' KINTA INDIAN TERRITORY THURSDAY OCTOBER 12 1905
h
I
Kinta is the present county
site of Sans Bois county and
should remain so after the Terri-
tory is admitted as a state
Don’t forget to exercise your
American privilege on the 7th
of November and vote for" Kinta
as the county site of Sans Bois
county
If Kinta is the best place in
the county for the Choctaws as
the place for the court house it
ought also to be the best place
for the whites
Senator Clapp’s Views
Muskogee I T‘ Oct 4MJ S
Senator Moses E ’Clappr cf
Minnesota chairman of the Sen
ate committee on Indiad affairs
has left Muskogee for a trip
through the Indian Territory
The trip will consume the en-
tire week It is made for the sole
purpose of learning of uondi
tions that prevail wherein con
gressional relief is necesary at
the next session of congress
The removal of the restrictions
and the taxation of property i
occupying a great dealofatten
tion from Senator Clapp and it is
on these points particularly that
he wishes to inform himself
The separate statehood advo-
The Indian Territory is larg'i
j c&tes have been greatly enpourag-
enough rich enough and the peo-1
pie intelligent enough to be ad
mitted as a state by itself
why do otherwise?
Then
The Quinton Pioneer has come
square out for statehood with
Oklahoma You are with the
minority Brother and ought to
get on the right side Be with
the people and for the people
Why not organize a Commer-
cial Club in Kinta? Then we
could go after enterprises of va-
rious kinds in a business like
way There is no better town
builder than a good live Commer-
cial Club What do you think
about it? - )
It is impossible for the editor
of this paper to see why any
thinking man in the Indian Ter-
ritory would want to be admitted
to statehood with Oklahoma and
have to help pay the large debt
already made by that Territory
If the Indian Territory is 'ad-
mitted alone we will start ia with-
out owing a cent Don't you
think that would be better than
' helping other people "pty their
We think so
od by the statement of Senator
Clapp who said while here:
"I ev of the opinion that the
Fftyiu Congress will - give
some lir'i if statehood toTerrito-
ry and Oklahoma I do hot know
what kind it will be whether it
will be to bring them in together
or as seperate states
Speaking personally I believe
you may say for me that I favor
their admission as two separate
states”
'fe-T
Hr
'is '
The Stlgler Beacon is against
seperate statehood The editor
Mr Hogan is a good man ant
ought to know better for he is
from the good old state of Ark
ansas where the majority of the
people are always for the wright
and am sure they don’t want to
see the Indian Territory tacked
onto Oklahoma The majority ol '
the people of the five nations
want separate statehood and you
ought to be on the right side Bro
Hogan
It now appears that the Cher-
okee alphabet invented by Sequo-
yah the learned blacksmith was
used by Joseph Smith the found-
erer of the Mormon religion
Where Joseph Smith got a copy
of the alphabet is still a mystery
unless he happened to be some-
where on the line of march of the
Cherokee Indians when they
passed from Georgia to the In-
dian Territory -When Joseph
Smith received a revelation from
God it always came in hierogly
phics that nobody could under-
stand These mysterious sym-
bols were then interpreted by
the Mormon leader which gave
him the title of prophet seer
and revelator

Friend of the Indian Advises
Rev J S Murrow of Atoka
reeognized as the strongest white
man with the Choctaw and Chick-
asaw tribes a man who has devot-
ed years to work in their behalf
and whose efforts to protect and
advise the Indians on all matters
gratefully accepted says the In-
dian Orphan a publication Is
sued in the interest of the Indian
Orpnan Home:
“We have been a friend to the
Indians especially the fullbloods
for forty-eight years We have
always given them good advice
“We now advise every Indian in
the Indian Territory to vote for
ratification of the constitution
and petition to Congress as pre-
pared by the Constitutional con-
vention at Muskogee Seperate
statehood from Oklahoma is the
hope of the Indians This consti-
tution guarantees the rights of
the Indians It pledges itself to
carry out the rules and regula-
tions of the Interior Department
n Washington for the protection
of the Indians Joint statehood
with Oklahoma means that the
Indians will not be protected
That ftiey will be cheated
wronged and defrauded It means
open saloons in the Indian Terri-
tory part of the state It means
drunken Indians who under the
mfluenceof whiskey will sell their
ands for a song and these sales
will be ratified by white courts to
the utter ruin of the Indians
“I repeat the hope of the In-
dians is in statehood separate
from Oklahoma My advice to my
ndian friends is not to sulk and
refuse to vote I know things
don’t suit you They are not
right But it will be much worse
if the Indians do not vote and let
bad white men make things worse
for you Vote for the ratification
of constitution and for separate
statehood”
THE CHEROKEE ADVOCATE
The Cherokee council passed
an appropriation bill which pro-
vides for the continuance of the
publication of the Cherokee Ad-
vocate the national paper of the
Cherokees printed half in Cher-
okee language and half in Eng-
lish The paper will be publish-
ed every week until the extingu-
ishment of the tribal government
next March It has been pub-
ished for nearly fifty years as a
national organ and is sent free to
many fullbloods who can not read
English but are proficient in their
own native language'
