CRIME GOES UNCHECKED.
A special to the Kansns City
Times from Oklahoma City con
tains the following:
Indian Territory papers are pre
dicting that insiiln of th tee months
the Territory will aiiain be the
refuge of all outlaws and fugitives
from justice. There is precious
little law now in some parts of the
Territory, nnd if mat'eiw get much
worse every man will have to look
out for himself. A very large per
cent of the people are law abidiug
and deprecate lawless acts. l!ut
they can not afford to condemn
mibdemeanors too strongly, when
it seems to them that many acts
which are classed as misdiujeanors
are Just and proper.
The Indians have good cause to
complain of the law. Their lawyers
iau hardly keep up with the dilTcr
ent constructions. The Curtis bill
is supposed to be the law, but
w en an Indian agent wants to do
something he can find some clause
in some old law that was not re
pealed that will, accoiding to his
construction, justify hi act.
If a man should be killed in au
incorporated towu, the city mar
shal has authority to make arrest
and gather evidence against the
innrderer. If a man should be kill
ed outside of au inco porated town,
Ins neighbors bury the body, nnd
when a deputy marshal comes along
they tell him all the circumstances
ttiey know. The murderer may have
reachod California before the
marshal hears cf it. The mrrshal
may or may not investigate the
case. In a large number of cases an
investigation is useless because
there is no means of making it
thorough
The comptroller of the currency
has heretofore been allowing mar
shals and deputies certain fees for
their work, but now lie has revers
ed hiusolf and decides that onlv
Arkansas fees are to be allowed.
These fees, in some instances, would
not be a tenth part of the cost
which the marshal would incur in
carrying out the law, and, of
course, the marshal does not wirth
to lead himself down with work'
that costs niore than he gets out of
it. In lapital eases and i! legal in
troducing or selling whisky, the
more liberal fee is still allowed,
but in cases below capital offense,

the fees, being reduced, will cause
marshals to ceaso making arrests.
All warrants for arrest below
capital ofteses aro being called in.
A Scotch divine took or'j of his
parishioners to task for his non
attendance at kirk; the man said:
"I dinna like lang sermons" The
parson, with some wurmtb, re
plied: ''John, ye'll dee, and go
to a place where ye'll not have
the privilege of hearing long or
short sermons." "That may be,''
aid John, "but it winna be for
lack of parsons."
The work of propagating the
single statehood idea is going
merriy foward'and tbpre seems to
be a remarkable unanimity in the
Chickasaw nation on the ques
tion. The movement has been
fairly launched aud enough has
been beard from the advance let
ters sent out to jastify the belief
that a convention call will be de
manded by an overwhelming ma
jority. Sucb a meeting as is pro
posed will have influence on con
gressoinal action . Ardniorite.
Organization of all description
in the territory will wield a power
in congress to give this territory
relief. The press association of
the territory should be strength
ened and thus be enabled to con
centrate on some plain of action.
Let the action be political as it
will, bat totally void of party. It
matters not who is elected by
united action, on that line, we
can gain oar points. Tartj poli
tics to this territory is a boo-doo.

STATEHOOD MOVEMENT.
Ardmoreite: Jndge Bradford
has retorad from Oklahoma City,
where he went Sunday to confer
withsinirle statehood leaders of
?that territory.
In conversation with the re
parter this morning Judge Brad
sord spoke very enthusiastically
of the outcome of the conference.
He stated that tne meeting was
non-political, both republicans
and democrats being present, and
that the interest manifested was
strong and gives promise of a
thorough organization in the
statehood campaign about to be
launched.
The preliminary plan adopted
is to issue a circular letter in ad
vocacy of the movement and re
questing the use of the names of
recipients to a call to be issued
later for a Joint convention. It
is the intention to hold the con
vention between the 1st and 10th
of December so that the plaus
adopted by the convention may
be urged on the attention of con
gress early in the coming session.
Judge Bradford says that the
leaders of the movement in Okla
homa are anxious for the people
of the Indian Territory to work
in the lead in this movement, be
cause it is here that the greatest
opposition to the movement will
be encountered. They want the
convention held in the Indian
Territory, preferably at South
McAlester, and are willing that
the officers of the convention be
selected from the Indian Territory
delegates. In fact, the idea is for
the Indian Territory to take the
lead, whiie Oklahoma comes in
merely as an active supporter of
all plans to ameliorate conditions
here and hasten statehood for the
two territories under one govern
ment. The circular.letters will be is
sued in a few days and then the
campaign for single statehood
will be fairly launched. Judge
Bradford seems very confident of
the success of movement Wag

It is comfortable to be an ego
tist. Sow there is old Grover
Cleveland. He thinks the Ameri
can people are sitting up at
night thinking knots in their
brains puzzling over which way
be voted.
