Rights by Entry Which

| WASHINGTON May 15.--Three centu-
ries OF civilization have not brought the
1 full blood Indian 10 the point where his
rights are equal TO those of the white
man. Such was The decision today of
the supreme court of the United States in
holding constitutional the twenty five
| year restrictions on the sale OF Indian
| lands
The twenty five year restriction was
| imposed by congress in 1906. Previous to
that time individual members Of the i've
civilized tribes In Oklahoma were pre-
vented from making sales OF their laIds
within FIVE years Of the time Of ailot,
ment. The contention soon arose that
the fun -bloods had such rights as citl-
zens the law being declared unconsti-
tutional.
In the case of Marchie Tiger Il full
blood Greek. the supreme court Of Okla
homa held That the restrictions merely
referred TO lands allotted directly to the
fun bloodS and not TO the lands inherited
by them. The supreme court of the Unit
cd States holds that they applied To in
hcrtcd lands well,
Power Vested in Congress.
The court held also that only congress
could determine when the Indian became
free from the white mans guardianship
and that congress had not yet so found.
Natural gas may be transported out of
Oklahoma in pipe lines and the state
cannot prevent it, according to decision
today by the supreme court.
The court in effect approved an inIunc-
ton TO prevent the Oklahoma officials
from interfering with the Kansas Natural
Gas company. laying a pipe line into Ok
lahoma. The court held that the state
officials in so doing were interfering with
interstate commerce. An Oklahoma stat
ute authorizing the acts OF the officials
was held to be unconstitutional and void.
Against the Railroads.
Railroads coming within the terms of
the safety appliance acts OF congress in
1892 and 1908 are under an absolute duty
TO keep In repair automatic couplers and
other appliances prescribed by law and
not merely to exercise reasonable dill

sion today of the supreme court.
The supreme court dismissed for want

Mexico and Arizona

Tomorrow the Senate will say whether or no the last acre on the mainland shall form part of a sover eign state. If it votes "yea" the states will number 48 and the period of state making on the mainland will be forever ended. The first state. Vermont, was admitted in 1791, and the process has gone on 120 years until at last the country is ready to complete tfe list.
 But will the Senate consent There's the rub. There is no objec- ton to the admission of New Mexico in the Senate. The territory has in fact promised to elect two republican senators. Arizona is, however, diff ferent. It is confessedly democratic, and so objection is raised to a pro- vision in it's constitution providing for the recall of judges. The bill as reported to the Senate contains a stipulation that it's constitution shall be resubmitted to the people of the territory. Under the constitution as it stands every public officer is sub ject to recall, and a vote can be brought on by 25 per cent of the electors. In the recall petition the charges against an officer must be stated in not more than 200 words, and the man thus attacked may re- ply in 200 words.
 The issue relates not so much to the wisdom or unwisdom of the re- call as it does to the exercise of self government in Arizona. Like Oregon and probably California, Arizona has seen fit to adopt the recall. After admission she would have a clear right to adopt it, and before admis- sion she adopts it knowing that if it proves harmful 1t can be repealed. The Senate will decide tomorrow the extent of self government in Ari- zona.

Congressional Reapportionment

The Burton amendments were not sent over the wires in full. The House has, however, accepted them and it is plain reapportionment will go into eff feet next year so far as elections are concerned. The national conventions and the electoral college will conform to the law, and the states that are granted additional congressman will elect them lat large" on the general state ticket except in states where legislatures are convened and reap portionment bills are passed. The Georgia legislature is now taking steps to reapportion that state, which gains member. As the Georgia leg islature has but 10 legislative days left it's reapportionment work will necessarily be speedy.
 In this state legislative, judicial and congressional districts will be sadly out of line with the population until the state is reapportioned. The constitution of 1901 provides that the members of the house of representa- tives shall be apportioned among the counties according to population. This means of course the known and ascer- tained population of the present time, not that of IA years ago. So with the judicial districts, and even of the con- gressional districts, although in the last named case congressman could be elected lat large"
 The apportionment bill has gone to the President and it will undoubtedly be signed. It will then become the duty of every state to conform to it until after the national census is taken.

A GREEK IDYL

Charles Johnston in Harpers Weekly.
 I know nothing more delicious, more charmingly humorous in all literature, than that Grecian idyl of Moschus, where in he depicts the foam-born goddess Venus advertising for her baby Cupid, who, it would seem, was lost, stolen, or strayed. In her announcement of her loss. the mothers tender infatuation for her little son wars with the obligation of the god- dess to tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth. As loving mother Venus describes her babys curls and dim ples Then, constrained by the word of honor of an Olympan, she warns the finder of his bow, his barbed arrows, his dangerous kisses. But let the lady Venus speak for herself. Who, she asks, has seen Love wandering? He is my run away; whosoever has aught to tell of him shall have his reward, and his prize is the kiss of Aphrodite. The child is most notable thou couldst tell him among 2G together his skin is not white but flame colored, his eyes keen and burning; an evil spirit and sweet tongue has he, for his speech and his tongue arc at variance. Like honey is his voice, hut his heart of gall, all tameless is he, and deceitful, the truth is not in him willy brat, and cruel in his pastime The locks of his hair are lovely, but his brow is imprudent, and tiny are hls lit tie hands, yet far he shoots his arrows, shoots even to Acheron, and to the king of hades The body of Love is naked but well is his spirit hidden, and winged like a bird he fits and descends, now here now there, upon men and women, and nestes in their inmost hearts He hath little bow, and an arrow alway, on the string; tiny is the shaft but it carries as high as heaven. A golden culver on his back he bears, and within it his bitter arrows, wherewth full many time he wounds even me. Cruel are all those instruments of his, but more cruel by far the little torch, his very own wherewith he lights up the sun himself. And S thou catch Love, bind him, and bring him, and have no pity. and if thou see him weeping, take heed lest he give thee the slip; and If he laugh, hale him along-yea, and if he wish to kiss thee, beware for evil is his kiss, and his lips are enchanted. And in free gift all my armory-touch not at all his treacherous gifts, for they al, are dipped in fire.

Togo of Japan

Every boy as well all grown folks will be interested in the geratest naval commander In the world. Of the various estimates of the Spanish admiral now in this country, the New York suns is singu- larly striking. The Sun says in part
 ITO New York there comes today the ablest sea strategist and tactician of the age. Admiral Togo may be reckoned among those few great personalities that make history. To exaggerate the impor lance of his part in the epochal war be- tween Russia and Japan would be diff cult His task was to obtain and keep command of the Yellow Sea and the Sea of Japan The occupation of Seoul the landing of the second Japanese army under Oku on the Liao tung peninsula, Nodzus successful campaign on the Yalu, the capture of Port Arthur by Nogi, and Oyamas supreme victory on the field of Mukden were made possible only by Togo's brilliant and effective tactics be- fore Port Arthur, the purpose of which was to prevent the Russian warships from interfering with the passage of troops from ports of Japan to the Asiatic mainland.
 At Tsushma was won the victory that decided the mighty conflict. There the Baltic fleet was shattered in one brief and terrible hour and the command of the seas that lay between. Japan and Corei and between Japan and Manchuria passed incontestably to Japan. They became fiery ways for re-enforcements limited only by the capacity of the Japanese war department to furnish troops. Never was moro siznally illustrated the paramount
