NOT AGAINST TRUST LAWS
State Of Texas Lost its Suit Against
Katy Railway

AUSTIN, TEN. The state OF Tex.
as lost its suit against the Missouri.
Kansas and Texas railway company
and American Express company for
heavy penalties for alleged violation
of the antitrust law, under a decision
rendered by Judge Brooks in the dis.
trict court. Judge Brooks held that
the act of the American Express com.
pany in entering into an exclusive
contract with the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas railroad company to oper-
ate over its lines Of railway for a
term of years was not in violation OF
the antitrust law. The state took an
appeal. There are forty similar cases
pending in the district court here
agiinst Texas railroads and the ex
press companies operating in this
state and much hinges upon the decis
ion of the lower court.

CREEK LAWMAKERS ADJOURN,
AFTER THREE WEEKS SESSION
ANTIPATHY EXISTS IN The NATION
Racial Feeling Manifested Itself In
Many Ways-Creeks Hold That Ne.
aroes Should Have No Part in
Deliberations

OKMULGEE: The Creek council.
which has been I'm session for the
past three weeks, has closed. Much
important legislation was passed
during the closing hours.
One of the most remarkable fea-
lures of this council has been the an
tipathy which has developed on the
part of the full-blood Creeks toward
the freedmen (negroes) who are men,
berS OF the council. This racial
feeling has manifested itself in n.any
ways, and is the first time it has ever
appeared In the council. When those
negroes who were formerly slaves OF
the Creeks, came back TO the Creek
nation after the civil war they were
granted equal rights by the govern
ment, and thus obtained communal
rights with the Creeks. They have
been accepted without murmur in
the legislative halls of the Creeks
until this session Of the council. The
negroes have been given their land,
and the restrictions removed from it
by the department. The Indians
have been unable to secure the re-
moval of their disability. They claim,
too, that the negroes have received
all that is their share and should no
longer have voice in making laws
for the Creek nation, Of which they
are no longer a part. This race feel
ing has cropped out a number OF
times this fall during the sessions OF
the council.
The council has appropriated $76,-
600 for the maintenance of the
schools of the Creek nation. There
are nine boarding schools and about
twenty-five day schools. In addition
to these there are forty schools es-
tablishel by the government this
year, which may be attended by bOth
Indians and whites. This appropri-
alton eyhausts every dollar of the
Creek national school fund. 1t will
be used one year. After that time
the Creeks will be without money for
their schools, unless it can be raised
from some other source. 1t is eX-
pacted the government will take the
mattr in hand and provide schools,
although this is purely prob!ematical,
as tie lest government appropriation
Is but for one year.

II the vari us cotton growing states
Of the soTth yet no mention Is made
there n of the cotton in Oklahoma and
Indian Territory. These territories

This is evidently not the fault OF

blamed to those persons who were
named TO collect cotton statistics for
the government. There are supposed
10 b. agents a. work in all districts,
and If they do not report, of course
tn government has no way of includ-
ing the territories in this report.
The cotton ginned In the territories
would show up flvorably with sever
al OF the states. and would show more
than number of the oldest cotton
growing states, and the territories
should have this additional showing
to their credit. This work should
be placed IN the hands OF men who
will attend to 1t.
