Candidate for Citizenship.

Michael A. J. P. Borg arrived in
Washington about the middle of De-
cember with consignment of animals
by Mr.. Roosevelt, and on his second
day in this country declared his inten-
ton of making application for citizen
ship to the United States. Mr.. Borg
was born on the island of Malta Of a
native father and an English mother,
and he has been a wanderer up and
down the face of the earth for many,
many years, his blood seeming to be
filed with the wanderlust He has been
in every country on the globe, speaks
nine languages and is admusician of
note, performing upon seyen different
musical instruments. Mr. Borg says
that he is deeply in love with the Unit
ed States, because he finds 1t the health
lest, cleanest and most desirable coun-
try he has ever been in Early in life
he went to England, where he Joined
the British army as Band Sergeant.
He served in Tuhis, Algfers, Bizerte,
England and Gibraltar. later he was
Director of the Anglo Maltese Band at
Port Said.
He was engaged at Port Said by A.
iOdhti, ASsoiSldHC'
the local Zoo, to care for the animals
during their transportation to America.
He tells several interesting anecdotes
of the voyage. OF the animals on board
the vessel he says but six were lost.
| These were four antelopes and two
Thompson gazelles, which were unable
to withstand the severe weather when
the ship turned north to enter the har-
Dor at Philadelphia.
One Thompson gaZelle, however, was
saved, and is now at the local Zoo. 1t
is the first of its kind to be brought
into the United States. Much amuse-
ment was afforded the sailors, accord
ing to Mr.. Borg, by the baboon which
was brought here. 1t was given the
name of Tubby, to which it rapidly
learned to answer The monkey was
allowed its liberty at the end of a long
chain during the entire voyage and
amused itself by emulating the seamen
in climbing the rigging.

Mr.. Harjo hits Indian education as it
now stands some hard and undeserved
knocks. He says: The education of
the Indian is a farce. Schools accom-
plish nothing. All we ask is our rights
under the treaty of 1928" MIR. Harjo
being an Indian and, like all the other
wards of the Government" dead sure
of clothes and food while the Indians
are wards of the Government, much
prefers for that condition of things to
stand. 1t is a heap easier to draw an
nuitieS from the Government to live
upon than it is to get out and hustle,
and that has been one of the chief
faults of the treatment of the Indians
in this country. If the United States
Government had commenced 100 years
ago to teach the Indian to be n man
instead of trying to force him to re-
main minor, We would never have
had as much of an Indian problem as
has plagued us for the last century.

Senator julius Burrows, of Michigan,

sired to be thus honored are DIR. Oc-

Eufaula HarjO. who is the represen-
tative in Washington of the four tribes
of Indians in Oklahoma, is in Washing
ton trying to induce Congress to take
some action to protect the Chickasaws,
Cherokees, Creeks and Choctaw Indians
in Oklahoma from the operation of
Oklahoma laws, which make the In
dians citizens of the State. Mr.. Harjo
declares that his people do not want to
be citizens. He says they want to con-
tinue to be wards of the Government
He says:
The red man is not fitted for citi-
Zenship. This Government takes far
more care to guard the rights of the
negro than it does those of the Indians
Surely the Indians have as much, if not
more, claim on the United States than
the negro. We want the United States
to live up to the treaty OF 1928, which
guaranteed that the Indians should be
wards of the Government and be taken
care of as long as grass grows, water
runs or the sun Shines meaning for
ever. The Government is not living up
to that treaty with the Oklahoma In
dams"

met him casually on the street in Astoria.
