Ex-senator Jones.
ON the Fort Smith Elevator.

From the Fort Smith Elevator.
With the close Of the 57th congress
the Hon. James X. Jones leaves field
of labor which will miss him. For
thirty years Senator Jones has been in
in public life, and throughout his Off q.
cial career he has been faithful to his
party, his state and his honor. In the
main the South has reason to be proud
OF the clean records which have marked
the course Of her representatives in
national affairs, and no state, north or
south, has greater reason for such
pride than Arkansas. From the begin
ming Of her statehood she has furnished
more than an average number Of states
men who have won honorable distinC-
ton in public service. Among these is
James X. Jones. He fought Demo.
cracy battles at time when our state
was struggling to free herself from the
oppression of reconstruction and carpet
bag rule and he has fought them fear
lessly and consistently ever since. In
retiring, he takes with him the highest
respect of his national associates, the
warmest esteem Of his fellow citizens
and an unsullied name.

Attitude of lntermarrIed Citizens.

From the Muskogee Times
| Relative to the recent order cutting
off intermarried Cherokee citizens, it
may be stated that in preparing these
schedules in the future, the name OF
no white intermarried persons will be
included until the opinion Of the court
Of claims is rendered in the case. In
the meantime, the commission has de-
cided to allow intermarried citizens to
file on the same terms that doubtful
citizens are permitted to file. That IL
to say the lands they select for their
allotments will be reserved for them
pending the final determination Of their
cases before the courts.
All white adopted citizens OF the
Cherokee nation stand in the attitude Of
claimants to cititizcnship,
The decision Of the court Of claims
may be forthcoming very soon or it
may be long delayed, In any event It's
action will necessarily have TO he pa.

1t is the opinion Of the best lawyers
that this class Of citizens may properly
go into the courts and demand their

made to Cherokee citizens heretofore In

Let the South Alone, Mr.. Roosevelt
New York American February 2sd.

New York American, February 29d
President Roosevelt has succeeded in
exciting the whole South. BY his
ostensible attempts to bridge the chasm
which separates the whites and blacks
there he has only widened It,
Was that his intention2 A politician
caring everything for negro delegates
to the national Republican convention
and nothing for the peace and progress
OF the South would not scruple to incite
race antagonism in order TO accomplish
his purpose. a statesman sincerely de-
sirous Of furthering the welfare of both
the whites and blacks or one especially
anxious to advance the interests Of the
blacks, would not set about his work
by inhaming each race against the
other.
Intentionally or otherwise, that IL

done Processing the noblest motives,

being felt by the whole country
Proclaiming that the door OF hope
and opportunity shall be closed to
no man on account of his color, the
president chose to open door which
has led not to hope and opportunity,
but TO bitterness and strife.
Mr.. Roosovet's theory is exalted, of
course, but why did he lay his opening
hand on a door IN section Of the com
try where, as he must have known,
benefit to the negroes could not attend
his act, however fruitful it might be in

BIDS ON MARKET HOUSES.
They Are All Referred tn the Ensin-

The Board of Public Works yesterday re-
ceived bids for the iron and steel work on
the new vegetable and dover and fruit
market houses. Bids were received some
time ago. but as the board was given no
definite assurance as TO when the work
could he done. on account of the uncertainty
as to when material could be procured from
the mills, the bids were rejected and read
vertised for. The Brown-ketcham iron
works was one bidder. For the work on the
flower and fruit house the company's bid
was S1,aS5 the work 10 be completed in
ninety days. For completing the work in
sixty days the company's bid was $3.50.

While President Roosevelt delivering
his short and meaty speech in this city
some one in the audience embraced the
opportunity of a closing sentence to shout
Indiana is with you." and the President
answered, II know Indiana is with me"
The man with the voice was right. Indiana
is with President Roosevelt because he is
Republican President and Indiana is Re-
publican State. The only condition in which
Indiana in the present state of politics
would not be for a Republican President
would be If he were to depart from Repub-
lican principles or policies, and everybody
knows Mr.. Roosevelt has not done that.
The strength of his administration is
largely due to the fact that he has been so
faithful to the declared principles and best
traditions of the party. AS Senator Hanna
said in his opening speech at the Ohio con-
vention:
Republicans to-day can congratulate
themselves that in the direction of national
anafrs they have realized all they hoped
for and all they expected in the administra-
ton of Theodore Roosevelt We look back
but a few short months when that heroic
young man, standing under the gloom or
that awful tragedy at Buffalo. feeling and
approaching the responsibilities which had
come upon him, and in the presence of the
American people made that sacred promise
to them that, to the best of his ability, with
his heart full of desire. it should be his aim
to carry out the policies of President Nc
Kinley. And how well he has succeeded We
all know; and we all feel-as this conven-
ton will express-an appreciation of that
administration.
Indiana Republicans can approve and ap-
| plaud that even as Ohio Republicans did.
| In this sense ii is entirely true that Indiana
is with Roosevelt No doubt that was the
sense in which the President understood the
| remark when he answered, 'I know Indiana
| is with me-" The President has been in
| Indiana before, and has met and travelled
| with Indiana Republicans, and he knows
what variety they belong to. He was not
| bidding for the Endorsement of an Indiana
convention for denomination, because he
| knew that Indiana does not hold a State
| convention this year, and before 1T does the
question of his denomination will have been
determined by the action of other State
| conventions. But it was gratifying to him
| to know that Indiana Republicans were
| indorsing his administration every day in
the year, and from the fullness of his heart
| he said, 81 know Indiana is with me- AS
| his denomination is practically assured, 1t
| is safe to predict that Indiana will be with
him on the Sth of November 1904
