Judge Rogers Views on the Indian
Problem.

Problem.
The st. Louis Republic, on Wed.
nesday, had the following inter-
view with the Judge:
Judge John H. Rogers, of Fort
Smith, Ark, arrived ut the Planters
yesterday. Judge Rogers was for
several years the Representative Of
the Second Arkansas Congressional
District, and upon his retirement his
name was frequently mentioned in
connection with the Attorney General
ship of Mr.. Cleveland's present
Cabinet. Talking with q Republic
representative last night concerning
the condition of affairs In the Indian
Territory, 10 which his legal practice
frequently carries HIM, Judge Rogers
said:
II believe that the happiest posi-.
BILE solution Of the Indian question
would be- to convert the territory OF
the Five Tribes into one State. It
would be beneficial, not only to the
white men. but to the Indians rs we'll,
and would do away with much Of the
confusion that prevails there now. I
do not look with favor upon the
proposition. recently advanced, t.,
combine the territory Of the Five
Tribes with Oklahoma in one common
wealth. Such an action would doubt
less be welcomed by the residents of
Oklahoma, but 1t would be rank
injustice to saddle that TerritOry's
indebted ness and misfOrtunes upon
the Indians.
"Senator Dawes, who Is responsible
for the commission now in session
among the Five Tribes, is q man Of
vast experience IN Indian affairs, and
the conclusions Of that body, which
is progressing slowly, but surely, will
necessarily have great effect upon
future Congressional action.
'But the most pressing necessity In
the Territory just at this moment is
the suppression Of la wlessness. The
late distribution by the Government
of large sums of money among the
Indians aroused the cupidity Of the
masterless men of the Territory, aud
the result has been an appalling record
of crime. Next to the suppression of
this evil the greatest need Is an In
crease of the 'rerritOry's judicial force.
There is now but one Judge for the
entire section, and, while he Is u gen.
tleman of great ability and dispatch,
he can never hope to catch up with
the work already laid out for him
No mortal man could do 1t and render
even the senblance of justice. The
docket Of each of the three cour is
where the Judge sits Is filled with
cases, many of them being thus far
without y day set for their hearing.
AT Ardmore, alone. there are over 700
civil cases which have never been
reached, and unless there is an early
appointment of another magistrate.
the wheels of justice will become
alarmingly clogged."
