 For several days the road over the mountains to Ft. Apache was made practically impossible as the result of heavy rains and snows. Several cars of freight for that point could not be moved over the mountains and were left standing on the track in Hol- brook. The roads became so bad that mail carriers had to abandon their buckboards and make the journey on horseback. The roads are now getting in better shape and travel is re- commencing in that direction.

tribes. All those people who keep more
or less watch upon the affairs of the
Indians and endeavor to protect their in
terests, such as the missionaries who
work among them, protest against taking
these people to Mescalero at the price OF
sacrificing their lands. and advise them
to decline to go IL they are given the
matter Of choice.
This Is really fair land in which these
Indians live. Their lands are In agri-
cultural Oklahoma and are the same as
those lands that have been settling up
in the past decade in such a way as to
make this the most rapidly growing sec
ton of the United States. The lands are
like Kansas ana but wait for develop
ment to yield the same sort of crops.
These Indians have lived for two decades
on these lands and what little they know
about getting along in the ways of the
white man Is In farming these lands, for
these sons Of warlike savages are today
the most inoffensive. pastoral people in
the world.
But the manner of life followed by
these prisoners has been such as to lead
to nothing but their degradation. In the
first place they are allowed to own no
property Their lands and their herds
are in common man may be as

do not For every man among these In

true there are 235 entirely innocent per-
sons who are thus being kept in captivity.
On the basis of the broadcast possible in
depreciation of the guilt Of any of these
people 1t must be acknowledged that
there is no possibility of more than a
very small percentage OF them ever nav
ing offended against the government.
So, in America in the twentieth century
is to be found a case that Is in every
way comparable with those conditions
which existed in England in the days
when Charles Dickens as q boy was
thrown into a London prison, and there
languished, because Of debts that were
owed by his father.
And now into the present Congress has
been introduced q bill which proposes to
release these Indians from captivity upon
certain conditions. Like most bills that
have to do with the disposition of In
dams, this one is mixed up with the per-
sonal interests of a certain community
and gives little heed to the rights of the
Indians in question. The bill provides
that whatever Indians may see fit can,
by giving up all their rights on the Fort
Sill reservation, be transferred to the
Mescalero Indian reservation In New
Mexico The bill appropriates money LOT
this transfer and provides for the SAFE
of the personal property of these Indians.

In this connection it should be remem-

To come down to modern times, 1t Is
known that Napoleon III, become en-
peror OF the French, was much embar-

ropean secret societies working at that
moment 'for the unity OF Italy.
The world knows the story OF Orsinfs
bomb, but the final pressure that con-
strained Napoleon to throw France into
the struggle for Italian unity was other
wise continuous and varied. In the cata-
combs Of the Chaillot quarter, whose gall
lerfes run almost under the Champs Ely
sess, the Carbonarl had their occult seat.

ions of the emperor among them gave
him proofs that they could enter the

they assured him that he could be cap
