Where designing men are in
power, fraud may be practiced
with impunity under color Of
law. The following facts show
how completely the natives of
Indian Territory are at the mer-
cy of certain men whose sworn
duty is to protect them. Sec
tion 2103 of the federal statutes
provides that
"No agreement shall be made
by any person with any tribe of
Indians or individual Indians

any money or other thing of

So the criminal statutes for the

DEATH OF JOHN r.. MORRIS.

The special dispatch in this morn
ing's Messenger announcing the death
in Baltimore yesterday morning of
John r. Morris will bring sorrow to
hundreds of people in this state. There
was no more popular man in the state.
He was beloved as we'll as respected
by all who knew him. Genial, whole
souled, warm-hearted-for these quail
tiles he was loved. Upright, honest
and a Christian-for these he was
respected. He was also a man of
bright intellect and captivating man
ners. He was known from n end
of the state to the other by his oc-
casional bright newspaper writings to
those who did not ave the good
fortune of his personal acquaintance.
To those near relatives who survive
him The Messenger tenders sincere
sympathy. A good man has gone to
his rest. Peace to his ashes. Eternal
happiness to his soul.

THANKS TO MIR. ROOSEVELT.

That was a inc piece of areas os
the United Daughters of the C~Onfeder-
acy OF Texas in adopting resolutions
thanking the president for his endorse
ment of the principle of secession. He
will hardly admit though that he has
led the people of the north "out of the
fog of ignorance into the bright realms
of truth On this question. We would
like to know what were Mr.. Roosevelt's
thoughts and feelings when he frs
heard of the adoption of these resolu-
tons. We doubt, if they were put in
words whether they would be fit for
the ears of the ladies who passed the
resolutions. The idea of a resolution by
a body of southern people declaring 10
h president of the United States that
he has by his recent course shown ~
the world his endorsement of the prin-
ciple OF secession. How Mr.. Roosevelt
must have grit his teeth and sworn at
these Texas ladies. That does not
worry them, though. They have the
pleasing satisfaction of knowing the
enjoy it to the full. The adoption Of
such a resolution by u body OF ladies
puts the president in a ridiculous light
and that is what hurts.

On the programme for Friday Of the
North Carolina FresS Association then

to the White house to be presented TO
the president. The programme. lncIud-
ing this feature, was published in the
washington morning papers. but TINS

cause a number of the editors declared
that they would not be presented to
Mr.. Roosevelt. The Raleigh Posts
Washington correspondent quotes
President Warner, of the aSSo-
citation, as saying regarding this Incl
dent. Il do not think there was any
desire on the part Of the members CT
the party to call on the president and
nay their respects. In fact. only one
member suggested such thing, though
some of US might have called out OF
courtesy. l for one was opposed TO

Those of the North Carolina editors

THE CONGRESSIONAL TANGLE.

Was there ever before such a po-
1itical muddIe rs has resulted from
tins extra session of congress? The
house passes a bill to carry into
effect Il treaty with Cuba which the
senate has heretofore ratified by 4
twO-thirds' vote. The senate refuses
even to vote upon the measure. y
majority vote only is necessary to pass
n bill. and very probably a majority
OF the senators are in favor of 1t
and would vote for it could it be
brought to a vote; still action on the
measure is a thing of the indefinite

future. One thing is cerLain-the SEN
ate will not vote upon it at this ses-
sion. The house has persistently' re-
fused to adjourn the extra session
until the senate has voted on thet bill,
and the latter body has been ju3t as
obstinate in declining 20 take the vote
at this session. The extra session will
expire by Limitation at II O'Clock
noon on Monday, hen the regular
session begins, SO the senate has little
time in which to change It's position
Should the easur go over in the
senate we suppose the bill will la
to be voted on again in the house at
the regular session. This, if it be
so, will not delay matters to any ex-
tent. a the house can, under
it's cloture rules, make short work of
the matter, as it did early in this
session.
Another tangle which has been
brought about by the deadlock be-
tween the two houses, the failure of
the nominations sent in by the presi-
dent, will cause much worry and
trouble as we'll as confusion. AS an
~nounced in the press dispatches, all
these will fail on which h lat
has neglected to act unless there IS
a recess between the two sessions of
sufficient length to allow the preSi-
dent to renew them as recess APP
pointmentS-
This extra session of congress has
accomplished nothing whatever. 1t
has been a useless expenditure of
thousands of dollars and has left
public affairs in worse condition than
had it not been called. There really
was no necessity for it, but the presi-
dent was bent on getting the Cuban
legislation out of h way before the
regular session of congress. He was
afraid if the matter be left to the
regular session it might be used by
some of its opponents in the senate
as a lever in securing or attempting
to secure amendments to appropria-
ton or other bills of a character not
desired by the administration forces
in congress-. There is a chance, if il
goe yer of its playing an impor-
ant part in attempts to secure new
tariff legislation.

torpedo boat Adder. When he plunged

and encountered with a line in his
hand n another tied to his waist.
His chances of reaching the Adder
were few indeed and there was small
prospect of his surviving the venture.
and even should he succeed in getting
aboard the laundering vessel, there
were doubts as to his being able to
accomplish the purpose for which he
braVed such perils. But he took no

1HE original Sinbad the Sailor of
"sArabian Nights" fame was a
prevaricator. Of that fact
there is no doubt. Neither is
there any doubt in my mind that such
a character existed in ancient. times.
"There is nothing new in the world"
It's all happened before, and realizing
this as fact we enjoy reading histor-
ical romances which give us true
insight of the lives of the so-called
Faithful.
Altho generations have passed since
Sinbad of old cashed in, we have with
us Sinbad, not Sinbad Sailor but
Sinbad the Landsman. It is simply
history repeating itself. 1t is well to
give every one his due, and 1 am will

usual, ODSIrucLoU .trdfllc, destroyed
property and lbrutally assaulted the
men who were employed by its COM
pany to run the cars. The militia was
called out to preserve peace. Among
the militia was a man who also be-
longed to the labor union. The or
ganization Immediately expelled the
guardsman, thereby taking the ground
that no member of the union may
serve the state. Let me add right
here that altho this case has caused
much indignant comment it is by, no
means isolated. In the strike of the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Co. several
years ago I know that several union
men who Loyalty obeyed the call of the
state were forced to resign from the
union. They were not expelled, but
were made to feel so uncomfortable
that they had no choice but to resign.
Thus organized, labor says that any
citizen who serves his country as "a
National Guardsman must suffer loss
Of employment. II this is not open
opposition to government, what is /?
Indeed it IS but a short step to anarchy
In almost every case where union
men strike, they do so with the ex-
pectation of forcing the employers to
terms. They strike, feeling confident
that by boycott and violence they will
accomplish their object In reviewing
the history of the strikes of recent
years, one is confronted with an awful
record of destruction and death. What
the labor. organization of today fears
more than all else is the strict enforce
nlent of law and order! A few months
the post Office department Instructed
a committee to examine letter boxes
with view to attaching the same on
street cars, thereby giving the public
isesterl faeili ties The gonasra ::satae
pointed reported favorably, and then
in steps the labor union. The unions
have sent to President Roosevelt "a
vigorous protest, saying that if letter
boxes are attached to street cars the
railroad company could run their cars
with impunity during strike.
Why shouldn't they run their cars
In this country there never was and
never will be a law saying that all
rights and privileges of corporation
must cease because their employees
quit. Nevertheless, it is becauses the
union feels confident of stopping traffic,
or business as the case may be, that it
strikes.
| am not opposed to labor organiza-
tions-that is based on conservative
principles. Organization that is in
corporated and clothed with lt,!al
dignity and responsibility. An or
ganization that will recognize at all
times and under all circumstances the
supreme majesty of the law. An or
ganization that makes for peace and
good will toward all men. One that
will uphold the doctrine that to work
at any time and under any condition
he pleases is every mans. supreme
right under the government and one of
Heavens greatest blessings. F. T.
