EVIDENCE OF GROSS
ABUSE BY GUARDIANS

Guthrie, Okla, May IL. Through
the efforts Of the state commissioner
Iof charities, Miss Kate Barnard, there
has just been discovered among the
Indian counties of the east side gross
abuse of the power of guardianship by
the guardians of Indian orphans ap-
pointed by the federal government be-
fore statehood. Such a condition ex-
lists there in certain counties as al
most to suggest the term of guardian
brokerage. 1t has been found that
one man, and frequently dishonest
one, is acting as guardian for as many
as hundred children and is fiagrant-
ly defrauding these children of their
property.
The commissioner has found case
in one town where one man is the
legal guardian of 125 children. He
was appointed by the federal authori-
ties before statehood In the Orphans
Home at Pryor Creek, there are fifty
three orphan Indians of this number
it has been discovered that twenty
seven are the owners of considerable
property. but that their guardians are
keeping the proceeds of this property,
and that the state is paying all the
expense of keeping them at the
home. OF this number six men are
acting as the guardians of the twenty
seven children.
Under the provisions Of AN act pass
ed by the recent legislature, a guar
dian appointed by the federal govern
ment before statehood can BE forced
to come into the state courts and give
a final accounting, and also show
cause why the guardianship should
not be taken away. Under this statute
Miss Barnard proposes to proceed,
and those who have abused their
power of guardianship will be inyesti-
gated at once 81.

AMONG THE EXCHANGES
The Race for Governor.

Very few of the South Carolina
newspapers have become excited over
the race Tor governor. There are sew
eral good men running. the election
of either of whom will prove to be
satisfactory on the whole. The Char
lesion News and Courier has come out
strongly for Mcleod and the Columbia
State has started fight on the ground
OF alleged inconsistency against Fea-
therstone. Few of the newspapers
except the home newspapers of the
candidates, and not all of these, have
Indicated any preference.
The Journal stated at the beginning
OF the canvass that the second race
would probably be between Feather
stone and Mcleod with Featherstone
having somewhat the better of the
chances for final success. Develop
ments so far in the canvass, we think,
strengthen this opinion.
1t does not matter very much who
is governor except that the choice of
the people for governor is likely 20
influence the legislature in its course
toward the liquor question. The legis-
lature is proverbially timid Nearly
every member of it has further po-
litical ambitions for himself and is
determined to be most careful not to
do anything that would imperil his
prospects. Therefore, if they believe
the people want prohibition law.
one will be enacted; if not an effort
will be made to give the people what
they want.
This newspaper further believes
that the people of South Carolina
want State prohibition law and they
are going to Indicate that by elnctiny
a prohibtionist Fcathcrstone is for
several reasons the leading prohibi-
ton candidate; one of the reasons be-
ing that he made the race i'm 1898 as
a prohibitionist and WAS defeated bv
the narrow majority of 5000 votes
caused either by the treachery or the
Observation-Disclosures OF the Columbia state.
which at the last moment switched
over to Ellerbe the state dispensarv
