The old cry that was INDUCED
in for many years, that the In
dams were obstructing the work
Of the Dawes commission, can no
longer be raised. 1t is the Secre-
tary OF the Interior now that is
hindering the commission and
complicating affairs in the Indian
Territory. His recent order elm
mating the intermarried whites
from the rolls OF citizenship and
sending the case to the court of
claims for adjudication means a
waste of valuable time. In the
end this class Of citizens will all
be enrolled and share the in the
distribution of land, and the Sec
retar Q order will only embarrass
the commission in its efforts to
finish up a very complicated task.
