He soon became dissatisfied with
common ground and began TO
clamor and dig for land in sever

could 'dissuade him frem his

nothing in the act of scratching
and kicking that could dislodge
him; and when he had finished his
process of "allotment" the poor
old dog, the rightful lord of the
soil, was left without hair or hide.

NEED EDUCATING
Little Says Members Of Con-
gress Are Ignoraat in
Regard to Territory.

In an interview at South Meal
lister, Re preventative John S. Lit.
tie, one of the best informed men
on Territory affairs in congress,
discussed the necessity of educat-
ing the eastern members as fol-
lows:
"What is absolutely necessary
for this territory to do is to edu-
cate congress on Indian Territory
matters. While it is often repeat
ed, it is true, that the average east
ern member of congress has no
clear conception of the wonderful
country belonging to the five civil
ized tribes. Often we hear them
refer to the "Indlan reservation"
with such application that their
ignorance is clearly indicated. l
know that enlightenment is neces-
ssfy. You must get together and
make united pull for self govern
ment, catch the members OF the
senate committee on territories
while they are on their Oklahoma
tour this summer, and show them
the truly wonderful resources of
this country. ! shall always fight
to preserve Indian Territory from
being cut up, for | realize her capa-
bilities and needs, and can see
enough Of her future to impress
nae with the injustice of any plan
that would tend to lessen her inn
poztance.
"My advice to Indian Territory
would be: Keep up your fight for
recognition, regardless OF what is
going on around yous unite on self
government and most arduously
push every plan that will enlighten
congress on your condition and de-
sire,l"
In discussing the legislative
measures affecting the Territory,
Mr.. little said:
81 believe that the omnibus
statehood bill can be passed in the
senate with ease. Thereis pos
sibility, however, of the senate
amending the bill! 20 that Indian
Territory may be included in Ok
lahoma's admission. Or, again, if
the bill is passed it may be detci-
mental to Indian Territory's fu-
ture, in as much as provision in
the omnibus measure allows the
addition of any part of Indian Ter
ritory to Oklahoma. Ifthis method
is adopted and such portions of
the present Indian Territory added
to Oklahoma as to insure repub.
lican state. the remaining portion
of this territory will be too sR2all
and cu; up to get recognition OF
any kind"

of the Moone bill and will be one

Nature of Counter Charges Where
Wife Seeks

YpsiIanti. Mich. Feb. lit is an
unusual thing for Il wife to be ar
rested for forging her husbands
name. but Mrs. Clara Klaviter came
mp for examination on such n charge
IN Justice .JOslyn's court last week.
Mrs. Elaviter was working for a di-
vOrce, and the husband. Albert Kla-
vitcr. claims that $50 of the money
she had paid out in attorneys fees,
etc, she obtained by forging his name
to an Ypsilanti Savings bank certifi-
cate of deposit. having secured the
certificate by breaking into his desk,
the day before they separated.
Mrs. Klavir6r'S attorney moved to
Guash the proceedings. on tie ground
that Il husband has no right to bring
suit against his wife, but the prose
cutting attorney held that such n gueS-
ton should be decided at the trial in
the circuit court. and not at the eX-
animation. and he was sustained by
Justice Joslyn. The justice dismissed
the defendant, however. as the savings
bank officials prefeSSed to be unable
to say whether the wife presented the
certificate already signed or whether
she wrote her husbands name in their
presence
