bal taxes and while the question Of their validity i
yet pending in the courts and in his petty and arbi
trary contentious with the Governors of the various
tribes he has worked untold hardships upon the al
Ilottees.
That in instances where his judgment has beer
exercised in making purchases and in recommending
the expenditures Of public funds in Indian Territory
he has oven unmndful Of the public interest or sad
ly lacking in business judgment.
We condemn the Secretary's administration Of af-
fairs in the FIVE tribes as vacillating and extravagant
in the extreme.
We point to the fact that as matter of courtesy
for years named the Secretary of the Interior the
present incumbent and several Of his predecessors
having been appointed from that city. That while
Kansas City and other various centers of commerce
which draw largely upon the Indian Territory for
their business have shown themselves to be in sympa-
thy with our people and business interests, ST.
Louis has stood dumb meanwhile pointing to the
Secretary of the Interior its creation. The mer-
chanlS OF our country nOd II IN their power TO reta
ate unless the business interests Of St. Louis show BY
their works interest in welfare commensurate
with the patronage they receive from our people We
feel that the stumbling blocks nterposed by the Sec
retary could be removed by the business men of ST.
Louis if they so desired.
We hereby appeal to the lustrious American,
Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States
whom we people Of the South have learned to love for
his honesty investigate these charges, and if they
be found represented, TO give us asquare deal"
We regard the collection of the tribal taxes in the
Five Civilized Tribes pending the appeal to the
United States Supreme Court as arbitrary and OPP
pressve and request that the collection of such taxes
De suspended until our rhighest court has spoken.
We appeal through representatives to the
meeting Of the National Editorial Association to take
lp our cause and speak through their resolutions in
our behalf and to also speak word for the relief of

represented by said association, and delegates to

OBSERVATIONS.

WE HAVE observed:
That men, like cattle, generally follow the beaten
path.
That a liar generally spits greatdeal while talk
ing,
That small ideas issue quite often from large
mouths
That great many people talk more than they
think
That tellngth truth on all occasions would be
disastrous.
That when the lion and the lamb lie down to-
gether the lamb is generally inside the lion.
That a name is sometimes more closely adhered
to than principle.
That ideas are as contagious as measles or whoop-
ing cough
That people often seem enjoy what they do not
understand
That the horse that drags the plow does not al
ways get his share of oats.
That what is frequently called contentment is
nothing but satisfied laziness-By Observer.

THE VOICE oE THE PRESS.

THE INDIAN Territory Press Association .adopte,
the following resolutions at the meeting in Sulphur
last week:
Believing in the inalienable right Of every to
voice in the Government under which he lives, we
favor joint statehood Of Indian Territory and Okaho-
ma as one state at the earliest practical moment on
terms Of absolute equality, and further protest
against any omnibus measure, connecting our admis-
sion to statehood with the admission Of any other
Territories however meritorous their claims may be-
Whereas, We consider the removal Of the present
unjust and unreasonable restrictions upon the aiiena-
Of lands in IndianTerritory as of more importance
than any other matter under present conditions and
Whereas. It is unquestioned fact that the
homestead Of the Indian, with the remainder Of his
lands owned and occupied BY actual bona ide settlers
will be Of value to him than his entire holding
under the present sitting conditions now therefore be
Resolved, That we recommend to the Congress
that legislation pending for the removal of all
restrictions from the alienation Of lands except home
steads in Indian Territory retaining such provisions
for the conservation Of the proceeds Of said lands in
the cases incompetent persons it, in its judgment
may fit to the end that al surplus lands may be
marketable without delay and consequently taxable,
and that the lands which lie unoccupied and un-
productive may be. without further unnecessary de-
lay, improved and occupied by actual bona hde set
tiers.
Resolved, That we strongly urge upon the Con-
gress the vital necessity for prompt legislation prior
to statehood, looking to the condemnation Of roads
throughout the Nations of the Territory which have
not already been provided for in that regard
Whereas, The administration of Secretary Ethan
Allen Hitchcock in Indian Territory is a scourge to
the best interests of white red and black men alike

assertion upon every hand, that the arbitrary and
ridiculous rules Of the Secretary Of the Interior are
oppressive and tyrannca in effect upon the innocent
aud the deserving well upon the so-called graf
ters the small andvery element against
whom his rulings directed.

jewelry, was the highwayman's first
victim. The robber then walked into
the village of Mansfield, where he en-.
tered a store, ordered the proprietor to
hold up his hands, and at the point of
a revolver secured a small sum of
money.
The man left Mansfield and the au-
thorities here were notified to look
out for him. He was mex reported at
Athol, and there a posse began to
close in on him.
Snyder was defiant to the last, and
during the exchange of shots he
winged the town marshal of Athol,
sending a bullet through his right arm.
Snyder was shot in the right hand,
but he shifted his revolver to his left
hand and cOntinued tho Strupp)e until
( bullet plowed through his cheek.
Then he surrendered and was brought
to the Redfield Jail.
