The MOVEMENTS OF JUDGE SPRINGER


Washington, June 1s.-Eshitie, prin-
cipal chief Of the Comanche Indians,
White Buffalo and six others are
added to the list Of complainants in
= motion to amend filed yesterday
BY counsel for the Indians in the
case Of Lone Wolf and others against
the secretary Of the interior in oppo-
sition to the opening Of the Kiowa,
Comanche and Apache lands in Okla
homa. Assistant Attorney General
Vandeventer offered no objection to
the motion, but said he failed to see
how 1t could affect the legal status Of
the case. A petition was filed by the
complainants stating that they have
been authorized by the Kiowa, Co
manche and Apache tribes in grand
council to protect their rights. The
court granted the motion.
Placing the best possible construc-
tion on the movements of Judge
Springer and the delegation Of In
dams from the Kiowa and Comanche
reservation, whom he represents, ii
Il evident that the object of the In
dams and their friends is to delay
the opening Of the reservation for an
indefinite period, and all Indications
are that they will be successful.
Those best informed admit that there
would be nothing surprising in an in
definite postponement Of the open
ing. Springer is working the end
less chain policy with the courts. He
Is preparing to carry the case along
from one stage to another of incon-
elusive action toward the time when
congress meets again, TO this end
he Is prepared to institute another
suit should the supreme court of the
District hold that the parties named
as plaintiffs In the injunction pro-
ceedings cannot sue, and in the mean
time he would take the case on ap-
pesl to the court of appeals of the
District. After that he still has the
supreme court of the United States
In reserve for such action us may
suggest itself to his resourceful and
fertile legal intellect.

First in my thoughts are the les
soCs to be learned from tie career CT
William Mckinley By the young men
who make up the students today Of
our University. They are not obscure
nor difficult. The man who is uni
versally mourned today was not de-
ficient in education, but with all you
will hear Of his grand career and his
services to his country, you will not
hear that that which he accomplished
was due entirely to education. He was
an obedient and affectionate son, pa
triotic and faithful as a soldier, hon
est and upright as o citizen, tender
and devoted as husband. and truth
full, generous. urselGsh, moral and
clean in every relation Of life. He
never thought am of those things too
weak for his manliness. Make no mis-
take. Here was most distinguished
man. a great man. useful man-who
became distinguished, great and USE
ful because he had, and retained un-
impaired, qualities Of heart which I
fear university students sometimes
feel like keeping in the background or
abandoning.
There is a most serious lesson for
all of us in the tragedy of our late
Presidents death. If we are to es-
cape further attacks upon our peace
and security, we must boldly and re-
solutely grapple with the monster OF
anarchy. 1t is not thing that we can
safely leave to be dealt with by party
or partisanship. Nothing can guaran-
tee US against its menace except the
teaching and the practice Of the best
citizenship, the exposure OF the ends
and aims Of the gospel Of discomfort
and hatred of social order, and the
brave enactment and execution OF
represSive laws.
THE universities and colleges cam
not refuse to join in the battle against
the tendencies of anarchy. Their help
in discovering and warning against the
relationship between the vicious coun-
sells and deeds OF blood and their
steadying influence upon the elements
of unrest, cannot fail to be Of inesti-
mable value.
"By the memory Of our martyrei
President let us resolve to cultivate
and preserve the qualities that made
him great and useful, and let US de-
termine to meet the call Of patriotic
duty in every time Of our country's
danger or need"
