IT is not easy to believe that cadets
have really been driven out OF West
Point on account of their race or reli-
pious belief. If it is true then the young
men whom the state has undertaken to
educate and train for its defence have
disgraced 1t. America stands for free
dom, and religious liberation was the
foundation principle of the early gov
eminent. That was according to the
light that was in the fathers. Since
that time we have become az nation
far more tolerant than the pilgrims
ever dreamed of. Supposedly. in this
country religious belief Is no bar to any
preferment. It is not hard to pick
out exceptions, especially in private
affairs and in certain states. But the
national government has no right to
take any account of religious belief or
race, and if the charges of the national
government, the cadets at West Point,
are forgetting their Americanism and
their manhood so far as to persecute
their fellow cadets because they are
Jews, then it is time for summary
punishment to be-visited on the Of
tenders. It is quite possible that the
coincidence of the resignation OF sew
eral Jews was not due in any way to
"persecution. It may have been that
for one reason or another they realiz-
ed their unfitness for the work before
them. But the Jews have always
been among the foremost defenders OF
the nation in time of war, and
no more faithful and patriotic race can
be found. Surely there is room for
them in our regular army. It will be
remembered that four years ago a
great deal of talk was created by the
promotion of Col. John J. Coping er
to generalship and the command of
department General Coppinger, now
retired. is Roman Catholic, and had
fought in the Pope's Guards. The A. P.
A, an organization of which this COUP
try has reason to be heartily ashamed,
made a great cry about it, alleging
that it was part of a scheme to give
the country over into the hands OF the
Roman Catholics, who would
soon control the government
ana the army anu oeclare dlleBlanCe W
the pope of Rome. They may not have
said it just that way, but apparently
that was their fear. The administra-
ton failed TO see anything in the re-
cord of General Coppinger to justify
keeping from him his well earned re-
ward for thirty four years of brave and
devoted service. Accordingly he was
as was entirely right and
proper. The United States, as a ma
ton, will not tolerate intolerance. |
The boys at West Point may as we'll

One proposition the people Of
the Indian Territory should get 10,
gether on is that some legislation
should bs enacted at the next ses-
sion of congress under which the
non-citizens of the territory will
be relieved of the complex condi-
tions arising from attempts to keep
two sets of laws in force in this
country. When last congress
passed an act enabling communi-
ties to organize municipal govern
ments it certainly was not cOntem-
plated that the residents of such
municipalities should continue
paying tribute to an Indian gov
ernment from which they derive
no benefit whatever. The execu-
tion of Walla Tonka in defiance of
the United States authorities
should call general attention to
the difficulty of running two indie
pendent governments in one terri
tory.-Pureell Register.

Although there may be no i'm
mediate prospects OF allotment
throughout the entire territory,
still the preliminary work is going
on. There is a vast difference in
appraising land in the states and
here in the territory, and there can
be no fair or reasonable cOmpari-
son made in the methods. There
never was in the history of the
world just such a condition
of affairs as presents itself here,
and being new and novel il is not
much wonder that at first the ap-
praising OF lands will be slow.
But there is a peculiar side to this
case outside of this, which seems
at once comical and absurd-white
people are doing most of the talk
ing. OF course people who live
here have an interest in the mat
ter, but not the interest that goes
to the length of demanding this or
that line Of action from the gov
eminent with respect to appraise-
ment and allotment of lands out
side of the cities or towns. That
belongs to the United States gov
eminent and the Indian and they
are the parties to settle the mat
ter, and they are doing it. When
the allotment is a finished opera
ton then there will be perhaps a
slice that will come in which will
concern personally every one who
lives in the territOry.-South Nc

once related to the writer is omit

was travelling by a stage coach one
day in north Missouri, when the

The esteemed South McAlester
Capital essays to espouse the
cause of Dick Adams and the Della
ware claim to 157, 900 acres OF
Cherokee land. If the Capital
would 60 to the trouble, and take
the time to investigate little it
would find the claim of the Della
wares to 157 900 acres of land over
and above their pro rata shares as
citizens of the Cherokee nation TO
be about as unreliable as Dick
Adams. In the first place the
Delawares are enjoying all the
privileges the CherOkees are en-
joying in the way of holding lands,
etc. and their claim to land over
and above this originated and is
being pushed in Washington by
schemers and lobbyists. Read-the
agreement between the Cherokees
and Delawares and then a more in
telligent opinion can be given.

islation at the next session of con-
gress is becoming apparent more
and more every day. If the In
dian tribal laws are to he enforced
they should certainly be re-enacted

are to be saved to the Indians
there must be some law by which
they can be collected.

the authority of the district clerks
to appoint judges of the election
that takes place the 4th of August.
According to the federal laws now
in force IN this country the office
of district clerk is abolished and
his books have long since been
turned in to the executive depart

time to determine definitely who
has the legal authority to appoint
election officers and also to desig-
nate the qualification of voters.

PRACTICE OF MEDICINE.
Hearing on the Proposed Amendment
to the Existing Law.
An Unusually Large Attendance Of Ladies'
to Listen 10 Arguments.

There was an immense gathering,
principally of ladies, at the State House
this afternoon. on the occasion of the
hearing before the Senate judiciary
committee on the act in amendment OF
and in addition to chapter 165, OF
the general laws, generally known an
the medical bill" So large was the
attendance that the committee was
compelled to use the house chamber,
and even this was filed to overfiowing
at 1880 o'clock. even the bull pen" be-
ing filled with ladies.
The amendment which called out such
a protest is substantially as follows:
Any person who, not being then law
fully authorized to practice medicine
within this state and so registered ac-
cording TO law, shall practice medicine
or surgery or attempt to practice medi-
cice or surgery. or any OF the
branches of medicine or surgery.
after havin greceived therefor or
with the intent of receiving there
for, either directly or Indirectly,
and bonus, gift or compensation, or
who shall open an office with intent to
practice medicine, or shall mold himself
out To the public as a practitioner OF
medicine, whether by appending to his
name the title of doctor or any abbre-
Walton thereof, or NJ. D.. or any other
title or designation implying a practi-
toner of medicine, or in any other way.
shall be deemed guilty of a misdea-
meanor and upon conviction thereof
shall be fined $780, and upon each and
every subsequent conviction shall be
fined 800 and imprisoned thirty days.
or either or both, in the discretion OF
the court; and in no case when any pro-
vision of this law has been violated,
shall the person so violating such pro-
vision, be entitled to receive compen-
sation for services rendered.
The BILL II is generally understood, Is
aimed at followers of the Christian sci
ence doctrine, and those affiliated with
the doctrine are vigorously opposed 20
1 passage. They claim that the SUI
preme court has decided that they can
act as healers. and that therefore the
bill should not include them, as they
make no pretense TO practice medicine.
DIR. Gardiner 4. Swarts. secretary OF
the state Board of Health, spoke in
favor of the passage of the bill. and
Walter +. Angel. Esq. spoke for the
Christian Scientists. The hearing 10
still in progress.

JURY TOO GENEROUS.
The Appellate Court Cuts Down Its
Award Of $1480 to $500.
Mrs. King Must Accept Smaller Sum or a
New Trial Of Case viii Be Had.

The appellate court I'm a decision
handed down today decides that jury
in the common pleas division OF the
supreme court was too generous in
awarding 1,4S0 for services rendered
by Bridget King, OF Woonsocket, to her
aunt, Catherine Farrell. The latter died
and Edward Nee was appointed her ad-
ministrator, but as Mr.. Nee refused to
acknowledge that the value OF Mrs.
Kings services to the deceased were
as great as she deemed them, Mrs. King
sued to recover $1,000. The court re-
duces the verdict to 5000.
The language of the rescript in the
case is as follows: THE court is OF
opinion that the damages in this case
are excessive and the defendants Pc
tition for a new trial is therefore grant
ed unless the plaintiff will remit all
above 5000, and take judgment for that
amount.
Ten days from the filing Of this re-
script are allowed To the plaintin in
which to decide whether she VIII enter
the remititure." j. j. Heffernan ar
eued the petition for a new trial.
