You are right; and the minister

THE "PoOR INDIANS. =

The following very sensible
editorial is clipped from the last
issue of the Purcell Register.
Much of the opposition to leg
islation comes from this class of
"poor Indians. The ARDMoRE-
ITE, however, differs with the
Register as to what congress
may do, as we know from ac-
tual experience that without
a strong opposition these "poc r
Indians" are liable to pass such
a bill as outlined. The article
is as follows: 1.-The South Nc
AleSter Capital had quite a
'scary' report of the agreement
between the Choctaws and the
Dawes commission, which was
given it by DIR. ID. Nj. Haley,
who had been at Fort Smith
during the conference between
the commissions. This report
stated that lots i'm townsites
were to be disposed of at their
current value, and the people
of South McAlester were much
worked up over the thought
that they were to he forced to
pay the value given to tine land
by their own enterprise and en-
hergy. But the report sent out
from Fort Smith, on which
there is more reliance to bC
placed than on the statement oi
one who allows his wishes t
tinge his views, says that lot
are to sell at their appraised
value. There need be no feal
of such an unjust settlement O
the townsite question as this
would be. Neither the Dawes
commission nor congress vii
consent to rob those who hav,
bnilt up the towns by the fruit
of their own labors. That thr
gentleman who gave the repor
TO the Capital would like to Sc,
that arrangement made we d,
not in the least doubt. He j

Indians, who has been able t,
rake together a couple of mil
lions of dollars by reason o
present conditions, therefore h
is not ready to have a change
unless the government will Civ

pay for moving his pig pens.
