Women and Children First.

Women and children first This
order from the deck of the Titanic
has suddenly set tic world afire As
if with q new ideal. Artists have
illustrated it with striking cartoons,
pulpits and newspaper and magazine
writer's have drawn its obvious NOR
al and new ideal. Building and loar
officers have preached and persuaded
it in the United States for eighty
one years until millions OF beautiful
American homes have been erected
worth billions of dollars to the re
public, and still over one billion do
lars is deposited with the associa
tions to build other homes-all done
and being done by the fathers, hus-
bands and sons to the one vital and
reviyifying ideal of the great repub-
lie.
Procrastination is the Titanic of
the great social seas wherein danger
and death lrk and wait for all, and
every dollar saved through a build.
ing and loan association is a life
boat in which women and children
first are to be rescued and sheltered
when the captain of the family takes
his last plunge from the bridge OF
his domestic ship.
Is It any wonder that the. race
of men who have learned to sacri-
flee day by day for the safety of
these women and children should die
with courage and resignation when
the crisis appears? The Building
and Loan Associations have had more
to do with intoxicating this practical
ideal and making all men alike in the
presence of the threatened family
than any other social business move
ment.
The Building and Loan Associations
have for eighty-one years, on this
continent been and will continue TO
be the practical life-boat for wo-
men and children endangered in the
mid ocean of life.

PRESIDENT VETOES
DEAD CLAIM BILL
/ CLAIMED AMENDMENT NOT SPE-
ClFIC-PREFERS Five ClVlLlZ-
ED TRIBES" TO WORD INDIAN''

Washington, Aug. 6.-DisregardinS
the appeals of Representative Car
ter and II. T.. p. stamford of Okla
homa. who worked hard for the pass
age of the measure. President Tart
has ver0c. the dead claim bill giving
jurisdiction TO the Oklahoma probate
courts over inherited estates in cases
of Indians who died prior to May y,
1908.
The president acted on the advice
of Secretary of the Interior Fisher
and based his veto on the allega-
ton that an amendment placed in
the bill in conference was mot sui
ficiently specific. This amendment
sought to perfect the bill by the use
of the word Indian" whereas the
president and Secretary Fisher held
that the words Five Civilized Tribes
should have been used. 1t is DelieV-
ed that the objection to this amend
ment was merely preteXt and that
the bill was killed by the president
because it was framed and put
through by democrats.
The presidents action clearly de-
fines the issue in Indian matters in
Oklahoma between the republicans
and democrats, the latter being in
favor of loosening things up, while
the administration is opposed to that
policy.

In allottng the Osages in 1906,
it was provided that they should con

that the officers elected by the In

partment 1t was provided, too, that
when such approval was not given,
that vacancies would exist and that
the Usage tribal council would then
adopt regulations to fill them
The interior department has re-
fused to approve the Bacon Rind
election, but on the other hand the
Usage council is standing pat with
Bacon Rfnd and refuses to make reg

and assistant chief. This ultimatum
has been sent to Washington.
There is another congressional act
relative to the Osages. however, un-
der which the interior department
can act. and it is understood that
this will be taken advantage of and
the department itself will fix the
regulations to fill the vacancies.
There is also a provision that per

has it, that if the license asked
