The following heart to heart
dispatch was sent out from Wash-
ington last Saturday, which
greatly exaggerates the capital
removed feeling in Guthrie. This
city is not losing any sleep over
Beveridge or his little Oklahoma
City capital bill. Our children
will have great grand-children
before Oklahoma City is desig-
nated as the capital of this terri-
tory. The dispatch reads.
"U. C. Guss, president of the
bank of Indian Territory of Guth-
rie, reached Washington yester-
day to join in the fight for state-
hood. Mr. Guss is a member of
the committee of sixteen appoint-
by the citizens of Guthrie to come
here and protest against the re-
moval of the capital of Oklahoma
from Guthrie to Oklahoma City.
The other members ot the com-
mittee are due to-morrow. Guth-
rie citizens suspect that an at-
tempt will be made to amend the
omnibus statehood bill to desig-
nate Oklahoma City as the capi-
tal of the state. The Beveridge
substitute bill located the federal
court of the Western district at
Oklahoma City and it is feared
bv tbe citizens of Guthrie that an
attempt will be made to remove
the capital to Oklahoma City if
the statehood bill goes through
and if not to make^ that place the
territorial capital."
Jig's Up
In the senate last Tuesday Mr.
Dillingham concluded his re-
marks in opposition to the omni-
bus bill and by unanimous con-
sent it was agreed that there
should be no further discussion of
the measure until the senate re-
convenes on January 5. Mr. Teller
wanted to submit some remarks
in reply, he said, to the slanders
on the territories and of Mr.
Dillingham, but other senators
insisted that agreement not to
further the bill should be adhered
to Mr. Morgan of Alabama, criti-
cised salaries paid the isthmian
canal commission. For halt an
hour the militia bill was up. Mr.
Bacon of Georgia, on constitu-
tional grounds, opposing the bill.
Several bills and resolutions were
passed.
From the above report from
Washington it looks very much
like statehood for Oklahoma had
gone a glimmering. By continual
delays and postponements the bill
will finally meet its death through
neglect and indifference.

Doyle Sore.
Thomas H Doyle says that the
Beveridge substitute statehood
bill was almost word for word the
bill written by nim and introduc-
ed bv Congressman Stephens of
Texas in 1900 and which became
known later as the Patterson bill.
Mr. Doyle's knowledge of the bill
enabled him to explain why Ok-
lahoma City instead of Guthrie
was named in the Beveridge sub-
stitute as the seat of the proposed
Western federal court district.
"I had Guthrie written in the
bill," said Mr. Doyle, "and con-
templated no change until at a
dinner given at the home of Dele-
gate Flynn in Washington a dis-
cussion arose over the abolish-
ment of the Perry land office. I
remarked to Delegate Flynn that
as Perry seemed to be gettiug the
worst of the situation I would
strike the name of Guthrie from
the Stephens bill next day and
insert that of Oklahoma City. I
was laughed at, as my being able
to do it was doubted, but the
change was made. Senator Nelson
evidently used the Stephens-Pat-
terson bill without giving
thought one way or another as to
the seat of the Western court dis-
trict. South McAlester and Mus-
kogee were strong rival claim-
ants for the seat of the Eastern
district. Muskogee won because
of her evident desire for single
statehood, while South McAles-
ter lost because of her champion
ship of the Moon bill, a double
statehood measure."
Prohibit It.
The city authorities of Guthrie I
should prohibit the use of sling
shots, bean shooters and target
rifles by boys. A great deal ol
complaint is heard f.om every
section of this city about how
careless boys are destroying and
breaking glass with these weap
ons. The World believes that our
boys should be allowed a great
deal of latitude, but when it |
comes to furnishing them with
instruments with which to des-
troy property this latitude has
advanced to a rank stage. Cut|
these things ou4. by all means.

Will Contest.
The Democratic Territorial
Central Committee held a session
in Guthrie last Tuesday. At this
meeting they decided to contest
the election of B. S. McGuire.
The committee was not a unit on
this proposition, however, but
enough enthusiasts were there to
pull the departing spirit through.
A. G. Garrett and George
Caldwell were fined $15 each by
Police Judge Olsmith for stealing
coal coal in tbe Santa Fe yards.
