HOW A STATE IS MADE,
Not until next Independence day will
the new stat be added to the flap.
The formal work of "making a state
take times and care. First, Indian
Territory and Oklahoma must be divided
each into fifty-five district, from each
of which a delegate will go to the eon
atitutional convention. The election of
delegate will be by proclamation of
the governor of Oklahoma and the sen
for United State judge of Indian Ter
ritory, aijd the proclamation must be
made within six month of the day on
which the President signed the enabling
act. At the convention the delegates
must declare for their constituents that
they adopt the constitution of the
United States and formulate a state
constitution. The state constitution
must contain guarantees of religious
freedom and prohibit polygamy. The
proposed constitution is then to be sub
mitted to the people of the territories
for ratification and at the same time
they will vote for state officers. The
results will be submitted to the pres
ident and if the provisions of the en
abling act are complied with he must
within twenty days proclaim the re
sult of the election, and the state of
Oklahoma "shall be deemed admitted by
congress into the nnion6..fl. .6. .

!! ENFORCE RESPONSIBILITY.
We quite agree with the San Fran
cisco Bulletin, when it says :
"In the case of Mr. Hippie of Phil
adelphia, who eschewed tobacco and
the Sunday papers, and who, like the
Pharisee of old, prayed publicly every
week, is. exhibited a flagrant example
of a criminally negligent board of bank
directors, who should be held respon
sible for the shortage of the charitable
and accomplished defaulter who was
president of the Real Estate Trust
Company. It is no joke to be a direc
tor of such a company. It would have
been penny wise, to say the least, for
these directors to have met al least
once everv year and learned to their
own satisfaction that Hippie's plan for
making away with the funds was to
shift the collateral from one account
to another, to make it appear that cer
tain accounts with no collateral were
secured. That negligent bank directors
and examiners should be held financial
ly responsible for such shortcomings
is a good financial policy and not in
violation of the laws. When a bank
official indulges in the business of 'pro
moting,' he invites those who are legal
ly responsible for his financial deeds
to look into them very carefully. No
bank has a right to lend a dollar to
'promoters' wh0 build cities out of
dreams and turn real estate into gold in
the alchemy of the imagination. 'Pro
moters,' such as Hippie. Stensland and
others, who recall the Hand craze' per
iods of 1850 and 1872. have worked un
told mischief to banking and financial
enterprises in this country. 'Realty
booms' not infrequently are made over'
Into bombs which work a hardship for
which the bank directorship may be di
rectly responsible."
o
SAD, SAD CASE.
"NUTMEG" DEMOCRATS.
The Democrat of Connecticut, in con
vention assembled, handled the question
of public ownership of public utilities
somewhat gingerly, when they declared
for local option therein. That might
be called public ownership with a string
to it. The Xcw Haven "Journal and
Courier (Rep.) show how London ha
been committing herself more and more
thoroughly to that policy with the
result that the tax rate ha been in
creased materially: many large Indus-!
trie have removed their plants toj
smaller places, and taken their em
ploye along, leaving a large amount
of untenanted property on the hand of
owner. This amount to nearly 4
per cent of all taxable property, about
double what it was four years ago,
when the experiment was first put into
practice.
o
PLUCKY CO-EDS.
At vmeennes, Ind., fifty young
women student at the university, cap
tured the member of the faculty,
forced them to dress and to accompany
them to the chapel. The crowd called
tjiemselves the "faculty guards" and
lined up every member of the faculty
except President Ellis, who happened
not to be at home. When the profes
sort had been sent to the platform one
of the girl students explained that the
students wanted promises that poor
lesson would be excused on day fol
lowing entertainments and that more
holiday be allowed. The member of
the faculty promised due consideration
of the demands and after some speak
ing by the students and a parting word
of warning to the faculty, they were
permitted to go. No wonder those In
diana girl get an education.

SURE THING!
One of the Butte newspaper want
to know if that place is always to re
semble a "camp," or if it will one day
become a city. The modesty i sur
prising. Any town which ha an opera
house is a city, of course. An opera
house and a Palace hotel give it in
disputabe title deeds to be called
city by every one, and it should be
a capital offense to accord it a less
dignified name. Of course Butte is a
city. Ex.
