To the Editor of The Journal In your edition of April 28 Is an article In relation to the strange offer of 150,000 made by Henry Jack son, the wealthy Klamath Indian, to any suitable white man who would marry his daurhter. . . in : connection therewith Is printed this paragraph: . -stranger , yet, jaexson nas a . son languishing in .the Multnomah county Jail because the young man cannot fur nish bail in the sum of $1,000 for steal ing a cow'on the Indian reservation." And the question is ; asked, "Why should young Jackson want to steal a cow f Let me explain some things and your readers may be able to under stand the situation a trifle better. For years young Jackson has been getting himself and, his father into all sorts of trouble because of his natural "cuss edness," and because he haa been the worst Indian on the reservation . when- He married abolition of the corporation campaign fund, the taxation of railroads at fair valuation of the property employ' ed in the business, the equalisation of railroad rates, the prevention of child labor, direct nomination of all publlo officers, the prevention of fees for salaries, franchises to be given away by publlo . vote - only, an inheritance tax and many other reforms that were won only after prodigious and pro tracted right in Wisconsin, led end championed by Governor La , Follette. Certainly If any publlo .man. in the united states should be exempt from the charge of havlrg no business but lecturing for the profit there is in it or who has proven his faith by a long series of years filled with his works, that man is La Follette. - Senator Fulton has evidently been misinformed aa to La- Follette's Ie tures and Is not familiar with the fact that . Wisconsin la today regarded as being , more nearly a model in the character , of its statutes on all - the question demanding publlo attention than any other state in the Union. , And La Follette was back of the strenuous contest which secured them alL Considering that Senator Fulton sup ported Roosevelt on the railroad ques tion, , that the latter regards Harrl man es a really bad man, that La Follette's attacks are directed solely I at the system which Harrlman has built up, and that he wants Roosevelt reelected, it appears to the Tribune that there is a misunderstanding be tween "the tnree . distinguished - gentle men end that the two Roosevelt men should get in the ame sort of trot ting harness and pull together.
