liberal offer to it's contestants than
the Ardmorelte has in these trips.
Each and every contestant in the
race who will do a little hustling has
an equal chance to get one of these
trips as the conditions governing the
awarding of them are very liberal.
There is not a contestant in the entire
race but who can get enough sub-
scriptions to secure within 100000
votes of the leader and that is all that
is necessary. Every cent of the entire
trip from the time tho party leaves
Ardmore until they return will be paid
l the Ardmorelte.
The contest I near lug it's end and
from the way the new subscribers are
coming In and the number of contest-
ants who are working we expect to
see the closest finish on record. There
are over thirty-five contestants In the
race whose gross amount of money
turned in up to 8 o'clock Saturday
evening will not vary over $7.50 from
each other. This Is very unusual at
this time of a conteRt and that Is the
reason that we say the nice will be
very close.
There will be no time to lose from
now until the final vote is counted if
you wish to win one of the prizes
You will have to keep within 100000
votes of the lender on the last night
to win the trip hut It is not neces
sary to do ao to win one of the regu
lar prizes. According to the announce
ment it. will be possible for you to
win the piano or diamond ring and al
so the trip. What more chance do
you want in a fair field. We expect
to have at least ten of tho contest
ants take the trip to New York City
as that Is usually the number that
finish within the required circle so
we have found It In past contests con-
ducted by us. Hut there will lie more
here perhaps on account of this spe-
cial offer and the closeness of the
race.
If you do not wish to make the trip
we will transfer it to any one you de
sire. I)o not forget the free offer of
voted which we nro giving away on
Wednesday night and if you expect
to keei within the required amount
of votes you will have to side-track
some of these specials. You can't ex
pect to wait until the last minute and
get enough votes to win a prize. You
will have to get. busy right NOW and
keep busy until the end. What Is
worth having is worth working for.
We notice most of the people are giv
inir their coiitons to lhoo who are
not working and their subscriptions
to those who are.

select committee of the house that
investigated the Gore charges say
about the creation of this cttlzen-
rfttip court? On page 10 of the repon
the committee says;
"Immediately following the
passage of The act ratifying the
agreement of 1902 the judges
authorized to Ibe npiointed to
constitute the cltizeznship court
were appointed as follows:
Slencer Adams of t.Vorth Caro-
lina Iknry S. Foote of Cali-
fornia and Walter L. Weaver of
Ohio. Judge Foote appears to
have been aiiiicinted upon the
recommendation of Senator Stew-
art who was then chairman of
the senate committee on In-
dian affairs and Judge Adams
on the recommendation of Sena-
tor Pritchard of North Carolina.
Judge Foote was the brother-in-law
of Senator Stewart. (See
testimony on page 675.) The
law creating this court Is without
legislative parallel; th ntanner
of .Ita enactment w-as extraordi-
nary and the authority which it
conferred upon the court it cre-
ated is without precedent in
American Jurisprudence.'

mittae no man can bo so careless ol
Ms veracity as to assert that theiv
are not severa) thousand claimant
who were Improperly denied enroll-
ment and thereby denied their prop-
erty righu.
"The house committee. af;er an
elaborate investigation of this sub-
ject reached the sound conclusion
that unless the meritorious claim-
ant are taken care of and by that
I mean enrolled and given their
property rights before the tribal
property is distributed that they will
have such strong claims against the
government of the United States thot
the government must eventually pay
Ohem. The proiiositlon with which
congress ia confronted is: Shall
congress distribute the funds and
the government of the United States
pay the claims of the people or
Bhall these claims 'be paid out of the
proierty in whioh they have an un-
questioned right to share? Accord-
ingly congress has properly taken
the position or at least the house
committee has taken the position
which is concurred in by a large
number of prominent senators that
these claims must be adjusted before
these estates can be wound up.
Great credit is due Chairman Burke
of tlie house committee and Con-
gressman John H Stephens the rank-
ing Denvocratlc member of the com-
m1'.ee for the thorough Investiga-
tion just concluded and Mie compre-
hensive knowledge the committee
and congress now have of the af-
fairs of these tribes."
"Does this mean that you will
continue to insist uikmi the rights
of the mixed Indian and negro claim-
ants?" "Only to a very limited extent. I
some time ago abandoned the theory
advanced in the Bettie Ligon case
that any person of mixed Indian
and negro blood regardless of the
degree was entitled to enrollment
a& an Indian. I shall only advocate
in the future the enrollment of per-
sons of this class who are unques-
tionably Indians. This means that I
will abandon the great .majority of
this class of claimants with whom
contracts weie taken in the name of
Ballinger & Lee. J shall do this for
two reasons: First because I doubt
whether any person of this class w ho
was not a recognized niem'ber of
the tribe has a legal or equitable
right to share in these estates; and
second because the persistent urging
of this class of cases would be preju-
dicial to success in seeming the
rights of that class of cases about
which there i no Question. There
is another and probably stronger
reason which actuates me in taking
this position and that Is that all
of this class of mixed Indians and
negroes have received an allotment
of forty aeies of land have a home
and some place to live out of which
they can make a living while the
other class the admittted citizens of
the tribes and either full-blood In-
dians or persons of mixed Indian
and white blood have been denied
any recognition or any right to
share in the estate to any extent
whatsoever. They have been lert
practically destitute and their claims
are certainly much stronger and
more deserving of consideration than
the claims of the mixed Indians and
negroes."

Conspiracy Would Be Necessary
"Many people without tfiinking about the matter' believe that
electricity is wrongfully charged to them" says a circular recently
issued by a large manufacturer. "This is a mistake. Electric com-
panies even if they wanted to could not afford to do so. Manu-
facturers of electric meters do not issue incorrect meters. The
workmen who prove the meters are sworn to let no meter pass If
not correct."
"What would an electric company have to do to put out meters
which register fast?"
"They would have to take the meters apart in the first place.
This would mean that orders would have to come from headquarters
down through the line of officers superintendents clerks etc. to
the workmen in the shops. This would involve a big conspiracy as
secrecy would of course be essential."
"Look at the array of people who would know about it. The
Company could not discharge one of them for fear of being told
upon in other words would be open to blackmail from each and
every employe and for all time. Also wby should employes of the
company do a wrong? They are paid but salaries and wages such
as are paid in other occupations for the same amount of skill.
Even if meters register fast the employe would not benefit by it.
The majority of people in the world are honest. Even dishonest
people as a rule are honest unless tbey have something to gain
by dishonesty.
