Indiana Free from Vices.
THE palmy days of the Indians were
twenty years ago. before the white man
invaded the land Of the Five Civilized
Tribes said Alex. G. johnson, of Okla
homa. at the Raleigh last night.
Every Indian owned his own cabin
in the midst of free woods and open
ranges. The deer ranged in the near
hills, and in the creek bottoms his cattle
and hogs increased and fattened on the
never-failing mast and grass. Horses
were plentiful and cheap. small patch
furnished corn, beans, and pumpkins in
abundance.
The licensed traders were few and
select. and of other white men there were
none. Then came the advance agent of

THE Indian is the same Indian of
twenty years ago. He has an allotment.
but ne has no farm. He has citizenship,
but no trade or profession. He has
property and franchise, but he can

new country. and the government should
aid him in getting it,

Havana Worse Than Paris.
According to Adam f. Fox. a New
York owner Of two moving picture
shows, who has returned from a visit to
Havana and was seen at the New Eb-
bitt. there is no censorship Of moving

motion show would not stand a chance.
