good faith made for the purpose of
actual settlement and cultivation
and not for the benefit of any. other
person or corporation, and that he
will faithfully and honestly endeav-
or to comply with all the require
ments of law as to settlement,
residence and cultivation necessary
to acquire title; that he is not act
ing as agent for any person, corpor-
alton or syndicate in making his
entry, nor in collusion with any
person, corporation or syndicate,
to give them the benefit of the land
or any part thereof; that he does
not apply to enter the same for
speculation but in good faith to
obtain a home for himself, and
that he is not directly or indirectly
made, and will not make, any agree
ment or contract, in any way OF
manner, with any person or per
sons, corporation or syndicate, by
which the title he may acquire
from the government should insure
in whole or in part to the benefit
of any person except himself"
''It is expressly provided that
within six months (Which is the
time allowed under the homestead
law after the right to enter the
land is sold, the purchaser shall es-
tablish his residence thereon, and
shall within the time and in the
manner prescribed by the general
homestead law make proof of the
five years continuous bona fide res
idence, occupation and cultivation
thereof and make full payment
therefor before the title passes.
"While there are in all the Indian
reservations 85,872,614 acres of
land, there is but little of such land
that could at once be disposed of
under this bill if it should become
a law but it would provide a gener-
al law applicable to Indian lands
that could be used whenever and as
fast as the Indian title is eXtin-
guished instead of the slow and un-
satisfactory practice that has pre-
vailed of special legislation for
each reservation, by which we have
almost as many different laws as
we have reservations "
"In some only three years resi-
dence aud cultivation is required, in
others it takes five, while in a few
no residence has been required. In
some the old pre-emption law is
still in force, while in others there
is no provision for pre-emption or
communication In some the right
of communication exists after six
months, while in others not until
after four months. In some the
lands are sold to the higher bidder,
and in in other at the appraised
value, but in none less than it costs
the government per acre. This
bill, if passed, would furnish a uni
form law for all reservations, and
at the same time preserve all the
essential principles of the home
stead law, and at the same time
prevent the scandalous frauds that
have characterized other openings
under the race plan"
"It is believed by the committee
on public lands that it is in the in
terest of good government and will

ply to the Kickapoo at all. have
never favored or advised any delay
in the opening of the Kickapoo or
any other reservation On the
contrary l have repeatedly urged
the Importance of the prompt and
speedy opening of all of them, and
especially these in Oklahoma Teri
tory,
l think it unfortunate for the ad-
ministration and for the territory
that the Kickapoo, Comanche, Kio-
wa and Apache reservations were
not opened in time for the settlers
to take part in the election to be
held in November next. Although
l do not like the horse-race military
plan of selecting homes for American
citizens, I cheerfully join in the ap-
peal for the opening of the Kicka-
poo and every other reservation
that is ready for settlement under
existing law, l have never occupi-
ed any other position, and in your
efforts to make it appear that l am
directly or indirectly responsible for
the delay you have done me great
injustice.
In further explanation of the
bill and the motive that Influenced
the committee on public lands in
recommending it, I make the fol-
lowing quotations from the report;
'The fourth section provides for
eight weeks notice, to be given by
the commissioner of the general
land office, containing a general
description of the land to be open
ed, inviting sealed written bids
from persons qualified to enter un-
der the homestead law for the pur-
chase of the right to enter the
agricultural lands which are not
included in any town site"
THE fifth section provides that
the right to make homestead ent-
ry of such agricultural lands not
needed for Indian allotments and
not included in any townsite, shall
be disposed of to the highest bidder
who is entitled to enter lands under
the homestead law, in subdivisions
not exceeding one quarter section
to any one person, at a rate per
acre not less than the price per
acre paid by the United States to
the Indians, one sixth of the pur-
chase price to be paid in cash and
the remainder in five annual in
stallments. Only such persons as
have never had the benefit of the
homestead law, and who are other
wise personally qualified to enter a
homestead are allowed to bid or
purchase at any such sale, and
each bidder is required to subscribe
swear to, and file with the rigister
before his bid is accepted and en-
try permitted the affidavit required
by section 2290 of the Revised Stat
utes of the United States as
amended by the act approved
March 3 1891 (26 Stat. 1098). This
section of the Revised Statutes re-
quires that it must be affirmatively
shown that the applicant who bids
is the head of a family, or is. over
twenty one years of age, and that

"The Republic will not permit the
McRae bill to be passed in the short
session without giving due warning
of it's effects"
Your statement, so far as it re-
lates to the character, scope and
effect of the bill and the interest to
be promoted by it, is not true in
any particular, and there is not a
section, a line or a word in it to
warrant your assumption that it is
in the interest of, or could be used
by, any cattle ring for acquiring tt
tie to such lands, l send you here
with a copy of the bill, Fl. r. 1909,
as it was reported by me from the
committee on public lands to the
House of Representatives on June
2, 1894, and on the same day re-
committed. 1t does not authorize
the sale of any reservation or any
part thereof. AS method of dis
eliminating between two or more
citizens of equal claims upon the
government for homes, who may
want the same quarter section of
land, it authorizes the sale to the
highest bidder, of the right to make
homestead entry of not exceeding
one quarter section to each settler,
upon long time and easy terms. 1t
is)general in its character and was
not aimed at the Kickapoo or any
particular reservation, and the eff
feet of it has not been and cannot
be to delay the opening of that or
any other reservation.
After the passage of the last In
dian appropriation Dill, IN which
provision was made for the opening
Of five reservations under the proc
lamation and race method, and for
the extension of the Communication
provision of the homestead law to
the Cherokee outlet the committee
on public lands authorized me to
so amend this bill as to make it ap-
plicable only to reservations, the
disposal of which may be hereafter
authorized, and to strike out the
last proviso to section five, and

Editor Republic:
In your editorial headed "Open

the 10th inst, you say among other
things: "When the McRae bill to
sell the public lands in the KIckapoo
Reservation at auction was intro
duced, the Republic took occasion
to say it would be found, either be
fore or after the opening, to be in
the interest of the cattle ring,
which maintains an energetic lobby
