ADMINISTRATIONS NEEDS A PoLIol

Minister Woodford seems TO be up
against II in Spain and the question Of
chow not TO 90 it, seems 10 confront
him in his dealings with that double
geared country. His instructions from
the Republican administration at
Washington are to put the screw on
Spain, but at the same time 70 avoid
any step that would lead to open rup-
ture. In other words, he must put the
screw on, but he must not turn it,
Such nsmby pamby nonsense will have
no effect on the Spanish policy. The
don knows that Uncle Sam is a paper
tiger, and paper tigers don't bite.
As long as the United States asks in
structions FROM Europe how to con
duct her own affairs, either in fnan'
cial matters or in her relations with
Cuba, Hawaii, japan or Spain, her REP
resentatives abroad will be placed in
the embarrassing and ridiculous posi-
tion now occupied by Minister Wood
ford, Under existing circumstan ,e'
Woodford must bluster but he mustn''
bluster too much. lie must roar lik,
a sucking dove, lest ais roaring dis
turb the sensitive nerves Of tn,
crowned copks OF Europe, The situa
tion is picturesquely ridiculous. Tn,
government OF the United State
should have some sort OF policy An'
should maintain that policy with th
dignity becoming to great nation

WANT LEASES EXTENDED
Three Years Residence on Pawnet
Lands is Unfair.

The Pawnee Times says: Some in
fuenee should be brought to bear upon
the secretary OF the interior TO induce
him to change his ruling, which per
mits the Pawnee Indians to lease their
allotments for only three years.
about one year ago number OF five
year leases were made and forwarded
to the secretary's Office for his APP
proval. These laases, after a years
time, are returned with his approval
but for three years. Meanwhile, in
many cases, the lessees had moved mp.
on the land and gone TO considerable
expense in breaking land, building
houses, fences etc. and this decision
will work a hardship TO them. Such
ruling, IL adhered to. will result In
thousands OF dollars damage to both
county and city for the reason that no
one will lease for so snort period.
The allotments are the choicest por-
tions OF our farming land. but no man
can take raw piece OF land and
iuhht hbJ JhhlhB th NhiNN SoN'N
lease
II the time could be extended TO five
or seven years, good responsible men
would rent these lands, break them
out, put mp good improvements and
set out orchards, and in few years
thousands of dollars would be added
to our county's wealth. Renters would
have some incentive TO put forth extra
effort, knowing that they would reap
the benefit. The Indians, besides their
rent money, would have much better
grade OF Improvements put up on their
lands. Our citizens should take some
action in this matter at once. We be-
lieve IL the matter were properly
brought before the secretary he would
see thet change Of his policy would
not only be to the interest of the In.
dians, who are under the care OF his
department, but that it is best for the
people oi the territory and county.
There are about 400 Of these allo,-
ments for lease and the great portion
OF them are lying idle
Pawnee county cannot afford to
have the richest land in oklahoms
territory remain in this condition, but
it will certainly do so unless she fear
get the length for lesases extended tc
at least five years.

The press in the eastern part OF In
dian Territory is filing columns Of
space with dissertations on statehood,
and the fear is expressed that okla
homa territory will endeavor to lug
in her debts and try TO double up with
us" The matter OF Oklahomss deot
seems to give these blatant sheets the
iim.jsms They Gre away without
reason or logic and daily exploit the
false statement that Oklahoma is bur
dened with Indebtedness which the In
dian Territory must pay in case con-
gress should grant single statehood.
The Purcell Register, strong SINGLE
statehood advocate, shows up the
fallacy OF this debt argument in the
following:
LAS 10 that Oklahoma debt bugbear
Of our eastern friends, we desire TO say
that we have obtained figures from re-
liable sources, aud can now give all
the Information wanted in this line.
We are preparing full statement Of
this matter which we will present
later, and will content ourselves with
giving the total territorial debs OF Ok.
lahoma, which is s9s5, 600, $50. 900 OF
this beng bonded debt for the
building Of educational Institutions, the
remainder on outstanding warrants.
On the other side Of the ledger are i'm.
mense grants OF land TO be used for
defraying the expense OF erecting pub
lie buildings and other grants Of school
purposes. all OF which would belong
TO the state The truth is that Okla.
homa would enter the new state with
every debt fully paid and with over
/, 0OO, 600 acres of public land to her
credit. How many OF our friends VIII o
desire campaign OF education" on
this question will give this informa.
ton TO their readers2 Not one OF
them Yet IL is the truth, as can
easily be ascertained by writing TO the
territorial auditor OF Oklahoma Bu,
the truth is not what our aggressive
educators" on the east side wish
their people TO hear"

THE fact is slowly manifesting itself,
but nevertheless it is creeping apaee,
that the only hope for the emancipa.
ton Of the American people from the
tyranny OF the favored and protected
classes is in the Democratic party.
The course OF the present Republican
administration in throwing the power
OF its strong arm around the trusts
and the favored classes has aroused
the masses as they never were aroused
before, and in the next great political
contest Tor supremacy they will rally
to the Democratic standard as bees to
their hive. In that contest there will
be no loiterers.

RICH GAME PRESERVE.


hlR Tract or Land Purchased In Iron COun-
ty, Mo-, for That Purpose.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 10-Deeds were
signed to-day completing the purchase
of 17,50O-acre tract of land in Iron
county, Mo-, that is designed to form
the greatest game preserve in the
United States, with the exception of
Yellowstone park. The purchaser is
the Mountain g. Lake Hunting 81
Fishing club, including in its member
ship many well-known men of ST.
Louis. The tract selected is in the
heart of the richest game regions in
Missouri, in the beautiful Arcadia val
ley, surrounded by the Ozark noun
tains. AT present it is traversed by
country roads and the intention is to
obtain permission from the legislature
for the club to build a county road
through the tract and then fence in
the preserve. The intention of the
club is to present the preserve to the
state at the expiration of so years,
provided the permission for county
road can be obtained and the
plans of the club successfully
carried out. Within so years, it
it believed by members of the club,
the preserve will be the most extern
sive and the richest in game in the
United States.
