CURTIS LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Held that Congress Can Not Deprive
Indians of Land.


A recent special to the st. Louis
Globe Democrat from Vinita, |.
T., says:
Judge John r. Thomas holds
that the Curtis law is unconstitu-
tional. In a decision handed
down at Wagner. I. T., in the case
of McGrath VS.. Lem Aldridge ct
al. he declares that one citizen
can not take it upon himself to de-
termine that another man has in
possession more than his proper
tionate share of the public domain.
The suit involved the possession of
Cherokee lands, the defendant hav-
ing taken possession of a part of
plaintiffs land, alleging in justin
cation thereof, that the latter was
in possession of more land than he
was allowed under the Curtis law.
Judge Thomas in his opinion,
says in part:
THE Supreme Court of the
United States and other courts OF
last resort have decided that an act
of congress is not due process OF
law The Curtis bill is very
sweeping. 1t contains many pro
visions and is capable of many
constructions. 1t is the first seri
Gus attempt the court has ever seer
of congress attempting to repeal al
amendment to the constitution by
an act of congress. But the cour
is of the opinion that the Curt!
bill does not repeal the constitution
of the United States, nor any o.
its provisions, but is wholly inop
erative, since the Cherokee natiOI
has not entered into treaty au
thorizing the allotment of thei
common property. This land wa
bought and paid for by the CherO
6 kee Indians with their own none.
and with their own property. l
was patented to them. These In
dians were regarded as of age AM
able to contract when the govern
ment bought their property from
them. The government can no
plead that these are infants. sine
e the government by its own con
e tract recognized their right TO con
tract.
1t does not come within tn
same rule which is claimed t
govern the island pf Porto Rico o
the one hand or the Philippine Is
o lands on the other. This is a gov
ernment of the people, by the pee
. pie and for the people, and tn
6 fundamental law governing a pee
pie governs every inch of tbei
possessions.
1t is provided by the constitJ
ton of the Cherokee nation, an
this is not in conflict with the con
stitution of the United States, tha
the improvements made by citize
l of the Cherokee nation are nc
subject to attachment or sale unde
execution. 1t is a vested proper t
right"

A mother of a large family, burdened

he heard a sweet voice Of child singing
a song which was familiar to all patrons

attractive one, and the child was golden
haired and fair. The poetic fancy of the
doctor was shocked to hear such words
from the lips of an innocent child-oeaufi-
full as an artists dream of an angel. He
at once composed the words of the hymn,
"Joyfully, Joyfully, Onward We Move, ="
which was set to the music Of the song

SOME POPULAR HYMNS

1t is said of hymns, and it is more true,
perhaps, than Of any form Of poetry, that
they owe their origin to some sudden
Inspiration that is seldom repeated. The
great "Te Deum,"' that poem Of Chris
tianity, is said to have been first sung at
the baptism Of St Augustine. And it was
also the first hymn that Columbus and
his sailors sang when they raised the
flag of Spain on American shores.

FATHER RYAN

monument to Father Ryan was unveil- ed at Norfolk, Va, on Tuesday by Pickett
 Buchanan chapter, Daughters of the Con federacy. The women of Norfolk conceived | the idea of raising here a monument which 1 shall tell posterity that Norfolk is the
 birthplace of the confederacy's poet-priest,
 Father Abram J. Ryan. and have been dil- igent in carrying it out.
 Mrs. Walter P. Burrow led the move
 ment which eliminated today in the un-
 yelling in Elmwood cemetery, in the sec
 ton where the unknown dead soldiers of
 the confederacy lie, cross of rough Rich
 mond granite bearing Father Ryans name
 and reciting the fact that Norfolk is his
 birthplace.
 Father Ryan died at Louisville was bur-
 jed at Mobile, and was born here in April, 1S39
 Some doubt as to this last which existed
 was set at rest by Mrs. Burrow, who, act | ing for her associate daughters secured from various sources indisputable proof
 that the poet was born here. -sr- Charles
 J. O'Malley of Louisville, Ky, a relative of | Father Ryans, wrote her, saying that | <ADldIi ldlHSI anu IIlOtHSE.

Abram was born. l This house in which the Ryans lived some years was recently torn down. The mem- ory of Father Ryan, in whose poems the
 dead cause is embalmed, is very dear to
 the southern people, and contributions to the fund raised to erect the memorial here came freely from all portions of the south. The day appointed for the unveiling of the
 memorial was also confederate memorial day. Captain John J. Burroughs at the un- l yelling delivered an address and a poem | by MT. Charles J. O'Malley, and also one ] by Rev. Beverly D. Tucker, rector of old St. PauPs church, Norfolk, eulogistic of
 Father Ryan, were appointed to be read. The poets "The Conquered Banner was read, and the United States naval post band played My Old Kentucky Home1 The memorial, surrounded by a fence formed of cannon balls and bayonets, stands seven feet high.

 It may be asked, why cannot Governor Mount be compelled to respect the provis- ions of the constitution? The answer is that republicans do not consider the con- stitution operative when they are playing politics. A mandamus does not lie except in all honor and all morals. In law the head of sovereign state cannot be CO., creed. He is law to himself, and the constitutional obligation does not extend beyond mems honor and sense of right, neither of which rests heavily upon re- publican conseiences.
