Statements and Questions.

The Guthrie Leader, under the
heading of Three Republican state
ments and Three Questions says;
oIt has been shown that the Indian
Territory has mo- axable values. aside
from personal property"
How about railroads?
"It has been shown that under the
treaties and laws there can be no tax
able realty there under twenty years
time"
How about section 16 of the Creek
supplemental agreement, which reads;
16. Lands allotted TO citizens shall
not in any manner whatever or at
any time. be encumbered, taken, or
sold TO secure or satisfy any debt
or obligation, nor be alienated by the
allottee or his heirs, before the expir-
alton of FIVE years from the date OF
the approval of this supplemental
agreement, except with the approval
of the secretary of the interior. Each
citizen shall select from his allotment
forty acres of land, or a quarter of a
section, taxable inalienable. and free
from any incumbrance whatever for
twenty-one years from the date OF the
deed therefor. and a separate deed
shall be issued TO each allottee for his
homestead. in which this condition
shall appear.
Also how about section 16 Of
the Choctaw-Chickasaw supplemental
agreement, which reads:
Sec. 16. All lands allotted to mem
bers of said tribes, except such land
as is set aside to each for a homestead
as herein provided shall be alienable
after issuance of patent as follows:
"One-fourth in acreage in one year,
one-fourth in acreage in three years,
and the balance in five years; in each
case from the date Of patent; provid-
ed. that such land shall not be alien
ated at any time before the expiration
of the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribal
governments for less than its apprais.
ed value"
According to Hon. Tams Bixby OF
the Dawes commission, there is 10,
69O.921 acres Of land TO be allotted
under the Choctaw- -Chickasaw agree
ment, which gives 32O acres TO each
allotment; the homestead covers f6C
acres according to section 10 of thai
agreement This leaves 100 acres o.
each allotment. or 5,345,41O acres
saleable and taxable, in one to fiv,
years, in the Choctaw and Chickasav
Nations.
Is the Hon. Tams Bixby right?
This 5,345, 40 acres of saleable an,
taxable land is probably worth 81
per acre. or S53.4541OO.
Is that an item Of taxation wortl
noticing?
Every acre of land in the entir
Territory is to be allotted per capitt

directions, of which number only 121 were
trucks, express or delivery wagons. There

INDIAN LAND LEASES GO

President Decides Hitchcock Course

Concerned.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The delegation Of
Sioux Indians from Standing Rock will
leave here soon with their war feathers
trailing in the dust. They were informed
by the great father that the order of Big
Chief Hitchcock concerning grazing
leases on the Indian lands would pre-
vail the law of the reservation. The

Office that they would carry assurances
that the plans Of the interior department
would be revised. But they failed. The
president listened to the tale of woe Of
the Indians and decided that the regula-
lions prescribed by the secretary Of the
interior on the recommendation of the
committee on Indian affairs would best
subserve their interests, and accordingly
he informed the Reds that he approved
the course of the department officials.
This question has been agitating the
South Dakota delegation for several days,
and 1t has also been considered by Presi-
dent Roosevelt who brought it UP before
the cabinet meeting and the course of
Secretary Hitchcock was approved.

the maelstrom of international bicker-
ings, but it is pointed out that the Brit
ish press and politicians will not fail to
use the eclat of this event in its widest
possible scope. Great Britain is abso-
lutely isolated in Europe, but this extra
ordinary international courtesy cannot be
explained to continental diplomats as the
mere whim of a petted girl and the doting
fondness of an atfectionate parent.
& The shrewdest diplomats here say that
should this rumor develop into fact it
will tend to nullify some of the shrewd-
est diplomacy of past years, through
which Great Britain has been brought to
consider an intervention in South Africa

news be officially verified all hope that
President Roosevelt's ancestral tradi-
lions will influence him in favor of the

The Boer interest and the anti-imper-
ialists and anti-royalists have Joined
hands to prevent what they consider g
catastrophe. Shrewd leaders of the re-
publican policies are also quietly encour-
aging the campaign. 1t is doubtful if the
sweet will Of young girl was ever ar
rayed against so gigantic a combination
as confronts Miss Roosevelt's desire tt

Why don't you close the saloons on Sun

ercise the same endeavor to suppress ex-
else law breaking as in the case of any
other form of crime" and, so speaking,
thrusts his hands deep into his pockets
lest the surplus of mirth escape prema-

Then in chorus they all chant:
"But the Raines Law hotel is sink Of
iniquity and blot on the scutcheon.''
And from the district where the hair 10

What to Wear to Avoid Smallpox

weather should be soft, not rigid, and well
ventilated. That is to say, it should have
several inlets for fresh air at the sides
and a fairly large outlet at the top. In
summer the straw hat OF the American
type is the only correct headwear from
health point of view.
All collars are a hygienic abomination.
The neck is always in motion and con-
tinually changing it's shape. Hence it
should either be quite uncovered, or have
a soft, flexible covering which would
adapt itself to requirements. Our stiff
collars construct the veins and prevent
the used-up blood from returning freely
from the brain. They chafe the skin and
irritate the glands which are so numerous
in the neck. These glands have very i'm
portant function to perform in removing
waste products from the brain. Conse-
quently, when they are infamed the brain
suffers. Any one who wishes to have a
clear head should wear the lowest of
collars. In the region of the tie, again,
we utterly disregard health for appear
ance. Just underneath are the delicate
bronchial tubes and the apices of the
lungs, which require to be warmly COW

Although men are not open to the
charge of tight-lacing, they generally
wear their clothing too tight round the
lower part of the body. One Of the laws
of healthy dress is that free movement of
the body must not be interfered with.
But it is not an easy matter for a man
who aims to being well-dressed to stoop
and lace his boots, or even to bend over a
table to write. This certainly should
not be the case, for not only is it uncom-
Portable, but very often dangerous. In
foot-covering we sin most deeply against
the principles of hygiene. The single fact
that the foot is not allowed to come fiat

Mew York suu snecEay Service

Washington, Feb. 1.-The fact that Miss
Alice Roosevelt will be an honored guest
at the coronation of King Edward was at
first received with incredulity through
out the diplomatic and official world Of
Washington. 1t is gradually taking shape
as a fact to be admitted, and diplomats
are busy forecasting the influence of this
visit at this time. The unofficial an
nouncement comes as cold douche upon
the hopes Of the pro-Boers. The anti
imperalists are also incensed.
Considerable delicacy Is observed in
criticisms, as Americans are loath to
bring the personality of young girl into
