The success of the Dawes

The success of the Dawes com
mission before the senate commit
tee on Indian affairs was somewhat
of q surprise, as reports from
Washington recently indicated a
spirit of retrenchment on the part
of legislators regarding Territory
affairs. The report has been sent
out repeatedly that if it were not
for the expense involved a terrific
rial government would be granted
to the Territory. But this radical
departure from the house bill
indicates that in the senate, at
least, there has been a change
of sentiment. In view of the fact
that our delegation is in Washing
ton working for some kind of a
government here this news comes
as sort of promise of success. If
the Dawes commission is able to
secure such liberal recognition it
seems altogether probable that the
people of the Territory viii be able
TO get something TO promote their
welfare and general prosperity.

This announcement, coming imme-
