THE UNYIELpINo BRAVE.

The wild, unconquerable. unyielding
character of The Indian, while it in
spires admiration for his beroism, can
but evoke pity for his unwillingness
and inability 20 conform to changing
environments and make the most out
OF them.
Even now the fullblood Creeks are
many OF them casting about for some
wild, remote place where they can
continue their Old life Of hunting and
camping
or all the races of men the Indian
seems most tenacious of Old ideals.
This is due no doubt to the fact that
hi love and hate are both extraordin-
arlly strong. He does not seem to see
that the happy life does not SO much
depend on the particular mode Of liv-
ing, as it does on happy acceptance
OF inevitable conditions and deter
mination to make the best out OF
tnem

white mans life is best or that his
mode Of life IS the only happy one.
but it must be clear TO any individual.
mat the modern civilized life is now
the dominant factor in America, and
to attempt to live at variance with it,
can only add to the difficulties Of ex-
istence and progress

watch word OF civilized nations and

not catch it's significance and regulate

ably doomed TO be trodden down and

No more unbecoming practice has
ever prevailed in American politics
than the biennial attempts of the ad-
ministration to manufacture campaign
thunder.
An excellent illustration of this may
be found in the seemingly vigorously
attack of Attorney General Knox on
the beef packers in Chicago. So Wig
orously was the prosecution at first
that many of the trust magnates be-
came alarmed and were not slow to
make themselves heard. The assault
was so like the genuine article that
even the sturdiest, who did not know
what was going on uembled
What has come of it all? The pack
ers nled demurrers and the courts ad
journed for vacation. which insures
the pendancy OF the cases during the
campaign.
What viii become of the cases
when the campaign is overy This. OF
course, is conjecture, but so far as
the election is concerned it will not
matter The necessary show OF vigor
has been made. the stack used as
evidence of good intention and the
campaign waged on the apparent in
tention rather than the accomplished
fact
is very likely so far as the pack
ers are concerned that they will dis
solve the pool and form a big merger
just after election and so upset the
whole proceeding, but not until it has
first been used for campaign thunder.

people. The issue. of tariff revision
has received thoughtful discussion and
consideration and the majority of
American voters are now arrayed
against the Republican party on this
issue.
The position of the high tariff Re
publicans s weak The late President
Mckinley saw that the time had come
for the tariff to be revised, and his
plea for reciprocity, made but few
days before his death, was a move in
this direction President Roosevelt is
trying TO carry out Mr.. McKinley's
policy on this issue But the repre-
sentatives of the trusts, who have
control of the Republican national
machine, will no more favor recipro-
city than tariff revision outright.
They are instructed by the trusts that
the maintenance of the monopolies
enjoyed by the trusts win be impos-
siDle if there Is any tariff tinkering
In accordance with these instructions
they now insist that the tariff shall
be held inviolate.
Democratic campaign arguments
may well be centered on this most Wit
al of issues. Tariff revision is upper

tariff revision will command tremen

suck a fight will be so distinctly
Democratic. so proper to the party
that has steadfaslly opposed and eon-

tariff idea, as to evoke the most en-

Congress has never admitted any
reservation to Oklahoma or any other
state or territory without liberal en-
dowment for their public schools and
there is no reason to believe they will
no do justice to that part o. the state
when both are admitted as a single

In all candor does it not look like
Republicans stood for statehood for
Oklahoma alone.
If Oklahoma gets statehood alone
there can be little doabt but that In

separate territory in the near future.
There is not a little talk Of that very
thing over there now
If they do the two territories are
more apt to grow apart than to grow

Now is the time to unite them if

GRAND STAND PLAY

OF Mr.. KNOX.
Toward the latter part of the late
congressional session, the outery
against the trusts was so strong that
the majority party felt that something
must be done to allay the popular re-
eminent
The situation became so grievous,
that strong pressure was brought TO
bear on congress for additional leg
islation. on the theory that, that now
on the statute books was inadequate
and inefficient
The trusts for time greatly feared
that congress might be compelled by
this popular outcry 10 pass harmful
legislation.
At this jucture Attorney Geneial
Knox came to their rescue. The learn
ed gentleman quickly discovered that
the statutes already enacted were
quite sufficient to suppress the trusts.
The unknowing might presume he
had just discovered the law.
This fact was communicated TO con
gress and the people and some were
fo1lish enough to exult in the dlscov-
cry
The attorney general then began
with much gusto series of prosecu-
tions against the trusts. The suits
we're preceded and followed by much
pyro.echnic display to attract the
public eye.
The sham battle had all The appear
ances of reality and even frightened
some Of the gentlemen, who did not
understand that Mr.. Knox was cor.
poration attorney as well as attorney
general
The people, a pari of them at least,
breathed easier and actually believed
that something was TO be done.
There was something done but II in
no wise harmed any OF the big com
bines.
Mr.. Knox went to Europe and Is
there yet and VIII be until after cleo
ton
The suits he began with blare Of
'rumpets are pending, and have
reached the chronic stage Of the dis
oruer.

evident feelings of victorious accomp

able in the last six years to collect
over $4,000 900 900 of taxes out of the
pockets of the people into the national
treasury
Not content with this Unprecedented
record as a tax gatherer, the senator
in a recent review proceeds to point
out that there are still other millions
that might be reached by the collect
or Of taxes and much wealth that
might be ralSed into the national cof-

This is not the first time in the hist
ory Of nations that men at the head

the nation existed for the purpose Of
taxing the people and that the great
