SUFFRAGE QUESTIONS.

First-What are the fundamental princi-
pies, succinctly stated, upon which it is
claimed our women ought to have the
right to vote? The same exactly upon
which man bases his right of suffrage; the
one for which Martin Luther fought, the
right of private judgment; the right of
self-government and individual sovereign
ty; the principle that government de-
rive their just powers from the consent
of the governed" that taxation and rep
resentation are inseparable; the assertion
of Abraham Lincoln that mo man
is good enough to govern another
without his CONSENT that this
should be a government of the whole peo-
pie and not of half the people. The diff
Guilty with those who ask such questions
as this is that they fail to recognize in
woman an individual entity but look upon
her as subordinate part of man. Woman
is always thought of, spoken of and leg
islated for simply an adjunct to man.
In this whole question of suffrage the re-
lation of the woman TO the home, the hus-
band, the family, to society, is freely con-
sidered, while there is never a thought as
to its effects upon the woman herself as
an individual.
Second-What are the evils, if any, suf-
fered by women by reason of their not
having such a right? Disfranchisement is
ever and always degradation. In this
country men disfranchised only for
cause, and this cause is always attended
with humiliation. If women do not feel the
degradation of Acknowledgement, then this
very fact is one of the most prominent of
the evils. To make it impossible for "a
woman TO have any voice in the levying
and the spending of taxes; to deny her the
right of making the laws or of selecting
the lawmakers or the officials who are to
enforce the law; TO refuse her any partici-
patton in municipal government, in ques-
lions relating To the schools. or in decid-
ing the environment of her family; TO hold
her responsible for the conduct Of grown

a mile or two miles against time, and at
others simply making one circuit of the
track at their very best pace. Then they
will go a mile the same as is usually done
in a race. that is, they will take a slow
pace for the first three-quarters and then
will put forth their best efforts for the
final sprint. All this brings out their best
qualities and toughens them to their work.
After this, they are again rubbed down
thoroughly, and, after a sweat and a bath
are ready to leave the track. 1t is not
what is commonly termed a soft snap
to be a racing man, but is exactly the re-
verse. There is a great deal of very hard
work, and the hardest work is not the time
spent in racing, but in the times the men
are working to get themselves in condition.
There are some other riders in the city
who may make speedys ones in the future
Harry Deputy is too young to expect to do
anything extraordinary now, being only if
teen years of age, but he shows that with a
few years on the track and proper training
he will make a very fast man. Marshall Lee
vey has made little effort to become a
fast track rider, but with training he could
take his place with the best of them. 1t is
only occasionally that he enters race, and
then without the proper training. Jacob
Steinmetz has done some good work, but
a defective eye makes it hard for him to
take his place with bunch of riders and
do good work without endangering himself
and others. He has fine speed and has
made good record this year. he has won
six first prizes and holds the unpaced
Broad Ripple track record of 2:24.
There are many others in the city who
have shown good work in the few times
they have entered races, but they have not
been in active training. and it is impossible
to predict what they might do in the flu

CHOCTAW POLITICS.

The ChoctaW Natien recently held an
election and chose a new chief. Now
the successful candidate is in hourly
danger Of being killed by q desperate
hand Of his political opponents. Truly
the game of politics as played by the
noble red man is full Of excitement
Green McCurtain is the new chief OF
the ChOetaWs. He would hardly come
up to the popular idea Of an Indian
chief, for he lives in a comfortable
house instead Of a wigWazn, he wears
clothes Of a fashionable cut instead of
a blanket and leggings, and his speech
shows that he is a well educated man,
of broad views and much refinement
AS 8 matter Of fact, Chief Mo0urtain
would be a leader Of men in almost any
community, and it is net at all sur
prising that he has come to the front
IN the Indian Territory. He is said to be-
the wealthiest man IN the Choctaw Ma

over 1925, eco in the cattle business
Physically as we'll as mentally he IS
a model leader, for he stands two OF

the ambition is at liberty to fence of as
much land as he chooses for himself.
This privilege has been taken advantage
of by the wealthier and more powerful
members of the tribe to the injury Of
the poorer and weaker Indians. Under
allotment it is proposed to divide all
the lands held by the tribe into three
grades, according to desirability, and
to give to every man, woman and child
of the nation an equal share, or $40
acres apiece, besides leaving enough to
give every freedman in the nation 40
acres. The Indian is to use his land as
he chooses and can even lease it for a
term of not more than five years, but
all titles are TO remain with the nation
for a certain term of years, at the end
of which deed is given, either to him
or to his heirs. In the case Of the towns
which are scattered through the terri
tory, it is proposed to divide them up
into lots Of equal size aud lease them to
those who have already built or desire
to build on them.
This is the policy for which Chief
McCurtain has long commended At first
he stood almost alone. but gradually he
drew followers to his side, although the
majority Of his people, even those who
had been his warm personal friends, &C
cused him Of becoming a traitor. The
trouble was they did not understand the
ways and methods of civilization, and
they did not realize that it would soon
become impraetioable to hold all their
land in common as they had done for
years before.
At the recent election the majority
of the Choctaws were undoubtedly op-
posed to the allotment scheme, but they
were so anxious to defeat McCurtain
and his policy that they were not con
tent to put up one man against him. So
they selected three candidates. Those
in favor Of allotment all rallied under
the McCurtain banner, and when the
votes were counted it was found that
he had been elected by a narrow mar
gin. Angry at their defeat at the polls,
some Of the more desperate full bloods
organized band and surrounded Nc
Curtains home, near Sans Bots, but
they found it protected by a faithful
band Of his supporters and skunk of.
Chief A6cCurtain is not a full blood
himself, but is what is known in the
territory as sfthree-qu quarters blood, -
his grandfather, from whom he gets his
name. having been a Scotchman. In

above the rest of his tribe. he has a
good education and has travelled extern
sively, not only IN this country, but in
Europe. He understands better than
most Of his fellow tribesnen what IS
best for the Choctaws, and there is no
doubt that he has the best interests Of
the nation at heart.
The Chootaw government is modelled
after our state governments. The chief
takes the place of G governor and there
is a legislative body composed Of an up
per and a lower house. Their judiciary
is fairly VOL organized also. What the
