PROGRESS MADE BY
COMMISSION.
In discussing the status of the work
of the Dawes Commi, s on yesterday
' with thetduorof the Phoenix, Chair
man Tama Hixbv said. "We expect to

that a republican ought to he elected
in order to get statehood, but any man,
never mind his politics, could do as
much as McGuire (lid last session of
congress.
The Muskogee Phoenix seems to
think Bird H. McGuire ia to get state-
hood for Indian Territory and Ok'a-
hoina. If lie does, it is the first tiling
lie hah ever gotten for either this or
his own country, unless it was some
bird seed lie sent around last spring.
''ven though the Chrokue Advocate
did occupy a Held exclusively its own,
we have yet to hear of any enterpris-
ing editor planning to succi ed it, re-
gardless of the fact that by so doing,
he may supply a h ng felt want.
We acknowledge that at first, we
figured tliat the success of the air «hip
at St. Louts was an accident, but if
tli a t fellow with 11ni long n amea doesn’t
fall and kill himself, air navigation
may lie one of the future possibilities.
LEST YOU FORGET
Of course, strangers coining to Tulsa
gencrslly understand the situation ns
to city govern moat ami the length the
city may go towards compelling pro-
perty owners to put down sidewalks;
but tlie only adverse remarks ever
made of tho city is that there are no
thoroughfares for people on foot in
the city.
It may In* that the people aro too
busy making otIcr improvements and
haven't lime to put in walks. It's a
pool' excuse, however, and it seems
there ought to lie some remrdy for the
evil.
Lest you forget, the Democrat says
it yet: Tulsa needs walks.
South MeAlester puts on more airs
than any other town in the Territory.
Troubles never como singly: a foot j
bull game, a negro minstrel and a one-!
ring cireua are slated for the week.
Many of ttie territory newspapers
are woiried over the safety of the fed-
eral jail at Muskogee. Personally, we
are not interested.
THE TAX DECISION.
A leading attorney of the city was
asked what the decision of the court
concerning the tax upon all Don-citi-
xens by the Indians in the Territory.
If it really meant anything. 11 is re-
ply was: “I think it will he taken' to
the supreme court of the United Hiatts
and reversed. If it is not it means
that I must pay 825.(10 a year and
every every other professional man and
every merchant must pay." Others in
a position to know express tho same
opinion.
No one need he uneasy or fear Dial
anything of that kind would be al-
lowed to go on long. The best thing
that could happen to Tulsa would he
for tliis law to be upheld and for this
tax to be collected for a short time.
Inaction by Congress is the thing In-
dian Territory lias to (ear. Congress
will be in sesiion now in a little nver a
month Any sucli an injustice would
not he permitted to continue once con-
gressional action could lie gotten. Any
action Congress may take is certain to
improve conditions. Such a showing
as can be made will lead any body of
sane men regardless of party to pass
laws beneficial to the people that, are
developing this country,
China is the great slave couutry of
the world. Of a population of 400,000,-
000 there are slaves to the number of
10,000,000. Every family of means
keeps its girl slaves, sml a man's por-
tion is usually ganged by the number
lie keeps. At any age from three to
fifteen girls are sold, seven or e'glit
being the age when moat change
hands. The girls are purchased to do
liousewoik, it being cheaper to buv

that date. The total force now
plojeu is 220, dtvidju a, follows: Cboc-
taw land office at Atoka, 30; Chicka-
saw land office at Tishomingo, 30;
Cherokee land office at Tableqush, B0:
headquarters office, Muskogee, 100
This force will gradually decrease
everywhere except in the Cherokee na-
tion, where there is more to be done
than in any o.her nation. Large field
parties will be sent to Vinita, Clare-
more and Dewey to hear and determine
contests, in order to expedite the work.
Field parties wi.l he put out to make
arbitrary allotments for the Snake In-
dians and the Night Hawks in the
Cherokee Nation, who refuse to come
in and select their allotments. Under
the law deeds can not be issued to the
Mississippi Choctaws until 1900, and
this with probably some allotment
work in the Cherokee nation, can not
be completed by the commission. All
contests iu the Cboetaw nation have
been docketed and w*ll be heard by
January, 1U05, and all Chicitasaw con-
tests tiled to date will be heard by
February, 1905. Certificates of allot-
ment are issued up to date and are
given out as scon as a lotmcnts are
made Practically all Creek deeds
have been issued and 10,000 Choctaw
and Chickasaw deeds are in the bauds
of the governors of these two nations.
Some deeds, though not many, have
been issued in tho Cherokee nation
and in the Seminole nation. All the
work is practically complete. There
is an excess of 180,000 acres left in the
Seminole nation, which will be dis-
posed of by tlie Platt bill, which passed
the senate last winter and which wa*
drawn by tlie commission for the pur-
pose of winding up the affairs of that
nation. Under the law tlie commis-
sion 1ms nothing to do with the excess
lands in tlie Creek nation. A bill is
now in course of preparation which has
for its purpose tlie completion of all
work not provided for in the various
treaties, such as disposition of excess
lands in the various nations, perfect-
ing deeds to schools, churches and in-
dividuals, and picking up the loos;

realize that most of the little Deweys
are abcut old enough to start to school.

he buy s more flowars and candy than

HAVE A CIGAR
While Tulsa is casting about for
enterprises, It is overlooking a manu-
facturing proposition that demands
neither fuel, machinery nor bonus. It 1
is an enterprise that will give employ- i
merit no from one to five hundred men.
Does Tulsa want such an enterprise? ■
Mind you, tlie Democrat, doesn’t
desire to encourage men to use tobacco j
but to those who do- men who are city j
builders and who attend meetings of
tho Commercial club—it wauls to call j
attention to a fact or two.
Supposing every man who consumed
a cigar during the day ihoulil demand j
that tills cigar was made in Tulsa, I.
T. What would bo the result ?
Fifty or a hundred men would go to
work rolling up the "weed’1 for con-
Hitiiors right hero in the city of Tulsa.
This would probably muko some man
or men rich, but every business man in
the city would get his share.
