The Word "CannibaIism

The word "cannibalism' is really the
name of a people. 1t Is identical with
Carib, many Of the Caribs, who for
merly fourlshed in the West Indies.
having been consumers of human flesh.
The letters IL" IN" and ''r" are inter
changcable in certain aboriginal Ameri-
can languages, so that Columbus found
one West Indian island saying "Cani-
ba" where another said "Carib," while
Shakespeares Caliban is another va
riety of the same. Columbus own con-
lecture was that the name was con
nected with the great khan, and later
philologsts of the old slapdash type as
socated with "canis," a dog. APP
pareutly, however, the meaning of
"carib" was brave and daring.

ON TEE INDIANS
WOULD SELL THE COai LANDS
For FArnins Purposes Effort to Amend
the Curtis Bill

Washington, D. c., Feb. S.
Therei is no denying the fact that
the Choctaw and Chickasaw Ma
tions will shortly be subjected to a
searching investigation by govern
ment sleuths.
Secretary Hitchcock has kept in
close touch with situations in these
nations for years past, and has now
IN his possession information which
he intends to put to good use dur
idg the Investigations.
Recent actions of Governors
Johnson and McCurtain have
hastened the secretary's decision to
turn on the searchlight.
Secretary Hitchcock has come out
in favor of selling A, 900 acres of
coal lands in Indian Territory as
farming lands, and in tracts Of not
more than 100 acres.
The leased portion Of these lands
which amounts to Ioo, Gao acres,
and which is now being developed
as coal properties, according to the
secretary's plans, are to be apprais-
ed and sold to the present lease
holders.
The Curtis bill, which recently
passed the house and is now pend
ing in the senate, expressly pro-
vides that the above mentioned
coal lands are not to be sold until
the expiration of existing leases,
which run anywhere from nine.
teen 70 twenty-seven years.
Efforts to amend the bill in the
senate committee, in conformity
with the secreta-y's views. will be
made Wednesday or Thursday.
People Of eighteen cities in the
coal belt. aud Indians. are support
