LEGISLATION
Efferting the Laws Indian Ter
ritOry What Last Con
gress Did,

Mus3ogee, I. II June 16,-Lit.le has
been accomplished for Indian Terri
tory during the session Of congress
just closed, but The prospect for i'm
portant legislation regarding terri
tory affairs at the next session are ex-
ceedingly bright. Among the bills
passed during the brief sass on just
closed, which are Of interest TO
territory p. ople are the following
An act authoriz.ug and permitting
private corporations to be organized
in Indian Territory, in accordance
with the provision of Mansfelds di.
gest Of the laws of Arkansas, 1884,
relating to such corporations. This
act directs that the clerk Of the Indian
Territory court of appeals at South
McAlester and certain other officials
Of the territory shall perform the
duties required by the secretary of
state and other officials of Arkansas,
by the provisions of the digest relating
relating to private corporations. This
act, like many others heretofore passe d
by congress. simply places the private
corporations laws of Arkansas as they
existed in 1888, in force in the Indian
Territory and names certain territory
officials who are ito carry the law into
effect. This is the first opportunity
which territory firms have had to be-
come incorporated under territory
laws, and many of them will immed-
lately take advantage of it.
The cutting OF timber for construc-
tive purposes, under such rules and
regulations as the Secretary of the In
terror may prescribe, has also been
authorized The timber, however,
cannot be shipped out of the territory
ane must be used strictly within it's
borders. The main object of this law
to permit the cutting Of tie timber for
the construction of new railroads
which are now in progress of construc-
tion in the territory.
An act was passed authorizing a
United States commissioners court to
be established at Wewoka, in the
Seminole nation, and various rights OF
way have been given to companies or
ganized for the purpose of constructing
electrical and steam railroads in the
territory.
The Creek and Cherokee treaties
which were the most important terri
tory legislation before congress, failed
to pass the senate, but will no doubt
be ratified by that body at the short
session next winter. The failure OF
the senate TO ratify there treaties
means delay Of at least one year IN
the material advancement OF these
two nations, Had these two treaties
been ratified it would have been posi-
bic Cor citizens of the United States tc
have purchased homes and farms IL
the Creek nation within the next six
months, and in the Cherokee natior
within the next twelve months. The
Dawes commission will, however, pro
ceed with it's work in these two ma
tions in accordance with the provisions
of the Curtis bill, and on July will
begin taking Of the census Of th'
Cheroses nation.

FAULKNER, lie LAWYER.

One thing which this Clark hearing
has proven is the splendid ability of
former Senator Faulkner, of West V1r-
ginia, as lawyer. After very active
career in politics, Senator Faulkner
came to the conclusion that there wasn't
very much in the game after all, so he
called himself out of it and has since been
practicing law, with an office in Wash
ington. Very naturally, with his wide
acquaintance and his former prominence
in legislation, he had no trouble in find
ing clients. and he represents here a num-
Der of important people. This is, how
ever the first contest case IN which he
has appeared, and it gave the firstoppor-
tunity which his former colleagues have
had of witnessing his legal methods, if I
may use the expression. Throughout
the hearing he has demonstrated not
only a broad understanding of the law
and of Senate presidents, but a splendi
capacity at handling witnesses, which
has called forth the admiration of the
members of the committee. especially of
those who are themselves prominent at
torneys. Whatever the ultimate result OF
the case may be, it has already won for
the gentleman from West Virginia fresh

Oregon Frater: The fraternal bene-
ficiary orders have two sides, the fra.
ternal and the business; both are nec-
essary for the perpetuity OF an order.
Fraternity binds the members togeth-
err In a united bond OF everl asting
friendship, requiring each one 10 see
that the beneficiary Of the deceased
member gets the amount OF his certiti
cate and to visit the sick, care for thu
distressed and bury the dead III Q
business part requires the prompt pa
ment OF all dues and assessments, t >
careful scrutiny Of the tinan3 ial cons
tion of the order, and that the office )
are faithful to the discharge OF the. =
duties. Both Of these sides need to
carefully looked after and looked up TO
Fraternity is good enough when an
order is exclusively built upon frater-
nal lines, hut when combined with
family protection it must go hand In
hand with business method, neither
one losing sight OF the other, and
neither encroaching upon the privi-
leges of the other. Too much frater-
nifty is apt TO overlook the shortcom-
ing OF the business side, and too much
business will trespass upon and crush
the fraternal side. Great care is re-
quired to preserve an equal manage
ment and see that each side is proper
ly guarded In its interests and not tres
passed upon by the others.

That the 10Th century is preeminent-
~ the age OF fraternity is evidenced by
the ease with which the willy deputy in.
duces the inexperienced but worthy cit
izen to join some Cheap John society
for the protection to his family and
loved ones. 1t shows the heart Of the
applicant TO be in the right place, and
that being honest In his desire to lift
the burden from his family when he
cannot longer labor for them, he con-
siders the solicitor his friend and &C
cepts his oily promises OF cheap insur-
ance, lower rates and less assessments
than the older orders as gospel truth
until such times as he discovers that he
has been swinolesl and that he has not
properly investigated the statements,
which he had accepted in good faith.
Were it not for the fraternity and love
OF humanity, coupled with the desire
to protect the helpless, and realizing
that there were others with the same
noble impulses, aud that in union
was greater strength, he would have
simply passed by on the other side.
But his heart bids him stop and he lis
tens and learns and adopts.
