Aftek mnluroly weighing rlio
consequences nnd remaining neu-
tral ttius fur in tho grcnt Japan-
China war Tim Chikftain lias nt
last decided to enpouao tho cause
nnd favor tho fortunes of Jppnn.
'Rail for tho Japs!
The stock of cntliusinsm on
hand in tho Cherokee nation to bo
expended in tho coming compaign
is unusually small this year. Ono
can hardly surmiso what tho issue
will bo this time. Tho Strip is sold
and tho old "chestnut" will bo nt
last laid nsido that has dono service
in so mnny campaigns. Tho com-
mon peoplo aro opposed to monop-
oly but woe unto tho enndidato for
chioftliat raises his little finger
against it.
If the United Stntos should put
all the intruders out that wero hero
before AugUBt 11 1880 according
to tho act of March 3rd 1802 the
country would .hardly miss them.
Thoro are probably tlirco-fourths
moro intruders here that have
come into tho country since that
dato than wero here before and
thcro aro a vast number that have
como in within tho last year. This
intruder matter is getting alto-
gether unwieldy.
If the additional appropriation
is mado to carry out tho intruder
clause in tho Strip agreomont the
authorities of this nation should
see to it that nothing is left un-
dono on our part to effect a fair
settlement with these people and
insist on the romoval of those who
are really intruders nnd rostoro
to full citizenship thoso who are
not. This matter is of great mo-
ment to tho Oherokccs and should
bo dealt witli intelligently and
actively.
One can hardly realize the rapid-
ity with which this country is be-
ing changed from a grazing to n
farming community. Tliero is
probably moro wheat grown within
a radius often miles of Vinita now
than was grown in all Cooweescoo-
weo and Delaware districts five
years ago. Tho people of this coun-
try now use flour mado of homo
grown and homo ground wheat
whereas five" years ago one firm in
Vinita alone sold n car load of flour
a week shipped in from tho states.
The transition is altogether profit-
able and tho possibilities of Hub
northern portion of the Cherokee
nation as a wheat growing section
can hardly bo imagined.
AaoNa lint of delinquent tax-
payers 'is postdd in public places in
this town und we notico on this liBt
many of th'o most substantial citi-
zens and largest property owners
of the place. Why is it thus? There
must be sorrm reason for these pco-
plo refusing totpay their taxes and
bear their part of the burdens and
expenses of city government. We
will venture a guess thai it is be-
cauBO these delinquents havo no
faith in the administration of city
government. They know there aro
people hero who never pay any
taxoB and there is no effort being
mado to make them pay. Now the
facts are just these: the better class
of citizens aro tired of tho slip-shod
not to say corrupt cjty government.
Tho lavfs'nre not enforced and
everybody knows they are notjand
tho officers have taken oath to sec
that they aro enforced. Wondor
why the authorities don't make
some sort of a financial showing?
What has becomo of tho largo sums
collected at the payment? Do those
delinquent tax payers havo a right
to know llicBO things?
Tho plea that tho Cherokoes
would bo unable to protect thoir
landed interests in case of allotment
Is about tho weakost argumont that
has appeared. Tho Cherokeos
havo very recently passed through
an ordeal that would havo tried
tho prudence 3f any people on tho
faco of the earth. andtheircautioun
foresight carried them through un
scathed. At the different places of
payment every anurement mob
been bold out ovory inducement
has been used to weedlo them out
of thoir monoy. Tho smooth gam-
ier tho silver-tongued fakir the
shrewd confidence man tho fair-
faced siren havo each in turn used
all their arts to lead our people
from tho path of rcctitudo to dis-
tutor and thoy havo failed. Tho
payment has -proved tho Indians
to bo a cautious intelligent people
able tocaro for their own and will
ing tolook into tho iuturo. It is
idiotic to say thatthoy can not in.
dividually tako corn of their land
and it is a disgmco and a crying
aiuuu lo force thorn to huddle to-
(Uir i UW hills while tho mono-

In tho cultured town of Fulton
is located tho Synotlical Fomalo
College. This is tho Stato female
college of the Missouri Synod of
tho Presbyterian church in tho
United Statos or as more com-
monly known tho Southern Pres-
byterian church. Tho representa-

for its culture nnd high intellec-
tual attainments it is but natural
to expoct to find it characterized by
tho samo qualities an expecta-
tion which is not disappointed. A
high standard is maintained an
cxtonsivo curriculum being taught
by n faculty of twelve experienced
graduates from leading colleges
l'ho art and music departments

of similar grade.
This old-established institution
is now undor tho protidency of a
man who by his own character
adds much to that of tho school.

INTELLIGENT 'SAVAGES.
The lVlmot Are Clrrer ArtUtlo unit
Inrrntlrf.
What l'rof. Otis T. Mason thinks ot
the Eskimo the lnrgost population
of Alaska and the ral intelligent ot
Its natives Is well worth consideration.
Looking at these people from a purely
icientlfic point of view l'rof. Mason
docs thorn simple justice no mpre no
lees.
"The Eskimos people nro known
to be the most Intelligent nnd nrllstlo
satngn people on the face of the globe.
Thoy were carvcri In ivory before any
white men ever went to that country.
Hver since the ltiiMlans wont up
there one hundred years ago
and took them tho flic and bet-
tor tools thoy havo been doing ex-
cellent carving of nil kinds. Thoir
progress in nrt for ono hundred years
has proved that thoy are an Intelligent
and progressive race and are not fall-
ing behind. They have stood compari-
son with that celebrated peoplo discov-
ered in tho French cares who left re-
mains in bone carving and also the peo-
plo of tho Somo valley.
"They have Invented ono of the most
ingenious applications on tho principle
of elasticity of which the world knows.
In this invention they havo made use of
driftwood. Thoy take a small piece of
wood about twelve Inches long resem-
bling a plpo stem which is quite brit-
tle and -will not bear bonding. Thoy
take sinew cord and run it through and
back so that every five inches they i
have a hitch. Thus it bears a great
colurnnal strain. Thoy can make a bow
so strong that it will send an arrow
Into a whale. Tho Invention is not
known nnywhero else In the world.
"Another ot their inventionsdosorves
mention. They have to ride in rickety
boats and thoy can use but one hand.
Tho boatman has to hold tho boat
steady in the water; not being able to
use his elbow in the loat he has in-
vented device which he attaohes to
his arm. Thoy havo not borrowed that
idea from the white man and the white
man never saw it until he saw them uso
1L Tho white man has been learning
navigation from these Eskimos. They
did not borrow their ideas from the
Itusslans. Tho lines of thoir boats aro
on the plan of modern raoing cutters In
all except the center part and if you
follow tho design of tho boats you havo
the modern racer. This bout is adapted
to their conditions and shows them to
be an ingenious and progressiva peoplo.
"Their mackintosh garmont is made
from tho intestines of tho seal which
nro taken and sowed together with a
little thread of sinew. Tho work is
ery extraordinary and Is done by tho
women. Those womon aro so strong
that they would undertake to shoulder
a sack of salt or even a barrel of flour.
They can carry two hundicd pounds in
weight Thev get down on tholrknces
to work With those deerskins. All tho
work on the deer from tho tlroo It is
killed Is the work of the women. Tho
men nro enduring and ublo to stand
any amount fatigue.
"Tho women aro healthy and display
wonderful vigor of limb nnd buck.
Thoy do not know they have backs.
Their co'W011 ' quite in contrast
with whatwefln2fnour ow ll0mwl-
They are hearty nnd healthy Z TCry
respect. My own studies have led me
to this conclusion and I havo been
nWo to compare them with other sav-
ages and I find that they will hold
their own with any abtIglnal race on
tho face of earth" Kate Field's Wash-

Last year while a certain distinguish-
ed English lady was traveling In this
country she expressed astonishment at
the vast fields of corn presented to her
view during a journey through Indiana
and Illinois and she wondered what
the Americans did with the enormous
crop. To this n brightyoung American
girl In tho party ansucrcd: "We cat
what wo can and can what wo can't."
Tho witticism would havo been lost
upon her ladyship had It not been for
tho friendly offices of others in tho
party who by dint of labor diagrams
chisels etc. finally got her ladyship to
see the point of the Joke. Then her
ladyship wns so pleased that she put It
down in hor noto-look to spring it up-
on her friends nt home. This is tho
way tho witticism sounded when it was
lot loose at one of her ladyship's dinner
parties: "In America you know they
have so mush matzo that thoy cat what
they can and tin what they can't."
When tho Knights Templars jour-
neyed to San Francisco tho most felici-
tous toast offered nt tho splendid ban-
quet was in these words: "Tho ladles
God blew them! what would our
knights be without them?" An En-
glishman present was so delighted
with the pleasantry for the Urltlsli
adore punning that when ho got back
o Australia he attempted to perpetu-
ate the toast at a local banquet and
he wondered why there was no out-
burst ot hilarious applause when he
arose solemnly nnd cried passionately:
"The lsJIes lod bless theml what
would our Knights Templars be with-
out them?"

(having been fooled by a joker who

PAY WITH CHECKS.
.V National Dank Account Ii Convenient
untl Kcnnonilcnl.
The wise woman may have extreme-
ly few dollars but she has a bank ac-
count. Carrying one's wealth In a
check book is much safer than carrying
it in n purse and although it may not
bo convenient to pay such smnll things
as car fares by checks It is much more
convenient to pay bills of nny consid-
erable size. It is qulto safe also to
tender a cheek on any oily bank in pay-
ment for goods tioitght in ono of the
Isrjfe stores even though ono is not
personally known to the proprietors.
There is always ample opportunity for
them to discover the worth of tho
check lietwuen the tlmo of Its presen-
tation and the time the goods are sent
home.
To open a bank account it is not
necessary to havo much money. Some
banks will receive a small a deposit as
fifty dollars as a beginning. It is neces-
sary for a women opening an account
to be personally known to tho cashier
or to have a letter of Introduction to
him or to the president. Such a letter
should 1m) presented during bank hours
which are usually between ten and
three. It is well also for tho woman
who has a bank account to remember
that the Institutions of finance close
early on Saturdays. Tho name ad-
dress and reference of tho depositors
will have to be entered in her writing
on the identification book. Should a
chock signed by her name In a doubt-
ful writing over bo presented this
book will bo used for comparison.
When this has been done the
depoit is made. Deposits may bo
made In bills checks or drafts
and when tho money Is handed
to the receiving teller it is accompanied
by a deposit slip on which the sum de-
posited and the form in which it Is pre-
sented ore recorded. A pass book which
tells tho amount of tho depositor's
credit a chock book and somo deposit
slips are given to her and slio is a fully-
equipped depositor. The pass book
should Ih sent to the bank at stated
times to be balanced.
The advuntoges of having a bank ao-
count are morn than the mere glory of
the situation. Hanks are not so easily
robbed as fcninlne bsgs and bureau
Jr2or$. Chocks aro moro convenient
than bills aim :!.''. And lastly there
is less temptation to extravagance
when on (ins tn make out a check for
each item and when ono rcullzrs that
each abstinence from spending swell
the aura to one's cr4lt- Ki Y. vwal.

GROCERIES!
In good times people buy
what they wish; in bad
times they buy what they
must. When money comes
most easily it goes most
readily but when a silver
dollar looks as large as a
Kansas Jimmi-cane and is
fearfully lonesome its own-
er clings to it until he finds
a bargain. He has a big
dollar and wants a big dol-
lar's worth and he is right.
We have endeavored at all
times to sell Groceries and
Provisions at prices that
satisfied the most exacting.
And now with a fair pros-
pect of good crops together
with the Strip money float-
ing around we are still in
the front. We want your
trade and if low prices and
fair dealing be any induce-
ment we are bound to have
it. You will find everything
that may be had at a first-
class Grocery Establish-
ment. Call and see what
the purchasing power of a
dollar will do for you.
