US. SENATOR
IS SUING HIS
Constituents
BY ellison Gardner.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April %.
For the first time in the his
tory of the United States, a
United States senator is suing his
political constituents for $780,
600 as legal fee for securing leg
islation for them. The claimant
is Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma,
and his case was argued before
the court of claims today.
1t is true that the legislation
was secured for his constituents
before he became their United
States senator, but even SO, the
affair is unusual.
The Owen claim is for / 5 per
cent of 100000, at which
figure the senator estimates the
estate he, with others, obtained
for the Mississippi Choctaws.
Although Senator Owen is of
Indian blood, he is not a Choctaw,
but a Cherokee, and it was while
pressing the claims of the East
ern Cherokees, for whom he re-
covered 100000 in 1906, that
the battle for the Mississippi
Choctaws was first taken up. So
his brief sets forth.
Owen pleads that he and his
associates, Charles F. Winton,
James X. Jones, former senator
from Arkansas and former chair
man of the democratic national
committee, and Walter A. Logan,
took up their work for these In
dams when the latter were in IAN
extremely impoverished condition,
doingDthe hardest day labor at a
very low wage, chopping wood,
making rails, building fences,
blowing and hoeing cotton, under
conditions almost of quasi peon-
age"
There was another condition of
these and other Indians which
Senator Owen does not recite,
and that was that they were so
beset by lawyers of various de-
grees of professional standing so
that in May, 1900, congress pass
ed an act making void any con-
tract entered into by the Missis-
sippi Choctaws, these including
several hundred made with the
Choctaw Cotton company, a COM
pany organized by Owen.

Navasota, Texas.

This announcement will be received
with much interest by Bryan people,
as both contracting parties are well
known here. Miss Goree was form
erly a pupil at B. B. A., and as a stu
dent she was much beloved by faculty
and classmates. She is a girl with a
charming personality and is quite a
favorite in Navasota social circles.
The groom is also well remembered in
Bryan, as he has spent most of his life
here. He holds a responsible position
with one of the leading firms in Nava-
sofa and has by his uprightness and
gentlemanly bearing won the high re-
gard of all. Bryan friends extend to
this couple numerous and sincere con-
CALCULATIONS for long and prosperous
married life.

HOW JOE BAILEY EXPLAINED.

Texas newspapers are still pub
fishing the letters of Senator Morris
Sheppard explaining his action in the
Texarkana postoffice appointment. A
public official is in hard luck when
ever it is necessary for him to go to
explaining Every explanation re-
quires dozen other explanations to
explain the first explanation and the
explainer is soon lost on an uncharted
sea of explanation that cannot be ex-
plained.-Bryan Eagle. Possibly Nor
ris learned this Objectionable habit
from his predecessor, one ]. w. Bailey
who is the most striking example men
toned in history of the truth of what
you say. He explained himself out OF
the center of the spotlight into inglo-
rious oblivion.-East Texas Register.
zone ]. W. Bailey" never explained
nor attempted to explain anything.
Whenever his enemies accused him of
anything he called them a bunch of
seventeen different kinds of liars and
invited them to go where the snow
seldom falls. Then if they put up
fight he proved them to be liars, as the
records will show in every instance.
When Judge Gordon Russell of Sher-
man was here a few days ago to de-
liver the baccaaureate address at the
A. and NJ. College, he stated, in the
presenc of several gentlemen in dis
cussing the senatorial question that
az. w. Bailey was the greatest senator
the United States ever had, or ever
would have. That he believed as
firmly in his integrity and honor as
he did in heaven itself, and that he
was today recognized as the greatest
lawyer in the United States. That in
the first sixty days after his retire
ment from the Senate he made 100000

Not "practicing influence" as his en-
emies charged when he was in the
Senate as he was then a private citi-
zen. Sixty thousand dollars in sixty
days, more money than some of his
traducers ever saw, much less earned

ferred to by the East Texas Register

give any thought to lettering their
condition. The above utterance Of
the Register is also a strong argu.
ment in favor of the A. and M. Col
lege. One of the great works of the
A. and NJ. College is to learn the
farmers to better their condition, to
increase their crop yields, to have bet
ter business system on their farms
in other words to get better results
and to eliminate much of the drudgery
heretofore known. The farmers are
just waking up to this fact and to ap-
propriate to themselves the knowl-
edge impaired by this great istitu-
ton. 1t would be a calamity to Tex
as for this work to be stopped by the
adoption of Resolution IS.
