ceptlon Will be seen. and means of trans
porting merchandise from city to city,
and OF facilitating travel from shore to
shore at present undreamed of, will be
in operation. Ship-canals like that across
the isthmus of Tehuantepec will be null
tiplied, in which the motive power, as on
the great ocean carriers, will be electric

The fact that the Cheokee title to the

sary that the land shall be opened to set

reach that result The claim of the In
plete one. At the best it implies little, if
anything, more than right Of way for
special purposes, and not ownership in
the legal and ordinary sense of the-term.
The tract has never been occupied by
these claimants, nor have they ever ex-
ercised real jurisdiction over it. They
have merely asserted an interest in it by
virtue of certain treaty Stipu-
tended to have the effect of a perfect
and permanent grant. II they choose to
fall back upon this bargain and antag
onize the government in its efforts to
deal amicably and literally with them,
they will soon ascertain that they are
attaching too much Importance to their
alleged title. Congress will not be dis
posed to let them profit by proceeding
clearly intended as an extortion, when
in fact they ought to be well content
with the sum which the government is
willing to give. In declining to part
with the land under voluntary and
pleasant conditions they will simply
compel the government to take arbitrary
action, with the certainty that at last
their claim will somehow be cancelled
in the interest of white citizens. They
have nothing to gain by obstinacy or
diplomacy. The matter is a very simple
one and they should be able to see that
the wise thing for them to do is to make
terms with the commission as soon as
possible. The act otherwise will only be
to invite trouble and loss.

THE CHEROKEE STRIP MATTER

The Globe-Democrat serves notice on
the Cherokees to come down off their
high horse or they may be knocked of
by Uncle Sam. The appended editorial
might be read with profit BY Chief Mayes:
1t begins to look as if the Cherokee
Indians would not consent, after all, to
surrender their claims upon the tract
known as the Cherokee strip. They
have heretofore manifested a willing
ness 10 do so, and congress accordingly
authorized a commission 10 adjust the
terms of the proposed transfer; but now
they seem inclined TO assume an attitude
of opposition to any kind Of trade. 1t
is very certain that their leading men
who were in Washington last winter to
project their interests did not make any
objection TO the legislation In the case,
and did not intimate that they would re-
fuse to enter into negotiations for the
sale of the land. While they did not
say absolutely that sale was desirable
on their part. they did give
congress 70 understand that sach
was their feeling; and their present Do
sition, therefore. is practically breach
of faith. They hope, very likely. 10 get
a better price by postpouing the negotia-
tons and taking advantage OK the IN
creasing clamor for hon,esteads; but they
will be disappointed. The government
is willing 70 pay them fair price, but

in New York gives practical demon
stration of the incident, related in the
long-time-ago spelling book. that took
place between the farmer and the LAWYER
concerning a good OK. Both the Edison
and Westinghouse people have insisted
all along that their systems were not
dangerous TO human life by person

southern and southwestern Kansas is
destined TO be the great cattle and hog
producing section Of the future we quote
from the Medicine Lodge Index the fol-
lowing item showing the shipments
from that county BARBER for last week.
The Index says: Colonel Eldred last
week sold his fat steers. the ones he fed
here, to Thomas Hutton, getting, it is
said, about S51 each for the 15S head.
They viii average about 1915 pounds.
With 100 hogs. they were shipped Satur-
day night In the same train r. N.
Sparks shipped from Sharon 143 hogs.
Monday night Mr.. Sparks shipped two
loads of cattle and two of hogs Since
the first of May Mr.. Sparks has shipped
nearly 400 Barber county hogs. This is
getting 10 be q feeding center, and the
result Is that money matters are getting
easy here. Similar reports come al
most every day from other counties with
in the section referred 10. The simple
statement of the facts and conditions
mentioned in these reports is the strong
est and most favorable commentary
upon the country from which they come
that could possibly be made.

A DEFENSE OF THE AMERICAN JEW.
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
l think that Mr.. Peter Jones modesty
quite overcomes him when he says that
he is llliterate; and do you know that
entertain an idea that Mr.. Peter Jones,
to use vernacularism, has been ''done'
by Jew, and for that reason Mr.. Peter
Jones is unfair for judging whole race
by one or two individuals. Why doesn't
MIR. Jones draw the line at the American
jew or the English Jew? And l wouldn't
hesitate to ask any fair minded person
whether the Jew, after generation of
development in this new world, is not as
desirable a citizen as men of other races?
II is question of preference whether
| would choose the character of Shy
lock or that of Lady Macbeth. The
American Jew hasn't any barefooted
children running about the streets: the
American Jew educates his children; the
American Jew never invests his money
IN corner liquor saloons, and if the
American Jew has any unsocial attri-
butes, he certainly has as much love for
art, literature and music as his Christian
brothers. JESSEL L. GREENBAUM.
