Indian Land Laws.
Compiled by Wm. R. Harper.
The restriction bill has been
carefully analyzed by lawyers
and business men of the five
civilized tribes and it has been
unanimously pronounced the
most intelligent piece of legisla-
tion that has ever been enact-
ed for the Indians and whites.
This is because it is so drawn
it gives the relief desired with-
out surrounding it with per-
plexing and conflicting restric-
tions.
It not only removes restric-
tions entirely from ten million
acres of land, but makes it
possible for any Indian fuH
blood, or not, to sell his land^ "
It puts the Indian into tw^
classes, the restricted and the
unrestricted. The unrestrict-*
ed ones are free to do as they
please with their land. The
restricted ones may sell with
the approval of the secretary.
The Indian roll that is in the
oftice of the commission is con
elusive proof of the Indian's
status. I: is made final'proof
of the Indian's age, his quan-
tum of Indian blood, and the
description of the land that is
his. '1 here is no appeal from
this.
On July 27 no more appli-
cations for removal of restric-
tions will be received from
mixed bloods. After that time
applications will be received

the hands of the secretary of | five years I give you this :
smoking impairs health, less-
ens uselulness and jeopardises
happiness, and all withput com-
pensation worthy of the name.
All smokers are not affected to
the same degree, but there/is
none who would not be better
off without the habit.
You can't hide a dishonest
dollar. You take a dishonest
dollar and bury it clepr down
in the deepest part of the earth,
it will not stay there. You
may roll on it rocks and moun-
tain boulders; you ipay at-
tempt to put that dishonest
dollar in the center of the earth;
it will not stay there. It will
begin to rock and heave and
upturn itself, until it comes to
the resurrection of damnation.

from fullbloods and other re-
stricted Indians. Any restrict-
ed Indian is allowed to lease
his land for a period of five
years for any purpose; except
oil and mineral, without the
approval of the secretary of
the interior. Any Indian cai^
go to the Indian roll and ascer-
tain whether he is in the re-
stricted class or not.
The new law takes out of
interior the jurisdiction of oil
rid gas leases on all lands not'
owned by Indians whose re-
strictions have been, removed.
The question of a person at-
taining legal status by marry-
ing before becoming of age,
and of having the disabilities
of minority removed by order
of court is definitely determin-
ed, the law stating that the
legal age shall be twenty-one
and eighteen. And the Indi-
an roll is final proof of the age.
All dead claims are made
saleable and taxable when the
Indian allottee dies with the
single exception that wher^a
restricted Indian dies and
leaves a child that was born
too late to 'get arT allotment,
the homestead of the deceased
goes to such child during its
life time.

Cigarette Smpker.
Elbert Hubbard isn't the
best authority on all sub-
jects, but he is unquestionably
correct in pronouncing against
the use of cigarettes, especi-
ally by the young In a num-
ber of the Philistine he says:
"As a close observer ancl em-

Never advance the pay of a
cigarette smoker; never pro-
mote him; neve* trust him to
carry a roll to Garcia, unless
you do not care for Garcia and
are willing to lose the rolL
Cigarette smoking begins with
an effort to be smart. It soon
becomes a pleasure, a satisfac-
tion and serves to bridge over
a moment of nervousness or
embarrassment. Next it be-
comes a necessity of a fixed
habit. This last stage soon
evolves into a third condition,
as age of fever and unrestful,
wandering mind, accompanied
by loss of moral and mental
control." Inevitably cigarette
