The Lands of the indians,

1t Is doubtful il there is any land held
by the Indians which the land sharks are
not trying to get. There is a proposition
now pending before Congress to provide
the Indian Territory with a territorial
government and to open it to white
settlers. There are also propositions tor
opening about all the reservations in
other Territories for settlement. OF
course the fact is ecognized that the
Ind lans must be provided for somewhere,
but those who want their lands in one
Territory propose that they shall be sent
to another Territory. The fact Is, the
Ind are not wanted anywhere, and If
there were any satisfactory and humane
way FOR getting rid of them it is probable
that it would not require much urging
to secure its adoption.
About ali the good lands in the West
the lands suitable for grazing purposes
are occupied. Millions or dol ars have
been put into the cattle business within
the last few years, and millions more
would be invested in il If there were any
lands suitable for grazing purposes which
could be obtained.
1t will be about all Congress can do aid
ed by the army, to defeat the schemes OF
the land grabbers and land SPECTATORS.
The Indian Territory is now the object of
their operations. Congress mas already
granted to several railroads the
right Of way through the Territory,
and it is proposed to utilize in some
way these grants for getting
foothOld there. The cattle companies
which secured from the Indians leases
of lands for grazing purposes, thought
that they were so firmly established in
the Territory that they could not be
driven out, but they were mistaken. The
very first trouble they had with the In
dams was made the occasion tor driving
them out.
Th1 Indians certainly have some rights
which the government is bound to re-
spect. They have been driven from one
wanted, and the time has come when they
cannot be driven anywhere else unless
they are driven out of the country.
However, 1t is about as certain as any
thing can be that the Indian Territory
Will, at no very distaat day, be opened
for settlement. The pressure in that
direction will be too strong for Con
gress to resist. There will be a show Of
c0mpensating the Indians for their lands
but the amount they will get viii not be
much. They will be DIVIDED constantly
into closer quarters and will finally disap-
pear altogether.

The bill introduced in the Iowa Senate
prohibiting teachers and school officials
from using alcoholic and narcotic stimu-
lants is provoking com ments 10 all parts
OF the country. Some OF the papers sug-
gest that the Iowa prohibitionists should
try absolute prohibition by iOrbidding any
cilzen 70 use sttmulants as we'll as pro-
hibiting their sale. The bill may be too
rtsid. but any one who uses alcoholic or
narcotic stimulants habitually would be
more useful somewhere besides in a school
room.
