white settlement.
When the agreement was pro-
mulgated, the Choclaw and Chick
asaw nations claimed that, not.
wi,hstanding an alleged cession Of
land by them to the United States,
the land was held in trust by the
United States for them. The de.
fendant Indians denied the claim
and asserted an exclusive owner

The Choctaws based their claim
to The lands on the treaty Of
October 10, 1920, which provides
for the removal Of tne Choctaw In
dians from Mississippi and Ala.
bama and the cession Of all their
lands in these two states to the
federal government In considera-
ton Of the tract Of land in Indian
and Oklahoma Territories, which
included the lands now in dispute.
By the fourth article OF that treaty
the United States stipulated that
the oesslon Of the Chootaws In
Indian and Oklahoma Territories
should remain without alteration
until the time when the Indian ma
tions should become so civilized
and enlightened as to be eligible
TO citizenship of the United States
and that congress should then lay
out limited portion OF parcel Of
the land for the benefit Of each
family or individual in the nation.
TREATY FOR HOMELESS INDIANS.
In 1855 another treaty was
entered into between the United
States and the Chociaw and Chick
asaw nations, by which the land
now in dispute VAS set aside for
the use of homeless Indians, in
consideration Of which the United
States paid the Choctaws $500, 600
and the Chickasaws 100000. The
terms of this treaty were further
elaborated in the treaty made
eleven years later between the
government and the Choctaw and
Chickasaw Indians.
In 1891, when the Wichitas and
aft lated bands entered into a
treaty with the government by
which the lands in the Wichita
reservation we're to be allotted in
severalty to the Indians and the
residue sold for the benefit Of the
members Of the tribe, the Choc-
taws and Chickssaws disputed the
claim Of the Wichitas and affiliated
bands to the lands on which they
were living, basing their contention
on the treaty agreement referred
to.
The Wichitaa and affiliated
bands contended that they held
the title to the land in dispute by
an original occupancy. They as.
serted therefore, that the treaty Of
1920, by which the Chootaws and
Chickasaws acquired title to the
land from the United States was
illegal. As the the United States
however, has at all times held TO
the policy that lands occupied by
Indian tribes in territory purchas.
ed or acquired were subject to dis
position by congress, the claim OF
the Wichitas was scarcely consid-
cred by the court Of elaine in its
decision. The case reverted to
the treaties Of 1855 and 1865, by
which the tract of land nos in
dispute was ceded to the govern.
ment by the Chootaws and Chick
asaws. The question raised was
as 10 whether the cession was ab-
solute or whether it was merely
one Of trust, and it is expected the
supreme court will sustain the
opinion Of the court of claims.

The action of the city council
Wednesday night taking financial
management Of the public schools
Of VInita out of the hands OF the
board OF school directors is OF
doubtful utility and wisdom. 1t
practically emasculates the board
as to its supervision OF the schools
and makes it useless body. The
necessity for this radical action on
the par, Of the city council does
not appear to those who are inter-
ested in the success Of the schools.
The present board OF school di-
rectors without exception are cap.
able and energetic, and have
placed the city schools in the front
rank of territory schools. The
action Of the council has not been
explained that we know Of, and
the reason for it's action may be
based upon facts that the general
public has no oogniEanoe Of. The
schools are the pride of the town,
and the board deserves the support
Of every citizen Of the place.

The tour of inspection over the
Bartlesville branch, made last
week by some Of the Santa Fe Of.
ficials, is now devoid Of signifi-
canoe. It is generally believed,
and this belief is based upon in.
timations made by high official,
that the Bartlesville branch will
in the immediate future be pushed
to a connection with the Santa Fe
system in Texas. Such a move
ment would give the Santa Fe
company by all odds the shortest
route between Kansas City and
the Gulf Of Mexico. One thing is
certain, the terminus of the branch
will not remain at Collinsville per-
manently. Good business policy
demands that the line be pushed
to a southern connection-with the
Frisco road at Tulsa, if nowhere
else.-Bartlesville Magnet.

CHAMPIONSHIPS, Ind, Nov. 1.-Mr.
Bryan's car, the Rambler, was attached
to the newspaper train which left Gin
cinnati at $3.50 o'clock this morning, and
the first stop for speaking was made at
Jamestown. Ind, at o'clock. Mr.
Bryan spoke for ten minutes to good
crowd at the station, dealing with the
general issues Of the campaign. He adj
dressed himself especially to the farm
ers, declaring that none of them had
any stock in trust and saying that the
Republican party had no policy caleu-
lated in any way to improve the condi-
ton of the agricultural community.
Mr.. Bryan was received at Crawfords-
vile by another friendly and fair sized
crowd. He charged the Republican
party with departure from the princi-
pies of the fathers, quoted Lincoln on
the declaration of independence and
paid tribute to that instrument, say
ing:
"Let us stand by the principle set
forth in the Declaration of Indepen-
dence That immortal document was
written by Thomas Jefferson, and to its
maintenance he and his compatriots
pledged their lives, their fortunes and
sacred honor. And yet in higher and
broader sense it was not the work Of
human hands. 1t was rather bow of
promise which the sunlight of truth
shining through tears cast upon the
clouds. 1t assured the world that the
waters of despotism had reached their
flood and were receding. God grant
that they may never rise again.
Mr.. Bryan summed up in few words
what he characterized as the incouslst-
ences of the Republican party.
A stop of less than minutes was
made as the town of Darlington and
Mr.. Bryan contented himself with sug-
costing questions to be propounded to
Republicans Among those questions
were inquiries as to whether the people
want the trusts and whether they can
depend upon the Republican party to
destroy them.
He also wanted TO ask why we wanted
rs, 900 more soldiers now than we did
four years ago; also what we are going
TO do with the Filipinos when we get
them. In conclusion he told his hearers
that they should make their votes repre-
sent what they want in the form of gov
eminent and laws,

The Times Recorder, with thousands
of southerners, truly deplores the death
of Major W. J. Hearsey, the founder
and editor of the New Orleans States.
This brilliant, able and conscientious
journalist died IN New Orleans Tuesday,
Oct. Both, after brief illness. The vigor
of Major Hearsey's pen was never more
effectually used than during the days
of reconstruction IN Louisiana, and ever
since that time, as editor of the States,
he has been a potent factor in upbuild-
ing the social and commercial interests
of his native state and the south IN
general. He was gallant Confederate
soldier, and a man of unimpeachable
honor. His reputation as a newspaper
editor was not confined to Louisiana,
buthis opinions and writings were quot
ed throughout the country.
