MENT SUITS ON INDIAN LANDS

Lawton, Okla, July 6.--That some
settlement may be reached shortly
whereby thousands of acres of land
in eastern Oklahoma may be released
by litigation on suits brought by the
goyernmen. is the promise given by
Walter l.. Fisher, secretary of the
interior, in letter TO Congressman
Scott Ferris, received heer Thurs

1T is hoped that because Of the
large interests involved the cases may
be advanced for hearing and deci-
sion" says Secretary Fisher in his
letter
Il realize that the pendency of
these proceedings is adversely affect

and probably retarding the growth Of
the state and ] am for that reason
willing TO assist in any proper way to
bring about a settlement Of the mat
ter. providing always, that the in
teres,s of the Indians are properly
protected

as a basis for these proceedings, mis-

EQUALITY IS
ALL A FICTION
PRESIDENT CHAS. ELIOT OF HAIR
WARD UNIVERSITY SAYS MAN
HAS NO lNAllEkABLE RIGHTS.

Boston, July 6.-Dr. Charles W.
Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard
University delivered remarkable ora
ton at the patriotic exercises in Fa-
neuil Hall yesterday afternoon. He
declared that all men are not created
equal nor have they any inalienable
rights to life. liberty and the pursuit
OF happiness. Doctor Eliot reviewed
the Declaration of Independence, say
ing:
The Declaration of independence
made some general affirmations
which were not of English origin and
have never been universally accepted
by political philosophers, but which
nevertheless, have had great influ-
ence on the policies and aspiration of
the people Of the United States,
Inequality Is Inevitable.
The statement that all men are
created equal is manifestly not true
in every sense. Men are not born
equal in capacities, powers or .dispo-
sitions, and, under a regime of liber-
ty the inborn diversities of capacity
and character in different individuals
increase as life goes on, and newt
ably produce great inequalities in re
gard to property and general condi-
tions of life.
Neither have all men any inalen-
able rights to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. We and all pre-
ceding generations have constantly
seen men deprived of liberty. the free
pursuit of happiness and even of life.
Moreover. We Americans have Of
ten been in doubt whether government
really does deprive its powers
from the consent of the governed;
for we have seen in power minority
governments as results of elections.
and also governments under elective
forms which were really governments
by force. We ourselves at this mo.
ment are governing the Filipinos
without their consent.

able rights of man-with his liberty
and his pursuit of happiness-is indus

more Immediately and intensely than

IF new declaration of independ-
ence were written today it would deal
chiefly with social and industrial

of each individual on many other in

1776, and the collective action of the
community which now so frequently
oyerrides individual rights had not yet
