THUIU'DAY MARCH 12 1908
INDIANS NOT ANXIOUS.
W hile no harm could come from Ihe
printing of court derisions in the In
diaji language . yet there is no ur al
demand for Ihe plan, and certuinly
need not become Imperative.
The statement emanating from a
rather humorous Civ k to a reporter
for a very yellow publication, that the
100,000 Indians of the state were ill
IgiU'iance of the fact tin* legislature is

is sitting, is worth.\ of reproduction
only for the fact the reporter is an easy
one. , ♦

and loremost in the debates, it seems
that any person with ordlnar.\ observ
Ing powers would iimlerstand the In
dian is keeping pretty close tab on
legislative affairs.
When a lobby id' fullblood Indians of
Old Oklahoma lobbied here for days,
some of them requiring interpreters,
it did not look like the fullbioods were
unconscious of the action, on even pro-
posed action of the state legislators.
All of the rot about Indians roving
in the wilds" down in Central Okla-
homa is worthy of space enough to r>
late that the man originating the r -port
Is a monumental liar -and no more.
There are so many men in the world
who want to do something new and
start a row over nothing that they be-
come tiresome.
\Yh n the agitators ascertain that
the Indian Is the wealthy, educated and
progressive spirit of many of the best
cities and towns iu the eastern section
of the state; possessed of sufficient, abi-
lity to conduct Ills own affairs, and pa-
triotic enough to aid others, then we
will have Mine to talk more about sub-
jects invented bv the man with a
stronger imagination than he has love
of truth.
In the event of the languages of the
Indians being used to print our laws, it
might be well to have Senator l.and-
ruin, a linguist to translate tlieni for
the fool reporter who made Ihe st.or>
of laek of knowledge I)', the Indian,
and the work would give the reporter
an opportunity to ascertain there are
more Indian in the schools of tic
stale than tnere are running wild in
the bottom lands
It would make no particular differ
rnce how much I hit nonsense and
brain padded literature be printed in
Eat-tern Oklahoma, but il ' • criminal
to wire it tn the metropolitan press of
the Ca stern eitic . where many pen
pie fear Ihe Indians ,n Mug in wait
to ainbn: ti the : • • 111• r between Okla

And more of il ought to be sufficient
to make the author anxious to face a
jury inquiring as to his sanity.

MURDER BY OFFICIALS.
Tile Wichita Iteacoii asserts that the
stories coming from Illinois us to the
loss of life by cruelty ami divers other
ways iu the state asylums are not
wholly, and likely none of them true.
The Beacon was right in asserting
that It is almost Impossible to believe
that the employees of the state Instilu

Illinois placed her eleemosynary in-
stitutions under tile rare ol some
cranks who posed as reformers. They
went forth to cure insanity by pouring
watei on the helpless, and the
money appropriated by purchasing |y j,.,

tees and managers were the ones win
should be in the asjrluin.
They claim the reason they have
to put up with brutal guards who use
clubs to herd the unfortunates is be
cause the legislature did not appropri
