Democratic PreSSW Wants SAnOtherLaw
Quite Similar to the Grandfather
Law, Recently Knocked Out in Court

Since the United States supreme
court decision, declaring the grand
father clause unconstitutional, the
white press from Louisiana to New
York has had much to say about II.
some Of the papers had from two TO
three-column editorials, and even as
yet editorial comments are evident,
although it was nothing more than a
righttul and righteous decision.
In the states affected by the de
cislon our governors and other
higher-up officials are being asked
cCitorially and otherwise: What are
you going 10 do about it? And some
Of our higher-up officials including
even our own Governor Williams of
Oklahoma, are breathing out threaten
ings or in other words chewing the
rag generally; the consensus Of their
opinion being that they want another
law just like the one recently knocked
out
Well they can think until the fer
tility of the gray matter in their
craniums is so exhausted that the
hairs will leave their heads for want
of support; and still their thoughts
Will have been in balm, for the reason
that substance of the recent decision
is that all suffrage laws that do not
affect the negro and white voter alike
are unconstitutional.

Oklahoma ought to take off his spurs
and ride easy, because he it remem-

decision, he is only in the saddle he

Opponet. 1t would be a very easy
matter for his Republican opponent
To 20 into court and prove that he
was deprived of more than enough
votes through the Vaccinations of the
grandfather clause to have elected
him, and If he should be aroused from
his apathy he may yet take steps that

pointmcnt of superintendent of
agency who is to manage their af-
fairs in part, without their knowl-
edge or consent; the forcing of the
June resolution down the thrOatS of
the council without explanation there
have been little petty insignificant
things coming up from day to day
which have rasped the feelings of
the Indians and caused them to har-
bOr a bitter resentment against the
department Of the interior and
everybody connected with it, There
was the repeated insnuation that
the Indian did not possess strength
Of character sufficient to cause him
to refuse a bribe, coupled with the
statement that Indians had been i'm
memorially corrupt There was the
statement that if the Indians were
told of the proceedings at the secret
caucus in Washington they would
Immediately inform interested par
ties at home and thus Illustrate the
plans Of the department. There was
the story that the Indians were al
ways in a condition of maudlin
drunkenness and if they were not
Intentionally and dcsignedly corrupt
they were easily influenced when
under the spell of liquor Then
there was the stoppage of the stomp
dance when all OF the guests were
on the ground in fun regalia. Then
there was the delay in making the
quarterly payment and the manifestly
bogus excuse. Then there was the
conference held on last Tuesday
without notification to the Indians
other than through a subordinate Of
the department instead of officially
to the officers of the tribe by the
responsible officers of the govern
ment Then there was the notice
that before wells could be pulled the
government agency must be notified
although the leases are on lands of
the tribe and are approved by the
tribe. These may perhaps be con
sidered mere trifles by the ordinary
reader, but the Indian is a proud and
withal sensitive individual and when
his pride has been hurt he is quick
to resentment and slow to forget
fulness if indeed it is possible for him
to forget In the present instance
he does not want to forget even if
he could. He is just going to cher
ish all of his animOsity and feed his
venom till the time comes to strike
and then he will deliver the finish
ing blow Just as he did with Mr..
who swore that never, no
never as long as he was in office
would the Foster lease or any por-
tion of it be renewed The Indians
went to congress with their troubles
with the result that the Foster lease
was renewed as to 6SO,OOO acres and

Booth was identified on all sides as
he stood brandishing his dagger at

box where he had fired the fatal shot
.ibout ten days later Booth was traced
with an accomplice, to the barn of a
lonely farmhouse on the Virginia side
OF the Potomac river. There a SER
geant of the capturing squad of union
soldiers shot him down for refusing
to come forth and surrender. Herold
however, gave himself up, and all but
one of the Booths fellow -cOnspirators
were speedily arrested and tried by a
military commission, which met at
Washington. in the Arsenal building,
during the months of May and June.
Payne, Herold, Atzerodt and Mrs.
Surratt were hanged, while others,
more remotely connected with the
plot, were sentenced TO life imprison-

How terrible the corresponding cost
