Tho indignation of the pross throughout tho country continues to mnnlfost iUolf in vigorous com ments nnd an investigation of nffalrs In Indian Torrltory Is gonornlly do- mandod. It scorns that Prosldont Hoosovolt linn been coutomplatlng nn examination Into tho affairs of t'no Territory for somo tlmo pnst. Ex tracts from editorials from somo eastern papers follow. Tho Republi can of Springfield, Mnss., asks: And what Is to bo dono with the n whoso mis conduct In otTlco Is thus reflected upon? Aro thoy to con tinue in tholr places continuing nlso In tholr money Interost and official management of concerns whoso ef fect 1b simply ono of robbery and degradation of Uio wards of tho gov ernment? Thoy should resign ono or both of thoso connections, or rather thoy should bo romovod from tho sor vlco of tho government. Tho Investi gation of Mr. llrolsus, nn entlrol competent lawyer, who has dovotod 1Mb labors for a year to find out tho truth of tho matter at issuo mado a strong prima faclo case, and tho pre sumption of tho truth of nt conclu sions is uulto sultlclent basis for a demand for Imtncdlato measure." Tho Now York Evonlng Past says: "Tho most serious scandal nlioenng Uio government's relations to Its In dian wards which has uJcomo public for nt least a decado iust Is wnv foreshadowed by tho ropoit of S.tm uol W. UrosluB, gonoral necnt of tho Indian Rights Association, In regard to tho land tcnuro In tho Indian Tor rltorjf. With tho old storlos of t'no cheating and robbing of Indians by whlto men wo nro all too familiar. Hut that trusted agonts of tho govornmont, among them ofllclals of tho Dawos commission', should bo found to bo profiting by othor connections than thoso with tho public service, Is both discouraging and humiliating.

Tho Washington Tlmos mnkes those strictures: "Surface Indications seem to warrant tho decision roachod by tho prosldont nnd Socratnry Hitch cock to order nn Immediate and rigid Investigation of tho nffalrs of tho In dian bureau. In -tho statements con tained In the report mnde by Mr. Ilrosuls of the Indian Rights Associa tion nro true, no tlmo should bo lost In Instituting n searching Inquiry Into tho conduct of olllclnls charged with tho administration 'of Indian 'nffalrs. When such conditions ns Mr. Uroslus describes can bo unearthed by a pri vate individual, It Is Impossible, to say what might bo discovered when un official probo delves: Into theso mat ters. Such Blow progress has boon mado by tho Dawes commission In tho allotment of Indian lands that tho fact alono Is Justification for making nn Inquiry Into Its niothods, and now that Ita present chairman Is found to bo associated with sovoral of tho land speculating companies, It Is ransona- bio to Biipposo thnt tho delay In wind ing up tho work of tho commission has not boon nltogothor due to tho la borious task It has boon callid upon to perform." Tho Now York TImesr give Inter ostlng Information: "Tho scope of tho Investigation which it has boen decided to mako Into alleged frauds committed by United States ofllclals In connection with allotments In the Indian Torrltory Is now undor coa Hldorntloii by Secrotary Hitchcock. At tho Indian bureau nothing Is known as to how tho Inquiry will bo conduct cd.

It was Afnrk Twain, who told the story of tho unhnppy prlsonor who. nftor ton long years of Imprisonment, was struck by a happy thought he Just opened tho door nnd walked o"t Tho awlft concurronco of so many governors with tho prosldont'b sontl- ments on lynohlngs la somothlnz on tho samo order, and there Is a unan imous -agreement of opinion that the way to stop lynchlngs Is to enforce tl(o law swiftly, impartially and com pletely. None of the concurring gov ernors seom to havo beon aware of tho fact that swift.
