SUSPENDS ODDER
RELIGIOUS GARB AT INDIAN
8CHQ0L8 NOT PROHIBITED
ORDERS HEARING IN CASE
PRESIDENT TAFT HOLDS UP VAL-
' ENTINE MANDATE 4
Declaring Federal Agreement Recog-
nliee Odd Conditions President
- Suepende Order Until Question
Can Be Entered Into Fully
’ Washington— President “Taft has
suspended Commissioner of Indian Af-
fairs Valentine’s recent order which
prohibited the wearing of distinctive
religious insignia and religious garb at
school exercises in the Indian schools
In a letter to Secretary of the Interior
Fisher which was immediately for-
warded'to the commissioner the pres-
ident ordered Mr Valentine’s action
held up until a hearing could be given
to all Interested parties "and a coq-
elusion reached in respect to the mat-
ter fully considered"
The president said the question was
Sf great Importance and delicacy" as
-to which the commissioner had not
consulted either with Secretary Fisher
or himself The president said:
"I fully believe in the principle of
the separation of the church and the
state on which our government is
based but the questions presented
by this order are of great importance
and delicacy
"They arise out of the fact that the
government has for a considerable
period taken over for the use of the
Indians certain schools heretofore be-
longing and conducted by distinctive
religious societies or churches As a
part of the arrangements then made
the schools employes who were in
certain cases members of the religious
orders wearing the distinctive garb
of these orders were continued as
teachers by the government and by
ruling of the civil service commission
or by executive action they have been
included' in the classified service un-
der the protection of the civil ser-
vice "The commissioner’s order almost
necessarily amounts to a discharge
from the federaKservice of those who
have thus entered it This should not
be done without careful consideration
of all phases of the matter or without
giving the persons directly affected
an opportunity to be heard"
Catholic interests made vigorous
complaint against Mr Valentine’s or-
der which directed that those who
could not conscientiously comply with
the order to make arrangements else-
where than in the Indian schools

Willing to Co-operate With Counties
in any Feasible Plan and Would
Aaalst In Beautifying Coun-
try Along Its Lines
Oklahoma City — A statement just
Issued from the general offices of the
Santa Fe Indicates that those Okla-
homa counties situated along its lines
that are going to further the good
roads movement this summer will get
assistance form that road The state-
ment says: '
“The Atchison Topeka and Santa
Fe Railroad company will co-operate
with good roads associations In any
feasible plan for the improvement of
the highways in the territory through
which its lines are operated The
Santa Fe always has been ready to
respond to every organized movement
for good roads because good roads
are next to good crops In the railroad
man’s calculation
“Good roads mean better and 'bigger
crops for the farmer who hauls his
products to market over them has
more time to devote to his crops than
he would have If the roads were bad
The bigger the crops theheavler the
railroad traffic Transportation being
all the railroad has to sell the Santa
Fe looks with favor upon any move-
ment that tends to increase traffic as
a business proposition pure and sim-
ple The Santa Fe therefore Is
friendly to the good roads movement
viewing the situation from the stand-
point of the dollar
“But there is another viewpoint
from - which the Santa Fe sees the
cade The system of railroad owned
by the Santa Fe operates In twelve
states embracing a great empire from
the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mex-
ico on the south and the Pacific ocean'
on the west It Is an agricultural ter-
ritory generally most of the states
being in the couse of development
The Santa Fe is for anything that
builds up and beautifies the lands
traversed by Its lines and no commun-
ity can turn out a better advertise-
ment of its progressiveness and civic
pride than a system of good roads
“A good road in front of a farm
means good fences well cultivated
fields high grade stock nice house
and barn orchard etc These things
go together Good roads everywhere
means good farms everywhere and
that spells increased prosperity and
happiness for the farmre and his fam-
ily and increased prosperity for the
country at large” ‘
Many Oklahoma counties have al-
ready announced good road extension
programs for 1912 and this help from
the roads is encouraging

EX-GOVERNOR HASKELL
IN RECEPTIVE ATTITUDE
Hears Call of Woodward County Dem-
ocracy Answers 8amn De-
fining His Position
Oklahoma City— Ex-Governor Chas
N Haskell gave to the presB January
31 his answer to the resolution passed
by the democratic county convention
of Woodward county which by reso-
lution (after reciting Mr Haskell’s
work in the constitutional convention
and as the first governor of the state)
commended him to the democracy of
the state for United States senator
In his answer the ex-governor ex-
presses his appreciation of the loyalty
of the Woodward county democracy
but says he “would not be Justified In
treating the call of one county as war-
ranting a conclusion on such an im-
portant question except as it comes
as a suggestion from the organized
body of democracy following several
thousand personal letters from all
parts of the state” He then calls at-
tention to the fact that a public offi-
cer who serves the people with vigor
and good faith is subject to constant
opposition and humiliation that greed
stops at no point short of complete
submission and the public officer who
refuses this submission is made the
target for vicious assaults of slander
and vllllficatlon
Mr Haskell says that if it should
ever be his distinction to serve the
people in' congress he would be found
among those who are fighting earn-
estly and honestly for the direct elec-
tion of United States senators for
a revision of the tariff downward
against the waste of money In trying
to civilize an uninhabitable country
and for the use of such money in
Improving condition In the states He
believes there are too many Inferior
federal courts and too much interfer-
ing on their part with the rights of
Btates to legislate as to local affairs
and would be In favor of restricting
the duties of such courts
He declares that Oklahoma is the
home of progressive Ideas that he Is
proud of its record and that if he
should be chosen for the office for
which the county democracy of Wood-
ward has commended him be would
after completion of service In such
capacity wish for no greater compli-
ment than to have the common peo-
ple say of It: "Well done good and
faithful servant” Emphasizing the
statement that Jeffersonian democ-
racy was good enough for him the
ex-governor says he shall await the
wishes of those among whom he has
lived for ten years and who know him
as a public servant and as a private
citizen
