escaped convict, had come to his
house in Oberlin Friday night and
that the officers could get him there.
Being questioned, it developed that
Bryant had come home with both

Washington, Special. "After all
gentlemen, he is the oldest American
f all of us; so give him a fair show;
give him a chance."
In these words President Roosevelt
spoke to the members of the Tulsa.
Okla., Commercial club, who with a
brass band and flaming banners, call
ed at the White House Friday and
made it known to the President that
they favored the removal of restric
tions of the sale of Indian lands in
the new State.
The President told the club that he
irould help them to see that they got
their rights and he wanted their help
to see that the Indian gets his. The
Presidents remarks were as follows:
A Homestead of 40 Acres.
"It is a great pleasure to greet you
here. I take peculiar interest in your
State; it is a great State,, and it is
going to be a much greater State. 1
endeavor to find out what is really
for your interest and then to do it,
I went over very carefully with your
Representative this question of the
removal of the restrictions and came
to the conclusin that substantial jus
tice won d be done to both the Vi
dian and the white man by keeping
for the Indian a homestead of 40
acres of good agricultural land and
allowing him to alienate the remain'
der. I do not think it is to his ad
vantage or to yours that there should
be large tracts of non-taxable and
non-improved land.
"I will help you in any way to see
that you get your rints Now, I wa;:r,
you to help me see that the Indian
gets his rights. I will help you in any
legitimate waj'; and I will do my
best to try to" see tint the Indiai '.s
not kept as an obstruction to the
growth of the State. But you know
is well as I do that there are plentv
of Indians who are not .yet as well
able to take care of themeselvcs as
Hie irst of .you ex.:e.ve!y able gen
tlemen of Oklahoma. You cannot af
ford, in your own interest, to do less
than justice to the Indian, and I want
you to make it your work to see that
your own State courts, your State of
ficials, carefully preserve the rights
of the Indian, and that you try to
give him the chance to which he is
entitled. I will do all I can to se
cure him that chance.
Give the Indian a Fair Show.
"After all, gentlemen, he is the
oldest American of all of us; so give
him a fair show; give him a chance.

The temptation to run for Senator
aas been great. The people have
nade him what he is politically and
ie would not fear to put his destiny
n their hands again, but he feels he
is doing right to keep out of the sen
sorial race to prevent bitterness, and
;he still higher motive of helping hu
manity by getting into the campaign
for State prohibition untrammeled by
the accusation that he is seeking per-
ional advancement by riding the crest
it the prohibition wave into the sen-
itorship.
He believes the people will approve
his course in enforcing the rate law,
in calling the legislature together and
in now fighting for State prohibition.
Ee realizes, he says, that this is the
;t flood tide" of his political career
and that in surrendering this oppor
tunity to take its crest, he is surren
dering forever his ambition to be Sen
ator but duty is higher than ambi
tion. He will get into the campaign
for the May prohibition election and
battle in the campaign in the Novem
ber election for Democracy and
State's rights. Want of means and
new burdens of recent affliction, he
says, will prevent him from carrying
out a cherished work for the youth
of the State and tie him down to a
life of toil, but he will be ever ready
to. work for the interests of his be
loved State.
Enjoining State Official.
To meet conflicts between the Fed
eral courts and the State authorities
such as have arisen, during the past
year, in Minnesotay North Carolina,
Alabama and other States the Senate
committee on the judiciary reported
a bill directing the method of proce
dure in cases where an effort is made
in'the Federal courts to enjoin State
officials from enforcing State laws.
The bill is a compromise between
measures introduced by Senators Ov
erman, Bacon and the late Senator
Bryan, of Florida, and was reported
by Mr. Overman. It has received
much attention at the hands of thC
committee and is intended not only
to lessen the frequency of injunctions
in such cases, but to modify and soft
en the process when it is resorted to.
It prohibits any one Federal judge
from granting such an injunction, but
requires that all applications for such
orders shall be heard by at least
three Federal judges, two of whom
shall be circuit judges, while the
third may be either a circuit or a dis
trict judge. It also requires'at least
five days' notice to -the State authori
ties, and grants direct appeal to the
Supreme Court of the United States.
The text of the bill follows:
