PROPOSED LEGISLATION.
Delegate Sayers Has Returned From
SItuatIon--Dawes BIZ.

D. d. Sayers, one of the delegates
to Washington in the interest of
townsite legislation, has returned to
his home at Chickasha, and in the
last issue of the Gazette of that
place publishes an interesting letter
bearing on the situation. IL is as
follows
Editor Gazette. Dear Sir:-In re-
sponse to your request, I take pleas
ure in giving to the readers of your
paper my opinion OF the prospects
of proposed legislation affecting this
country now pending in congress.
The concensus of opinion in both
branches o. congress seems to be that
the anomalous, un-American cOndi-
tions existing in this country demand
a change. Chief among the agencies
urging this claim is the much agita-
ted Intruder question" This of it.
self, will compel some immediate
step being taken by congress.
From present indications it is quite
probable that what is known as the
Dawes Bill will become a law at this
session of congress, in which case the
allotment of the lands in severalty,
and the adjustment of the townsite
question viii have been provided for.
This think, will meet with the ap-
proval of both citizens and non-citi-
zens generally in this part of the
country. The bestowment of the
United States citizenship upon citi-
zens, Indians and the abolition Of
the tribal judiciary which are also
provided for, thereby eliminating
many vexed questions, which are en-
countared in the administration Of
justice under the present regime.
Territorial government and repre-
sentations in congress by a delegate,
while not provided for in this bill,
may be given us in a separate bill,
thus avoiding the danger of a veto
which there would be, if these were
part of the Dawes bill.
There is n large and able Indian
delegation in Washington who are
making a valiant fight for their ma
tional existence. They protest alike
against the allotmen of lands in sew
crafty and the settlement OF the town
site question, without their consent.

the arguments made by them before

! regret to say that there is no pros
pect for the early ratification OF the
Commanche-Kiowa treaty. The sec
retary OF the Interior seems to be
playing second to the president in
his attempt to thwart every effort
for the relief Of the great, struggling
West. IL the house succeeds in pass
ing their resolutions OF censure of
Minister Bayard, for some of his de-
rogatory talk it seems to me that
their attention might even be direct
ed to the dereliction Of the Hon.
Hoke Smith in his blunt refusal to
execute a plain and mandatory law
authorizing the opening OF the wich-
ita country. He seems TO have turned

ton Office and is directing all of his

The Fixity Of the Fiddle

For when you come to think of 1t, 1t Is a
curious and bewildering circumstance that.
in a world and In an age where progress is
one Of the laws of existence, the violin
should be today, not only as to form and
all essential details. exactly what 1t was
some 800 years ago. but that 1t Is even now
less perfect instrument than 1t was when
the old masters were warming their glue
pots and mixing their vaunted varnish and
chipping out their blocks of wood in the
little Italian town Of Cremona, now two
centuries back. Mr.. Gladstone has said
somewhere that to perfect that wonder Of
tIavel, the locomotive, has not required the
expenditure of more mental strength and
then you can put the locomotive into the
march of progress: the violin you can't
In this respect 1t stands alone among mu-
Sical instruments.
Flutes have been improved, new types of
clarionet have been evolved. the harpsichord
and the spinet have given place to the
pianoforte. organs have come to be con-
trolled by electricity-everything. in short,
IN the way Of musical Instruments has
tended toward advance and improvement,
while the construction OF the violin Is num-
bered-at any rate by the enthusiasts who
run the fiddle prices into four figures
not. The experience Of centuries and the
ingenuity Of many generations Of skilled
Mechanics have been altogether unavaiIins,
and yiolinists today are content to starve
themselves that they may give hundreds.
nay, even thousands for instruments which
did not produce tens when they first lett

After his nomination yesterday at PORT

form amid loud cheering. He seemed to be
considerably affected by the ovation. He
thanked the convention for the unanimous

been relieved OF the duty of attending to

said:

to be somewhat uneasy and unable to fully
comprehend what they are talking about
you may rest assured they are talking
about the currency. I shall not attempt
fully to explain the currency question to

I'VE often hear that silver was demone-
tized in 1913, stealthily and by the infiu-
ence Of foreign embassies. AS a matter Of
fact the Congressional Record of that date
had 196 columns Of speeches on the silver
question. and the foreign embassies had
nothing to do with it.
