aKickers' Are the Men That Smash
Corrupt Political Machines

Editor The Call-The republican
party has been long in power, and, like
every other party that has flouished in
America in the past, the real power has
become concentrated in few hands,
which few have learned the worth OF
power. and in their efforts to exploit
laid conscience away in quiet desue-
tude.; So called regular republicans
are wont to call all earnest men
who seek to redistribute the party's
power among the people. whence
1t came and where it still belongs,
kickers, never giving thought to the
historical fact that kickers have been
the fathers of all reforms. Magma
charta was secured from King John by
kickers among his subjects. Ameri-
cas- liberty was secured by kickers
against King Georges arrogance and
injustice. The little band of patriots
who formed the republican party were
active kickers against the abuses of
power, then held by the aristocratic
slave holding bosses, sometimes called
the slave holding olfgarchy."
Is 1t possible our old machine poli-
ticians do not realize that vigorous
kick within the party against the for
nation of a republican oligarchy is the
only salvation for the party? Unless
there be concession made to the just
demands of the true lovers of liberty
and equality. kickers, as they term
them, the political brigands now en-
joying usurped power will be kicked
entirely out of power. EvAD.

Congress has been in session for two

who have determined, among them
selves, on program which calls for
little or no general legislation.
Because of this attitude, President
Roosevelt sent in his special message
af January 3lst. The purpose Of this
message was to impress on Congress
the need of enacting certain laws, and
to direct the attention Of the country
to the necessity of action by their leg

vention may have also been the
result of Mr.. Warmers anxiety.
Senator Owen, of Oklahoma,
made a splendid impression in
the s, nate this week when he de-
bated the Aldrich Bill, which.
by the way, will probably be
passed by the Senate next week.
Mr.. Owen exhibited . perfect
command of language and a fine
presence when he made his maid
en- speech. Later, however. he
unfortunately advocated a N
amendment to the Indian Appro-
priation Bill which would oper-
ate to remove all the restrictions
which Congress has placed around
the transfer of his lands by the
Indian, based on the idea that
the Indian is not yet competent
to deal with white men and half
bloOds without getting cheated.
Mr.. Owen took the ground that
inasmuch as the Indians of the
Five Civilized Tribes had been
absorbed by the State of Okla
homa, they were no longer In.
dlans, but citizens of the United
States. The unfortunate feature
of the affair was that Senator
Owen has secured options on
about 5000 acres of the finest
land in Oklahoma which he is
seeking tO-purchase from the In
dians at prices which the Secre
tary of the Interior maintains are
merely nominal. Under these
circumstances, the new Senator
lost in one day ell of the ground
that he had gained in the Senate
on the day previous.
The President has sent to the
Senate thirteen treaties framed
at the Hague Convention. Eleven
of them. it is said, will be rati
fed without objection. but two
will meet With strong Democrati,
opposition, and possibly with OPP
pasitiOn from the majority. The
two which are found objection
able are that dealing with rrizs
courts and that practically enun,
ciating the Drago Doctrine.
