great scientific interest, but will, as well,
form the basis OF fact for the solution OF

THE WAY TO OPEN IT.

MULNANE, Nan. April ~, J3.
| To the Editor OF the Eagle.
There has been considerable discussion
pro and con in regard to opening the
| land in Oklahoma. ! wish to express
my ideas in the matter, but first wish to
| reply to John Kelley, who suggests the
drawing of descriptive cards, and if there
be more drawers than cards, or in other
words, for fear there are more drawers
| than pieces of land, to put in blank cards
so that each will have an equal chance.
Now, have no special objection to
opening by the drawing method if it can
be done fair. The government has no
right to ask the people to take chance
of that kind. The thing l most dislike
is the blank card business, which would
be unlawful in every respect.
First. The government could not use
the United States mail in sending those
cards from Washington TO the points
where the drawing is to take place, as
there is law against sending lottery
tickets through the mail.
Second. Would ii not be rather hui.
initiating for the government TO do OPEN
" and above board that which there is a
law against, and is it not wrong for us to
expect the government to do such things.
especially when we are clamoring SO
loud for reforms IN national and state
affairs?
Third. " the government should open
the land by the card system and by using
blanks, there would be more contests
than ever to test the constitutionalty
of the opening in that way.
and there is very strong reasons for be-
lieving the supreme court would hold it
unconstitutional, at least unlawful on
the ground that the government cannot
do through its officers what il Will not
permit its subjects TO do.
Now believe that the proper way Is
to open by drawing land this | disap-
proved at first. Have an office where
each one is required to make cath that
he has the right to land under the law.

tanning cards let party draw Then Iet
