SLOW PROCESS TO GET HOMES.
Delay in Making Entries Is Retarding
Settlement Of New Land.

Under the system of filing which
follows the government legalized lot
terry. more than sixty days will be
consumed. This delay is liable to
retard the substantial settlement Of
the new country and cause people to
hesitate about bringing in stock until
they are satisfied they have a claim.
No one knows whether the claim
selected has been previously tiled on
or not until filing papers have been
accepted. The system inaugurated
by the government in opening the new
country was intended to prevent as
nearly as possible a repetition Of the
many contests which have followed
every previous opening Of public
lands ia Oklahoma, but it IS predicted
hat there will be equally as many,
and perhaps more OF them over the
land lately opened
A great many questions must be
settled. one Of the most important
contentious viii be based on the propo-
sition that the executive branch Of
the government has no legislative
powers. nor can the legislative
branch delegate such powers.
II this contention is correct there
win be enough changes in the home
stead law made in the presidents
proclamation to keep the courts busy
for some time TO come, There is a
general sentiment which obtains that
whatever the executive and the de.
partment say is law. but this Is not
wholly true. for in former cases the
Judiciary stepped in and interpreted
the law, There is a case Of this kind
over quarter section adjoining El
Potter VS. Hall. In this contest
over settlement made in 1889. Potter
won / nthe land offices. United sta es
commissioners office secretary OF the
interiors Office and the board of re-
view. He received his patent, but In
proceedings before the courts Potter
lost out.
District Judge Tarsney on a cross
peti ion, declared the patent held by
Potter to be a trust for the benefit OF
the territorial supreme court affirm
Mrs Hall, the other contestant and
ed the decision. According TO that,
hese questions now coming up be-
fore the land officials may be finally
heard and passed upon by the courts
and mere departmental opinion is
not law.

TOO FEW CATTLE FOR pAwNEE.
Tax Payers Protest That Usage AS
sessments Are Too Low.

Tax payers Of Pawnee county are
protesting vigorously against the con
duct of certain county officers respon-
slble for the returns made to the as
SCISSOR on cattle in the Usage Indian
reservation which is attached to Paw
nee county for judicial purposes. The
number of cattle returned this year
for taxation was so small as to aro Use
not only ridicule but anger, and in
situations of damaging nature are
made openly on the streets.
An arrangement was entered into
whereby the cattlemen in the Usage
country agred that the number of their
cattle should be reported by a single
agent to the special assessor appoint
ed by the commissioners Of Pawnee
county. This relieved each cattle
man of personal responsibility as to
the accuracy of the numbers reported
by the agent. one cattleman, who
is said to have nearly 10000 head in
the Usage country appeared on the
assessors lists as owning only about
100 head, and this ratio Is said to
hold good for nearly twenty cat le-
men. Il is estimated that in his fail
ure to list the actual number of cat
tie In the Usage pastures, Pawnee
county has been mulcted in the sum
of fully sl5O,OOO.
The number of cattle repor ed by
the special assessor was so small that
the commissioners came near refusing
to approve the tax list. In 1900 the
total number OF cattle reported In the
Kaw and Usage reservations, both Of
which was attached to Pawnee coun-
ty, was 7O,36O. Last winter the Kaw
country was at ached to Kay county.
The number of cattle reported from
the Kaw couatry for 1901 was 1888,
and from the Usage 2S,14l. a total Of
44.0G7. Many counties repor, more
cattle this year than the Usage coun-
try. This criticism OF Fawnee county
officers is reaching sensational
point, and Il IS not improbable that a
new assessor viii be appointed to re.
assess the Usage country,

TO Fit THE CRIME

washington. Sept. lO.--The law Of
fcers of the Government feel that
there is httleassistauce which the Fed
eral law branch can give in prosecut-
ing the man who shot President Nc
Kinley. II was said by leading law
official that the Federal laws made no
provision for assaults upon the Presi-
dent the latter being only citizen In
the eye OF the Federal law.
There are statutes which make pun
ishible personal violence TO minor Of
hcials. such as internal revenue agents,
hut. notwithstanding the fact that two
Presidents have been assassinated and
attempts have been made upon the
lives OF two more no law has ever
been passed TO place an attempt on the
life of the President on the same plane
as high treason
The right OF the Federal Government
10 protect its Chief Executive seems
too clear for question II the Presi-
dent should be spared TO the American
people. Il is to be feared that the assas-
sin can be convicted OF no higher
crime than assault with intent to kill.
Having regard for the immense conse-
