POLITICAL PREvARIcAToRs.

POLITICAL PREvARICATORS.. I.
The Tacoma Ledger published spe'
cial dispatch from Portland that fol
falsehood and .unreliability has never
been equalled in the annals of journ'
alism. 1t was no doubt written by g
democrat who is ignorant Of politics II
Oregon. The dispatch, in part, is a:
follows: -
Portland. Ore, Jan. Following
close on the heels of the indictment by
the federal grand jury of Senator Johr
H. Mitchell the political machine which
for II years has almost continuously
controlled the destinies and designs Of
politics in Oregon has begun to dis
integrate. Before Francis Joseph
Heney came to Oregon to investigate
and prosecute for land frauds barely
eight months ago, everything was for
Mitchell. Before the grand jury re-
ported its last indictments, no one
dared to say he was not for Mitchell,
for the power of the man endured. But
today Mitchell has passed, the mechan-
ism that he invented, perfected and
employed to his own political aggran-
dizement is useless from lack of power,
and no man will say he is for Mitch
ELL
The Mitchell machine is smashed
and they stand alone, each pitted
against all others. After accomplish
ing, singlehanded and silently. some
thing that stump speakers, campaign
funds and political generalship has
often failed to do, Francis Joseph
Heney has started for San Francisco.
where he must attend to other legal
business, carrying with him, it is al
legged, documentary evidence that John
H. Hall, who was yesterday removed
by the president from the position Of
district attorney for Oregon, is involved
This is the reason for the disintre-
CATION of the Mitchell machine. The
senator cannot protect himself, can
not assist his friends. AS result he
is deserted. The weakening of the
Mitchell power is shown in another
way The city administration is being
investigated by the county grand jury
and rottenness and corruption are be-
ing unearthed. 1t is rumored that the
chief of police and mayor-both Mitch
ell favorites-are to b indicted.
Even Binger Hermann has no good
word to say for the senator He stout
ly protests his own innocence Of the
charge but does not say Mitchell is in
nocent.
New political combinations are al
ready being formed. Senator Fulton
has recommended George C. Brownell
for district attorney and Harvey w.
Scott has renewed hope of sitting In
the United States senate
There is not word Of truth in the
statement, except the date line of the
dispatch. Hon. John H. Mitchell has
not controlled the politics of Oregon
for the past "a years, neither are all
the federal appointments in Oregon
dictated by him. For six or eight years
Hon. Jos. Simon controlled the politics
of the state, and both he and Hon. G.
w. Mcbride served in the United States
senate formerly held by Mitchell.
Mayor williams was not elected by the
Mitchell faction, but by the oregonian
contingent Chief of Police Hunt is
not a Mitchell man. United States
District Attorney Hall was not recon-
mended for reappointment by Mitchell
but by Senator Fulton. Hon. Binger
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1905-01-05

Hermann has always had good word
to say fer Senator Mitchell, and has
never. made a statement that could
be construed otherwise, Senator Mitch
| ell has not been deserted by his friends,
but is being warmlydefended by every
one of them, Hon. Geo. c. Brownell
has not been recommended by Sena-
tor Fulton for the United States dis
trict attorneyship and no one will be
recommended for the position until
the charges against John H. Hall have
been Investigated. Hon. John II. Mitch
ell has not been convicted of any COM
plicity in the land frauds and 1t Is ex-
tremely doubtful II he will be.
The whole story is base fabrica-
tion. originating in the depraved mind
of either senile democrat. or some
worthless politician who has been de-
posed from office for crookedness. No
other man would or could be guilty of
resorting to such contemplate meth
DDS to besmirch the character OF so
honorable a gentleman as Hon. John
H. Mitchell. We are not discussing
the merits of the case. neither do we
believe any man is guilty until proven
innocent, 1t is extremely doubtful If
the evidence of a self-convicted thief
will be taken against the evidence of
an honorable gentleman. Juries do not
render verdicts upon any such hypo-
thesis. The attack is unwarranted, un-
just and absolutely false.

schools. These schools are in SESSION
eight months in the year The no
ticeable fact is shown that OF 246
teachers in these schools only q are
white and I87 are Cherokees, Of whom
36 are fullbloods. Besides this there
are attending Cherokee seminaries and
high schools $50 pupils, and Of the fac
ulties 10 OF tile Is members are Cher
okees. This showing is creditable when
placed by tile side Of educational
work in many of the states"
lit is remarkable when viewed IN
connection with the educational status
OF any tribe or of all tribes Of Indians
in the United States, for all Of them
combined have not half SO many reg
ular qualified Indian teachers in the
school room either as to fulibloods,
mixed bloods or both. The Cherokees
as a whole from a business standpoint
and from general culture and educa-
tional advancement would seem to be
qualified to take care Of their own in-
terests.'

Here.

The meeting of the Commercial
Club was called to order az the usual
hour last night by the president, Sey-
mour Riddle, and the regular routine
business was soon disposed OF.
G. Il. Lahman read a letter from y.
A. Cary, 81 Drummond, Oklahoma,
relative to the location Of Touring
mill at this place, and stating that
Cary would come TO Vinita as soon as
the weather viii permit. The matter
was referred to the mill committee.
On motion OF +. S. f. Amos it was
decided that the club advise Pliny l..
Soper thathe will be expected TO assist
the committee at Washington in Sc
curing court for Yinita, and use
every effort to get the restrictions re-
moved from lands in the Cherokee
Nation.
Quite lengthy discussion followed
a suggestion to send another delegate
to Washington to take the place OF
wv. II. Darrough, who is on his way
home. c. b. Rogers was chosen as
such delegate but he will not start to
Washington until further instructed
By citizens mass meeting held at the
court house this afternoon
A committee was appointed 10 in
gestlgate the condition Of the Strout
pond. which is said to overflow the
road running southwest from the city.
The president and secretary Of the
club were instructed to prepare and
forward resolutions TO theKansas City
star. Journal and World, and the St.
Louis. Republic, Globe-Democrat and
POST Dispatch and to Chicago and
Washington papers stating the condi-
tIons that would be inflicted upon the
large majority OF Cherokee citizens by

Furthermore their intelligence is
such that they strenuously insist on
the education Of their children. While
in political campaigns, in sessions Of
the national council and elsewhere
sharp differences occur on other queS-
tions the Cherokees are vigorous in
maintaining their Individual views;
but in educational matters all are
agreed that the most and best shall
be done for the children. If properly
expended and accounted for there is
no stinting Of funds for school facil-
titles. For many years all Of the
chiefs, members Of council and mem
hers Of the national school board have
given their influence and cooperation
In bettering and encouraging educa-
tional effort. Mr.. Coppock further
states; SIN confirmation of the gem
eral intelligence Of the Cherokee peo-
pie, their preparation for statehood
and their ability to conduct their own
affairs, that a larger percent of their
children are in good schools and for
longer period each year than is the
case Of the people Of Arkansas and
many other states.
