POLITICS WILL PREVENT
 PRESIDENTS PANAMA TRIP OF INSPECTION
(Special from United Press

Beverly, Aug. 17-So urgent has become the protests of politicians that President Taft has practically determined to forego his cherished plan of an inspection trip to Panama in November. Too many things are happening, too many political en- broglios are pending and so much business is piling up that the Exc cutive feels that he cannot be spared for the 20 days absence. Colonel Roosevelt is still an unknown quan- tity; primary results in several States to date have developed anything but encourag cement for Republican lead CTS. The President had been look ing forward to the Panama trip for many months. He is deeply inter ested in the canal work and believes that a visit from the head of the nation has good results.

is the government good pay or bad
pay, that is a question that good
many people are inquiring about from
one year to another. 1t was Presi-
dent Garfield who said that if the
United States government was an in
dividual that 1t would have been SEN
fenced to the penitentiary. Congress,
men, no matter how clean their own
lives are. no matter how good they
are about discharging their own in
debtedness, they seem to be very
careless about paying the debts Cf the
United States government.
AS an example of the carelessuess
of the government the incident of
the sale of the lands of the Ute In
dians might be cited. Those Indians
lived in Colorado They had vast
amount of territory. The government
concluded that it needed the lands
and the Indians did not need it so
they made a treaty with the Utes al
lowing them to retain only a portion
of their holdings and having them
cede to the United States the remain
der with the provision that when the
lands We're sold that the Indians
should receive the money for the
lands and the price was not to be less
than sl.25 per acre. The lands in
Colorado We're sold but bookkeepers
for the government it seems. failed
to properly do their bookkeeping and
the Utes were not credited with amy
of the selling price of the lands. Fin
ally the Utes got busy. They employ
ed William c. Shelley and other at
torneys to take their case before the
court of claims. After ten years the
Utes recovered a judgment in the
court cf claims for three and half
million dollars and have appealed to
the supreme court in hopes Of getting
a larger judgment
The United States is a sovereign
body and cannot be sued by the citi-
zen without its consent but the gov
ernment ceded its sovereignty when
1t created the court OF claims a num-
Der of years ago. This court is second
only to the supreme court of the
United States.
In 1888 when the treaty was made
with the Chickasaws and Choctaws TO
induce them to move west they were
assured of protection from the aggres.
sions of the white man and from the
invasions of the wild tribes of Indians
In the treaty of 1866 which treaty was
made necessary by the Indians having
joined the Confederacy that portion OF
the 1855 treaty was retained. The
civilized Indians did suffer from de.
predations from the wild Comanches
Continuing for several years the
peaceable Indians were imposed upon.
their horses We're stolen and finally
the civilized tribes had to go to war
to protect themselves and their prop
erty. At Boggy Depot in 1865 the In
dlans filed their claim with the Unit
ed States Indian agent for damages
from Indian depredations. The great
er portion of these claims are still
pending and in most Of the cases the
witnesses are dead and it Is difficult
to make out claim before the gov.
ernment.
