FRIDAY, DEC 20 th. 1901.
The Purcell Register says that
the Cherokee Indians were trying to
get a settlement of their affairs
with the government forty years
ago, ;.ud that they are still as
much unsettled as ever. Yes it
looks 'ike nothing short of state-
hood will finally settle all the In-
dian questious in the Territory,
and give all persons justice.—Den-
ison Herald.
In speaking oi the Indian Ter-
ritory situation, the St Lc-uis Globe-
Democrat says; "In simple justice
to Indian Territory, congress
should earnestly cousider the ap-
peals from that quarter for the or-
dinary blessings of civilized gov-
ernment. Public education is neg-
lected. for one thing, and that fact
is most serious indictment of the
present aystem of conducting the
affairs of the territory-

A memorial protesting against
union with Oklahoma in state hood
has been received by the Interior 1
with several thousand marks and
signatures of alleged Cherokee cit-
izens. The '' memorial" must have
been circulated with consistent
precaution as there are some thirty
thousand Cherokee citizens who
knew naught of its movements.
A census of the .Tahlequah grave-
yard might throw some light on
the personnel of the signers.

A dispatch from Washington
says:
W. H. P. Trudgeon, of Purcell,
I. T., was one of the president's
callers. Mr. Trndgaon is s mem.
ber of the Muskogee commission
that baa been appointed to visit
Washington to urge the admission
of Oklahoma and the Indian Ter-
ritory as one state. The delega-
tion will be here in full force after
the holidaya and will spend the
winter here. The many reasons
why the inhabitants of Indian Ter-
ritory should have statehood will
be made plain to congress. The
chief diffictltyln the way of state-
hood is the question of single sep-
arate statehood. So far the weight
of influence here is for one state,
which will give the inhabitants of
the two territories the rights to
which they are entitled, without
compelling the white people of the
Iud<an Territory to wait for years
until the Indian Territory problem
can be settled. It has been sug-
gested that both territories can be
addmitted as one state and the al-
lotment and enrolling question
turned over to the state legislature
with safeguards afforded to con-
gress fot the ample protection of
all right of the Indians.

W. R. SEATON, Mgr.
The ultimatum of the govern-
ment has been isjyed to the na-
tional council through the Hon.
C.R. Breckinridege, who appeared
before that body Friday and in
unmistakable terms informed them
that a definite date for the closing
of the tribal rolls must be set at
once. Mr. Breckinridge went to
Tahlequah on special orders from
the interior department, and spoke
authoritatively when he informed
the couucil, thar their failure to
name a date for the closing of the
rolls in the government taking the
matter out of their hands.
In reviewing the work of the
Daw.-s commission Mr. Breckeu
ridge s«id, that while they had
been retarted in their work by
certain elements in the tribe, that
the government would not tolerate
further delay, and that the rolls
would be closed at a date named
by ii;s department if the council
presisted in trifling. *

WHAT Wll-L CONCJRESS DOT
That is the uppermost thought iu
the territory. From the counting
room, the farm, the factory, office
and ranch, anxious eyes are fixed
upon the national lawmakers at
Washington, not ready to depair,
yet afraid to hope. There is a
touch of pathos in the situation.
Here are half a million people, pa-
tient, thrifty, law-abiding, under a
system of government that has
bred revolution many times in the
history of man. We have sub-
