WASHINGTON. D. c., October 27.-Secre-
tary Smith was asked what he should rec
ommend to prevent permanently the law.
lessness and reign of terror that now exists
in the Indian territory. ''Abrogate the
treaties, abolish the tribal relations, estab-
lish a territorial government and extend
the jurisdiction of the United States over
the whole territory" he replied promptly.
The secretary expressed the opinion that
the local self-government of the civilized
tribes was failure thus far. Their legisla-
lures make laws, but there seems to be no
way of enforcing them. Men who had ali
along been opposed to the course he sug-
gested, now say that there was no other way
out of the difficulty. He would see that the
Indians were protected in their property
rights, but he would have the United States
control sufficiently to rid the territory of the
outlaws. If territorial government we're
estab abished, judges would be sent there to
administer the laws and the governor who
was appointed could see that they were en-
forced.
