and ho
palpable that it ought to be agi-
tated that it maj be overcome and
changed for the better. There are
people in our town who have
come here to etay have the caeh
to purchase property and many
of them are able to go into bus-
ineBS. But there is no property
for sale. A decent resident lot in
Vinita is a hard thing to purchase
they are here in plenty but not
for sale. A store room or an of-
fice cannot be found for rent or
sale. Say! do you know that
there is a constant stream of peo-
ple leaving Vinita ? Persons who
come and look around and are not
given an opportunity to purchase
in fact everybody refuses to sell.
Do you know that there are more
than five hundred vacant resident
lots within the city limits and
less than half a dozen of them for
sale? Men who have not been in
Vinita one month are contributing
money to the railroad bonus and
would subscribe a per cent of their
property if they could get some
ons to sell them some property.
The situation is becoming danger-
ous and threatens to swamp the
place present and future. People
who want lots upon which to
build homes must have them
this outward flow must stop or
there is going to be trouble.
For Single Statehood.
The single statehood executive
committee of Oklahoma and In-
dian Territory has just issued a
call for a statehood conventiqn to
meet at Shawnee on June 24. The
convention is to be composed of
800 delegates evenly divided be-
tween the two territories. They
will decide whether there shall
be a convention called to frame a
constitution for the proposed state.
Much interest is felt in the single
statehood idea in both territories.
It Is reasonable to expect that the
meeting at Shawnee next month
will be largely attended.
Of course the persons who want
a union of the two territories as
one state have sense and practic-
ability on their side. That is the
sort of measure which will pass
Congrecs. The separate state-
hood idea is favored by the poli-
ticians. It would bring twice as
many oflices as the single-state-hood
plan. There would be a bet-
ter chance lor every aspirant to
get some sort of a post. The pol-
iticians have been booming the
eepaiate statehood scheme for two
or three years They are anxiouB
for victory now as they ever were
but they lack the easy confidence
which they displayed a year ago.
It was the separate statehood
men who defeated the movement
to get Oklahoma admitted last
winter. A large majority of peo-
pie of the two territories want un-
ion. On the basis of union the
territories would have been ad-
mitted last winter without a con-
test. The separatists were op-
posed to that and as a conee-
quence the aepirations of the peo-
ple of the territories were defeat-
ed for the time. Ex-Delegate
Flynn told his friends in Okla-
bonia a few months ago a vital
truth when he said that single
statehood for the two territories
was the only hope which they
would have for admission this
winter. lie was in favor of sepa-
rate statehood at firet but he saw
that the majority of Gongreif was
against that idea anri he ar jepled
the inevitable. The single state-
liood convention at Sjbawnee next
month will be able to present these
points with frCB- U is a eafe

The Great Newspaper of the Great
West.
In inviting attention to the merits
of the Kansas City Star It seems prop-
er to point to a few facts demonstrat-
ing its very great success as a news-
paper. The Star Is thelargest customer
of the Kansas City post office. Last
year it paid Uncle Sam over $58000
for postage. Though it receives daily
the full news reports of the Associat-
ed Press the greatest newsRatherlng
organization in the world It receives
in addition such an abundance of
special dispatches that it is the
largest patron of both the Western
Union and Postal telegraph com-
panies in Kansas City. It consumes
1500000 pounds of white paper a
month. It is printed upon Ave great
Quadruple Perfecting Presses the
largest equipment of newspaper
printing machinery In the United
States west cf Chicago. Such facts us
these Indicate large revenues and
vast expenditures. To print In Kan-
sas City the seventeenth city in size
in the United State!- a newspaper
which is not outranked by any other
anywhere as is the fact in the case of
The Star is an achievement that is
only possible when the friendship and
appreciation of the reading public is
attracted and maintained upon a
trreat scale. A multitude of readers
making the advertising space valuable
to merchants and manufacturers and
thereby producing the large revenues
necessary for the expense of publish-
ing such a paper can be obtained
only by years of persistent endeavor
to improve and develop the publica-
tion to the utmost limit of its possi-
bilities. That in brief has been the
history of the Kansas City Star.From
the day It earned its first profits It
has steadily turned back its revenues
Into Improving Its quality and scope.
Tbis policy consistently adhered to
for tenty-two years has brought its
reward. The Kansas City Star is now
unquestionably the Great Newspaper
of the Great We-t. It has a larger
circulation in proportion t'- the pop-
ulation of the city in which it Is
printed than any oilier newspaper.
Its daily circulation Is above 105000.
It was the first newspaper to give its
readers a full week's issue delivered
by carrier seven days for 10 ceuts. It
was the first to establish a weekly ed-
ition for 25 cents a year. The Weekly
Star containing the concentrated
news of the world and good reading
for the whole family has over 225000
paid-in-advance subscribers. The
