stated that until the state of Okla

tect the full blood Indians and mi
nors, the national congress in his
opinion will not relinquish control
of Indian affairs.

steps to protect these fullblood or
improvident Indians" he said, Just
so long will the United States at
large feel that the obligation rests
upon itself"
Senator ovens remarks, which
were couched very carefully, yet
plainly, followed his suggestion that
the legislature consider the matter
of laws to protect the fullblood
Indians in their homesteads, and
from clouds upon the same, and to
protect the Indian minors from eX-
travagance or fraud in the handling
of their estates under guardianships.

pay his respects to the members.

continued, much Indian land was
exempt from taxation But he did
not think it wise for fullblood In
ldians or anybody else to have large
farms OF fine land not subject to
taxation or utilized for cultivation,
and suggested a plan for the res
ervation OF part of the allotment
as a homestead to be exempt from
taxation probably and to be improved,
the remainder to be sold if the al
lottee so desired 1t would be
much better, he said, that the allot-
tee have a small farm we'll improved
and producing than to have large
areas of land unimproyed and pro-
ducing nothing for its Indian own
er.
Senator owen then suggested the
idea Of state law to protect the
fullboods in such diminished and
improved allotment or homestead so
it could not be clouded in any way,
a statute to make it an offense TO
cloud such diminished homestead.
The fullblood Indians, continued
Senator owen. would be glad to
have such diminished" homestead
protected and improved for a home
and with such a system perfected
congress undoubtedly would be more
than willing to wind up the Indian
affairs ana allow the great Indian
population of Oklahoma to merge and
take its place with the general cit
izenship.

Cummins' Claptrap

In the Senate Mr.. MARITIME of New
Jersey took Mr.. Cummins of Iowa to
task for saying in campaign speech
in New Jersey that there is no
moral difference between the man in
the White House and Huerta." Mr..
Cummins fenced by declaring that he
spoke of the office and not of Mr..
Wilson, and he went on to say that
he would just as soon have his opin-
ion everridden by armed soldiers as
by a chief executive.
Mr.. Cummins should be strong
enough to resist the strength of the
administration of Woodrow Wilson. In
fact, he has so far, as there are no
records to show that Mr.. Cummins
has supported any of the reform meas
ures advocated by the President, al
though a couple of years ago Mr..
Cummins was one of the loudest of
the republican insurgents in demand
ing tariff reduction and other legis-
lation in the interests of the people.
1t would seem that Mr.. Cummins,
like Mr.. Gronna, Mr.. Crawford, Mr..
Bristow and others, is progressive
for POLITICAL purposes only. His rant
about executive domination is the veri-
est nonsense. Should Mr.. Wilson ever
attempt to dictate the passage of
laws which the people of the country
do not want, he will find himself
shorn of that panoply of leadership
which he now wears nobly.
