.OCIALlSTS SHOW SYMPATHY
SWAMP Fl. SCOTT PoSToFFIcE
WITH SUBSCRIPTIONS.
EGitcrs on Trial Receive Hundreds OF
Letters From Sympathizers all
Over Country.

Fort Scott, Kansas.-Socialists all
over the United States have taken a
striking manner of showing their
sympathy with the publishers OF the
Appeal to Reason, who are on trial In
the United States district court here,
accused of sending improper matter
through the mails.
More than 1000 of them have sent
letters to the defendants. Each let
ter contains from Ave to 200 sub
scriptions TO the Appeal to Reason.
1t Is estimated that the subscriptions
total $4,000 and each mail is bringing
in more.
The envelopes bear this direction to
the postmaster: Deliver this letter
to the editors Of the Appeal to Rea'
son, now on trial in the postoffice
building at Fort Scott, Kan. Should
it be delayed and not reach Fort Scott
until the trial is over, forward to the
Appeal to Reason at Girard. This let
ter contains subscriptions to the Ap-
peal to Reason"
This enormous increase IN mali mas
almost swamped the postoffice here.
Every available man is being kept
on duty.
The trial was postponed at the re-
quest of ]. l. Sheppard, attorney for
the publishers. He is also attorney
for Bruce Mitchell, accused of assault
ing the postmistresS at Fuller, Kan,
and stealing a mail package contain
ing $4,000. Judge Pollock consented
to take this matter up before the APP
peal to Reason case.
The effort of the government to
prove that Sheppard, Warren and
Wayland had conspired to get julius
p McDonough, the prosecutions star
witness, to leave the country, failed
After a day of testimony Judge Pol
lock said the evidence was insufficient
and discharged the three.

AID is SOUGHT FOR INDIANS
Catawbas Of South Carolina Have Al
ways Been Friendly to the
Whites.

In South Carolina is the earliest
civilized tribe of Indians in the United
States, and they are not the wards Of
the government. These are the Ca
tawbas, and they number approximate
ly 100.
State Senator w. H. Stewart of
South Carolina is in Washington to
confer with the congressional delega-
ton of that state with the view Of
having these Indians placed on the
same basis as all other red men, and
1t is probable that bill will shortly
be introduced to this end.
1T is strange, perhaps, that the Ca
tawba Indians, who have been wards
of the state of South Carolina for
many years, should never have receiv-
ed any recognition from the national
government" said Senator Stewart,
but it Is a fact, nevertheless. The
Catawbas are the only American In
dams, so far as my knowledge goes,
that have always been friends of the
white man. They never took the blood
of a white man, and during all the
early struggles of the whites against
the Indians the Catawbas remained
true They were in what is now South
Carolina when the first whites reach
ed that territory, and they have re-
manned there.
For long time the Cherokees &C.
cupied the same territory, and, there
was continual strife between the two
tribes, for the Cherokees were among
the most bloodthirsty tribes on this
continent In all the struggles the Ca
tawbas took sides with the settlers
against the Cherokees. The latter In
dams massacred many of the settlers
in South Carolina.
The state government, after having
taken care of these Indians for so
many years, now is seeking to have
the national government make pro-
vision for them, SO that they can, in
common with other Indians, have
lands allotted to them and become
American citizens, which is only just
and fair Washington Post.
