Religion and the Law.
Ny intellect and the Scriptures both
tell me that Christ was not less wise
than the founders Of our American
government. They gave US our written
constitution, which states as closely as
compact human language can the right
and powers Of the different branches of
the government, the underlying princi-
Piles and spirit Of our law. But they
knew too we'll the nature and charac-
ter Of men to give to each and every
citizen the right Of putting his own in
terpretation upon these fundamental
laws. They knew that such policy
would swiftly result in dissension and
anarchy. Guided by that knowledge
they decreed the establishment OF
supreme court, which should be the
ultimate court Of appeal, whose deci-
Ions should be authoritative, final and
Anding on all citizens, high or low.
learned or ignorant. Christ was as
wise as they. He knew human nature
more profoundly. He provided even
more effectually against dissenson and
anarchy In his earthly kingdom. He,
too. established supreme court to
give authoritative. Hn4l and binding In

ChOc!aw Timber Land
Sui ITO Compel The Dawes Com
mission To Allot II 500
Acers.

Muskogee. 1. T., September
25th. The Dawes commission
has been served with notice Of
mandamus proceedings to compel
the allotment Of I2,sooo acres OF
fine timber land in the Choctaw
nation. The suit was brought III
the United States court at Atoka
and is set for hearing October ~
The case is the outgrowth of The
old timber troubles in the Choctaw
nation. The land in question was
appraised by the land appraisers at
IS cents an acre. When the tim
Der appraisers were sent out, a
mistake in the plat caused them q
overlook two townships Of fine pine
timber lands in the Chootaw nation
When the oversight was discovered
the DAVIS commission refused to al
lot this land as the timber upon Il
makes it many times mare valuable
than the IS cents appraisement.
lanes O'Dougherty, who brought
the mandamus suit is administra-
Tor for Alberta Wade, who was en-.
titled to allotment, but died before
the selection was made He now
seeks to compel the comm ssion "a
give her an allotment from these
pine timber lands at the appraised
value. As each allotee in tbs
Choctaw nation is entitled tC
ground equal in value to SI,o4o
Mr.. O'Dougherty would receive
several thousand acres Of this val
liable timber land as his share. Al
ter selling the timber aud realizing
handsome sum, the allote'
would still have the land. The
Dawes commission is determine'
not 10 allot this land at the low an
praisment Enless compelled e d
50 By the courts. The department
of the interior has not delivered al
opinion III this matter The com
mission, however, thinks its posi-
ton justified by the precedent Sc
by theinterior department in with
holding lands from allotment whlcl
have upon them valuable ninera
springs.

Endorses Sells & Downs Circus


In the great scrap book Of press
notices kept by the great Sells &
Downs Shows may be found many
unique and original press notices
which make Interesting reading
Perhaps one Of the most original
conrents. because of its unusual
and emphatic way Of expressing ITS
approval Of the hig show IS the fol-
lowing taken from the Daily Journ-
Ial Of Hannibal. aiissouri
Some years ago a ball-hcaded
member Of ihe Missouri legislature
from the southeastern section of
the state introduced bill to com
psi eircu IS to show everything adj

This honest statesman evidently
did not have Sells & Downs circus

meni given by that great combina-
lion in this city Yesterday

promised was fulfilled, and more.
