Removes Some of the Restrictions
Placed Upon Ailottees
NOW READY FOR CONFERENCE
Extends Laws of Oklahoma Over
Indian Territory Relative to
Cities of the First Class

Washington, ID. C.-The Curtis
bill, with the coal amendment cut
out, passed the senate Friday after
noon.
The bill providing for the settle
ment of the five civilized tribes and
continuing the tribal government
also passed the senate and was sign
ed by the president Saturday after
noon.
The Curtis bill removes some Of
| the restrictions placed upon allot-
Indian Territory relating to city of
the first class, gives authority to
condemn land for power plants, pro-
hibits sale Of coal and asphalt lands
and transfer suits from Indian tc
United States courts.
The bill has passed both house
and senate, but as the senate amend
ed 1t in many respects, it will now go
into conference. 1t is general bill
for the adjustment of the affairs Of
the Five Civilized Tribes upon their
abandonment of their tribal organi-
cations.
| Following are the more important
features of the bill:
1t requires the enrolment Of men,
bers Of the Five Civilized Tribes by
March 4, 1907; fixes the rights Of
Indian freedmen; continues in office
the present principal chief for execu-
ton of tribal deeds; transfers suits
from Indian to United States court;
authorizes the secretary Of the inter-
ior to assume charge OF and sell the
tribal buildings for the benefit of the
tribes; gives him control of schools
until a regular state or territorial
school system is adopted; prohibits
the sale of coal and asphalt lands
until after the expiration Of the pres
ent leases Of those lands or until
authorized by law; authorizes the
secretary to sell the unallotted lands
| for the benefit Of the tribes; removes
some Of the restrictions placed upon
allottees In the matter Of the aliena-
ton of lands; authorizes sectional
line roads; gives authority to cleo
trio roads and lights and power COM
panies to locate canals, reservoirs
and dams, extends some Of the Ok
lahoma laws to Indian Territory and
extends the present tribal relations
and government until March 4, 1907.
The conviction is daily growing
stronger that the senate will adopt
the Foraker amendment to the state
hood bill, which refers the decision
whether Arizona and New Mexico
shall be admitted Jointly as one state
to the voters of those territories.
Interest accordingly is centering
on the question, what reception the
amended bill will meet In the house
at the hands of the speaker and the
| organization back OF him. 1t was
said that the speaker had changed
his mind to entertain a motion TO
concur in the senate amendment
when the bill passes the upper cham
ber in its amended form and Dele
gate Mcclure and others are busy
| today trying 10 effect a compromise
in the shape Of slight modification
OF the Foraker amendment which
will make 1t acceptable TO the house
managers.

Investigation Necessary,

For the next two years, at least,
actual legislation on Democratic lines
is out Of the question, because the Re-
publican senate will veto it. Yet as
it is important to elect a Democratic
house of representatives in order to
prevent further Republican legislation
by congress and thus to check legisla-
tive abuses, it is all the more impor-
tant, as it will lead TO the election Of
a Democratic president and so check
executive usurpation, which may be
made to cover the whole field Of legis-
1ation as we'll as that of diplomacy, as
the history Of the Roosevelt admins
tration plainly foreshadows. A Demo
cratic house Of representatives is also
necessary to investigate all the depart
ments of the government, for the ex-
posure of scandals already accom-
plished has shown that there is much
yet behind the curtain that has been
suppressed as a party necessity.

1t is comforting to know that 1.-The

text book is in the hands of President
Roosevelt for revision and approval
We shall thus soon know where the
G. o. P. and the president stand on
disputed questions. We know that
Speaker Cannon has induced the presi-
dent to stand pat OH the tariff, but it
will be more certain how strong the
stand pat attitude Of the president is
to see it in print, revised and approved.
Chairman Sherman of the Republic
an congressional committee, after an
interview with the president, informs
a waiting public that "the book will be

lures Of the record Of the Republican
party and reasons why that party
should be kept in power.
What picturesque language may we
not expect when the editor has added
the word painting! The chapter on
Panama and Santo Domingo and the
Philippines will be worth all the dol

A Champion Needed.

Why does not Neighbor Roosevelt
break into the riparian rights game at
Oyster Bay and settle this old stand
ing feud among the neighbors? 1t
needs some stout champion to stand
up for the people, for their access to
the water they WI is being cut on by
corporations or individuals In every d.
rection. 1t is getting 80 In many
places that the people have to pay to
Sec their own sea and reach their own
lakes and rivers.

A B]loodthirsty Course.

At a conference of Governor General
Ide and the military generals in the
Philippines it has been decided to ex-
terminate the Pulajane tribe. Before
the slaughter begins would 1t not be
well to try to discover why it is neces-
sary to take this bloodthirsty course?
Perhaps the Pulajanes have a good
grievance against the Philippine gov
eminent, and better treatment might
make them friends instead of enemies.
From the meager news allowed to
reach this country the government Of
the Philippines seems to be going from
bad to worse.

The Navy Scandal.

The scandal In the navy department
about unfit meats being supplied at
New York and Norfolk was, according
to the officials, mot unexpected as far
as New York was concerned on ac-
count of the low price bid. And yet
with this fact staring them In the face
the officials never discovered anything
wrong until the men actually refused
to eat the stuff furnished.
