Washington, March IA. The
DAVIS commission and the represen-
tatiyes of the Greek nation have con-
cludad the Greek treaty which is
now with the secretary of the inter
ior for reference to congress. 1t 10
generally admitted that the treaty,
as it is now, will be subject to many
amendments before it is finally rati-
ned by congress. In it's present
shape it is ne4sher satisfactory to the
Indians nor to the members of the
house and senate committees on In
dian affairs, but it can be used as
basis upon which an agreement can
be reached. Under the terms OF the
treaty no additional federal courts
are to be given the Greek nation.
Tribal courts are only to have iuris-
diction of petty cases. such as petit
larceny, misdemeanors, and the
like, while all other cases are to go
to the United States courts. The
school system will be admins
tered by the nation subject to the
control of the secretary of the in
terror. AS soon as certificates of al
lotment are issued by the Dawes
commission the principal chief of the
Creek nation is directed to immedi-
ately issue deeds to the allotteee
which, when approved by the secre-
of the interior, will become final.
Each member of the tribe is to re.
ceive 160 acres of land. After the
aIloteAsnts have been completed the
residue is to be disposed of, in which
the members of the tribe are tc
share equally.

The treaty with the Cherokees is
now under consideration. The Dawes
commission, as was the case with
the Greek treaty, has refused to in
sert any provision for additional
United States courts. One of the
principal reasons for this is that
large sums of money have been
raised for lobbies in Washington to
procure additional courts for various
towns. In other words, United
States courts are to 60 to the high
est bidders. The 30th United States
statutes at large specifically prohibit
this and impose heavy fine and
punishment, especially if any official
OF the tribs or of the government is
implicated therein. Serious charges
have been made duplicating officials
of the nation and of the govern
ment in attempting to secure these
courts, and this is one of the strong
est arguments which is being
brought to bear against any provis-
ion for additional courts in the two
nations.
Another complication which has
arisen with relation to the Cherokee
treaty is the failure to make any
provision for the Delaware Indians.
There is suit now pending in the
court of claims to give the Delaware
tribe 167 900 acres of land in addition
to their individual allotments which
would be the same as those of the
Cherokees. No provision for this has
been made in the treaty, and, as a
result, there is likely to be long
drawn-out contest. In addition to
this, the representative of the
Delawares here is insisting that the
rolls of the nation must be carefully
gone over and the names of all
white citizens, negroes, and all OF
the North Carolina Cherokees must
be expugned. 1t is probable that
some arrangement will be made
whereby these questions will be left
open for decision by the courts and
that Rllotments to the parties inter-
ested will be suspended pending
final settlement.

The senate has passed a bill pro-
viding for the appointment of an ad-
ditional United States commissioner
in the northern judicial district of
the Territory, who shall locate per-
manently at Wewoka, in the Semi
mole nation. The same bill has been
favorably reported by the house
committee on Indian affairs on the
recommendation of the department
of justice and the judges having per-
sonal knowledge of the situation and
the necessities of the case.

Marshall Bennett and other dele
gates selected by the South MeAles-
ter convention reached Washington
the latter part of last week. While
their mission here seems to be a
hopeless one, they are making the
best of the situation and are work
ing industriously with the members
Of the house and senate in the hope
that they may finally be prevailed
upon to accord the Territory repre-
sentatlon in congress and the estab-
lishment Of local offices which will
have control of such matters as re-
late to affairs there.

mony and victory merely because a
man refused TO shake hands with him
is manifest to all. DR.. Ball is the Re-
publican candidate. The Republican
National Committee has impressed
upon the Republican voters of this
state how vital 1t is to have a Repub-
lcan representative in the National
House OF Representatives to preserve
Republican control Of that body. If
Addicks. who assumed responsibility
for this state going Republican this
Fall, wants to defeat the Republican
merely because he thinks that
once upon a time that nominee refused
to shake hands with him, he must ac-
cept the odium which attaches to the
act. for the Republicans cannot assist
him in his nefarious work.

and pledges himself to do everything
in his power to make them impossible.
Just as many Republican candidates
have pledged themselves. His denun-
citation Of the Republican party for
coming out fatfooted for the gold
standard and sound money will recon-
mend that party to the intelligent
American voter. The Democratic man
ayers and censors could not induce the
Nebraskan to dodge the silver issue.
He relterates his belief In Free Silver,
reputation, fat money and Populism,
and shows clearly that while imperial
ism Is the dominant issue in his mouth,
Free Silver still is the dominant issue
in his mind, and that he hopes some
day to be able to inflict a debased and
dishonest currency upon the American
people.
Mr.. Bryan's letter of acceptance is
not q good campaign document for the
Democratic party. It appeals to human
prejudice, but not to human reason,
and as a large majority of the Ameri-
can voters are thinking and reasoning
mon, we fail to see how Mr. Bryan can
derive benefit from anything contained
IN his letter.

BRYAN AND HIS LETTER

There Is nothing new in Mr.. Bryan's
formal letter of acceptance. He merely
rd.hrczhes the chaff contained in the
Kansas City platform and his speech in
answer to the formal notification Of his
nomination for the presidency. He de-
claros that Imperialism is the para
mount issue. and then takes up and
discusses briefly each plank contained
in the Democratic national platform. II
&c a formal document in all respects
and not especially credinble to is
writer Compared with his speeches, 1t
shows that he is O. better political
speaker than essayist To satisfy those
who resented the omission of the in

platform he declares that it is embod-
led in the reaffirmation OF the Chicago
platform His argument in favor oi

ART DISPLAY is ATTRACTIVE
Students Of c. S. Hammitt Make
Most Interesting Exhibition

What is by far the most interesting
display Of the fine and applied arts is
that now in G.. S. Hammitt's school Of
art. It is the eighteenth annual exhi-
bition by the school. and will be open
to the public from until 10 p. m. every
day until Saturday.
Last evening there were many Wis
itors to the studio, who saw a display
interesting in its novelty and bsauti-
ful in its design. The exhibition of
work in typography and bronzing at
tracted the most attention. Principal
among the pieces are a waste basket
by Mrs. Hammitt, portrait Of the late
ID. w. Harlan. and a chair by Mr.. Ham
mitt; panel by Miss Mabel Jones. card
table by Mrs. II. +. Dure, nut bowl by
Miss Madge Cause, opera bags by
Miss Georgia Downing. and Miss Eliza
beth Gilpin, coffee tray by Miss Long
and a jewel box by Miss Mabel Press.
Aside from this highly interesting
collection is an exhibit of pen and ink
drawings, charcoal sketches, water col
ors, oils and pastels, which reflect
much credit on the designers Of the
many pieces. The China painting ex-
hibit is a popular one with the women
visitors to the studio. Among the fea-
lures are a set Of orchid plates by Mrs.
George II. HoGecker, a game set by
Mrs. William Hammond and other
pieces by Miss Bessie Jones and Miss
Helen Bowers To Miss Henrietta
Chandler has been awarded the
scholarship prize for the greatest i'm
prOvement in drawing.
