THE INDIAN PROBLEM.
Indian C'omml-Moner Ltttpp Is man
iffth right when he declares tho
Indian- have arrived at that stage
of chlllzutlon where they i-hould bo
compelled to work or suffer. And
congress should connect with this
Idea In ronslderlng conditions In
Oklahoma. Every Indian In Okla
homa has been allotted a homestead
caiiable of sustaining him If he will
bin work and congress should not
prohibit the nle of lands In ex
cess of the homestead for that will
retard the progress of the new state.
If tho Inallenatlon of the excess
lands continue the fullblood In-
dians will never work but will rely
upon their white tenants or sup-
rt. The Indians ought to be thrown
nimn their own resources and forced
to work. If a paternal government
must still take care of theso "citi-
zens" then let the excess land be
told to tho highest bidders and tho
iiKnnv expended In building bouses
and purchasing Implements and
stock for tho Indians. Then they
should bo given to understand that
It Is work or suffer.
It Is an outrage tu saddle tho
support of Mime GO.000 or CO.OOO Idle
Indians upon the hard-working set-
tlers who arc building tho Btate.
Theso tenants ought to havo an op-
portunity to acquire homes and not
be held In a stato of perpetual
tenancy to the Indians. What Com-
missioner IxMipp says with regard to
the Utes applies to the fullblood
Creeks Choctaws and Chickasaw.
If tho white settlers who have
been renting theso lands from tho In-
dians ai emancipated and per-
mitted to buy the lauds that aro not
a part of the homestead allotments
hundreds of thousands of acres will
become taxable and the white people
will have an opportunity to secure
homes.
If the present policy bo. main-
tained this laud will become In-
nlleiiable after a period of years and
subject to sale. In the motintlmc the
fullblood landlords will have made
not a particle of progress and the
lesson of labor will still bo a mys-
tery to thorn. Ily beginning a ra-
tional policy now the generation
of young Indians may bo taught tho
value of Industry ami self-reliance
and somo progress will be mado to-
ward their uplift.
Tho stato of Oklahoma should not
be shackled by a foolish policy
which can only retard Its develop-
ment and Increase the burdens upon
the people who aro milking tho
state. I'ost.

Muskogee needs a revision of the
hack drhors ordinance and one of tho
provisions should road that drivers
must wear a number and be regis-
tered and that no bruUor. tough or
thug shall be employed by owners
of cab lines. Tho penalty for viola-
tion of the ordinance should bo the
cancellation of tho owners license
to operate a hack Hue In this city
and this perhaps would result In get-
ting a class of drivers who would
be a trifle more cautious In their as-
saults on respectable citizens. Such a
provision coupled with a schedule of
price to bo displayed In each hack
with a penalty for charges In excess
of the schedule would corrct an evil
from which at this time Muskogee
Is needlessly suffering 111 pocket
and reputation. Phoenlv.

On July 30. the republican state
committee of Ohio met and endowed
Secretary Taft for the presidency
ltoosevelt had previously endorsed
Taft. Hut on November ."th the vot
ers of Ohio practically repudiated
these endorsements. I'oraker's friends
carried Columbus; Johnson demo-
eiai was elected In Cleveland and
llltebeok democrat In Toledo. Hut
Teddy is happy still. The olllce-hold-t"s
appointed by him In Oklahoma
a that they will make him presi-
dent a third term.
An Indian family with a papooe
was standing ou Main street In
Shawnee wheu four richly dressed
white women approached and began
to fondle the pappose literally tak-
lug it from Its mother nho said
nothing. The stranger evidently
thought she could not understand
English and never spoke 10 her or
her husband. When they left and
befi iv they were out of bearing the
squaw in excellent Kngllsh said to
the buck. "They are dressed very
fine hut have very poor manners"
A Weiern man purchased a book
at a second-hand store and found
tour $2o bills between tho ler.voa.
Hereafter ho will probably smile when
a dealer assures him that thoro Is
110 money In second-hand books.
An Illinois lawyer enhgrod a fee
for having helped proouro a hero
medal for 0110 who had earned It.
Whn thoy commence giving medals
to mon with monumental gall ho
should not be overlooked.

ALL GOVERNMENT BUSINESS

SERVICES IN CHURCHES.
Ardrnorelte Special.
Washington Nov. 2S. Thanksglv.
Ing day was observed In the cus-
tomary manner In the national cap.
ItaJ. As usual the president and
his family are spending the day la
Virginia but will return late to-
night. All governmental business
Is suspended and the political talk-
test that presages tho opening ot
congress has for the day been aban-
doned. Special services wore hold
In nil the larger churches and wero
attended by many dignitaries of tho
government cabinet and diplomatic)
corps.
Tho drst ThaaiKnglvIng servico
held In tho colonies was observed
by the Pilgrims on December 13
1 1 . It was proclaimed by Govern-
or William Bradford tho first execu-
tive of the co'ony. He announced
that since they had Just garnered
abundant harvests of grain and tlio
cold weather had sent plenty ot
enmo to their forests a day of
Thanksgiving should bo observed
by the colonies.
It wns not until the Kevolutlon
that Thanksgiving day became gen-
eral throughout the thirteen states.
At that time a day of national
thanksgiving was recommended by
congress and tho first Thanksgiv-
ing proclamation ever Issued by a
president was signed by Georgo
Washington In 1782.
Tlio formal observation of Thanks-
giving as It occurs today dates from
1m; I when President Lincoln Is-
sued a proclamation for setting
apart tho last Thursday In Novem-
ber ns a day of national thanksgiv-
ing. Each succeeding president has
followed this precedent and tho day
has become a national holiday
throughout the United States tho
governors of the various states and
territories Issuing proclamations
similar to those of tho president.
The custom has been attacked by se-
cularists as a violation of the consti-
tutional provision for the separation
of church and state os they attack-
ed the cutor.i of Imprinting tho
motto. "In God "Wo Trust" on tho
coins of thi conntrv.
tuhsrrlln for tho Ardrnorelte.
