They are advocating the allotment OF
their lands in severalty. and swear
they win submit to nothing else. They
have it In specially for the railroad
company, and threaten 10 tear up the

satisfy them but the ejectment ofevery
white citizen from their country and

good reason % hope for The enactment
Of either bil- It Is getting too late in
the session
This IS only e common sense view
q the situation. as seen from this
vantage point Moreover. regardless
of those bills mentioned. there are
numerous matters Of inteuss interest
to all Of the people Of the Indian Ter.
r.tory. which have been almost IN
soleHtiy ignored.
Congressman Little Of Arkansas.
who introduced the court bill for
okemah. says that he has not been
able 10 get the committee 70 take up
the bill. and that there seems 10 be
no disposition to take It up. Congress
man Brundidge Of Arkansas. who In.
troduced the commissioner bin for
Boswell City. says that he has some
prospect Of getting that bill reported
this week. but bills which are reported
most favorably this late in the session
have little show OF becoming laws.
because they must be passed by the
senate as well as the house Of repre-
sentatives, and must also receive the
approval Of the president in every
case.
Those Arkansas congressman are
good fellows. and would DO anything
in reason for the bills. but. for ex-
ample. how can they be expected 20
neglect their own districts and push
bills Tor Indian Territory? That is an
example Of how Indian Territory fares
In the congress. Even when there
happens 10 be a few men disposed 10
help the territory. and to aid individ-
ual enterprises there. you see the con
gressmen have 10 look first after the
interests Of their own districts. Take
that Boswell City bill. for instance.
Congressman Brundidge introduced II,
and had 1t referred TO a proper com.
mittee, Congressman Randell Of Tex
as went before the committee and
urged its passage. Then Congress
man Brownlow Of Tennessee was ask.
ed to look after the bill. and he did
so. But Just as each one Of these men
was about 10 ask recognition for call
ing up the bill they received word
from their several homes that they
must get recognition for bills Of inter.
est to their own districts. OF course.
they had TO obey orders from the peo-
pie that elect them 10 congress. Con
sequently they could not do any more
for the territory.
