The commit tee's amendment to
the Indian appropriation bill
provides lor the enrollment as
c itizens by blood ol illegitimate
offspring of Indian men and ne-
gro women. Indian Commis-
sioner Letipp is against it; and
has said that its enactment
would result in the greatest
fraud ever perpetrated upon the
live tribes. It has been said by
the advocates of this legislation
that it would add only 1,500
names to the citizenship rolls,
but it is l elieved by the op-
ponents that fraud and false
swearing would add in the ad-
dition of a far greater number of
names.
It has been estimated by them
that such legislation would cost
the Choctaw and Chickasaw
tribes $15,000,000. The men
who have been lobbying lor this
proposition, it is said, stand to
win a fee of between $2,000,000
and $3,000,000. Every negro
affected by this proposed legis-
lation would derive money and
property [to the value ot from
$10,000 to $20,000, and it is
with these prospective benefi-
ciaries that the lobby is to have
their contracts.
The Choctavvs have already
enrolled their children of Indian
women and negro freed men, but
never the children of Indian men
and negro women.
We fail to sec how any self-
respecting man could bring him-
self to support such a disrep-
utable measure. It's revolting
to decent people, not to mention
the feature oi highway robbery
connected with it.
Sayings From Commoner.
First they called it "subsidy."
Then it passed under the name
of "subvention." Subsidy and
subvention are synonyms I or
stealing.
Admiral Evans ordered Ameri-
can battleships to do rescue and
relief work at Kingston. flic
newspapers will not print wliat
Admiral Evans said when he
heard of < lovernorSwettenhain's
action.
The Smootease, tarifl revision,
the discovery <>1 the .assailant of
Billy Patterson, the component
parts of the moon are matters
that seems to be running a neck -
and-ncck race for perpetuity.
Farmers complain that thee; 1
shortage prevents them from
marketing their grain. .\ir. liar-
riinan and his colleagues are not
complaining about any inability
to market water.
Strange that 110 railroad man-
ager has defended tliecar short-
age by pointing to the fact that
increased cars for passenger ser-
vice would simply mean more
casualties.
The report of mammoth alli-
gators brought back by the con-
gressmen who visited the isth-
mus indicates that the buffet
cars and the ship's lockers were
equipped with something differ-
ent from the usual brands
Heretofore snakes only have
been seen.
Owing to increased volume of
work and increased cost of living,
railroad men have been granted
jin increase of 10 per cent in
wages. Having the power to
fix their own wages the con-
gressmen went the railroad em-
ployes 1-0 per cent better.
South McAlester is to be ad-
mired for her pluck, nerve, gall
or what ever you may term it.
When she wants anything she
goes after it with a determina-
tion to land it or bust. She
seems just as anxious to get the
permanent county seat as she is
to elect all the officers. We be-
lieve she is inclined to be "hog-
gish" about this thing, but that's
her way ol doing. She may get
the county seat but we doubt it.
If you contemplate running
for office, you had better begin
to bestir yourself. The announce-
ment won't cost any less by
waiting. The Sun will print
any number of cards at reason-
able figures. Don your fighting
clothes and get a hustle on.
Il Japan is hurting for a scrap,
why 1'ncle Sam might as well
go to work and lick her and be
done with it. She seems to be in
the attitude <>l a man with a
chip mi his shoulder on account
ol the San I' ranciscocontroversy
rtlativc to laps being excluded'
from the public schools of that
citv. We maintain that the
people ol Frisco have a perfect
right to exclude the Japs from
their schools if they see proper
to do so, and il the Japs don't
like it, paddle them and send
them home where they belong.
We always have believed that
Japanese and Chinese immigra-
tion is a menace to this country
and sooner e get rid of tile last
111.(tiler's son ol them the better
off we'll be. i 'nlike many immi-
grants, the Japs and the John
Chinaman never renounce al-
legiance to the land of their na-
tivity, to become really and
truly an integral part of the na-
tion's well 1 ici 11o; are interested
in its prosperity only to the ex-
tent of their personal gain, and
stand ever ready to take up
arms in defense ot their own
dunghill against all comers.
Thiselass of people is undesirable
and in the very nature of tilings
a standing menace to our peace
and prosperity. We ought toget
rid of them..

Campaign sheets are begin-
ning to spring up like mush-
rooms around an old barn.
When the battle is over they will
peacefully "turn their pink toes
to the dasies" and go the way
of the unworthy. As we have
remarked before enthusiasm born
of inexperience is of few days and
full of microbes.
The ground hog came out on
second, saw his shadow and im-
mediately returned, pulling the
hole in after liini. Now accord-
ing to tradition this presages
six weeks of severe winter weath-
er. If he had not seen his shadow
then he would have remained
out, because spring is here. We
are about ready to accept the
ground hog's judgment, for this
is the most protracted spell of
weather this section has ex-
perienced this winter; and five
weeks more of it would give us
good and plenty—in fact a super-
fluous redundancy. Speaking
for ourself we wish now the
ground hog had stayed in his
hole and attended to his own
business. The weather was all
right til he came out and med
died with it.
That is a good stroke of poli-
tics about the president appoint
ing a negro surveyor of the port
of Cincinnati, Foraker's home
town. That's giving the Ohio
senator a dose of his own medi-
cine. How do you like it, Mr.
Fore-acre?
Prohibition Wins Out.
Bro. Clay returned Saturday
evening from Guthrie and reports
that the convention in a commit-
tee of the whole passed the pro-
hibition provision to extend the
enabling act over the Oklahoma
part of the new state on condi-
tions that a majority vote of
the voters of both territories
decide that it shall be so ex-
tended; otherwise if the majority
is not in favor of such extension
()klahoma part of the new state
remains as it now is. The vote
stood 94 to 6 voting all the anti-
prohibition vote in the conven-
tion but 4, which on a rally lor
amendment were found to be in-
creased to 24. Many of the
anti's refusing to vote to undo
the majority's victory, among 1
whom were Mr. Asp of Guthrie, j
who refused to try to amend so j
as to kill the effect. Messrs j
Hughes and Mitch of Oklaho-
ma City voted for the prohibi-
tion clause with the amendment'
and got mad and used personal
remarks about Drs. Dinwiddie
and Sweet because it was mainly
through their efforts that this
movement was brought about,
and they had been entrapped in
a trap set lor the prohibitionist.
The final result or vote 011 the
Leahy amendment which nulli-
fied the Williams substitute with
the Rose amendment stood 24
yeas and 71 nays; making a
majority of 14 of the entire con-
vention.

of this city is practically in our hands, because of the
great advantage people secure in buying from our
stock. This is a strong statement, but it is backed
by facts. Our immense stock, spot cash quanity pur-
chases, representative goods—prices so low as to be
losing ones for a regular harness store- all these tes-
tify to our leadership. Investigate and you will find
that our stotements are not overdrawn.

THIS MAY APPLY TO YOU
It seems strange that so many people entertain the
idea that "anything will do" in the way of glasses.
1 sing improper lenses, they image they see well, or
if aware that their vision is below par, think it im-
possible for anyone to improve their sight. We have
many such people fall into our hands, who almost
imagine we have wrought a miracle by placing
glasses before their eyes that entirely restores im-
paired vision. They have failed to get such vision
before, simply because they have never had their
eyes scientifically examined or properly fitted.
Call and let us make sure that all is well.
We make no charge for testing.
We have an idea that this Jap-
anese war scare is a hatched-up
scheme of Richard Hobson and
his "big navy" advocates.
Oliice Hints.
Never send articles for publica-
tion without giving thy name,
for thy name often secures pub-1
ligation of a worthless article.
Thou shouldst not rap at the
door of a printing office, for lie
that hearcth three rap sneercth
in his sleeves and looseth time.
Thou shouldst never read the
copy on the printer's ease or
he may knock you down.
Never inquire of the editor the
news,for behold it is hisbusiness
to give it to thee at the ap-
pointed time without asking for
it.
It is not right that thou should
ask liini who is the author of an
article, for it is his duty to keep
such ' lungs to himself.
|{ When thou dost enter his of-
[I ficc, t ike heed of thyself that
jj thou dost not look at what may
concern thee not, for that is not
