IT Is but natural that Major Kidd
of the Dawes commission should
have incurred the enmity Of the
land and cattle barons of this terri
tory. This class of monopolists
are especially sore at the major be-
cause OF his exceedingly plain
though truthful talks to the people
Of this country. Major Kidd at
tackled the U. S. court system, by
which prisoners and witnesses are
dragged to Ft.smith at an immense
cost TO the government, and thereby
incurred the hostility Of these court
officials. Kidd is not only the
most active member of the COM
mission, but the one who has dealt
the "Indians for revenue'the hard
est blows. He grasped the situa-
tion here al once and went 10 work
boldly TO help the real Indians
against their opp ressors.

heart to choose between Ross and
Mayes. Sam Mayes represents
the very best element in this coun-
try and Ross represents the most
dangerous.
