FRIDAY MAY 30 1902
Knockers arc going
knocked out in Stilwell
to be
It is given out from Washing-
ton that appraisement of town
lots in the Cherokee Nation will
begin about July 1
If you want to reach the peo-
of the whole eastern part of the
Cherokee nation you will have to
advertise in The Standard
J George 'Wright does the
proper thing now and then— but
P LelandSoper continually goes
wrong when he is not right
Millions for carpet-baggers-hot
a dam thing for the pele of
the Indian Territory— seems to
be the policy of the present con-
gress The Standard has the best and
most solid subscrption list in! the
Cherokee Notion— the best peo-
ple all over the Nation take The
Standard-
Caney and Verdigris rivers in
Cooweescoowee districts-are on a
rampage Thousands of acres of
corn and wheat are inundated in
the Caney river valley
The Standard hopes the oil
syndicates can agree on what
they want in this Territory so
Congress can act and gtve our
twmlfi what is left— if there is
f t —
anything left
The Standard believes in the
final windun of this Cherokee
' estate The $4300000 claim will
be allowed our people — but don't
hold your breath 'till Bob Owen
and his gang gets it
If Jt George Wright would get
a divorce from R L Owen the
noted Indian Territory-Washington
lobbyist he might gain the
respect-of the Cherokee people
at least he could serve them
better
Chief Buffington resents the
insult hurled' at the Cherokee
people by the department offic-
ials in this country in regard to
our manrgement of Cherokee
schools The Chief did the
proper thing
J M LaHay1 W W Hastings
Di M Faulkner and John E
Gunter are spoken 6f for Chief on
the Downing side' while R B
Ross is the only man mention6d
on the National side who has' any
show of election and if he gets
the nomination he will be elected
He is stronger before the people
than ever
Chief Buffington declines to
make the race again He could
be elected if he wanted the po
sition again There is strong
talk of putting but tickets' on the
Republican arid Democratic plat-
forms' This won't do in our In-
' diari politics— it would not fit us
The people may call on other
people id fun for cheif
The Standard told yoa'a month
: or more ago that the creation of
anew court district' in Iridiari
Territory meant nomorelegisla-'
tion for this country at the pres
ent session of Corigress 'Any
bill looking to the appointment of
- more carpet-bag1 officials can
pass Congress but it is impossi-
ble to get legislation looking to
Ihe relief of the people tii the
Indian: Territory
CThecolah has the biggest trade
of any town in tho laad to its
size It altnost equals Stilwelh
If the great and good Speaker
Henderson could realize the sad
condition of the common people
of the Iudian Territory for want
of good government — a humane
government — he would certainly
give these people his' hearty sup
port of some kind of legislation
looking to their relief Sad- in
deed is our situation and we cry
and pray to be delivered from
the vandals and gho'uls who
would consume the very marrow
of our bones— and who have
consumed all else here" in this
country
The greatest legal battle that
has ever occurred in the history
of the country over a case in-
volving the disposition of Indian
lands will be fought in the su-
preme court of the United States
next October when the now
famous Lone Wolf injunction
suit to restrain Secretary Hitch-
cock from opening the lands of
the Kiowa- Comanche and
Apache Indians in Oklahoma to
settlement is argued Jude-e'
Springer council for the Kiowas
and Coraanches has received
communications from leadine
iwyers and philanthropist's all
over the country tendering him
their assistance in the fight he
is making for his Indian clients
The Indian Rights Association
headed by Herbert Spencer of
Boston has offered to procure
additional counsel for the Indi-
ans in the event Judge Springer
deems assistance necessary or
advisable Walter S Logan for
a number of years president of
the New York Bar Association
and attorney for the Delawares
has requested permission to file
a brief in the case on the main
question in dispute The Cher o
kees who have just been refused
a restraining order against the
secretary of the interior to pre
vent him from leasing mineral
lands have likewise rushed to
the assistance of Lone Wolf and
his associates The contention
of the government in all of the
numerous injunction and manda
mus suits instituted in the last
two years has been that congress
and the executive were free io
deal with the Indians as they
deemed proper In other words
their position is that the question
of the renting and leasing of the
Indian lands tlieir allotment in
severalty and in fact the entire
handling of the Indian estate' is
a political question" and beyond
the reach of judicial interference
Thus far the new policy of the
government which had its incep-
tion about two years ago has
been uniformly sustained by the
federal courts

I have been taking Hipans Tabules for the dyspepsia and they
have helped me wonderfully I do hot know any particular way
they affect me but th6y seem to give vigor to the entire system I
had a sort of languid feeling but since taking the Tabules I feel
spirited and have not that melancholy way about me I think they
are good for a general build-up of the system- as they seem to act
like a tonic '
