It is of paramount importance
that the white adopted citizens
organize themselves in every
neighborhood by electing a presi-
dent and secretary and enrolling
their members. By this means
the membership can be greatly en-
larged and the interest of the asso-
ciation promoted effectually.
Chief Harris has issued his
proclamation convening the nation-
al council in extraordinary session.
It is understood that the object is
to take action in the matter of the
removal of intruders and the dis-
posal of their improvements. It
is said that the government has
given assurance that if the money
due them on appraisement be ten-
dered them it will lend its assist-
ance in ejecting them.
Every man owes the community
and especially his own lamily
some measure of protection against
the influence and presence of loose
characters both male and female.
There is not one single woman o-
easy virtue in this town but what
is here at the instance of some of
the male fraternity. And every
one of them is a menace and a
standing reproach to the chastity
honor and purity of our homesand
-a monument to our moral coward-
ice as men. Men who prefer to
be lecherous libertines open and
without shame to themselves or
respect to the community in which
they live have no claim whatever
upon the business men of the town
and the sooner they seek other
pastures the better for all con-
cerned. A subject of much needed legis-
lation and one that should claim
the attention of council without
delay is the matter of granting
franchises by municipal councils
and the secret sale of city bonds.
It is a dangerous power to repose
in five or six men and a matter
that involves the property and the
rights of the whole country. In
-our own town it is said bonds have
been sold during the present ad-
ministration and probably not a
half dozen citizens know anything
about it as to quantity or price.
Pay day will come sometime and
the city will have to meet it.
There has been a vast amount of
money handled by our city crovern-
menTwitnln the last two years and
so far as the public knows no ac-
count made of it.
The Missouri Editor a very
brainy magazine for editors has
said that it is impossible for an
editor to do his duty and keep on
good terms with everybody. There
i s a great aeai oi truui in tins as-
sertion and doubtless has for its
i origin tne lact mat it Hurts some
Jec-ple-16 publish the truth on
them. An editor who lacks the
nerve to fearlessly and truthfully
publish his opinions editorially
need never expect to carry very
much influence with his readers.
The man that can pass through this
W0r3d' without being assailed by
opposition would hardly be worth
bi-Lmuch lo himself or the world
sither. Hence it would be foolish-
ecomdi6couraged because you
lave enemies. Rater reioice and
be exceedingly glad and instead
of hating love them.
WE AKSWEE WITH PLEASURE.
We would like to ask the Indian
Chieftain suppose the Cherokees
would agree to an equal division
of lands would the United States
agree to allow the Cherokee peo-
ple to say who were entitled to the
land? If the Dawes commission
will grant our people this priv-
ilege we see no reason why an
agreement coma not oe reacnea.

drHRhe subject of
monopoly MbuntB to naueht un
less a solutii is reached. It may
be proven tift demonstration that
monopoly does cxiei and that to
an alarming extent in the Chero-
kee nationbut unles's some remedy
is offered and acted upon by the
council the homeless citizen will
be no better off. And it is equally
true that any remedy that" wrongs
the highest or humblest citizen is
not the one we are seeking. The
main reason for the discussion
that is becoming so generaUamong
the citizens of the Cherokee nation
relative to the present unequal di-
vision oflandii-Jio bring about a dif-
ferent condition of affairs. The
legislative department stands as
though it was paralyzed and help-
less in the presence of this giant
evil that has slowly sapped the
foundations of a once well nigh
perfect system of government.
The chief trouble with our sys-
tem is that we have outgrown it.
It was fashioned for a much more
primitive people than the Chero-
kees of the present time are. It is
like an adult trying to wear the
clothes of a child. It has natur-
ally enough been outgrown and if
we are sensible we will alter it to
fit our changed and advanced con-
dition. In discussing a remedy
for the evil of monopoly and an
unequal distribution of land we
must always get down to the origi-
nal proposition that the lands are
common property and that no
citizenhas or can acquireany addi-
tional rights over other citizens no
matter what their holdings at pres-
ent may be. In the Cherokee na-
tion so far as the ownership of land
is concerned there must be no dif-
ference; all are jointly interested
in an undivided estate and none
must have any advantage over
others. It should be bourne in mind
that the Cherokee nation has not
parted with the title to any of the
common domain. This proposi-
tion of course covers townsites
school sites cemeteries and all
land included within the boun-
daries of the nation. Under our
system and according to our con-
stitution the title to no part of the
domain has ever passed from the
nation. The extensive purchase
of town lots in some instances is
the result of a belief that the lot
becomes individual property when
purchased from the nation but a
glance at the constitution will pre-
clude the idea that the title to
even a tonn lot is in the individual
and has passed from the nation.
'Also the deed itself is proof that
'all the right acquired is the right
to occupy so long as the land re-
mains common property and the
constitution plainly expresses that
it shall remain this way until such
time as the nation shall provide
for the Burvey and allotment of the
same. Our forefathers plainly
foresaw the very conditions that
we are now strusclinc with and
provided the remedy. In the
treaty of July 19 I860 ample ar-
rangement was made with the gov-
ernment to meet the emergencies
and accordingly our constitution
tvas amended so as to read thus:
"The lands of the Cherokee nation
shall remain common property
until the national council shall
request the survey and allotment
of the same." Thirty years ago
at the time the constitution was
amended it was apparent that the
time would come when a division
would have to be made in order to
protect the interest of the people
at large and hence this provision
was made. It is not pleasant to
contemplate these facts in as much
as it may mean the dissolution of
our time honored tribal govern-
ment but they are facts never the
less and we must stand up like
men and meet the issue bravely
and honorably. There is one thing
certain we must curb monopoly.
If we can not do more we must
not do less. And when we pull
out the teeth and fangs of monop-
oly we will have allotment pure
and simple. If the voice of blind
prejudice could be hushed 'long
enough to listen for a moment to
that of reason the way might be
more clear. But so long as de-
nunciation is hurled at the heads
of those who honestlj' attempt to
discuss these vital questions so
long will we be in darkness as to
their final solution. Equal and
exact justice to every Cherokee
citizen is the rule and guide that
should be employed in the settle-
ment of the matter and if that is
done no one need fear the results.
CniEF Harris so it is related
by Ike Rogers has signified an in-
clination to settle the freedman
controversy as the Shawnee catc
was arranged outside of court. He
is as stated willing that every
freedman who was a Cherokee
slave or is a legal descendant of
one should receive every dollar
due and looking to the perfecting
of a genuine roll of the same will
meet with delegates from each
neighborhood on the loth inst.
This is a practical common sense
way to abridge some expensive liti-
gation and gives more promise of
justice to all parties than any other
plan. 1

More Indictments in the Keating Mur-
der Case Other Criminalities.
The killing of guard Larry
Keating by Cherokee Bill was part
of a plot on part of the prisoners
to break jail. Cherokee Bill was
only the tool to be used in over-
coming the guards. The grand
jury investigated the case and se-
cured enough evidence to warrant
them in indicting Frank Ed and
Lou Shell' George and John
Pierce Henry Starr and Shtrman
Vann for murder. Mrs. Shelly and
Vann are accused of passing in the
pistols to the conspirators. The
case has not yet Been set.
Tine Walker was brought in last'
week charged with being one of
the participants in the McGirl-
Walker feud at Nowata which re-
sulted in the killing of Bud Mc-
Girl. Mrs. John Dodson a beautiful
girl of 19committed suicide Thurs
day night by shooting herself
through the heart.
Ed Malcom killed Dennis New-
comb at Nowata in February. The
two were scuffling over a revolver
and Malcom claimed the shooting
was accidental. Newcomb.though
told a different story on his death
bed and as the boys had previous-
ly had a trival difliculty his state-
me'nt was given most credence by
the jury.
The grand jury has adjourned.
They were in session 22 days and
returned 235 indictments 29 being
for capital crimes and ignored 47
cases. They reported the cells
and bedding of the jail in a very
dirty condition ragged and covered
with vemin and totally unfit for
use.

Avon' able editorial on "Divis
ion of Our Lands" appeared in the
last issue ot tne Indian Uhieftain.
If we had space in this issue of the
Advocate we would be pleased to
copy but the editorial will appe.ir
in our next issue. The editor
handles his subject well and very
plainly shows the good benefits
that would arise from the dividing
ot tne unorokee lands among the
citizens. There is no denying the
fact that something will have to
be done in the near future in or
der mat eacn citizen gets ins or
her pro rata share of the lands. It
is much to bo regretted that a few
of our citizens worship the dollar
so much that they forget that their
poor neighbor has any rights in the
country- whatsoever. Because they
have tho money they proceed to
fence in largo tracts of laud (more
than their share) for tho only pur-
pose of selling the hay that grows
upon it. Their poor neighbor has
just as much right to the grass and
needs it just as bad. But no the
poor man must stand back and see
what is his gobbled up by those
who happen to have money. The
Cherokees have more greedy and
avaricious people among them than
any other race of people upon the
globe.
The Chieftain says in Coowec-
scoowee district it is impossi-
ble lor a citizen to move into that
district and locate a home upon
the public domain all the public
domain is fenced up. Men in that
district tho editor further says
hold large tracts of land more than
their share at a higher figure per
acre than land can be purchased in
the surrounding states. The Cher-
okee constitution forbids selling
land and he can only dispose of
uis improvements. something
will have to be done to check this
awful evil. It is coming to a bad
state of affairs in this nation when
a citizen can go upon the public
domain fence up more land than
his pro rata share and when anoth-
er citizen desires to make for him-
self and family a home to bo told
by the person having the large
tract of land that before you can
get this land you must pay me for
it. This is wrong. Yes doubly
wrong and those whom we have
elected to look after all of our in-
terests at the last election should
pass a law booting these greedy
people off of what they are keep-
ing to the detriment of other citi
zens. Do this ye solons and you
will give us all a home and allow
us to get what is ours. We say.do
this for your poor people and your
act of kindness justice and hu-
manity will stand pleading in your
behalf on tho great judgment day
before Him who is so just and
m ercif ul . Ad vocate.
Thomas J. Thornton.
The sentence of Thos. J. Thorn-
ton to be hanged Oct. 9th for tho
murder of John Ortner was a se-
vere trial to the prisoner.
In passing sentence the court
said: Tho evidence in vour case
shows you shot your brother-in-law
in a wanton and unprovoked
way. Your action evidences great
recklessness great wickedness.and
great malice and such disregard of
human life as to exhibit that you
have a heart void of social duty
and a mind fatally bent on mischief.
The testimony shows you shot John
Ortner in the back while he had his
hand on the door knob. Evident-
ly he was trying to escape fromyou
at the time he was killed. There
was no use whatever for the kill-
ing. The verdict of the jury from
the nature of the evidence and the
law applicable to it. is a just and
correct one. They could not have
found otherwise than they did and
have performed their duty to the
country its laws and its people.
ine verdict is one which must
have followed the evidence in your
case.
Your life has not been what it
ought to have been. I am sorry
to say your actions in the past as
well as in tho killing of Ortner
were of a character to show you
to be a man of blood a man with-
out regard for human life. Facts
have come to the knowledge of
tue court snowing that 13 years
ago at Southwest City Mo. you
hid behind some cord wood near a
mill leading towards our home
and when a man by the name of
Franks came along you shot him
from your place of concealment.
You then fled so the officers of the
law and friends of the murdered
man ' knew not of your where-
abouts. Justice is sometimes
tardy but it will at last overtake
those who offend it by the com-
mission of great crimes. It is so
ordained that no man can commit
even a wrong of the slightest char-
acter much less a great crime
without ayiiiK some penaltv. Ho
must mke atonement for his
crimes to man as well as to God.
He cannot escape this though he
may sometimes evade justice fool
juries and cheat the law. God has
so willed it that man must answer
for every wrong every crime.
Your greatest duty is now to
vourself.

Death or Col. John Carroll.
Col. John T. Carroll one of the
best known men in Northwest Ar-
kansas died at Eureka Springs on
the morning of Saturday the 24th.
He was 62 years of age. His lun-
eral took place on the following
day and was attended by an im-
mense concourse of people. Col.
Corroll had been a resident of Ar-
kansas since 1S65. He was born
in tho stato of Virginia but the
early years of his life were spent
in the old Cherokee nation east of
the Mississippi. In 1S5S his father
came west with tho Cherokees and
settled at Fort Gibson. The sub-
ject of this sketch lived with the
Cherokees until 1853 marrying a
full-blooded Cherokee lady. In
that year he moved to Missouri.
When the war broke out he joined
his fortunes with those of the con-
federate army serving throughout
the entire struggle and participat-
ing in a number of battles. Before
the close of the war he reached the
rank of colonel. Shortly after
tho close of the war he settled in
Arkansas. He served in the legis-
lature and in the constitutional
convention of 1S74 and during
President Cleveland's first admin-
istration was marshal of the west-
ern district of Arkansas. He was a
descendant of the famous Mary-
land family oHDarrolIs of revolu-
tionary memory. Elevator.
The Queen or All.
Honor tho dear old mother.
Time has scattered tho snowy
locks on her brow plowed deep
furrows on her cheeks but is she
not sweet and beautiful? The lips
are thin and shrunken but those
are the lips which have kissed
many a hot tear from the childish
cheeks and they are the sweotest
lips in all the world. The eye is
dim yet it glows with the soft
radience of holy love which can
never fade.
Ah yes she is a dear old moth-
er the sands of life are nearly run
out but feeble as she is she will go
further and reach down lower for
you than amy on earth; you cannot
walk into a midnight where she
cannot see you; -ou cannot enter a
prison whose bars will keep her
outjyou can never mount a scaflold
too high for her to reach that she
may kiss and bless you in evidence
of her deathless love. When the
world shall despise and forsake
you when it leaves you by the
wayside to die unnoticed the dear
old mother will gather you in her
feeble arms and carry you home
and tell you of all your virtues
until you almost forget that your
soul is disfigured by vices. Love
mother kindly and cheer her de-
clining years with holy devotion.
