'STJIEHOOir ELECTION
They are not through with their
electioa down in Oklahoma yet. The
ballots were all la last night, but there
U certain to be an aftermath. Things
politically h?re not been running smooth
ly (or years down there.Io the early
nineties, D. J. Plynn walked Into ihe
country? he did not have any pull but
wa& a good mixer and was soon elected
to Congress. He got more for Okla
homa in the way of favorable legisla
tion than all the delegates since his
time; did all the people wanted of him.
too, and Incidentally got rich, but in
some way a tignt was ma>le on htm, the
strong republican organization in the
territory was broken and at the elec
tion following Dennis t'lynn's
defeat for renomination the territory
went democratic aud h .is been demo
cratic ever since. The election of
yesterday was held not only t > vote on
officers but the stue constitution was
voted on which may admit Oklahoma
and Indian Territory as one state.
No stale bas a mo e composite popu
lation than have the two territories
that will make the Stale of Oklahoma.
Figures recently printed show that
considerable more than one-third the
inhabitants are natives of other states,
acd if the Indians and half breeds are
excluded the native-born will be less
than one-half the whole number. That
is true of very few states, if of any
of them. It is due, of course, to
. the manner in which the two territo
ries, especially Oklahoma, were settled.
, What is more remarkable, each of
twenty states bu sent more than 2,000
? of its native sons to Oklahoma, while
one other, Minnesota, is represented by
v more than 1,000. Texas leads wltb
aearly 100.000. Kverv Southern Stale
, except Florid* has contributed as much
?s The Northern States are al
most as '.veil represented and '.he Kast
and west have contributed somewhat.
OkBiho.-ua will be the most nonsectional

Maryland, under cover of laws
pretending to nuke literacy th? lest,
but so framed as to leave illiterate
whites untouched, receives no sympa
thy from Governor War field. The Poc
amendment was defeated at the polls, J
but a certain class of democratic poli
ticians is engaged in framing another I
amendment to accomplish the result]
aimed at.
Speaking of the program, Governor
Warfield made the following comnent:
"I am the governor of Maryland? the
governor of ail the people in this stale
?and so long islam in the executive
chair I do nnt ever intend to be a par
tisan as respects the suffrage right* of
the people, nor do I intend that there
shall be placed in the hands of any elec
tion judge or any politician to decide
whether this or that man shall have
the right to csst a ballot. I say this
now, because the time any shortly
coma whea I may have to di?cu?s this
more fully. I am ready at any time to
jrut>8fors the people and give an ac
eooot of ray stewardship and a'so to
[make more clear my stand regarding
the rtgb^of suffrage."
dk>w very much In contradistinction
I to Governor Hoggalt's actions are those
orCBSSHSa Warfield? The Maryland
governor would give the negro the ut
most in the way of suffrage,
while Alaska's present executive would
keep from the intelligent men of th ?
territory tEie most pitiful portion of a
home Wvernpient.

?urn of reform's achievtnients so small
ai to make the laoor -eem grotesque in
its disproportion.
Reform is not ortea decorous. Id
most cases it is animated by passion as
well as by reason, ami then it is always
vociferent. Much of President Roose
velt's success has been due to his abil
ity to make the people vocative. The
rate bill, though cOLceived in reason,
was propelled by clamor. The meat in
spection bill was more entirely the re
sultant of ag iiatioo. It may have been
that in any event we should have a
meat inspection bill, but it w?u d not
have been passed so summarily If It btd
not been propelled by a loud noise.
This is not a justification but rather
an excuse, for noise as a concomitant of
reform. Properly considered, indeed,
it is a a apology for reform: for. as has j
bfen >?id, noise is pission's part in re- j
form. Reason speaks in lower but j
firmer tones. Reform will be both j
edifying and more efficient when it shall
have learned to assert itself with more
composure. Bui if noise makes for
good, let's have lots of noise.
