SHOULD BE UPHELD
SEC eETARY HITCHCOCK IS IN
THE RIGHT.
His Refusal 10 Revoke Order With
d. awning Indian Lands From Allot'
ment Will Be Endorsed by
Democratic Party.

II is evident that those western sen.
ators whose constituents have been
mixed up in the land frauds and those
senators whose togas are not entirely
clear of participation are intent on at.
lacking Secretary Hitchcock. who has
stood like lion in the way OF the
land grafters and Indian plunderers.
The immediate cause of conflict is the
withdrawal of 100000 acres OF In
dian lands from allotment which con-
sress had ordered made. The with
drawal order of Secretary Hitchcock
Is claimed by the special committee
of the senate, which has been invesu-
eating the citizenship and property
rights of the five civilized tribes OF In
dians. TO be usurpation OF authority.
But Secretary Hitchcock was evident
~ unmoved by the threats OF the SEN
ate committee. when ne appeared be-
fore them and was requested to ex-
plain his reasons for withdrawing the
land. which he declined TO do. except
to furnish the opinion of Assistant At
torney General Campbell. which cites
a number of cases justifying the &C
ton OF the secretary.
The outrageous frauds discovered by
Secretary Hitchcock in the disposal OF
the Indian lands would seem 10 be
ample reason for his withdrawing the
lands for the time being. until the de-
partment could ferret out the frauds.
The senate committee thinks other
wise and even intimated impeach-
ment as a threat 10 make the secre-
tsry rescind his order Withdrawing the
lands. These threats, however. had no
effect upon Secretary Hitchcock, who
claims he has general control over the
affairs OF the Indians and the same
right to direct the policy to be pur-
sued with reference 10 their lands
that he exercises in directing the pol
icy 20 be pursued with reference TO
the public domain.
To those Of us who have no interest
In the matter except 10 see exact
Justice done. II would seem that the
attitude Of Secretary Hitchcock is TO
be commended. for even If he has ex-
ceeded his authority and temporarily
set aside an act of congress, he has
done so to prevent fraud. Fraud viii
ntes all contracts, and even an act OF
congress should be no exception to
that most ancient Of legal rules. IL
may be said that even senator's and
congressman have been smirched with
these land frauds, and such strenuous
opposition by this special senate COM
mittee to secretary Hitchcock for his
persistent prevention and punishment
OF frauds has a suspicious look. Hon
est senators should rather uphold the
hands OF Secretary Hitchcock, even II
he has stretched his power. TO prevent
etill greater land frauds than have al
ready been discovered.
AS Secretary Hitchcock is about the
only Republican high official that has
shown unfiinching honesty he will UNI
doubtedly be upheld by Democrats.
But IL must also be remembered that
the Republican administration OF the
Indian Territory has been constant
scandal and most OF the officials APP
pointed there by the administration
have been a disgrace and constant
source of corruption.
