PAGE FOUR. [Editor’s Note—The Hon. Charles N. Haskell, the first governor of Oklahoma and the president of the Wyoming North & South Railroad, which is to be constructed across the state this year, has been for a number of years a warm personal friend of Charles W lisher of the Tribune. It is t . Barton, the editor and pub- herefore with great pleasure that the following article from the columns of the Eve- ning Journal of Albany, N. Y., be produced as a tribute to the courage and foresight of the man who is undertak- ing this extensive railroad operation. ] UT of the rapidly ally progressive have come to New ce the | growing and] commerce west | York, the fin: ‘Western hemisphere, more fully, completely ly in those act! unde ps anc intimate classed Doth na of theso m and in view oth thelr pa business themselves of portions that a thetr accumulated Such men. they ma families in wealth of 7 because of the narrow vision and selfishness, even though they may geal for which they strive, will soon be | a inn attain the forgotten | There 1s another typo of men who| have come east from the rugged west | impelled not only b succeed in the acc world’s goods, but all fire with a message to tho whole bus! ness wor'd, born their early expe- riences and their study of the lessons to be learned from observations of their fellows in thelr efforts to attain success in that wonderful and rug country whence spring real men where genuine far-seeing thought and laudable ambition are germinated. ‘These men have learned the lesson that those only derive the really worth-while things from life who have something of the spirit of work and Tighteousness in both business and politics to contribute to Ife for the benefit of others, and, therefore, in- directly and unconsclousiy for their own benefit.

He is a thor- oughgoing American with views of po- Uitical conduct founded on the good old-fashioned principles of justice in dealing between man and man and of righteousness in personal living and thinking, and in relations between so- caed groups of our own peoples and between our own government and those of the other peoples the earth. Ex-Governor Haskell sprang from the middle west. He was born in the state of Ohio, which hus produced many remarkable men in American history including six presidents of the ‘United States. During his boyhood and youth he unconsciously in the pure American atmosphere for} state has become fa- | clear of a man of drank | which his nativ mous and this no doubt exerted al controlling influence on his after life. Possessed of an engaging personality, he easily made friends. These he has kept throughout his carcer because of his stability of character and strict adherence to what appear to him to be the fundamental American ideals. He enjoyed popularity at home among those who made him the first chief executive of the state of Oklahoma and he enjoys popularity elsewhere throughout the United ates, but it is not the kind popularity which seeks merely to please every group of voters. The popularity which he en Joys is the kind which is founded up. on respect.

This is what Mr. Nesbit wrote: ‘The political situation at the begin- ning of statehood was the outgrowth the many sided and various “an. gled" conditions that obtained during t fight for statehood, and the rse interests that arose as soon as the enabling act was passed. The long fight that preceded the: enabling act was anything but elevating to either the Republicans or Democrats.

The Democrats had the advantage of not being responsible for nation administration, which, by the way, controlled all the government of In- dian territory, and to a large extent the government of Oklahoma.

Call the go ernors together and let me talk to them and let's see what can be done The cal was made, and the gov- ernors met, W. H. Murray repre- senting Governor Johnston, who dla not attend. It was affreed at that meeting that a call would be issued for a convention to"write a tonstitu: tion for a state to be made up of the territory occupied by the Five Tribes and that all would abide by the re- sult. can to see The Sequoyah Convention, Sequoyah conyention tory. In tha convention the In- dians expressed . themselves on the atehood question for the first time. Heretofore the, efforts for statchood were those of the whites, C, N.

Hughes of Oklahoma City was a can for sident of the conven. and was being backed by some good men well by some men who were known to be the represen: tatives of corporations that were sure to seek privileges in the organic law. Murray had wired Haskell soon as he learned of his e’ection that he was for the election of the latter for president of the convention. Haskell replied that he was not a candidate and did not want the place. Having worked with Murray in the Sequoyah convention, Haskell decided that Mur- ray would make a good presiding offi- cer, -and very naturally he wanted to use as much of the Sequoyah organi- zation as possible in the organization of the constitutional convention. The Sequoyah convention had or- ganized the Indian territory.. It was the first effort of the people of the Five Tribes to get together in a po- litical way and it had succeeded. With this organization, and the st he could pick out of the territory de‘egation, Haskell {zed the convention and Murray. wi elected president. In. this, organiza. tion Haskell brought together the va- rious factions ofthe two territories and united them.

Haskell never asked anything for himself. He sought the eat for members who had as: place isted him on the comm t a 5, and in- seeing that a constitution was written according to the piedges of the Democrats who had elected all byt twelve of the members. It is only necesary to look over the files of the newspapers of that day to see thut he was the controll- ing spirit of the convention. His name was in almost every column of the papers. He was Cenounced and praised, according to the political pol- icles of the newspapers, One of the first things he did was to offer a resolution to the conven tion as soon as it was organized, fix- ing the status of lobbyists, and pro- viding penalties for those who should violate the provisions. The resolution was adopted. The reservations at the hote’s were released and members were able to get rooms that had bee! reserved for corporation attorneys. Only six members of the convention kad been able to get rooms at the Royal hotel which was then the lead ing hotel of the city. As soon as Has- kell's resolution was adopted, ‘the Royal became the headquart for the convention members. » The Boundary Questi The one great question that dis- turbed the peace of the convention and the tranquility of the state at large was the county boundary and county ‘seat question. Oklahoma ter- ritory had been divided into counties and the county seats fixed before statehood, but in the Indian terri tory there were no subdivisions other than the recording districts, Every town of any pretentions on the east side coveted the advantages of being a county seat. This con¢ition brought about the most intense rivalry, and involving as it did the property in- terests of individuals and neighbor- hoods, it became a seriovs matter ‘be- fore the convention. After the county boundary com- mittees had been trying in vain for many days to find some kind of set tlement, Haskell was appointed on the committee, He ca‘led the members together, went into session and did not come out of that session until the state of Oklahoma had beon divided into seventy-five counties, and the county seats fixed for each county. The committee went immediately bo- fore the convention, and although no report of the committee’s work ha: been written out in .detall, Haskell, with a map and the assistance of Milas Lasater, made a detailed report to the convention, which was adopt- ed with scarcely a dissenting vote in- side of twenty minutes, All this was done within forty-eight hours from the time that Haskell had been ap- pointed to a place on the boundary comm*ttee, To Cetail the many things that he did in driving the work of the. con- nuon through to a final and suc- cessful issue, would fil] a yolume. The details were left to such men as Wi1l- lams, Hayes, King, Rose, Ledbet- ter, and others whg were especially fitted to wark out the many import- ant matters that must fit and join together’ the various sections and chapters of that great act. Haskell was the master workman who direct- ed and guided the convention, giving his best thought and energy to great tasks of holding the elements to- gethor and moulding into concrete form the various an¢. conflicting ‘in- terests of these two varied and oft- times contending territories, Haskell the Man. It was not much wonder that when the work of the convention was f'n- ished and the time for tho consider: ation of officials to execute the laws of the new state, that Haskeli’s name should be on the lips of thousands of people who had followed his career from the inception of the Sequoyah convention to the close of the con: stitutional convention. He disavowed being a candidate for any office. He had been wholly unselfish in the or ganization and work of the conven: tion. Ho had diligently looked after the welfare of other men. He hac never asked for anything for himself, and had times without number re- fused to accept positions from Presl- dent Murray, always prevailing upon the president to name some othep member of the convention. His use- fulness coupled with his distinguished ability as a leader very naturally drew to him the strong men of the state, and very naturally, too; these men saw in him the natural leader'of democracy in the new state. They insisted that he become a candidate for governor. So it was that Haskell became the first, governor of Okla- homa, the new state. For many years corporations of had practically tent aft: hela, the t sitions, the railroads and the t territories controlleé the polit: Their representatives st and most influential po- They had been able to defeat any legislation in the territdPy that the legislative body of that territo: tempted to ct. Their influence reached into every avenue that would benefit them naturally when the constitu- tional wrote the organic law and provided means for controll- ing these corporations, and C. } Haskell w elected governor to en- force the laws, a fight was engend ered that has few equals in the an- nals of the history of states. The con test began even before statehood Holding the leash, the remnants o the old federal regime in the two ter- ritorles, the whole pack was turne loose against everything that the new. order had proposed or estab ished. The last hope was the provailing up Roosevelt to refuse to Issue the Proclamation on the ground that the constitution was not in keep Ing with the constitution of the L ed States. I visited ‘° ena conventon on Statehood gr tions thi ' president, but to all of them he said SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1923. that his attorney general had pro- nounced the new constitution as com- plying with “the terms of the enabling act, and that he would {ssue the proclamation. Remembered by All. The story of Haskell's administra- tion is recent enough to be within the memory of most people. Whether or not the citizens agreed with all that Haskell did, it is well established by this time that he was a great’ gov- ernor. He took hold of the affairs of the new stete when everything was chaotic. Out of the mass of con- flicting interests and ideas, jealoustes, hatred, doubts and fear, he estab- shed a policy for the administra- tion of government that has not been improved upon to this good day. He stood between the people and those Who sought special privileges, He warned the people against extrava- gance in office, and when it seemed that the people did not understand the length to which they were burd- ening themselves, he had the legisla- ture fix a limit to the amount that a county could spend. Economy was the watchword throughout his admin- istration’ and when we look back and see the meager amounts that were ap- propriated for government in the days of his administration as com- pared with those that are being made now, We can appreciate how insistent- ‘y he worked to admin‘ster govern- ment at the minimum amount of cost to the taxpayers. GUVEKNOK HASKELL COMING SPEECH. Declares System of ‘Taxation Must Be Revised, in Masterly Address— Governmental Expenses Should Not Run More Than Two Principal Crops of Nation, He Insisted. Mr. Hask-il spoke as follows: Ladies and Gentlemen, and Mr. Chairman: When I come, to your meeting. with your assurance that the invitation was the unanimous wish of the multitude of the: p-epie of Oklahoma with whom I have lived and worked in former years, and when you tell me that hereafter in the records of time this day will be known throughout the entire State of Oklahoma as ‘Haskell Day,” you can understand that I come with a heart full of the deepest gratitude to you all, remembering the years of earnest effort, wherein we all co-operated to bring into the union a new state buiit upon the best possible foundation that unse‘fish mind and thought could formulate. If mistakes were made by you or me they were recog- nized as honest mistakes, bred of human frasity, and without intent, and among the multitude of things done, if we have a maximum of good things done, if we have a maximum of good results and a minimum of er- rors we can properly: cengratulate ourselves on work well done. We all worked together in the formation of this state to ava'l ourselves of the glorious God-given opbortunities for creating a state, the star of which shoul@ shine in ‘the galaxy of states, and a state which our chil¢ren in generations to come, may love and perpetuate. We worked together, not as partisans, but as fellow citizens, with a common desire for the great- est results. Partisan sentiment and Partisan selfishness did not enter your minds, nor mine, hence, by the name of this day, and the peop'e of Oklehoma, not only compliment me, but intend to include all those whose work of labor and love for Oklahoma may equally share in the honor. so bestowed. Hence I feel that it was meant that this reunion should. be one of the peop'e of Oklahoma and not one of the partisan class. To my Democratic associates you will under: stand that I am a Democrat, an@ when the time comes for defending Democratic principles I pray to be heard.
