PROSPECTS FOR INDIANS

The subcommittee or congress mas
declined to report fayorably Dill
to enroll Mississippi Choctaw Indians
still residing in Mississippi. This
means that congress will not have an
opportunity at least during this ses-
sion to pass upon the rights claimed
by those people to share in the lands
and in the moneys with the ChoctaW
Indians of oklahoma.
This question last year prohibited
the Choctaw Indians from receiving
an annual payment from funds due
the Indians by the government and
il should mean that the bill already
pendincs this year should pass, giving
the Choctaws a payment of 5000 and
the Chickasaws payment of SloO.
The Chickasaws received last year a
payment of 500 while the Choctaws
received nothing.
Those who are behind the Missis-
slppi deal do not claim they have any
legal rights. They will probably not
20 into the courts to establish any
right in this country They claim that
theirs is a moral right and their only
hope was to secure congressional leg
islation giving those Indians a share
in the Choctaw estate Those Indians
had their day in court the govern
ment has not been a respector of per
sons. it has given to all the same
rights who took advantage Of the
rights offered. and to permit those
Indians now to come in and share in
the estate. il seems. would be rank
injustice The subcommittee is to be
congratulated that it did not allow a
little sentiment TO control its action.
There has always been too much sen
timent in dealing with the Indian. He
should be given more freedom and be
made to understand that he is respon-
siblo for the manner in which he han
dies his estate. II this were done. he
would become more self-reliant and
would be a better citizen

OPEN FIGHT Of
MISSISSIPPI
CH0CTAWS
SEEK TO PREVENT PER CAPITA
PAYMENTS TO OKLAHOMA IN
DlANS - SEVERAL APPROPRI-
ATlONS KNOCKED OUT.

Washington. Jan. 9.-Members Of
the house of representatives from
Mississippi opened their annual fight
in behalf OF the Choctaw Indians of
that state when they sought by
amendments to the Indian appropri
alton bill to prevent a per capita
payment to the Choctaws of Okla
homa until the rights of the Missis
sippi contingent of the tribe is es-
tablished by congress. The proposal
to submit the controversy to the
court of claims went out on a point
Of order, and there is pending an
other amendment to hold up the pro-
posed per capita payment Of 5000.
Charges made by Miss Kate Bar
nard of Oklahoma City, the retiring
commissioner of charities and cor
rections, that the last Oklahoma leg
islature crippled her office by with
holding appropriations and charac-
terizirg it as the last stand OF
the CRATER to loot the Oklahoma
Indian" were brought out in the de-
bate as having pertinent bearing on
the per capita payment.
Members of the Oklahoma delega-
tion pointed out that the county
judges and attorneys Of eastern Ok
lahoma had adopted rules to safe
guard the minors estates. and that
the rules had been adopted by the
supreme court of the United States.
One of the hardest blows sustained
by the Oklahoma delegation was
when the $275,OOO appropriation for
public schools of eastern Oklahoma
went out on point of order. The
appropriation has been made for sew
eral years to compensate the state
/ for loss of taxable values for the
/ tax rolls on account of Indian trea-
/ ties amounting to S17000,00O, at a
I low calculation. 1t was argued that
/ the federal government ought to pay
/ the taxes on the Indian lands a
/ state rates.
The proposed dormitories at the
Murray agricultural school and the
state normal school at Durant, $50.
600 each. to give accommodation tC
members of the Choctaw and Chick
asaw tribes attending the schools
also went out on a point of order
An unsuccessful effort was made tt

bate attorneys.

A SQUARE DEAL ASKED.

That there will be some good road
legislation goes without saying, and
The Ardmoreite trusts-and really
belieyes-that il will be such as will
deserve the support of the people Of
the entire state.
Oklahoma has suffered from the
disssipation of its road and bridge
funds more than any state in the un-
ion. On account of lack of proper
legislation. bridge companies and ma
terial men have been able to foist
upon the several counties inferior and
almost worthless stuff.
If our present legislature will give
every county an efficient highway
superintendent or engineer, acting in
cooperation with the state highway
department, and give the state high
way department the authority to see
that standards are maintained, mill
ions of dollars will be wisely and
properly spent on good roads in the
next few years.
There is no reason the head OF the
state highway department being an
engineer. An executive only is SUI
ficicnt. who shall employ such en-
cineering assistance as is necessary.
1t is in the states where this plan
is followed where the most efficient
road work has been accomplished
and where the most helpful and stim-
ulating promotion Of The cause has
taken place.
Two years ago the legislature made
no secret Of its personal feeling IN
this matter. and did not hesitate t'
direct it, most caustic utterance'
against individuals, whose ONLY
crimes seemed to be that they Wer'
appointees of Governor Cruca. This
feature is now eliminated, the com
plexion of the legislature is decided!

We are not isolated units In this uni:
verse Of ours. We are all of us mem
bers Of q great world community. All
Of us are so constituted that our well
fare and our happiness depend on the
maintenance Of good will with others.
To a great extent, however, we al
ways have it In our power to deter
mine just what the attitude of others
toward us shall be.
We have this power by virtue Of the
fact that the human mind tends to be
swayed in its critical judgments by the
character Of the emotional moods ex.
perienced. People usually think exact.

possess them in our favor. ;: i. -

SIGNATURES and Signs.

Walter Cranes signature-a crane
impaled on W-reminds us that other
English artists have adopted queer
"beasties'' to form their signature.
There was Richard Doyle, for instance,
who among his friends and in his sig
nature pretended only to be "Dicky," "
for you will find in the corner Of many
Of his Punch drawings ID" with a
very perky looking bird standing there
on. But Whistler's was the most IA
nous, though somewhat incongruous.
His sign manual often took the shape
Of butterfly, though wasp would
have expressed him better, for he was
not only an artist, but the author Of

velopes from Professor Blackie with

Perfect Pitch.

A fairly large number Of people are
gifted with good ear for music, and
their friends think it quite wonderful
that they are able to play or whistle
tunes which they have heard only once.
But this gift, however remarkable it
may seem, is by no means extraordi-
nary or exceptional, especially when
compared with the possession of what
is called an lear Of absolute pitch"
This means that the person possessing
it is able to stand away from the piano
and tell you what note you are playing
or in what key. One well known lady
pianist is able to read over the score of
a piece of music In the train or omni-
bus, leave the book behind her and yet
play the whole piece through by men,
ory when she reaches home.
Perfect pitch is a gift to some peo-
pie, but it can be acquired. Indeed,
many authorities say that to be a real
ly great musician this power must be
possessed.-London Answers.

BY GEORGE R. HOLMS.

Pretty races for batting honors i'll
three leagues are being run this sea-
son. No one player has been able to
get to the top of the heap and stay
there consistently, always excepting
of course, the effervescent Cobb who
would feel lost in any position than
the topmost pinnacle.
In the National league, Jake Dau-
bert of the Dodgers, Fred Luderus
of the Phillies, Fred Merkle and
Larry Doyle of the Giants, are all
battling for the leadership on COM
paratively even terms. The positions
have been changing each week, but
Daubert has generally managed to
stay out in front by few points.
Strange to say, Chicago, which has
been leading the league in club bat
ting, hasn't man that is battling
among the real top-nOtchers. Vic
Safer has been leading his mates,
but his average generally has ranged
around 300, or slightly above. On
the other hand, New York has been
hitting fairly consistently as a club,
standing second in the recent aver
ages, and has been in the second divi-
sion almost all season.
The race isn't so hot in the Amer
ican league now as it was. Mr.
Cobb, after looking over the field, de-
cided that he would show the bunch
some real speed and Immediately
started climbing to and above 400
around which he has hung consistent
ly. Joe Jackson, Cobb's annual
rival, Monsieur Jacques Fournier, the
seasons slugging sensation, and or
Sam Crawford, whom the experts
have had slipping for the last 10
years, have been battling closely for
secondary honors. Whether the
pitching in the Johnson loop is Off
color this season, or the boys are
hitting harder, the fact remains there
are more than the usual number of
800. clouters.
The Feds have been offering a
unique race three men on the same
club have been leading the league
all season, or rather, they were, un-
til the Brookfeds disposed Of Steve
Evans to Baltimore a short time ago.
Manager Lee MaGee, Bennie Kauff
and Evans were the three best
in the Gilmore circuit long time,
and MaGee and Kauff continue to set
the pace. Evans has fallen badly
since he left Brooklyn. The critics
can hardly sneer at the Federal
pitching this season, for there are not
as many 5000 hitters in the league
as in the American, or there weren't
up to few days ago.

A Land Without Flies.

1t should be refreshing and a bit en-
couraging to the fatigued, hopeless fly
fighters to know that there is in the
world a country in which there are mo
flies. The place is the British West
Indies. This interesting fact-that
there are no flies in British West In
dles-starts up number of questions
and curious conjectures. Why is:rit
that they have no flies? Is it that
they have lost the seed, or is it that
they have some active parasite or an
imal that feeds on flies, like the South
American ant eater, for instance? Ger
tainly it is not that they have no
filth. They have heat and moisture,
and, If rumor has it true, they have all
the filth that Is necessary. That these
three conditions can exist without any
flies is what we do not understands
