sacred obligations, which is pro-

ruin the men who have in good

His stenographers worked over
time preparing suits to harass
the men who are devoting their
lives to the opening up and de-
veloping of the Indians lands.
The papers are kept full of what
this mighty messenger is doing
for the Chosen Peoples" the
great amount of land he is pro-
tecting for them; and the num-
Der of suits he has started and
the great many he is going to
start, all to protect the Quapaws,
the heirs and orphans from
the grasping propensities of the
white man. Blackening the fair
name of this reservation, by at
lacking everything and every
body; driving the investors from
it. as no one wants to invest
money in a district, where the
mighty hand of this government
is crushing the development by
its misguided policy. Not JUS
tice or right! But Might!
Behold! a year ago this spirit
descended on the Quapaws. He
spake thus to his chosen people:
II come to free you from your
enemies; can stay but a short
time; make haste; all with whom
you have had any dealings are
rogues and thieves, but behold
an honest and righteous man has
come amongst you; a square
dealer of the Roosevelt type, now
YOU will see things change"
Alas! things have changed,
the mighty has fallen; yes, fall
len below the depth of those he
so glibbly called thieves. The
real cause for this distorted VS.
ION of the Righteous God has
been made bare, and has shown
the cloven foot OF the God and
his Archangel.
Sent to protect the Quapaws,
the widows and the orphans, he
has proceeded to procure their
lands for below the actual value
or even the selling price which
could be obtained for such lands,
were a fair and clear chance to
secure same ever given the pub
lie. Under cover, and with the
information of the Indian De-
partment, which is kept from the
public, he bought by secret SALE
the allotment of Charles Blue
Jacket, deceased, through the OF
ficials of the Department OF the
Interior, he being an employee
of the Department of Justice
and in this reservation for the
purpose of protecting the Indians
and assisting them to get the
best from their lands and leases

succeeded IN obtaining deed fol
