IMPORTANT DECISION.
He Is a.Free American Citizen
! With All the Usual Rights
Privileges and Re-
spOnsibiIities.

The supreme court of the United
States has just handed down an opin-
ion which is Of great Importance to
all states and territories containing
an Indian population.
Albert Heff was convicted In the
United States district court OF Kan
sas for selling beer to Kickapoo In
dians. The prosecution was based on
the grounds that the Indian was a
ward Of the government and that on
account Of certain federal statutes 1t
was an offense to sell Intoxicating
LIQUOR to him. Heff showed that the
Indians land had been allotted, and
contended that this fact made the In
dian a free American citizen. The
court sustained the contention, set
aside the verdict ami released Heff on
habeas corpus.
This decision Of the supreme court
OF the United States will be far reach
ing. There seems TO be no obscurity
nor uncertainty In its terms and ulti-
mate effect The supreme court has
uneQuiyocally declared that every In
dian To whom land has been allotted
Is free American citizen with all
the usual rights, privileges and re-
sponsibilities. He is no longer sub
ject TO the police regulations Of con-
gress nor to department interference
and federal control, but his rights
must be secured and wrongs corrected
and punished according to the gener'
al civil apd criminal laws Of the land
and il rhakes'po difference whatever
that the allotment is granted with
restrictionslagainst alienation or IN
cumbranee, or that the Indian re-
tains an interest In tribal funds anc
property.
This important decision undoubted
ly win soon awaken the liyeliest In
terest n the Indian Territory. Most
OF the Indians and the halfbreed:
who belong TO the Indian tribes have
been allotted their land. The allot
ment was made, IL is true, under laws
which prescribe certain restrictions
against alienation and incumbrance
In accordance Herewith the interior
department has been exercising
guardianship over the territorial In
dians and their property. But nov
the supreme court has decided that
guardianship is limited and circum
scrlbed By the general laws which
guarantee 70 every American citizer
freedom and independence OF action
