The Dawes commission bill is pub
lished today. II will be introduced
as the administration measure and
with that prestige in its favor will
probably be enacted into law. IL
possesses many features of merit,
but we think il is lacking in many
other respects in its efforts to meet
the emergencies OF the situation.
The townsite feature seems to US 10
be quite indefinite as to terms and
we fear IL left as il is, will result in
hardships TO the owners of improve
ments. a minimum and maximum
basis OF valuation should be injected
into the bill before il becomes a law.
That part OF the law relating to allot-
ment is good, il gives the Indian an
opportunity TO take his lands or not
a he sees proper, Of course he will
lose no time in taking them. The
Dawes commission, il will he OBJ
served, has looked out for itself by
perpetua,ing its job. This proposed
bill which short Of what the people
expected, is a long step toward a f.
nal winding up OF the tribal govern
ments and the land tenures as they
now exist.

Deputy Us. Marshal George Smith,
Of the territory was in Gainesville
this morning en- route TO Paris with
one Fred Spencer, whom he will
commit to Jail on a charge OF steal
ing a bicycle. II seems that Freder-

conveyance TO travel over the noun
tains and valleys OF the B. /. T., and
as horse flesh was high in that sec
tion and besides il would cost money
TO feed a bronchO, concluded that

Take no Chances.

Republicans throughout the country should
be on their guard against what Is undoubt-
eddy the new policy Of the Bryanites, which
is to let the presidential election 90 by de-
fault, and make a still hunt for congress.
With the senate already in possession Of
the silverites, bold dash for the house
would, If successful, help their cause amaz
ingly. They would hardly hope to elect
enough members to override veto, but
with bare majority they could do great
harm. Republicans should see to 1t that
these expectations are disappointed. They
should, while paying due attention to the
presidential ticket, keep close watch on their
congressional nominations, and spare no
effort to elect them. To elect Mckinley
and lose the house would not be half a
victory, and the republican party must not
be content with anything less than whole
victory this year. No matter il the charges
made that Candidate Brucker is or is not to
be trusted, 1t is of the highest Importance
that Hon. w. ). Linton be returned to the
house. We all know where he stands upon
the vital issues-sound money, protection
and reciprocity. We can not afford to take
any chances this year. The boy orator of
the Cass must be relegated to the practice of
law at the expiration of his term of Office as

White, Of Marquette. He has been regard
ed as one of the staunchest democrats of the

Bryan or endorse the Chicago platform:

Shepard's Nomination Commended

The nomination of f. M. Shepard for
representative is highly pleasing to the rep
resentative farmers all over the state, who
have learned to rely upon him In their as
ISOLATION and club meetings. The following
from A. G. Bird, a well known writer for
the Michigan Farmer, is to the point:
1.-THE association and all farmers and
practical business men as well are to be
congratulated upon the nomination Of that
active, energetic and conservative farmer,
f. M. Shepard, of Owosso, for representa-
tive in the state legislature. Mr.. Shepard
is leading member of the Burton Farmers
Club, and all association workers will re-.
member his practical address upon County
Expenditures" at our last convention. If
the other political parties of Shiawassee
county do as well in their selection of can
didate no one will doubt the position Of
"The gentleman from Shiawassee," when
the many practical measures of pressing
moment come before the next legislature.
1t is such nominations as this which rejoices
the heart of conservative, practical men.

Don M. Dickinson for Mckinley.

selves for Mckinley and sound money. In
three column interview in the New York

in the strongest possible language the Chi
cago platform. He says:
There is not one single plank or expires.
sion in the Chicago platform that do not
repudiate as democratic doctrine. l regard
it as reasonable conspiracy-a revival of
the South Carolinian treason, which was
stamped out by President Jackson in 1882.
He further says:
In view of this avowed purpose Ito pack
the Supreme Court and In view of the treas
enable declaration against the power of the
Federal government to enforce Federal laws
! recognize the fact that If these men, as
they say, reorganize and pack the Supreme
Court, they can with the same power reor-
ganze and pack the United States army.
And do not these conspirators mean this,
although 1t is not expressed in the Chicago
platform, when they say to us northern
democrats, as they have over and over again,
"The time will come when we will give you
people of the north taste of your own med
icine."
Again he says:
In Michigan party lines are being disre-
garded, and citizens are rallying to the de-
Tense of the country as in war times.
Mr.. Dickinson advises the workingmen of
Detroit to vote for Maj. Mckinley and says:
