BACON RIND HEADS osAoEs.
The Progressive Indian Was Chosen
Chief of Richest Nation.

| Pawhuska, Olxla June 6. The
Progressive" ticket, headed by Chief
Bacon Rind, won an overwhelming
victory in the Usage Indian elections
held Monday Bacon Rind was elected
principal chief and Henry Red Eagle
| the assistant chief, and the measures
and policies favored by them were ap-
proved. The officers and eight men,
bers of the council chosen will hold
Office for two years as the leaders of
the tribe in Usage county formerly
the Usage Indian reservation, which is
larger than the state of Delaware and
twice the size of New Jersey.
Chief Bacon Rind is a national char
acter He is known as The Silver
Tongued Orator of the Osages, and
has made frequent visits to Washing
ton, addressing congress, the secretary
ofthe interior and the. Indian commits
sioners on important matters pertain
ing to Usage affairs. His people are
the richest per capita in the world.
The United States government pays

million dollars annually, which is in
terest for money on deposit in the ma

and money from grass leases. Chief
Bacon Rind has been prominent in
Usage politics for number of years
and has been frequently honored by
his people. He was assistant chief in
| 1904-'O5.
The election of the progressive

important steps ever taken by the
Usage tribe. Among other things it
means the development of eight hun
dred thousand acres of oil and gas
land surrounding Pawhuska. a lease
on which has already been signed. 1t
is the largest oil and gas lease ever
made in the United States The
Osages provided in the lease that all

county; that the oil company develop.
ing this large body of land must main
tain general Offices at Pawhuska, and
that 10,0O0-barrel oil refinery be
erected here.

schools and believes in making bust
ness men and women out of them. He
has assumed many of the white mans
progressive ways.

servatiyes upon whose joint action
the result Of the election will hinge?
The World hitherto has withheld it's
active support from all candidates, 1t
advocated an open convention at Bal
timore, and advised its democratic
friends to await the action of the re-
publicans at Chicago The open con
vention is assured The measure of
all the candidates has been taken.
The situation is clarified and further
delay is unnecessary.
Like a twentieth-century Genghis
Khan, Theodore Roosevelt with his
horde of prairie populists and Wall
street socialists, is sweeping down
upon the republican national conven-

check him as the degenerate Romans

of Lincoln and Seward and Chase and
Sumner and Conkling and Chandler

and Sherman and Mckinley is appar-

twilight of the gods. and the demo
cratic party must rise not only to its
opportunity but to its responsibility.
How can it do It's duty better than
to match sanity against lunacy;
craftsmanship against demogogy; the
historian against the Rough Rider;

AKIN BILL
KNOCKED OUT
All Signatures Upon Initiative Peti
tions Must Be Original Secretary
of State Holds.

Oklahoma City, June 6.-Declaring
that in his opinion from the evidence
that had been produced by the pro-
testants, that fraud had been prae-
ticed in securing the signatures to
petitions, Secretary of State Ben F.
Harrison Thursday morning held that
the Akin bill to abolish fourteen edu-
eational Institutions in the state was
insuflciert and sustained the protest
to the bill Ten days were given for
the propo ents of the bill to appeal
Attorney j. w. Bartholomew who has
been represe1 ing Akin, stated that
an appeal would be taken
This is the 1irst decision on an
initiated bill Secretary Harrison has
made and in it was involved a ques
tion that had been raised previously
by Campbell Russell in his bill to re
call the board of agriculture. That
has to do with circulator of peti
ton signing another's name to a peti
ton. Quoting the law on the point
Secretary Harrison held that the sig
nature would only be genuine wher
the person whose name appeared or
the petition had himself placed it there
in the presence of the one circulating
the petition. This will be an impor
tant point, as the secretary will have
opportunities to pass on the suffici
ency of a number of initiated bills
among which is another by Russell
for the recall of the board Of agricul
ture
Secretary Harrison held strictly tC
the provisions of the law regarding
the affidavit of the person circulating
a.petition. Such a person in making
the affidavit swears that the names
contained therein were secured ant
written by the persons in the presence
of the affiant Anything to indicate
this was not done would inyalidat'
the petition according to the secre
tary's construction of the law.
