Hemenway Discusses His Own Case.

Mr. Hemenway OF Indian republican,
agreed with Mr.. Hepburn. Coming down to
his own case, he said that he had been
accused of bringing about an increase of
salary IN a third-class post Office in his
district. Mr. Hemenway said that the post
master at that place gets 81, 400 a year. He
pays one young man S35 month for work
Ing fourteen hours a day in his office and
a young lady 81 week for working ten
hours a day. Although this postmaster
pays out $UbS year or his salary for cier-
tcal assistance, the Post Office Department
held that 500 q year allowance for cler-
ical hire was excessive.
Mr.. Hemenway contended that If this
postmaster paid the ordinary wages of a
day laborer working eight hours a day
not the seven and one-half hours which
the 400 and 81 800 clerks in the depart
ments work. but the eight hours of the la
boring mamie wouldn't have a nickel of
his salary left. He declared that IL was a
hurning shame and disgrace that the third
class postmasters were required to pay
such low wages TO their clerks
MIR Hemenway also explained the case
whefe he had recommended the removal of
the post office to another building more
aoNahtaseously located and better fitted

was that the government by reason of tbe

Effects Of Civiliratiou.

Il The Kansas City Stars Muskogee correspondents has
the following to say regarding absorption Of the In
dian races In this territory;
There has been much said about the probable effect
upon the Indian when he to be an Indian IN 1906
and becomes citizen of the United States with eoa
rights and no more protection than anyone else but there
has been little said and perhaps less thought about the
effect this transition viii have on the white population
OF the state WIN the Indian characteristics breed out
III intermarrages with whites and become extinct or
VIII the Indian blood stamp its characteristics ON the
white race and make distinct OF people? The pop
uaton of Kansas and Oklahoma is cosmopolitan and less
provincial than any state of the union perhaps but they
did not minge with the Indian They forced him out Of
his original territory into what Is now Indian Territory
and here he has been surrounded by the impossible walls
OF civilization The Indian has been 'cIyilzed TO the
nrSt degree and what is left of the aboriginal in him
must here be absorbed by the white population which il
swallowing him up
The census OF 1900 gave the number OF Indians in In
dian Territory who not taxed as 5l3o3 The last
annual report Of the Secretary Of the Interior shows that
there are $1,000 who have been admitted TO the Citizen
snip rolls but II is certain that this does not Indicate ali

Tor citizenship as follows: Semlnoles 3O7o Choctavs
so Tio; Creeks 1926 ohckasaws l3l76 Cherokees "a
l54 Quawpaws, l469 IL is only fair TO assume that
many rejected applicants had some Indian blood which
would make the total population Of Indian blood nearly
10000 OF these large proportion have 80 little Indian
blood that they readily pass for whites The proportion
OF fubloods very smal much more so than general
ly supposed
Although the per cent Of pure Indian blood is small
yet II sufficient to produce Indian strain for many
generations In the population Of Indian Territory The
evidences Of Indian ancestry traceabe for many gene
rations and even after the eae marks OF feature and
physique have disappeared mental and moral traits OF
the aboriginal stock remain, good Indian pedigree Is
looked upon with pride and whites have intemarrled
freely The Indian may die out but 1t will be many
generations before the stamp he leaves upon white stock
will disappear

What a Lawyer should Charge.

In the trial OF the heirs Of John Carlisle against hls
executor, Thomas H. Carroll at Mobery the other day.
the question as to how large fee lawyer ought to
charge under certain conditions was raised Several
lawyers were called to testify on the point Senator
Walker said the size OF the fee ought to depend on the
character Of the client "Some clients said he ''wIll
talk you to death and consult the most trivia points
These should be charged accordingly and ought to pay
more than the client vino takes very little Of your time
The array OF counsel opposing lawyer ought also in
some measure to determine his fee, Senator Walker
thought IL was developed that In settling up estates
lawyers charge according to the size Of the property The
following fees the lawyers thought, were reasonable:

and for the most part spent II the socalIed freed
man can prove that he has Indian blood In his veins In
the opinion OF the attoneygene he had no more right
to sell his land than before the appropriation act was
passed Another very important feature of the opinion
is that the act does not purpose remedy any defects
instruments that drawn up prior to its approval II any
instrument was drawn up before the approval which
might be valid under existing conditions the said nstru
ment is nevertheless defective. All land men who wish
to take freedmen titles WILL it Is supposed require the
freedmen to make adayit in each that they have
not so fara hey know, any Indian blood This aida-
Wit should be made matter of record and in case the
transaction went before the the purchaser of the
freedmens land might in measure be protected
