Is the Creek Land Sale a Failure?
The regulation* for the Aliena-
tion of allotted Innds in the Creek
country, promulgated on July
10th, have now been operative for
more than four months. It is
thought to lie not inopportune
therefore that some consideration
may now be given to the practical
results of this fifth and last and
possibly final batch of regulations
issued by the department on this
important matter- The outlook,
for anything like rapid and early
conveyances from citizens, is by
no means bright or encouraging-
Four and a half months under the
new regime have witnessed the
approval of only one deed, so far
as the public has been informed.
That was the allottment advertised
on July 27 by Marion K Tarvin
of Muskogee, and on Sept - 26 the
bids on 'the same w**re o|iened
when J. M- Dyer's bid of ?83 Nft
pence was found to be the high-
est, and this sale was approved by
the Secretary after more than thir-
ty days deliberation, namely on
Oct. 80. On each succeeding
Friday, from Sept. 25. these sales
have gone on regularly, and 102
tracts have lieen ostensibly ex-
posed to purchase- The evident
sloth of the department in the
work of Approval of these sales is
alike provocative of impatience on
the port of the purchasers and of
a well developed fear in the mind
of the public generally that the
new plan will not work; or at
least it awaken the unwelcome re-

Hence a* the Secretary of the In-

Panama’s Protector.
The atitude of the administra
tion on the Panama matter doesn’t
look like just the nroper thing
when the new republic was so
hastily recognized ami the United
States of Columbia was flatly told
that she could not lie allowed by
this country to try to co-erce the
secessionists liack again. The
English (miters say that the Presi-
dent was acting in indecant haste;
and it would seem that the Wash-
ington government is estopped
from reseating this criticism es-
pecially when it is rememliered
how bitterly the United Stales
c nnplaincd at Great Brilian for
recognizing the Southern confeder-
acy- Hut now there is much at
stake, and there's a difference as
to whose ox lias been hooked, and
s »it looks all right. The rapac-
ity of this government grows.
Imperialistic tendencies are to ho
imitated. The farewell advice of
G. Washington, to Hvoid all for-
eign entangling allienc.es, is too
old fashioned for this strenuous
administration. Let little repub-
lics like Columbia get out of the
way, for the boy president is in
the exocutivo saddle and the con-
gress is snubbed.
A Bogey Man to the President.
The Fort Worth Record con-
tains the grewsome expression:
“Hanna’s boom, the sheeted ghost
that causes White House chills ’’
That phrase graphically presents
the situation. The adroit Hanna
has hevnr yet consented to head
the national committee for the ap-
proaching campaign. The idea is
steadily growing that the Ohio
Senator belongs to the “Barkis-
is-willin’ ” class, in reference to
the nomination for 1104. A poli-
tic-inn of rare nkill the big boss
could likely land the nomination
if lie decides to enter the lists.
Important Decision.
In the court at Vinita it has
been held that a (mrent cannot
maintain an action *or rent for an
allottme.it of his child unless he
has lieen appointed a legal guard-
ian and received from the court
his letters of guardianship. This
holding of the court effects many
leases in the Cherokee country.
And while it is the law, and has
been for several hund,*ed years,
the decision will produce no little
trouble.
Not "Judge.”
Where is the authority for call-
ing a common United States Com-
missioner "Judge/” The Demo-
crat would like to lie shown. The
title of Judge is one of exalted
honor and when a lawyer by
years of toil and struggle has
worthily won it, the appelation
should not he minimized and
stretched down to embrace a little
two hy four United States Justice
of the Peace. It is stretched
enough—out of all shape—by its
use* for some that are to it entitled.
Congress will not do much dur-
ing extra session.

More Editorial Recognition.
In the leading editorial in last
Sunday’s Oklahoman, wherein is
discussed the protiahility of oil and
gas in the vicinity of Oklahoma
City, that iwfier says:
Northeast of us, where develop-
ment lias been going on for years
in the Kansas and Indian Terri-
tory oil and gas fields, and in the
new fields in the Osage nation,
and at Red Fork and Tulsa, it ia a
matter of general knowledge that
some of the richest fields in the en-
tire country exist.
In regard to further editorial
utterances along this line, the

decided change of opinion on the
