SALE OF CREEK NATION LANDS.

The surplus lands of mixed bloods
and intermarried whites in the Creek
Nation will be subject to sale after July
1. On that day all restrictions against
the sale of surplus lands of all the In
dams, except the full bloods, will be
removed. The full bloods cannot sell
their lands for 25 years more, if that
restriction stands the test of the courts.
1t is now being sharply questioned in
a case pending in court. 1t is estimated
that at least 40 per cent of the Creek
lands will be subject to sale on July /.
Considerable surplus lands of the
Choctaws and Chickasaws soon will be
subject to sale. The treaty provides
that they can sell one-fourth in one
year after receiving patents, one-fourtn
in three years and the remainder IN
five years Many Of them have had
their patents now for more than year,
and can sell one-fourth their surplus
lands. The. Cherokees will soon be in
shape to dispose of their surplus lands.

AcA1Nssrs POLISHING RICE.

An important action has been taken
by the Department OF Agriculture in
informing the New Orleans Board of
Trade that polishing rice is violation
of the pure food law and that it must
either be abandoned in the future or
the polished rice must be labeled so as
to show what It is coated with. AS a
matter OF fact unpublished rice-that
is, the rice upon which the inner hull
has been left, IS much more healthful
end nutritious than that which has had
the hull removed and has been covered
with a. coating OF paraffin. glucose,
starch and tale to bring 1t to the
whiteness which fashion demands
The polishing process has been de-
Tended on the ground that it preserves
rice from attacks by the weevils. The
Department of Agriculture denies this
strenuously and forbids the practice In
the future as putting into the rice I'M
healthful materials. The decision VII
be a great relief to the farmers and
add to their profits that of the consid-
cradle sum which has heretofore been
expended in polishing and coating the
grain.

1NvALIDATING COURTs-MARTIAL.

A decided sensation has been created
in military circles by a decision handed
down by the Supreme Court of the
United States last week invalidating
the decision of a court-martial. The
particular instance was Lieut.. Lewis
E. Brown, a negro, who was tried and
dismissed from the service in Cuba.
The court decided that the court mar
tial was invalid because an officer of
the Regular Army, who held a commits
sion in the volunteer force. was a
member. and under the decision Brown
will be entitled to draw his pay until
the date of the muster-out of his regi-
ment. Heretofore the War Department
has held that a Regular Army officer
who also held a volunteer commission
was entitled to sit on a court-martial
by virtue of the latter. He was re-
garded as a volunteer officer for the
tine being and had rank and pay as
such. The court orders otherwise, and
this, it is believed, will affect a host
cf courts-martial and their sentences
in the war of the rebellion. the Span
ish-American war and the insurrection
in the Philippines. 1t may also compel
the repayment of the difference be-
tween the pay of the volunteer grade
and that of the Regular grade of the
officers so commissioned.

ton project in Yellowstone county,
Mont, will be opened to settlers Oil
July %. These embrace 633 farms,
approxmating 40 acres each, all of
which can be irrigated from works
constructed by the Government. They
will be opened under drawing system
which differs materially from the sys'-
tenn of that kind heretofore adopted
and which will be much simpler and
less expensive than the old plan. ]. ".
Witten, Chief Law Clerk of the General
Land Office, has been designated to .u-
pervise the opening.
Under the new plan adopted for this
opening the registration booths have
been dispensed with ard the prospec-
tive applicants will be required to pre-

entry, and if they fail to apply on that
day they will forfeit their right to en-
ter lands under these regulations.
Each entryman will be limited to a
single farm unit. and lands must be
paid for at the rate of 81 per acre or

To begin With, Judge Pancoast is hold
ing the position of Judge by the ap-
pointment" of the President.
IF the Constitution was ratified
and an election was held, Judge Pan
coast and the, balance of the Pie Eat
ers WOULD lose their jobs. So he to-
Sether with others have entered into
conspiracy to defraud the people of
Oklahoma out of their just rights. He
is prostitYting his official position for
gain. While - we favor law and or
der, yet when we have to deal with
such as he, it might be of benefit to
the future welfare of society just %
take him out to a telegraph pole,
throw rope over the arm and let him
dance in the air at the other end of it.
These sentiments may seem anarchis-
tic; but there is Il point where for
bearance ceases to be virtue. and
surely the long-suffering people of
Oklahoma have reached that point"
The Grand Army of the Republic
believes in freedom of speech ana the
liberty of the press, but we do not be-
lieve that the liberty of the press Ii
censes or warrants any publications TO
urge the hanging of any Judge o. the
United States Court because of jul
dicial opinion pronounced under his
most solemn oath. We may differ
with judicial opinion. but because
we may differ with it is no just ground
for urging the organization of a mob
to drag the Judge from the court room
over which flies the flag of our country
and strangle him 10 death over the
nearest telegraph pole
Such sentiments breathe the spirit
Of defiance to all law. appeal to the
bGsest passions of the mob, cast an
uncalled-for slur upon the best man
hood of the State of Oklahoma, in Civ
ing the impression to the States of
the Union that we are incapable Of
self-Sovernment. and defeat the high
est aims of our good people. The
Grand Army of the Republic believes
in the reign of law as against the
rope and torch of the anarchist 1t
deprccates at this time and at AL
times such an appeal to passion and
calls upon all fair-minded people to
check such an un-American practice.
Mob law decides nothing. 1t is n relic
Of the darkest barbarism. It destroys
the just and the unjust alike. and its
practices go to the undermining Of
American liberty and American man
hood
The sentiments expressed in the
article are anarchiStic, and we resent
lahoma favor any such course. and Gail
upon every good citizen to uphold
our declaration against such IN
American utterances.
Respectfully submitted.

DEATH OF MRS. MCKINLEY.

How seldom overwhelming sorrows
actually kill is shown by the prolonga'
ton of Ida McKinley's Pickering flame
of life for six years of patient suffer
ing, after the terrible tragedy at Buff
falo in September, 1901. For more thar
100 years her gentle life had seemed tc
be hanging by a sadly frayed thread
Amid all the distractions of a career OF
the highest activity and usefulness hei
DISTINGUISHED husband had watched over
her with an assiduous tenderness thai
was maternal. He was never absent
| from her side for an hour that could be
snatched from his absorbing public dU-
| ties. When he was a member of Con-
gress he fastened back to her at tho
moment Congress adjourned. and spent
his evenings studying engrossing pub
lie questions in their rooms, where she
could be constantly in his sight, and
her lightest wish regarded. 1t was the
same when he was Governor of Ohio
His Office opened directly into her
rooms, and her voice could reach him
at any moment.
In the White House the living rooms
and the offices We're under the same
roof, and amid all the mountainous re-
sponsibilities of the Spanish War Pres
ident Mckinley was rarely beyond his
wife's call.
This was the farthest possible remove
from NERVOUSNESS as the word is
understood. 1t was the sublimity OF
husbandly duty to a wife who had fall
en- under the fell power of chronic and
hopeless invalidism. The lode-star OF
VIM. McKinIey's life was duty. IN
duty, public, private, manly, or of af-
lection, he saw not obligation or bond
age, but the highest call of the soul.
| Everywhere, and all the time, as a SOL
der. a citizen, a lawyer, member of
| the church, public servant, a husband
he saw duty as the simple plain rule of
| life, as natural and unconscious as
breathing.
He had loved Ida Saxon as a sweet
gentle girl, taken her to wife, and she
had given him all the inestimable
things that a loving wife gives hus-
band, including children. This could
be but feebly repaid by lifelong devotion
| to her. When he stood before the altar
and promised to cleave to her in sick
ness and in health he meant it in its
| fulnesss precisely as he meant all he
said in his oaths of enlistment and Of
| flee. The history of the land has no
finer idealiZation of mauy-Sided duty
| than in the life of William Mckinley.
| Personally. Mrs. Mckinley was. fine
| type of the pure-hearted, sweet, gentle
American woman. Her affection pre-
vented her figuring more conspicuous
| ly in the career of her great husband
but she has served a high purpose in
| illustrating the noblest characteristics
OF truly American man.

The wholesale robbery of the Italian
ship by the sightseers is by far the most
discreditable and lamentable thing that
has occurred lately. We can view with
something of an Indifference the I'M
pleasant revelations as to society in
New York, because those are charac-
teristic of the so-called higher socie-
ty'' all over the world, and reflect no
discredit upon us as a Nation, but such
wholesale stealing as the visitors prac-
tised on the Duke of Abruzzi's ship re-
fleets directly upon us as people. 1t
is made the more Notifying from the
statement of our own Rear-Admiral
that during his visit to German ports
he did not lose thing. This is a dis
tinct stain on our National character,
and calls for some sort of action that
will remove it. Detectives are said to
be at work tracing the articles, and it
is to be hoped that those guilty will be
brought to such public punishment as
will deter such depredators in future.

1t appears that for years enc of the
best rackets that could be worked
thru the South was to claim to be a
survivor of the Alabama's crew. This
would bring "sit down layouts," lodg-
ing money. clothes, drinks. and about
all the comforts of life to the hobo.
Like most other good things. too many
got onto it, and soon worked 1t to
death, and now Alabama stock is a
discount among the gentry who think

not turn out and vote at the election
for delegates to the Constitutional Con-

publicans were strong, and succeeded
in electing Democrats There is no such

There are. two things that will at
once strike whoever scans the above
report.
The first is that in spite of the great
activity of the Pension Bureau in pass
ing upon claims, and the unprecedent-
eddy large volume of allowances. the
aggregate of the pension roll is steadily
diminishing.
In the month of April the Bureau al
lowed more cases than ever before in
its history, but in spite of this the total
of the roll diminished 2,759. That is
more than a good strong brigade
probably nearer the average strength
of a division at the close of the war
marched off the rolls into the Eternal
Encampmen..
The next thing is the fewness of the
original claims.
Some of the papers have been put
ting up great "scareheads" about Rush
of Veterans for Pensions" "A Total of
325,415 Applications Up to Date"
commissioner Warmers Force Swept
Off It's Feet" NO Slackening in
Sight" etc.
Yet the total number of original al
Iowances for all of the last busy month
was only $50.
