FIVE TRIHES AT SELF DESTRI'C-
TION
The so-called Indians of the five
tribes have allowed non-progress to
run mad. The acts of their legislatures
now in sesison are more illibeial and
barbarous toward American citizens
than the laws of any foreign power.
TheCherokees declare no non-citi-
zen can clerk in a store in the Chero-
kee nation. Two-thirds of the clerks
are whites. The clerks and merchants,
many of whom have upheld "sacred
treaty rights" and declared the gov- anj instead of the second week
em ment should keep hands off, now heretofore stated. A large amount of
fancy work has been contributed by
pure, no mixture. It your grocer don't

THE VNRI'LY MEMliER.
Preachers may go on preaching
against gossip and slander, and loose
tongues generally, but the "unruly
member" will wabble as of yore.
Humanity, like the buzzard upon the
wing, cannot see the good, but a scent
of oar ion will cause their eyes to
dance, their "chops" to dilate and their
tongues to oil up.
Evangelist Mitchell is stirring Texas
up religiously. Among his late ser-
mons was the following on the tongue
Of course this will apoly to nobody in
Oklahoma, but we print it just to give
an idea of what a gossipy lot Mite lell
is talking to in Texas:
"There arc many people in this
world today who need to learn that
they should control their tongue and
cease to do evil by their use, destroy-
ing home, happiness and purity. Many
folks prefer to be teachers and judges
who somehow do not follow their own
advice, and for fear I may be another
of this kind I shall pray Ood to help
me be humble and take an introspec-
tive look at my own life and tongue
while I preach to you. How quick
many of us are tc find faults in others
and use our time, talent and tongue
advertising abroad what we find to do
harm, with never a purpose to do good,
and such pi p • are usually meaner
than those of whom they speak. May
God help each of us to learn that we
are all sinners and thould keep a
'bridle and bit' on our own lives,
and more especially on our own
tongues. Se f justitiers are almost in
every instance self-deceivers, and are
nit to be trusted in matters where
principles are involved that have iu
them the life or death giving power
represented in the scriptures. We ar«-
all guilty before God, and no man dare
attempt to prove his innocence in this
age of the open bible enlightenment.
when argument and fact so clearly
demonstrate the contrary to every
sane aud thoughtful mind. A riile is
to remember that severity to others is
always sure to be laxity to ourselves,
but truth and charity demand that wt1
asseverate that the government should
put hands on and break up forever
such foreignism and non-progress, as
the greedy, narrow arrogance of the
Cherokees are trying to put into
tribal laws. It is a credit to the
chief that he vetoed this bill, and a
discredit to the council that it promptly
passed it over his veto.
The Dawes commission, last week,
got this ultimatum from the Choctaw
and Chickasaw delegates appointed to
confer with them:
"We will never allot our lands or
trade away our national existence."
A bill was recently passed by the
Choctaw council making it unlawful
for any citizen to attempt to over-
throw the Choctaw government by ex-
citing or subverting the minds of the
people against the present form of
the nuns of the many institutions of
the country, and the fair promises to
be one of the most interesting affairs
given for a long time iu Guthrie.

declaring intermarried citizen* en-
titled to none of the tribal rights-
The white brother is cut off entirely
from the tribal crib and put out in the
cold, cheerless world. The Chickasaws
have wailed loudest for an obeservance
of the government treaty. This law
violates that treaty. The treaty
is not binding with the Chickasaws,
if it is against their schemes and de-
sires.
The treaty of I860 not only invests
the intermarried whites with all the
rights of citizenship in the Chickasaw
and Choctaw nations, but it goes far-
ther and especially provides that they
share equally with blood citizens in
the division of the land under allot
ment, as witness article xx\ i of the
treaty:
"The right here given to Choetaws
and Chickasaws respectively, shall ex
lend to all persons who have become
citizens by adoption or intermarriage
of either of said nations, or who may
hereafter become such."
They have not only done this, but
they have disfranchised those adopted
members of the tribe who ore no
longer materially allied to persons of
Indian blood, or who have taken the
oath of allegiance to the 1 nited States.
The right to vote, acquired by mar-
riage. has been nullified. The I'nited
States laws say such dual citizenship
that of the tribe and the I'nited
States does not divest the Indian citi-
zen of any of his tribal rights.
These retrogressive laws indicate no
good for the tribal governments. They
will serve to convince congress that
the Indian leaders, to further avarice
and doltism, will disrespect any treaty,
ou rage any United States law. Pre-
judice and ignorance hold complete
sway. Progress and reason will not
yet break through.
| These tribes hold their lauds in fee
1 simple and cannot be forced to allot
any more than a private owner could
be forced to sell his land or lot. ilav-
