THE CHOOTAWS

About 800 Choctaws were in
town Saturday to meet the con-
gressional committee to have
come here to investigate the con-
dition of the Ohoctaws in this
state.
The committee failed to come
here on account of the impend-
ing railroad strike and returned
to Jackson after the meeting
held at Union on Friday. About
$50 Choctaws met the committee
at Union and as the condition
of these people was thoroughly
gone into there, we feel sure the
committee has obtained sufficient
information to do justice by
this race at the next session of
Congress.
| The personal of the com mittee
that came as far as Union was ::
o. B. Carter of Okla. chair
man. Mcssrs. Carl Hayden,
Ariz; Pat Norton, N. Dakota ):
Harry Candy. S. Dakota; Frank
Ellsworth, Minnesota; John N
Tillman, Arkansas; w. w. Has
tings, Oklahoma; Paul Humph-
rey of Nebraska clerk.
Congressman Venable of Me.
ridian accompanied the COM
mittee to Union and came ON up
here Saturday. About 300 Choc-
taws were here on that day to
meet the committee.
Mr.. Venable addressed the
indians in the courthouse, ex-
planning to them why the full
committee had to turn back on
account of it being necess ary to
cross the Mississippi river be-
fore.the railroad strike was ca
lied Saturday. He also told the
indians of his efforts in congress
to help them and it was through
the efforts of the congressman
from this state this committee is
now visiting these indians.
His plan as told the indians
was to help them in material
way, to see that they had good
schools established, educate them,
learn them how to farm, how to
have good homes, in short to
make them good Ameri can citi-
zens as possible.
Judge Venable assured the
choctaws he was their friend and
was goin g to do everything in
his power to help them. He.
felt re the committee that saw
the Choctaws at Union fully
grasped the situation and he
would have their help in the
succeeding congresses for any
measure introduced for the ben
eft of these indians.
Heretofore the Indian Affairs
committee in Congress has given
little comfort to any indians out
side the reservations and it is
believed the first step for relief
has been taken in getting this
committee to come among this
people and see for themselves.
They are as deserving and should
be the wards of the government
as much SO as those of the r eser.
vations.
Before Mr.. Venable made his
talk Saturday the choctaws were
addre ssed by P. T. Chitto, a full
blood choctaw of Leake. Gas he
made his address in their langu.

Who Il TO Blame?

There is an impression abroad in
the state that a movement is on foot
favorable to lax enforcement in the
city OF. Richmond CT the laws of Viz
ginia concerning the prohibition Of
the liquor traffic and of the social
evil. 1t Is 10 be hoped that there is
no such movement on foot, or If there
IS such movement, that 1t will die
in its infancy.
The law of Virginia provides that
when officers of the law fail to en-
force the law against prohibition or
the social evil, that "ouster" proceed
ings shall be instituted for the re-
noval of said officers, and If il shall
become evident that the law Is not
being enforced in the city of Rich
mond, or in any city or county in the
state, the officers Of the law in that
city or county may rest assured that
custer" proceedings Will be insti-
tuted against all officers who have
