LIQUOR MEMS FIGHT.

idea Of the men Of the Indian Terrific
ry who are tenaciously hanging on
10 the business Of selling the alleged
soft drinks that are in fact a low
grade Of beer.
Il has developed that the brewing
companies are making preparations
for a stubborn fight against the clause

termine II the state, as forced by tho
enabling act, has the right to inflict
upon the people Of one section Of the
state a business restriction that Is not
imposed upon citizens Of another sec.

The prohibition clause will be a
matter which the state and county
officials will have to cope with II will
not be a question for the federal
courts as II no wis The fact that the
federal law has so long imposed a
distasteful law upon the people Is
likely to make sentiment for leniercy
on the prohibition question in the IA.
ture Brewers and liquor men believe
that It will and they are backing up
their faith with their money. Some OF
the finest business locations Of the
big towns Of the territory are now be.
ling held and rent paid for the sole
purpose of securing them for saloon
purposes as soon a. statehood comes.
The men who are now acting as
general agents for brewing houses in
their effort to keep up the sale OF the
bogus beers will, when real beer can
be sold. become the general agents
for beer and will have an immensely
profitable business That is the reason
they are making a tenacious fight TO

J. GEO. WRIGHT UNDER FIRE.
investigation Being Made which May
Lead to his Dismissal.

Washington, March 1O.-An inves-
tisation, which may lead to the dis
missal Of J. George Wright United
States Indian inspector Of Muskogee,
l. T, is to be conducted By the de.
partmeut Of Justice.
While a definite statement as to
the specific charges against Wright
has not been made. it Is rumored
about the Interior Department that
Wright is to be dismissed because Of
his neglect to visit the Indian schools.
II having come to the knowledge
I the department that Mr.. Wright
In his twelve years incumbency in
Office has never in person, paid
visit to single Indian school,
whereas the Indian schools should
have been one of the most important
factors in his official administration.
When questioned regarding his
failure to visit the Indian schools,
as his duties require, Indian Inspect.
or Wright has stated that he has
been too busy with his work al Mus.
kogee and that the fault lies with
the Indian agencies.
Wright also alleges that the defal-
cation of Cashier Lane who mis-ap-
propriated $4,000 of the Indian funds,
should be laid at the door of the In.
dian agencies, while the fact is evl.
dent that Wright himself. being sup
ervisor of all Indian work, is mater.
tally responsible. This fact together
with the inefficiency of the Indian
schools, has led the department OF
justice to conduct the investigation,
which may possibly lead to Wright's
dismissal

Since this constitution Is made by
the men chosea from among the poo
pie, as being the ones In whom they
had most confidence. both In their
integrity and ability. this may In
truth bee called the constitution OF the
people. even before they place the
final stamp Of approval upon II.
This formal act they will perform,
when given the opportunity at the
polls. because It meets the instruc-
tions Of the people and the unwarped
dictates of good common sense.
The howls that have gone up have
largely cmanated from sources hay-
ing designs contrary TO the greatest
good to the greatest number. and may
be safely regarded as such.

pie do not represent the people, then
what self constituted apostle may as

The enabling act and the United
states constitution have been adopted
and carefully allowed In every par
ucular. both as to their exact words
and the rulings Of the supreme court
of the United States as to intcrpreta-
ton OF their meaning.
Some Of the ablest lawyers in the
nate are sitting in the convention and
they have freely given their advice,
counsel and hest professional service,
to the language and intent Of the new
constitution. Errors are very un-
uKely.
The great provisions OF the act re-
Earding religion, polygamy, prohibi.

tory. free common schools and the
races, have been placed among the
ordinances.
