does not when he is holly pursued,
make for the Indian territory.
And vet the prospects are that the
government will go on dillydallying
with the Indians down there till doom's
day. There is but one way to correct
the evil spoken of. The territory must
be opened up to settlement, the Indians
must surrender Their autonomy as gov
ernments, and the domain must become
state. That is the only way to drive
the murderous element out with which
the Indian country is ovegfiowing.
The Dawes commission was unsuc-
cessful in persuading the Indians 10
take their lands in allotment. The In
dians met them with Indian obstinacy
at every point. 1t is said that they viii
make a report for compulsory allotment
at the next session of congress. If they
do, their report is sure TO be fought by
the force OF sentimental New England
ers who are always lying in wait for a
chance to get up in congress and defend
the supposed interests OF the noble red
man.
And it seems that the present Demo-
cratic administration is not friend to
the white settlers. It would not listen
to statehood even FOR Oklahoma, and
now it has expressed its intention of
sending that murderous old scoundrel,
Geronimo, and his bloodthirsty gang of
kpaches into Oklahoma. 1t was not
necessary to settle him In Oklahoma. 1t
was not policy or humane TO put him
into wild spot so much like the one in
which he first committed his depreda-
tons.
The old rascal may not do anything
in the numbering line, but he Is an I'M
comfortable neighbor to have and there
are enough Indians in the territory, as it
is, now,
The original idea of putting the Indians
of into domain by themselves was no
doubt originally a philanthropic one.
The Indian had been driven from lands,
which, although he did not display an
ownership, still he occupied in way.
IL was believed that it was no more than
justice to HIM to set apart a tract for his
exclusive use. But the men who did
that did not foresee that civilization
would finally surround that tract and
they did not expect that the Indians
would rear a nest and a refuge for rob-
bers, murderers and desperadoes.

We could think of but one way To-

AN INRUMANE GOVERNMENT.

The question which arises most in
the minds of the people in Oklahoma is:
why can't the government do some
thing TO stop the awful epidemic Of
crime in the Indian Territory
Ii is stated authoritatively that during
the month of August there were COM
mitted N the confines of the Indian ter
ritory twenty-lhree murders. This APP
peats more horrible when It is remem-
bered that this percentage Is not de-
creased much for every month in the
whole year.
Il IS an outrage for the government to
allow IL 10 continue. The good people Of
Oklahoma, law-abiding and peaceful,
are forced to be neighbors of this dan
gerous condition, and that dangerous
element which enEenders il. There is
not q murderer or rCbber in Missouri or
Kansas or Nebraska. q II Texas VINO

That the United States is owned bv
the many rather than the few is fully
established by a recent report of the
census bureau. This is the first time the
bureau has made an investigation of
this kind and it reveals the fact that
4, 676, Ia families reside on farms, 66
per cent OF whom own their own farms
In the cities of 100, 600 and over 81 per
cent own their homes. Syndicates and
monopolies may own and control large
corporations, but the lands and houses
are owned and controlled by indisid-
uals, which is one of the leading features
of the difference between this and Euro
pean countries.

Buffalo, N. Y, as follows: 81 Yves sick two
years with falling of the womb and leucor-
rhRa previous to taking your medicines. /

scription, and was entirely cured of both in
six months it is four years this month,
since was entirely well Of both those dis
eases and have never had any signs Of their ap-
pearance since and am satisfied the Favor
lite Prescription saved my life, for l could
hardly walk around wheu | commenced
taking that medicine and think it is Gods
blessing to me that took it.
I was pronounced incurable by the best
doctors here in the West. | gave up all
hopes and made up my mind that | was to
be taken away from my husband and baby
Of two years old. / was sick all Of the time
could not eat anything at all. In one week,
after beginning the use Of the FavOrite Pre-
ScriptiOn' my stomach was so much better
that could eat anything could see that
was gaining all over, and my husband then
went and got me six bottles / took three of
them and my stomach did not bother me eny
more.
We sent to you and got the Peoples Com
mon Sense Medical Adviser, and found
my case described just as I was: we did
what the book told Us, ip every way !; in one
months time l could see l was much better
than had been !; we still kept on just as the
book told us, and in three months | stopped
taking medicine, and to-day, can proudly
say am a well women, yes, am well, strong
and healthy.
When l began to take your medicine my
face was poor and eyes looked dead. 1 could
not enjoy myself anywhere, was tired and
sick all the time I could hardly do my
house-work, but now do that and tend q
big garden, help my husband and take in
sewing"
