LINCOLN. D. c.

There was a large and distinguish
ed audience present last Sunday ar
the Training School for Women and
Children, at Lincoln, D. C., under
the superintendency of Miss Mamie
H. Burroughs, This young woman
is an honor to the women of this
country because she is doing some
thing for her people.
The exercises last Sabbath were
conducted by Miss Burroughs. At
three thirty o'clock the meeting was
called to order and Rev. !. l. Low
ing preached a special sermon. He
took for his text Proverbs roth chap
ter and end verse. His sermon was
eloquent and instructive. Rev. Low
ing was followed by Mr.. w. Calvin
Chase, who delivered a very humor-
Gus address and he was followed BY
Missionary Miles c. Maxheld, who
never fails to instruct his hearers.
His address was very entertaining.
The school rendered several musical
selections, after which a collection
was taken for the school. Miss
Burroughs is entitled to the support
and encouragement of every Chris
tian man and woman. She is ele-
waiting the women and children Of
her race. She is making an effort
to build large, $4,000 building
and to do this she must be support
ed The Baptist denomination has
a monument to its credit and most
Baptist churches in this city could
contribute monthly to this school
The citizens should visit this plant
and see for themselves the wonder
ful work that has been accomplished

Indians Claim
CHOCTAW AND CHICKA-
SAW DESCENDANTS


Petition and Argument. Mil
ton Turner, Wilbur E. King
For Petitioners.
To the President:
The undersigned, representing
large body of citizens of the
State Of Oklahoma, who are of
mixed Indian-Negro blood and
were formerly citizens of the
Observation-Disclosures tribe, re-
spectiully represent that under
the treaties and laws of the
United States, and as fully shown
by the decisions of the Attorney
General of the United States and
of the Department of the Interi-
or, the said citizens are entitled,
as descendants of ChOCtaw-ChiC-
kasaw Indians, to full and equal
participation with other Indians
and with citizens of mixed Indian
and white blood, to the proceeds
and avails of the tribal property
of the Choctaw and Chickasaw
Nations, which is now about to
be finally disbursed and distrib-
uted.
Fhe title to the lands was con
hrmed by the treaties to the
Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians
and their descendants. The full
blood Negroes were given, by the
treaties, forty acres of land. The
citizen with mixed Indian and
white blood has been awarded
his full rights as a descendant OF
an Indian. The people we repre-
sent, having an admixture of In
dian and Negro blood, instead
of being placed upon the rolls OF
citizenship to which they were
entitled by reason of their de
scent from Indians, have been
enrolled upon the full blood Ne
gro rolls and have thereby been
deprived of their rights.

terror and the Acknowledgement
decided in the James w. Shirley
case, and later in the Joe and
billiard Perry case, on the 18th
of February, 1905, that these
citizens were entitled to enroll
ment on the citizenship roll.
This decision OF the Department
was reversed by a subsequent
opinion on November nth, 1905
for the sole reason that Congress
had fixed the date of December
24th, 1902, as the date for clos
ing the rolls OF citizenship and
though the rights of these people
were ,undoubted, there was no
r:-ethod by which their rights to
citizenship and those which fol-
lowed citizenship could be de
termined or obtained, by reason
of the act OF Congress closing
the rolls of citizenship as of that
date. In order to remedy this
injustice, two bills were intro
duced at the first session of the
Goth Congress, House Bill TO-
go in the House, and Senate
Bill 600, in the Senate. The
Senate bill was referred to the
subcommittee on Indian Affairs,
reported back and passed the

JUDGE WRIGHT VS.. CONGRESS
The Congress of the United States,
Senators as we'll as Representatives
have been made to understand that
Judge Wrights's rule to show cause
must be obeyed. Judge Wright is
one man who has as much respect
for the most humble citizen as he
does for Congress. Men who make
laws are often caught themselves
violating the law. According to the
theory of the Senators who have dis
obeved the order Of the court. but
must eventually obey it. that those
Senators who were caught and con-
victed for robbiHg the government
are immune-were they? The court
did not say 50. The order Of the

THE ALUMNI OF WILDER.
FORCE

Inc meeting being planned by the
local alumni of the Wilbeforce Uni
versity for Tuesday, March Sth, is
taking on large proportions. The
committee will spare no pains to
make this meeting a great success.
President Taft, Justice Harlan
and President Scarborough of the
University will address the meeting.
The Ohio delegation in Congress
will be present on that night.
Music will be furnished by the
Lyric Orchestra and the Metropoli-
tan Choir.
The object of the meeting is to
give the public some idea as to the
needs of this worthy institution.
Wilberforce is named in honor of
William Wilberforce, who with
Charles and Pitt succeeded in 1888
in the abolition of slavery through
= out the British Empire.
The institution was founded in
I847. Among its trustees were
Gov. Solomon P. Chase, afterward
Chief Justice of the United States
Supreme Court, and DR.. R. R.
Bond.
The institution stands for the
education of the heart and head and
as expressed in the Theological Sem
mary, Academic Department, and the
Industrial Department second to
none in this country.
In 1894 the United States Gov
ernment established there a cadet
military department and designated
Lieut.. Alexander from West Point
as instructor, after the death of
Lieut.. Alexander, Lieut.. Young Of
the 9th United States Cavalry be-
Icame instructor In this department
the boys not only learn the art of
war, but they are cultivated in the
art OF manner and good morals.
Rows upon graduation are placed up
on the record at the War Depart
ment in case the country should
need them to defend the flag. In the

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie has offer
ed to donate one half the cost OF
erecting a dormitory on the Univer-
sity campus for girls provided we
raise the balance. Let us say here
that this is not Mr.. Carnegie's first
aid to Wilberforce. In 1907 he do
mated a fine library building for
which he will always be remembered
by the students and community.

bill was reported from the

Since that time the preparation
for the distribution of the prop
ertv of the Observation-Disclosures
tribe has been going rapidly for
ward and unless there be some
remedial legislation at once, the
property to which these people
are entitled will be distributed
and beyond control Of the Gov
ernment.
The legislation proposed by
the aforesaid bills was simply
the delegation of authority to
the Secretary Of the Interior to
transfer from the Freedmen or
Negro rolls, to the roll of cit1-
zens by blood, such persons as
were of Choctaw and Chickasaw
Indian blood on the side OF eth
er parent.
The deprivation of the rights
of these people has been caused
merely by the erroneous classif-
cation of these citizens by the
officers of the Interior Depart
ment. There is no legal excuse
and no moral reason why these
rights should be denied, but
without additional legislation the
right might as we'll be non-exis-
tent, because it is apparently
without remedy except by action
of Congress.
1t may be remarked that it is
only in the Choctaw-Chickasaw
tribe where this discrimination
against Negro blood in the dis
tribution Of the tribal property
now obtains. The discrimina-
ton and denial of the property
rights of the Negro in the other
tribes has long ago been cor
rected by legislation and by de-
cisions OF the Court of Claims.
1t might also be observed that
friends of the Indians, inimical
| tn the interests of these descend
ants, have advanced the argu-
ment that the contention OF
these persons is based only upon
the same disposition, and has no
more foundation than set forth
by the Negro at the close of the
Civil War for the contiscation
and distribution of the slave
owners property, There is alb
solutely no analogy in these
claims. Whatever may be said
against the claims made in that
day, the present condition arises
out of bona fde contract in the
form of treaties between the
| Government and the ChOCtaW
and Chickasaw Nations and the
statute and tribal laws as they
relate to the property rights Of
! these people, and no claim or
right is here being urged that
does not derive its vitality from
| the same source as that of the
white descendants of Indians,
which right goes today unques-
toned.
The Indian in the Indian Ter
ritory had no rights to the lands
except such rights as were given
him by the National Govern
ment. When the grant was made
to them Of lands in the Indian
Territory, the grant was to the
Indians and their descendants.
| The Negro was taken by the In
dian away from all Of the advan-
tages Of civilization and chained
to the environment of a nomadic
and primitive life. The Negro
became to all intents and pur-
| poses, and without his consent,
an Indian. Except for such ha-
bits Of industry as he had inherit
ed from a life of slavery under
white masters, he had no more
ability to earn a livelihood than
the Indian. The inherited habit
of industry was in all cases les
sened, and in many cases entire
! ly destroyed, by reason OF the
association with the Indian. The
