However correct or liicurrcui a

Tho duty of a public journal is
jto givo credit whero it is duo and
to condemn wrong wherever it
may bo found irrespective of par-
tics or persons. Such a courso I

There is an ovidont improvom&ift
in this respect as evidenced by the

An futile attempt was made in

EniTon Indian Chieftain:
What I hnvo to say in regard to
what I believe our council should
do I shall say it straight.
For our lands west or 9C de-
grees tako the offer of tho govern-
ment of tho United States $1.25
per acre straight through; got tho
monoy and divido every cent of it
per capita between all the citizens
of tho Cherokee nation alike no
distinction.
Abolish tho 15th article of our
treaty of 180(3.
Fix up our public domain law
so that ono man can't fenco up
any moro than ho can cultivate; do
away with all this big foncing up
business.
Fix up the cattle law bo that
men bringing in cattle must koep
(hem on their own premises and
not let them run all over their
friend?
Fix tho mineral Jaw so that non-
citizens companies or corpora-
tions from liny part of tho Unifed
Stales can laasu our mineral and

way for any company of tho Unit-
ed States lo run railroads through
our nation in any direction they
want tho company paying tho
Chorokeo nation a reasotiablo sum
for tho right of way.
Fix these things up in this wh .
or sum such way and wo will see
our nation riso to tho top and
shlno. Now what do you all say ?
Let us havo a shlno. Thcro is
enough mineral and coal and salt

out; tho council will soon bo on

Why don't you demand but not
beg of your law makers tho fol-
lowing: An economical expenditure of
your public funds.
That your publio men shall
earn honestly every dollar paid
them.
That your public printing shall
bo dono by contract and by tho
lowest bidder.
That you shall havo tho right to
employ such teachers lor your
schools as you sco fit and that
your school fund' bo apportioned
equally to every school and
placed to your credit to do with
for school purposes as you pleaso.
That your board of education be
abolished and that you havo a
superintendent of public schools
instead.
That parties wishing to uso your
grass bo mado to pay what it is
worth rcgardloss of color standing
or party affiliation.
That every acre of your land be-
ing cultivated or held by stakes
pen s furrows or in any manner
claimed by n citizen over tho
amount due him as his claim of
public domain bo mado taxable to
an amount that tho citizen can af-
ford to pay if he wishes to culti-
vate it but that ho cannot afford
to pay simply for the satisfaction
of saying "It's mine."
That the nation deal directly
with monied corporations for tho
development of your mineral.
That overy dollar rocoived ns
revenue hereafter bo paid directly
to tho ownors of tho soil and if it
is necessary to have moro inonoy
to run this government let it bo
raised by taxation and tho burden
fall upon those" who derivo the

ly belongs.
Demand this and a great deal
moro. Yours just woko up
