SOUTH TO SEND DELEGATES
BUSINESS MEN TO ATTEND CON-
SERVATIoN CONGRESS-
More Than a Thousand Expected to
Participate in Conference to
Be Held in December.

The national conservation cOmmi IS ion
has received word that at least 1000 of
| the leading business men of the south
will be present in Washington when the
commission holds. it's first full meeting
here early in December.
This information comes in a letter
from G. Grosvenor Dawes, secretary of
the Montgomery. Ala. Commercial Club.
who tells of meeting of the represent
atiyes of numerous business associa-
lions In the southern states, held in At
lanta. These men formed a working
organization. and. after receiving assur-
ances Of support from commercial bodies
all through the SOUTH issued a call for a
southern commercial congress- The time
and place were set SO that the members
can be in Washington during the first
meeting of the conservation commission,
on December 1. the conference between
the commission and the governors of the
states or their representatives which fol-
lows, on December s, and the meeting Of
the national rivers and harbOrs congress-
| which will be held here during that time,
in the proceedings of all Of which the
men who will compose the southern
commercial congress are intensely in
terested from a business standpoint The
chief purpose of the southerners in hold
ing their big meeting is, in the words Of
one of the OriginatOrs. the provoking
of fuller understanding by the people
of the south of the gifts that nature has
placed under their control"
Mr.. Dawes in his letter suggests that
the attainment of a fuller understanding
between the south and other parts OF
the country would have its effect in bet
tering business conditions in the south
also. He writes:
THE southern commercial congress is
also intended as a means of combating
hindering prejudices that exist against
the south in both northern and eastern
states. We have felt that such preju-
dfces are most easily removed by per-
sonal contact, and we shall therefore
work to have present on December and
1000 or 1900 leading business men of
the south. who will later stay to partici-
pate in the deliberations of the national
rivers and harbors congress, and also be
present In Washington to receive inspi-
ration from the reports made to the ma
tional conservation commission
Beyond all this we feel that the
presence of our solid business men in
meetings made up largely Of solid bust
ness men of the north and east will act
as a guarantee and pledge Of business
mems participation in further political
affairs Of the south. and thus guarantee
safety to investors"

PORT TOWNSEND. Wash. October
3-Chinese freight and passengers
brought by the japanese steamship Iyo
from Yokohama and China ports yester-
day indicate early dissolution of the
Chinese boycott that has been directed
against the japanese and Japanese ves-
sells for nearly year.
The managers for the line owning the
Iyo and other vessels plying between

within the past few days practically all
the shippers to China have directed by
cable that their business in the future
could be routed by the Japanese line
without danger of creating hostile senti-
ment.

of the red men who are one Of the par
ties to the compact.
They also claim that they are required
to pay the penalties of citizenship with
out enjoying any of it's benefits" that
they are being forced into a state of con-
gestion without having the knowledge
or experience of white people to exist
under such conditions
But the main point of their contention
is given as the wording of the treaty of
March a, 1892. made at the city of
Washington between Lewis, Cass and
other commissioners on one SIDE spe-
of the United States. and the Creek tribe
of Indians. In this treaty the Creeks
coded to the United States all their vast
possessions east of the Mississippi river.
Then the treaty states:
THE United States are DESTROYS that the
Creeks should remove to the country west
of the Mississippi. and join their coun-
trymen there. and for this purpose 1t is
agreed that fast as the Creeks are
prepared to emigrate they shall be re-
moved at the expense of the United
States. There shall also be given to each
emisrating warrior a rifle. molds, wiper
and ammunition, and to each family one
blanket.
sissipp shall be solemnly guaranteed to
the Creek Indians" further states the
treaty nor shall any state or territory
ever have a right to pass laws for the
government OF such Indians. but they
shall be allowed to govern themselves, SO
far as may be compatible with the gem
eral jurisdiction which Congress may
think proper to exercise over them. And
the United States will defend them from
unjust hostilities of other Indians"
To Hold for All Time.
1t was explained that the treaty was
to hold good for all time-"so long as the
sun shines. water runs and the grass
grows
Among the distinguished Americans of
that day who signed the treaty were
Lewis Cass, Samuel Bell. William r.
King, John Upton. c. c. Clay and eight
others. The Indians who affixed their
mark to the paper included Chiefs Opothe-
holo, MISUNDERSTANDING, -Efiematla and
four others

severalty and being subjected to harsh
treatment" at the hands of Oklahoma
state officers. They also asked that the
terms of the treaty of 1892 be lived up to-
Judge Woodruff explained to them that
the act Of Congress creating the state OF
Oklahoma had evidently abrogated the
treaty of 1892 and that any redress the
Indians might secure would have to come
through the legislative body of that state
He, however. gave it as his opinion that
Congress would not now take any action
which would interfere with the statehood
of Oklahoma. He said the Interior De-
partment was carrying out the law passed
by Congress in reference to Oklahoma and
the Indians.
Judge Woodruff manifested keen in

Has Faith in the People.
Orator Harjo declared that the Indians
are not satisfied with the present situa-
ton of affairs. and it was decided to make
an appeal to the American people with
the hope that Congress may be Influenced
to In some manner right the wrong they
claim has been imposed upon their people

the earth, and he will see that the right
prevails. We have confidence in the
Great Father. and also in the great mass

Chief Harjo has with him we'll worn

the paper was drawn up and signed by the
commissioners on both sides. He also has
two big silver treaty medals presented
to the Indians as pledge OF the good
faith Of the United States government
in carrying out the treaty and its pro-
visions. One Of the silver tokens has

that the faces of two of the distinguished
Presidents of this country had been

believe it. but will tell the American
people about the matter and wait results
Recently the Creek Indians have sent
several petitions for fair play to President
Roosevelt and a number of complaints to
the Indian Office complaining Of certain
acts of the county officers of Oklahoma

Harjo is typical Creek Indian. with

grievances and claims of his people. He
is a devout Christian. and says he has all

His interpreter, John Smith. is an edu-
Gated half-breed Indian, and like Harjo
is a Christian and an earnest advocate
of Indian rights.

The National Committee.
The complaints about the Republican
National Committee, which have been
heard In the East, are pretty strong in
the West. The Chicago Headquarters
has not been doing effective organiza-
ton work any more than the New York
Headquarters have been doing Prob
ably no one man can be blamed for all
of this state of affairs. The elimination
of the old guard politicians, who have
been active in running National cam
paignS in recent years, is one of the
causes. 1t takes time to build up a
good political machine, as Mr. Taft is
now very well aware. Then there has
been a lack of money and without
plenty of money campaign operations
are necessarily restricted In former
years the National Committee has done
deal of educational and organization
work for State and Congressional cam
didates for Office. This year the Con-
gressional candidates find they have to
do this work for themselves, including
the distribution of large quantities of
literature bearing on the general is
sues, and the pacification of aggrieved
voters in divers localities. The candi-
date for President Is expected to lead
the ticket, and any weakness of his as
candidate Is often reflected upon the
Congressional candidates. Therefore
when the work of the National Conn
mittee is not aggressive and fruitful Of
good results the Congressional candi-
dates not only suffer but they are quick
to grumble.
Nevertheless. in the course of a few
weeks, when the election has been de-
cided and politics have been relegated
for awhile, numerous things that look
large to the aspirants for office and to
the oniookers in campaign will seem
trifing indeed. 1t will all be the same.
if the Republicans win. and with
winning, however narrow the margin,
all the prediction difficulties will be
speedily forgotten.
