dians of the five civilized tribes In the In
dian territory have titled the soil. lived in
modern homes and acted and dressed like
white men for over century. They have
shown little, II any, more weakness for
the cup that cheers than their pale-face
brethren.
But the theory that the Indian should
be protected not only from the sale but
from the very presence of intoxicants Is
as popular in Indian territory as In Con-
gress. Congress need entertain no fear on
that score. The senators were actuated by
q high purpose in making the restriction
and our people will ratify it. The suggestion
that the Missouri brewers are being pun
ished by twenty-one years prohibition be-
cause of their purported contribution of
21.OO0 to the republican campaign fund is
unworthy. It is true that the plan of ex-
tending prohibition over Oklahoma as well
as Indian territory originated with the
Junior senator from Missouri, but he sure
ly had no such poetic retaliation in mind"
