TURN OUT THE INDIAN.


The full-blood Indian opposes all
action which looks to prolongation
Of any authority Of the department Of
the interior over the lands in this
country. Consequently he is opposed
to the agents plan to extend the re-
striction upon the alienation Of land,
five years after the dissolution OF tri-
bal government. The following is a
statement made by full-blood who
Is well posted on Indian affairs:
Government safeguards have been
the bane Of the Indian. Instead Of
being taught to rely upon himself he
has been encouraged to be dependant
The government should have pushed
him OF to his own resources long ago,
as a COW does her calf when II IS old
enough to rustic for itself. The govern
ment should have given the Indian
loo acres OF land, together with
mule and a plow, in the beginning,
and enjoined him to root, hog or die.
The policy Of the government towards
the Indian has been too paternal and
oyer-indulgent The Indian has been
given no opportunity TO show what
kind OF stun he IS made Of; no oppor-
tunity 10 make mistakes and repent
them; no chance 10 achieve and en-
JOY rewards. Turn him loose; let him
20 and work out his own salvation.
Sentiment and misguided philan-
thropy win never save him. Tie must
save himself"

DOGS AND AUTOMOBILES.
After CANNES Have Once Been Struck
They win Never Seek a
Second Dose.

"A dog that has once come in contact
with an automobile never goes back for a
second dose" said a man who lives out
on the Old York road, to the Philade7-
Dhia Record Il know. because I have
six. mean dogs-not automobiles.
See 'em limping around? Well. every
one has been hit. and now they give the
autos a wide berth. You'd think that
after one OF two had the experience
they'd put the others next but that's
where the meanness Of a dogs nature
comes in. They say that every dog has
his day. / suppose they regard expert
ence as the best teacher. It's hard to
figure the thing out; but. at any rate
every one Of my six dogs has been struck.
with more or less serious results. and
now their curiosity IS satisfied. They
are quite content TO let the machines
whiz by. and save their hsrks until the
danger is past"

The LONG Term
LEASES VALID
Freedmen Can Lease For
twenty-five Years.

Yesterday afternoon there was de.
cided an important lease case in the
Indian agency here.
1t was a precedent in the matter of
longtime leases on freedmen allot-
ments and decides that they can lease
for as long a term as they like, and
the Indian agent has no power to in
terfere.
DR.. f. l.. A. Hamilton, Of Wagner,
leased 1000 acres of land from freed
men, taking it for period Of twenty
five years, and the average rent ON it
is about 81 an acre annually. This
land he had fenced with a substantial
wire fence and made other valuable
Improvements on it.
Most Of this land is good cotton
land, In the Vefdigris river bottoms,
and will rent for cash at from o. to s5
per acre. One OF these freedmen ap-
piled to the agent to have DR.. Hamil-
ton removed from possession Of her
allotment. on the grounds that it was
for twenty-five years lmore than the
nve-year period stated in the treaty
and therefore illegal. She admitted
that she had made the contract and
had received the money
The case was heard before Mr. Ben
nett, and he decided that the Indian
agent had no authority in such cases,
and that he would not remove DIR.
Hamilton. He took this position on
the opinion Of the Attorney General,
IN which he stated Chat the lay re-
the restrictions from freedmen
took that class Of citizens out from
under the jurisdiction Of the Indian
agent.
Mr. Bennett stated that as the law
now Is, freedman can lease his land
for fifty years II he wants to. so far as
there is any law against it. II the
lease is a valid one and both parties
live up to tho agreements contained
therein, neither can break the con-
tract.
This Is matter az great importance

tions on leasing This seems TO clear

POLICE
HAVE WORK
Capt. West and His Men are
Driving Out Cattle.

Capt John West, chief of the In
dian police, and Hannibal Morrison, a
member Of the force, are working
along the Arkansas and Kansas line,
in the Cherokee nation.
The first stop will be at Marble,
near which place Capt West has a
little job to perform, which he says
shall be done right.
In the country near Marble, close TO
the Arkansas line, resides a man
named Jerry Pollard and his family,
and the presence Of this gentleman,
together with his actions, or more
properly speaking his lack Of action,
is the cause Of the visit Of the Indian
officers to that particular locality.
Pollard has bunch Of about a
hundred head of cattle, and according
to Capt Vests statement, these cat
tie have been depredating on the en-
tire community, and remonstrance
with their owner proved unavailing
-he refused 70 put them up or to
keep them.
When Pollard was told that the
Indian police would drive his cattle
out, he answered that -he guessed
not, and that he'would drive them
back as often as they drove them
out"
Capt. West is armed with instruc-
tions to remove Pollard's cattle and
to remove Pollard also, unles he
agrees to do the right thing. II viii
take him into Arkansas" said the
chief Of Indian officers.
Capt West said he had similar in
str1ctions in regard to parties living
in the Cherokee nation on the Kan
Sas line.

Bores Once Intended for Wires Are 10

A complete revelation Of the methods
Of handling the freight business OF prac.
ticnlly all Of the railroads having ter
minals In Chicago Is promised by the Chi
cago subway Company. which has been
Incorporated In New Jersey. with a eapi-
talixation Of SJ0.O00.O0O and Immediately
came into possession Of the Chicago Tun-
mel Company. Behind this definite mn
nouncement of purpose IN said to lie n
strong possibility that ultimately the
street railway systems Of the city will
be provided with subways In the heart
Of the city. aad thus further relieve the
congestion which has been complained OF
for years.
IL IN strongly hintcd that the construc-
ton Of a subway directly above the tan
nels In contemplated nj some time. and
that n controlling interest In the Illinois
Tunnel Company was achieved In order
20 avoid litigation and embarrassment
during the construction period.
Here are some Of the things promised
when the full scope of the scheme Is In
operation:
Freight trafic will be diverted from
the streets To the tunnels. and the streets
thus relieved Of the dirt Incidental TO
teaming.
Railroad freight yards will be- removes
ten or cftccn miles from the central part
OF the city. thus leaving valuable real
estate available for other business uses.
AL freight will be handled more cxpe-
ditiously. the cars TO which freight has
been transferred at the outer yards COM
ing into the city by the tunnels and cleo
tric motors.
With the passing Of freight locomo-
lives the city will be relieved of 50 per
cent Of the smoke nuisance.
The necessity for tearing up pave
ments will be practically overcome when
telegraph and telephone wires, Gas pipes,
water pipes and other public utilities arc
placed within the tunnels.
Mail will be handled more quickly
when letters and parcels can be dropped
directly into the tunnels through mail
boxes, and thence conveyed directly to
the postofice.
