refer the contest over national
committeeman in Indian Territory

August 21, as follows:
"The subcommittee appointed

PIantsr DOC RsesIve . Premium.

In an article printed in southern
papers and paid for by the COM
press interest, the statement Is
made that the American Gotten
Company "has paid both the
planter and the spinning bonuses"
to extend the use Of the roundlap
bale. This reluctant admission
by the comprsssmen that the use
OF the roundlap bale is profitable
to planters and spinners is not an
exact statement Of fact. The
planter does receive a premium for
his cotton 10 roundlap bales, not
as a bonus, but because lis cotton
in these bales is worth more to any
buyer than In any other package.
In like manner the spinner's pro-
iit from the use Of roundlap bales
comes from the economies they en-
able him to make. The farmer
cares little who pays the premium
which his roundlap bales com
mand. What interests him Is that
they bring him more money, and
with his profit in bis pocket he is
not deceived by the miaFepreseni-
ions Of men who, while affecting
tender sollcilude for bis welfare.

INDIAN SCHOOL REFORMS
Badly Needed According To
Commissioner Jones.

Washington, d. c., Aug. "a
In mis- annual report to the secre-
tary OF the interior, Commissioner
Of Indian Affairs Jones will make
strong recommendation for asweep-
ing change in the school system
now in force in the territory Of the
five civilized tribes. Instead of
the schools being under the con.
trole Of the principrl chiefs Of the
various nations, as now exists,
Commissioner Jones will urge that
they be transferred to the control
d the officers of the federal gov
ernment. Such a change, in the
opinion Of Commissioner Jones
and others who have given the
subject careful consideration, is
absolutely essential 10 the proper
education Of the children residing
in the territory.
Recently Miss Estella Reel
national superintendent OF Indian
schools, made a short visit tc the
territory for the purpose Of gain
ing information as TO the school
system. Alter visiting Muskogee,
Yinita aud one or two other prin.
cipal towns in the Creek and
Cherokee nations, she submitted a
report showing a very gratifying
improvement in the school system
in the territory during the past
year. Recently hOwevor, inform.
alton received at the department
indicates that the affairs Of the
schools and orphan assylums in the
several nations are In most un-
satisfactory and unstable condition.
that many of the school officials of
the several nations are incompetent
and that favoritism in the manner
Of appointment OF teachers and
other employees is freely praoticed;
that undue influence is frequently
exerted in order TO obtain positions
on the school service, and that
school funds, in some instances,
have been negligently and care
lsssly expended. These practices
have been carried on TO such an
extent that. in the opinion OF the
school superintendent for the ter
lilory, the only way they can be
broken up Is by placing the entire
school system under the control Of
the interior department.
The reports received indicate
that the nepolism and favoritism
In the appointment Of teachers
complained Of last year slill exists
10 very pronounced degree II

lion she chairman OF The school
board has In office thiEleep gela'
