Federal Judge Campbell against the
Government in the 30,000 Indian
land cases in Oklahoma. The At-
torney General has not vet received
the text of the decision and the only-
official information the department
has is the United States Attorney’s
telegram announcing that Judge
f’amphell had decided against the
Government on every important
point. Prominent Oklahoma attor-
neys in Washington who are inter-
ested in the future course of the
Government in the ease say that the
department officials are very much
at sea as to what course is to be pur
sued. At the Department of the In-
terior, a copy of Judge Campbell’s
decision was received this afternoon
and the opinion was ventured that
in view of fhe broad position taken
by Judge Campbell as to the citizen-
ship status of t he Indian, the opinion
will not be permitted to sta.id unre-
viewed by the higher courts. —Dallas

foreign insurance companies to ap

their agent, upon whom service,
could be had in the event of u law I
suit.
Previous to this time foreign eom- '
panics could come into Oklahoma,
soli it insurance and with impunity
deny the payment of losses and defy
the insured because then- was no
way by which suit could be brought
to compel the payment of loss**..
Reputable foreign companies h.ix*
complied with this provision, but
there are a few companies of th*
wild-cat variety who seek to evade
the law and prey upon innocent peo-
ple by soliciting insurance upon
which they have no intention of ever
paving in ease of loss.
T. J. Mct’otnb, insurance conirniss
ioner, who has .lone so much to
place all kinds of insurance in
Oklahoma upon a substantial basis,
lesires to warn the people against
accepting insurance in any unautbor
ized company. He says that very
few of these unauthorized companies
fend agents into the state iiecau-*
they are liable to arrest and |Tose-
cution but that most of them operate,
through the mails. Every authorized
agent, and there are over twelve
hundred, is provided with a certifi-
cate front the insurance commission-
er which shows the company and the
kind of insurance that it is author
ized to do. Persons paying tor in
surance should see that the agent
ami his company are duly authorized
and provided with a certificate.

\oung. State Hank Commissioner,
has steadily refused to allow Nation-
al Banks charters for establishing
State Hanks as feeders. It appears
as if the Guthrie National bus he, n
able to circumvent this decision of
Mr. Young. About January the first
they made application to Mr Young
for a State Hank charter and were
promptly refused. I ater, they res-
urrected an old territorial bank
charter and asked for n 825,000 re
nexval. Again Mr. Young refused
them. They then took the cane to
the attorney general for an opinion.
The attorney general held that in-
as-mucb as the bank had always held
cash and other asset* under fhe old
charter tha they were entitled to a
renewal. Mr. Young compelled them
however, to take out a $f*o.noo char
ter instead of 825,000.

Now John Diller f’onrath, we hate
to ’ call you down” The Enterprise
Editor insists that he wasn’t "mixe*
up in th** statements in his prev-
ious article Could it he that John D.
was "off his perch?” If Hr.., John
D. will stop a few minuets to reflect
he will no doubt remember making
such a statement before witnesses in
our office during a recent visit here.
As to our ability to distinguish
right from wrong past the dollar
mark, while we may not be *o wise]
as John II. still we have a sense of I
honor and honesty which we place
as high or higher than the principals j
of any Law and Order League,
Kiefer’s not excepted.
We believe in doing business on-
business principals and refrain as
■nuchas possible from letting our
religion, business and politics mix,
nine times out of ten they won’t
mean success and that is the goal for
which we are striving.
Last Saturday morning a dog be-
longing to Mr. Waddell, who lives

raped from its home after biting a
bird dog pup belonging to Geo.

(gain until Sunday night at about H
" dock when it was discovered fight-
ing a dog belonging to Geo. Benegar.
Mr. Benegar Immediately shot the
I dog but there is much uneasiness in
j (hat neighborhood for fear that the
] road dog has bitten other animals.
It behooves our people to be on
their guard from this time on during
