SUPPORT ROOSEVELT
PLAN IS UNSUCCESSFUL
Muskogee, I. T., May 19—
Notwitbatanding the strenuous
efforts of the federal authorities
to suppress tba liquor traffic,
.'Jtoetlegging in the Indian TerrN
tory seems to be on the increase
rather than on tho decrease.
^ 'Bud ' Ledbetter, whose life has
been spent as a deputy marshal
in the Indian Territory and who
for two years bas been specially
deputised to suppress bootleg-
ging in the western district, says
kit seems an impossibility. He
has a plan which he sera is the
only one that will ever atop ship-
ping liquor into the Indian Ter-
ritory. It is to appoint special
inspectors to examine every ex-
press car and all shipments that
v-ome into the Indian Territory
trom points where liquor is sold.
Oklahoma City, May 19. J. O.
Houck, charged with forgery,
preferred by an Oklahoma Citv
bank, has been held to await the
action of the grand jury under a
bond of $1,000. Houck was cap-
tured in Boston a few weeks ago
thiough the efforts of the Amer-
ican Bankers association, and
Sheriff Garrison went to the
eastern city and brought Houck
back. The forgery is said to
have been committed last sum-
mer, and the bankers'association
has been in dilligent search of
the man ever since.
ROOSEVELT PAID
FARE.
HIS
Washington, May 17.—It is
figured out bere that the Presi-
dent's recent trip to the West
cost about $3,000. The report
at the White house is that the
President has already paid the
bill an-d that he does not propose
to accept any privileg« from a
railroad dating his term of office.
It s asserted that President
McKinley made many notable
tripa, and the railroad and Pull-
man company officials never sub-
mitted a bill or even thought of
presenting one. They were Klad
to oblige the President of the
nation. Further than that was
the fact that bis trips induced
inaicb travel over tbear lines and
was profitable to them. Excur-
sion trains are run to all cities
where the President stops and
the railroads make rnoney there-
by.

A crisis has airived in the his-
tory of this great nation. Our
president take. ,k. stand for
government supervision of rail-
road, a, one of th> aS#o]uU
° s of lhl# country to free us
from a power that has become
most dangerous to our national
tt . . I opP°sit,°n to this the
United States Senate are practi-
cally a unit and favor of the
railroads that secured most of
them their positions. On the
P 01 rights they de-
nounced the administration to
take control of property out of the
hands of its owners and place-it
'1 the hands of men who are
inclined to consider the rights of
. PeoP'« whom they should
justly serve.
Throughout the west the prcs-
ident can depend on the support
of all true Americans and party
lines will even melt away to
make that support almost unani-
mous. The new alignment that
must materiali.e in consequence
of the line* drawn has come.

property rights are to continue

representing the maases must
<!"•. In the history of nations
there always comes a time when
property rights clash with tho*e
of humanity. The civil war was
one of th«se periods and the cause
of humanity prevailed. Two
billions «f alave property in the
interest of humanity was swept
aside and it becomes necessary
two biUions of railroad property
will jfe the same road in the in-
terest of the people along with
the assumed rights of an eyual
amount in oil fields and .coal
lands.
If this is country of the
people and for the people" then
it becomes our duty to prevent a
few, bv evasion of all law and by
schemes that would almost put
hardened criminals to ahame, so
well portrayed by Lawson, from
josaessmg themselves of all the
means of production aad distribu-
tion upon this continent and
upon which our very livea dc.
pend.
Public sentiment is acknowl-
edged as all powerful as long as
the people govern. It should
come up from the masses of read-
ers and thinkers and not down
(top, a few brilliant minder the
power of those talents has been
purchased at a price. In « *hort
time we will witness the
metropolitan press lining up
with the senate as against the
president in an attempt *to,bias
public opinioj. Patriotism will
fina+fy rise supreme and sufficient
forevery emergency as it did in
the sixties. After an alignment!
is complete the struggle will
begin in earnest. The people
will haye great leaders like Bry-
an and Kosevelt who will be su®-
cient for any emergency. Eter-
nal violence invites the issue.
Let the struggle begin.—Garber
Sentinel.
