Thcv till us that tin- fight tor
removal of restrictions is not yet
lost; tli;it there is yet a possibili-
ty ot re lie 1" from that source, or
at least that is the information
C. B. Douglas writes his paper,
the Muskogee Phoenix. He also
advises "By all means the Presi-
dent should he deluged with tel-
egrams insisting on relief. It's a
desperate chance, but there are
vet chances it' Territory towns
will act promptly." This thing
of deluging the President with
telegrams has grown mighty
tiresome to the people of the ter
ritorv. Do von think the 1 rt si-
dent is a chump? With all this
statehood talk, statehood mass
meetings demonstration after
demonstration and e a r nest
pleadings from this God forsaken
country, even groveling in the
dust at the feet of the great high
priest, asking only for recogni-
tion of the rights to the enjoy-
ment t the pv "ileges of Amcri
can citizens—in addition to the
long drawn out discussion otthe
subject in the house and senate,
is it not fair t< assume that the
President is pretty thoroughly
familiar with the conditions of
the Indian Territory? We think
so, and there is just about as
much sense in bombarding him
with more messages as there is
in fitting out an expedition to
the moon on the same mission.
The people of Indian Territory
are to be admired for their pluck
and indomitable energy; in fact
their exact counterpart would
be difficult to find, but their force
has been spent on Washington
guys, the great majority of whom
are not only not in sympathy
with us, but arc concerned but
little about the Indian country,
else some relief w ould be granted
on behalf of the Indian, if not in
the interest of the white man.
moval of restrictions will not
benefit lis. Give us statehood
and the restrictions will be re-
moved.
The five amendments to the
Curtis Five Tribes bill, chief oi
which was granting the Indians
the privilege to sell their lands,
were talked to death in the sen-
ate last Saturday—all receiving
a fatal dose. It is evident thati
congiess cares not a whit about '
the future prosperity of Indian;
Territory. The gratters and ear-
pet-baggers are yet unsatisfied.
If we can't n. t statehood with
restrictions removed, give us
statehood anyway. Kv< rv little
bit help-'-. Statehood will give
us representation in congress,
and that's wlia t we want, flic
needed legisl ition will come as a
natural consequence, when we
shall have succeeded in getting
authorized representatives in the
law-making bodies—men who
are interested in the welfare of
this people. It is a mistake to
sav that statehood without rc-
11 congress should prompt!)
pass the Indian bill in a manner
that would be satisfactory to
nine-tenths ol the progressive
citizenry of Indian Territory,
then congress would have to quit
business tor awhile and go home
und that's just what our states-
men (?) do not want to do. They !
want to "fool the people some j
more" by continuing the gabfest
now in session. Great iscongress!
We can't set w herein Rev. Fa-
ther Thomas Sherman hopes Lo
do himself any credit by going
over his father's route of devas-
tation during the stirring days
of 18G5. The storm of indigna-
tion that has been aroused by
the Sherman march to the sea,
accompanied by a troop of cav-
alry caused President Roosevelt
to order the cavalry to return to 1
its post. General Sherman's not J
famous, but infamous, march to |
the sea, was the most cowardly i
and indefensible deed that ever |
disgraced American soil, and
Sherman No. 'J is entitled to all j
the honor and valor that at-
taches to the act of robbing and
burning the homes of poor,
defenseless women and children.
He ought to have too much man-
hood to mention it, much less
be .a part v to reviving the subject.
If Hartshorne does not succeed I
in securing a reduction in ap-1
praiseincnt it won't be because of
lack of effort on her part. The
council has accepted a proposi-
tion on the "no cure, no pay
basis, which seems more likely to
bear fruit than any move yet un-
dertaken; at least that opinion
is shared by most people, l or
the consideration of $2,000 we
are guaranteed a reduction ol
from TO to 50 per cent. No re-
duction, no pay. This beats the
Judge Shepherd proposition, and
it is to be hoped will prove more
effective, which now appears to
have been more in the nature ol
a graft than a legitimate propo-
sition. The payment of $2,000
for saving of $75,000 to Harts-
horne would certainly be consid-
ered a good investment. This is
what is hoped to be accomplish-
ed by the transaction.
