SENATOR CARTER, OF MONTANA,
DEVOTED HIS FINAL HOURS
IN OFFICE
TO TALKING IT TO DEATH.

ATE, CONsTRUCTIyELY. OVER
THIRTEEN HOURS.

WASHINGTON, March 4.---One of the
most notable occurrences in the his
tory of Congressional legislation mark
ed the closing hours of the last sss-
sion of the Senate. Senator Carter. Of
Montana, signalized his retirement
from the Senate after six years Of bril-
liant service, by talking the river and
harbor bill to death. He occupied the
floor, constructiyeiy for nearly thirteen
consecutive hours, although in the ag-
gregate. about three hours of that time
we're devoted to other business.
At 11:40 last night Senator Carter
began his speech. Apparently in a IA
Cctious vein, he began his attack upon
the measure, denouncing it is vicious
and pernicious legislation unwarranted
by conditions and unsound in prin-
ciple.
Shortly before 5 O'Clock Mr.. Allison
submitted a further disagreement on
tce sundry civil bill, the item in con-
tention being the appropriation for the
three expositions. From this the SEN
ate receded and then passed the st.
Louis exposition bill. Mr.. Tillman, who
has championed the appropriation for
Charleston throughout the session,
raade a final appeal to the Senate to

KNOCKS PROPS OUT
OF OWENS Contention that The
s4,00O,OOO Claim Belongs to
Eastern Cherokees-Treaty of
lS46 Vests Claim in the
Cherokee Nation.

GulJOr Cnl6ltdln-1 nave just
been reading the communication of
Rob't l.. Owen printed in your
daily of March 5th.
Greatness, whether born, ac.
quired, or thrust upon, is, after
all, only relative matter. There
is nothing great only until some-
thing greater is brought into view.
| have long felt alpresentiment
that the congress of the United
States was going somehow ERE
long to meet with humiliating
baekset. AS to the Cherokee ma
tional council, that has never been
anything but a pocket instrument
of some nature which a long
lineage of SO. called Indian attorn-
eys have used to conjure money
out of the Cherokee treasury; that
Col. Owen, when it ceased to let
it's magic work so as to effectuate
his designs upon our Cherokee
funds, should turn and kick it out
of his way as he would an old
patent machine that had become
too badly worn to do profitable
service, was nothing more than
what one of ordinary discernment
might have anticipated. But to
see him rise in his majesty with
mighty hand and an outstretched
arm, looming over the horizon in
longitude and latitude like the
flaming god Of day; and to see the
United States capital and the
great congress therein assembled,
hitherto thought to be unsurpass
able, but now paling before him
into indistinguishable obscurity,
like the intellectual fire" of the
glow worm in the presence of the
morning. l tell you, Mr.. Editor,
that is something which the ut
most reach of my forecast had
never anticipated. 1t is wonder
full, wonderful o, Robert, Rob-
ertl Surprising all measure, thou
art great. The worms ate Herod ]
up because the people adored him
as a god when, in fact, he was not;
but, am sure, the finite adOra-
tion which have to render thee
cannot in like manner endanger
the integrity of thine incompatible
skin; for, be thou what thou
mayst, thou art, at the least, some-
thing above the human.
But to be serious; it is only
folly to attempt to conduct a se-
rious discussion of legal, or moral
questions with a professional lob
byist; for with such men all mo-
tives are derived from the domain
of sslishness, incorporating
desire usurps the jurisdiction of
reason, and the best framed syllo-
gisms when hurled at them are
simply parried with the stupid re-
torts: "'Taint so;" "taint true;"
"don't believe it," "you're
crank" etc.
For these reasons. | shall not

with you the legal merits Of the
$4, 100000 claim asjust in issue by
you between the Eastern and
Western Chsrokees. shall only
ask you one simple question and
solicit your best and most candid
answer. But before doing go, let
me administer to you only a briet
word of friendly exhortation.
Robert, don't forget yourself.
Remember that you are an Indian,
a Cherokee Indian. You are not
sufficiently civilized to embark at
full length in the shaming, shys-
tering, mereenary methods of
raliocination that characterize the
lobbies of the United States capi-
tai. In answering my question,
let me intrust you to speak like an
Indian, and not like a trained
white man; that is to say, with
candor from the bottom of your
soul and to the best of your ability.
Plant yourself on the law and the
eternal principles of right. Let
brains, instead of bias, have sway,
and let conscience come down
from the shelf and have little to
say in the matter. In word, be
a true Indian, and that is TO be
man.
Before submitting any question,
| will be permitted to introduce
here a brief extract from the
fourth article of the treaty of 1916,
as follows:
"Inasmuch as the territory be-
fore mentioned became the prop
erty of the whole of the Cherokee
nation by the operation of the
treaty Of 1928, the Cherokees then
west of the Mississippi, by equit-
able operation Of the same treaty,
acquired a common interest in the
lands occupied by the Cherokees
sast of the Mississippi" etc.
Now admitting that you (repre-
senting the Eastern Cherokees,) } |
sold them lands east of the Mis-
3issippi in lump, and that these
our million dollars are a part of
he purchase money received, by !
what law would you be author /
zed to pocket the whole sum, with /
)ut accounting to the Western /
for their portion of it? /
Be good enough, Robert, to give
he public the benefit of your
,iews upon this point in your
,ase. Also refer my question, if
'ou please, to your learned asso-
iates, and all of you fellows come
nut from behind the curtain into
'road daylight, and talk plainly

Keeping Vegetables,

Vegetables should never be put into
the cellar, as many of them contain
acids which will absorb the poison Of
the ground air, and If eaten will prove
very unhealthy, and If allowed to re-
main will rapidly decompose and fill
the air which arises to the upper rooms
with a poison that will undoubtedly
cause much mischief. Potatoes should
not be exposed to the sun, but kept in
some dry place where the light and air
can always strike them.
