Tha Indian Territory Situation
And Kindred Topics as Seen by Different People sod Papers
Erpm Different Points of View
¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥
Another View of Some time since
the Stewart Plan — publi8hed in
this dedartment an outline of
the Stewart plan ' commending
some of its feature whioh seen to
1 i
us to be the very best thing in
that line possible fo jr the develop-
ment of the country Following
is another ifpinon on the plan
from the Muskogee pemoorat :
It vests in a superintendent all
the authority of the United States
commission on citizenship and
allotment of land authorizes him
to set aside all ' lease and con-
tracts heretofore mode in regard
to allotted latod by court proced-
ings wherever there j was fraud
undue influence o? t inadequate
consideration and ‘no appeal is
allowed It authorizes him to
eject lessees or vendee summarily
It gives him the ‘jurisdiction of
all estates 6t deceased allottees
of all minors and insane and
incompetents He may summarily
remove any executor - adminstra-
tor 'or guardian appointed by the
allottees or by the Upited States
court and ho court federal state
or territorial shall interfere with
his acts in any manner
No more land shall be sold m
Indian Territory oNoept uude’r
him and then piily to ' tle actfcal
settle who shall’ bef "'required to
live five years on the land' or for-
feit it and the land can only be
paid for in-five” annual install-
ments and hot otherwise All
f :
future leases are forbidden and
all acts permitting alienation by
the Creek Cherokee Seminole
Choctaw and Chickasaw agree-
ments and by specific statutes are
repealed The probate laws of
Indian Territory are repealed and
the entire "matter vested in the
discretion of the proposed super-
intendent ‘ -
It is alleged in the public press
that this bill has the approval of
the interior department but this
is well nigh incredible although
the superintendent is under the
interior department
By the policy of this bill every
father in Indian Territory' would
be ousted as guardian of his own
child The probate courts would
be abolished
The theory of the bill is that
the superintendent is made om-
nipotent omniscient and- infalli-
ble— an absolute monarch He
would control every adult and
minor estate in Indian Territory
and no court could interfere with
his infallible acts-
If this bill should pass it would
completely paralyze every develo-
mentand every town in Indian
Territory ' ' -
It is unfortunate that Indian
Territory has no representa
tive in congress to defend its
rights We cannot believe congress
capable of passing such a bill but
there may oe danger of some of
the reactionary provisions pass-
ing and our people will do well to
give this proposed act their atten-
tion' -

There Is "a disease that infest:
many of our school rooms all ove
this country but we hope it has
not shown any of its symptoms in
' he Mannsvilje school It is com-
monly known as the “can’jts’Y
One of the 'results of the disease is
diminished ardor with which
pupils attack lessons and it oftez
developes into failure or aggra-
vated cases of laziness The only
known iremedy and a radical cure
for the “can’ta”'is a 'thorough
course constantly taken of a
prescription composed as follows
I’ll Try :50 parts
Desire 25 parts
“Stick-to-it-iyeness”25 parts
Application 100 parts v
Directions : Imbibe inspire ab-
sorb— get full of it any old way '
It will be noticed that the rem-
edy as well as the disease is cpn-
tagious and it is nob a bad thing

ONE MAN’$
"TVTOT long ago J J Talbot at one'time an eloquent preacher died as the result of drinking
X w one occasion he described to an audience his sad experience as follows
On
experience
“But now that the struggle is over I can survey the field and measure the losses I had position -high
and holy The demon lore from around me the robes of my sacred office and sent me forth
cliurchless and Godless a very hissing and byword among men -
“Afterward I had business large and lucrative and my voice in all largo courts was heard plead-
inng for justice mercy and rights But the dost gathered on niy unopened books and no footfell
’ crossed the threshold of tho drunkard’s office I had money ample for all necessities' but 'it took '
wmgs and went to feed the coffers of the devils which possessed me
“I had a home adorned with with all that wealth and the mpst exquisite taste could suggest
The devil crossed ti:is threshold the fires went out on the holiest of altars and leading me through its
v portals dispair walked forth wih her and sorrow snd anguish lingered within '
' “1 had children beautiful to me at least as' a dream of the morning and they had so eatwined
themselves around their fathef’s heart that no matter where it might wander even it came back to
them on the bright wings of a father’s undying love The destroyer took their hands in- his and led
them away - - - -
“I had a wife whoso charm af mind and person were such that to see her were te love
For 18 years we walked tho rugged path of life togethor rejoicing iu its suushine and sorrowing in its
shade The infernal monster couldn’t spare mo even this t V
“I had a mother who for long years had not left her chair a victim :f suffering and disease and
her choice delight was in reflection that the lessons she had taught at her knee had taken root iu the
heart of her youngest born and that he was useful to his fellows ah honor to her who bore him But
the thunderbolt reached even there and there it did its most cruel work
‘Ah me 1 never a word of reproach from hoi lips— only a tender caress only a Bhadow of un-
spoken grief gathered over the deair old face: only a trembling hand laid more lovingly on my head
only a more piteeus appeal to heaven if her cup was at last full
“And while her boy raved in his wild delirium two thousand miles away the pitying angels
pressed the golden gates ajar atid the niother of tho drunkard entered into rest ' t -
“And thus I stand a clergoman without a cure a barrister without a brief or business a husband
soul without hope— all swal-
without a wife a son without d parent j a man with sodreely a friend a
lowed up in the maelstrom of drink”

Tbs Tesdvcr’s Crtti :
I believe in boys and girls the
men and woman of a great tomor- " '
row j that whatsoever the boy sow-
eth the man: shall reap I believe
in the curse of ignorance in the
efficacy of schools in the dignity
of teaching and in the joy of
serving others I believe jn wis-
dom as revealed in human lives
as well as in the pages of a printed ’
book in lessons taught not so "
much by precept as by example
iu ability to work with the hands
as well as to think with the head
in ‘ everything that makes life
large and lovely I believe in
beauty in the school room in the
home in daily lite and in out of :
doors I believe in laughter in
love in faith in all ' ideals and
distant hopes that lure us on I
believe that every hoar "of every
day we receive a just reward of all
we are and all we do I believe in
the present and its opportunities
inf he future and its promises
and in the divine joy of living
Amen 1”— Edwin Osgood Grover

As for the origin of the tune of "Yan-
kee Doodle” over which there Is much
controversy this can be said— that most '
of the views expressed about Its origin
are right but only partly so It la
true the tune is the same as that of
Lucy Locket Lost Her Pocket” “Yan-
kee Doodle Came to Town" and that
of the Dutch reapers song “Yonker
Dudal Dudal Daun but It Is also
Identical with the old Blacayan "Dan-
za Esparta” (sword dance) and that of
a German aong which was published
at Cologne in the year that Columbus
discovered 'America '
