One of the constant sources OF
diversion to the Indian Territory
people in Washington, both In,
dian and white. is the persistent
association of them with the alb
original savage Of last century, by
those Of the east whose ideas of the
Indian are based on both ignorance
and romance. They persist III

their protestations ever so vigor-

into their mouths despite their de-
fensive plea that its use was dis

erations ago. They insist in sub
stituting the moccasins, leather
breeches and feather head dress of
the Indian of their Imagination,
for the modern, up to date rigging
with which our people are wont to
bedeck themselves. But this is
not all. The acme of their Off
ciousness, and the apex of their
affectionate superintendent is
reached, when they address him as
"Poo- Lo" and trot him up before
the "Great father"l The "Great
Father may be very well for the
unsophisticated Kiowa, or the I'M
initiated Ute of the far west, but
the Choctaw or Cherokee of the
good year 1898 knows him to be a
myth and a monumental one.
The Washington Post of some
days ago contained an item to the
effect that member of one of the
Indian delegations from the terri
tory started ont for a pow-wow at
the capitol. In preparation for
the pOw-wow, So that article states,
Poor Lo discarded the moccasins
of his ancestors, and arrayed him
self in a pair of beautiful russets.
Deciding that the russell color was
not the thing he ascended the stand
of a boot black and insisted that
they be BACKED. Still not salts
he stopped where some painters
were at work and daubed his shoes
a color to his taste. Then, con-
cludes the article, with blanket
and feathers, he proudly tramped
on to make his congressional call.

Among the eastern senators upon
whom | called was Senator Platt,
of Connecticut. He ranks next to
Senator Pettigrew on the Indian
committee, was member of the
sub committee that drafted the
Curtis bill, has, in years past, made
number of trips to the Indian
Territory as a member of special
investigation committees, and has
for many years been prominent in
Indian Territory legislation. |
asked him for an expression of
opinion on the Indian Territory
situation in general, and the Cur
tbs bill in particular He said in
substance:
"As | am advised, the senate has,
as yet, taken no position on what
ought or ought not to be done with
the Indian Territory, and it is un-
fair for anyone to assume that we
have. We have simply put the
question aside and will not seri-
ously consider it until the Curtis
bill comes to us. You may say
that l prefer a settlement of all
questions and interests by agree
ment with the Indians, so that all
questions of title may be ended
once for all. As to whether or not
| would contend for this is another
question. | have never stated that
| would insist on the adoption of
the lease system ~

Members of the Indian commit
tees are in receipt of resolutions
adopted at a citizens mass meet
ing held at Vinita recently. The
resolution begins by suggesting that
its trainers are, without regard to
care or color, in favor of the allot-
ment of the land and all the natur-
al resources and appurtenanees, the
establishment of a government
that will afford ample protection
to every citizen and that to
smoothe the way to this object,
and to soften the asperities OF the
people, they call attention to GER
tain objections to the Curtis bill.
The objections enumerated are
that it does not eliminate the land
grant of the NJ, X. d T. Ry.; that
provision is not made for confirma-
ton OF town lots purchased from
the Cherokee nation; that under
its provision the town limits may
be Indefinitely extended so as to
take in outlying improvements;
that the 157 600 acres claimed by
the Delawares is to be set apart.
They are also opposed to the
passage of senate bill 4l05 which
seeks to give the supreme court
jurisdiction to pass upon the tribal
rights of the nations, and suggest
that it is preferable to have all
questions settled by legislation.
The resolutions are signed by j.
B. Merrell, chairman, and Isaac
Mode, secretary.

1t has been practically determ-
ined by the committees of both the
senate and house that there will be
no legislation for the reorganiza-
ton of the judiciary of the Indian
Territory. at this session of con-
gress.
There are bills pending for the
establishment of courts at Tisho-
mingo, and Nowata, and what is
known as the Judges bill" is in
the possession of Senator Petit
grew, but has not been introduced.
1t is not his purpose TO do so, as
indicated by his interview of last
week.
Congressman BrOderick, of Kan
sas, is third on the judiciary COM
mittee in the house, and when
asked about the outlook for court
legislation, he said:
The matter was taken up and
discussed this week by our sub
committee to whom these matters
are referred, and it was practically
determined to pass the whole ques-
tion over to the next session. The
attorney general thinks this should
be done. If the Curtis bill passes

cities and towns to secure, by con-
demnation and otherwise, lands
necessary for public improve
ments passed the senate We'd
nesday. The town of Wagner and
her representatives are strongly
urging the passage of the bill, as
it is understood that a company is
organized and ready to begin work
on municipal improvements, as
soon as congressional authority
can be secured.
tbs quite certain however, that
this nor any other Indian Terrific
ry measure will be allowed to pass
the house until the Curtis bill is
disposed of. This is based on the
positive statements of those hav-
ing that class of legislation in
charge, in that branch of congress.

When the general deficiency APP
preparation bill reaches the senate
Senator Berry will offer an amend
ment as follows:
That the United States pay ex-
penses of transportation of 274
Creek Indians at $50 each; and
subsistence for twelve months to
$50 Creek Indians, at s25 each, in
accordance with list appended to
a letter of the commissioner of
IGdian affairs of June 18th, 1885,"
This claim on the part of the
Creeks is based on the 9TH articl
of the treaty of 1926, and the 18th
article of treaty of 1882, wherein
the United States agreed to pay
certain expenses of transportation
and subsistence. The amendment
contemplates the payment of those
not included in former payments.

Forty years ago two Germans
formed a partnership in San Fran
cisco and began to buy cattle
and land. To-day the firm OF Miller
81 Lux own Ia, $50, 1870 acres of land
ia the three States of California, Ne
vady aud Oregon. One OF their
ranches is 80 miles long and 60 miles
wide. In fact, these are not ranches
at all. They are more than baronies,
greater than municipalities. They
are kingdoms. The surviving part
ner of this firm rules over twice as
much soil as the King of Belgium,
and over as much as the King OF Ba-
varia. His holdings are larger by a
third than the kingdom OF Denmark;
are four times as large as Alsace-
Lorraine, over which two great peo-
pie have twice fought tremendou,
wars are half as large as England,
nearly twice as large as the Neither
lands, and are one fourth larger than
the ancient Republic OF Switzerland.
In round figures the holdings owned
by Miller & Lux are over four times
as large as the State OF Connecticut.
They nearly equal in area the com
bined States OF Connecticut, Rhode
Island, Delaware, Massachusetts and
New Hampshire.
There are many men who will see
I'm these statements only food for re-
newed admiration OF Miller's enor-
nous acquisitive activity. But others
see in them the ultimate explanation
OF much, if not all, the miseries of
the poor, and see in them also the
crying need OF legislation which shall
make 1t impossible for one man to
hold so many million acres of soil,
while thousands walk the highways
without bread to eat and without the
opportunity to win that bread by
work,
