PLEASE COME TAX Us.

The esteemed Indian Journal is
getting too much by inference
when it says that the Times argue s
double statehood by calling bad
names. The Times %dippantly re-
marked that there were several
old ROSTERS Growing for single
statehood, but the tender spring
chandelier of the Journal was not
in our mind at the time. Perish
the thought, for Brer Thornton is
young in years and a novice in
the single statehood folly, and any
statehood talk is folly until the
tribal taxes are taken off; until
the land is allotted; until we get a
stable and permanent ownership
of lands alienated from the Indian
and in the possession of people
who would have to pay taxes.
With tribal taxes and municipal
taxes are there any business men
who want the added burden. One
firm in Muskogee pays 81, 100 per
year tribal tax; each member of
the firm pays municipal-includ-
ing school and street tax-now
how much more in the name Of
reason should they be compelled

that any shange is desirable. On

of the town has improved almost
beyond comprehension. Our

more daily papers than most towns

of books to Vinita people exceeds
that of any other town we know

Mr.. Montagu White is the able rep
resentative of the South African re-
public in the United States, and al
though he takes an active part in the
discussion OF the situation re1ative to-
South Africa. he has done so in such
"a diplomatic manner as to give no Of
fense to the United States government.
To avoid such comp1i cations he has
been obliged to exercise q great deal
of discretion. Mr.. White was consul,
general of the Transvaal in London
previous to the wal: Since it began he
has served his country in various ca
pacities =.
He would be taken for an nglish
man almost anywhere, and his name.

blood, but then there are many men of

fighting. for the Boer cause. u Is
Mr.. White was asked for an inter-
view concerning the military situation
in South Africa. He replied by saying.
thai, not being military man in any
way, he was not competent to discuss
military affairs. Besides, it took about
six weeks for communications from the
TransVaal to reach him. Naturally
such communications, bearing more
particularly Oh diplomatic affairs, did
not disclose military conditions or
probable movements. zssts'5 ~. ss5 @a s34g= sg
The relief Of Kimberley and Lady

serious reverses for the Beers. 1t. is
because Of the serious effect they have
pm the wavering more than anything
else that they are to be regretted. I
believe that there was minority in
the Free State opposed to the war, and
there are always some who determine
their position according to the sue

from the beginning that we must at
