The Globe-Democrat predicts
statehood for Oklahoma by July
4th next.
President Mctflnley has decided
to call an extra session of congress
which probably Insures the consid-
eration of the Cherokee and Creek
treaties.
About the only people prone to
object to the officers raiding a
gambling den are the men who
happened to be present. Tho
safest plan is to stay away Irom
such places.
The Dawes commission has de
elded to go into the bills among
tho fullbluod Cherokees for the
purpose of enrolling those who
have not presented themselves.
Twenty-three members of Crazy
Snake's baud of Creeks including
that reptile himself nre in the
Muskogee bastile awaiting indict-
ment and trial on charges ranging
from conspiracy to carrying
weapons.
The rump Cherokeo government
represented in Washington by Bob
Owen Dick Adams and Dave
Muskrut was organized in the
brush and Its existence is for rev-
enue only. The whole crowd ought
to bo rounded up and sent home.
Congress has at last hit upon
the ingenious plan of passing 'the
Cherokee and Creek agreements in
something near their original form
then by special legislation nullify-
ing them. What cannot be gotten
into the treaties and ratified by
the Indians will be made a subject
of future legislation.
The Dawes commission will con-
tinue at their offices in MuBkogee
enrolling Cherokees till the 31st of
March next after whicli time they
will take up tho work of enroll-
ment of the freedmen. The unof-
ficial estimate of the number of
Cherokee citizens that will finally
be enrolled is placed at 35000.
After all the abuse that has been
heaped upon Mrs. Carrie Nation
the erratic Kansas saloon Bmashor
the fact 1b developing that the
laws of that state ors being shame-
fully neglected. In the end tho
work is a good one and the illicit
liquor business lias had a check
that will last until the law is hon-
estly enforced or else repealed.
When a newspaper is published
as a political organ it is quite often
tho case that it la a mighty poor
newspaper. Denieon Herald.
That's putting it gently. It is
not "quite often" that it is a mis-
erable newspaper if it has as its
editor a man of independence.
Nolhlnc can be more disagreeable
not to say agonizing to a conscien-
tious and sensible man than to be
at the head of a paper which has
to duck and dodge as the party
leader ducks and dodges. The
harshest of devils weep for him as
he goes about bis work. Dallas
News.
Vinita has enjoyed a period of
law-enforcement under the present
city administration so wholly at
variance with and such a vast im-
provement upon the old regime
underthe domination of tho Ilooley
Bell crowd that the better elemont
of the town will be slow to
entertain the thought of allowing
It to drift back into the old rut.
The certainty with which violators
of the law and disturbers of the
ppace are apprehended und made
to answer iu tho shape of tines has
had a wonderfully salutary effect
upon au element that formerly
gavb no end of trouble. The voters
of the town will be slow to turn
the municipal government back
into the hands of the men- whose
former reign was so notoriously
bad.
Mlta. Carrie Nation's saloon
smashing campaign iu KansaB has
brought up the interesting legal
question whether the law. break-
saloons have any protection In law
against her assaults. In the eye
'of the law the saloon in Kansas is
an outlaw and a nuisance and
therefore in default of toe enforce-
ment of the law by IIih proper
oUiuem any citizen is legally jus-
tified in taking steps to abate the
nuisance. The fact that all the
caeca against this erratic woman
liuvo betn dismissed at Wichita
and nlsewliero goes to support this
view as dues also the fact that the
saloon keepers in Ihe towns whore
this rudoubtahly woman has ap-
peared inttfead of trying legal
mentis of protection have closed
thtlr placet uiitl lain loty. Her
aciimi is (j'HHlloaeil but certain l

Tho Uhorokee freedmon wero
holding a council at Fort Gibson
yesterday for the purpose of taking
steps to protect their intorosts
before tho Dawea enrolling Com-
mission. Tho work of enrollment
begins tho 1st of April.
When you hear acroakor saving
"Tell you what this railroad bus-
iness and waterworks stun is goin'
to bankrupt the town" ask him if
ho has paid his taxes. Nine times
out of ton tho answer will bo "Naw
by gawd." Ardmorite.
Tho Chieftain was an early ad-
vocate ol allotment by appraise-
ment as the only fair way (o divido
tho domain of the nation among
those entitled to share it. Thoro
is no doubt of the soundness of the
principle and littlo doubt but that
it will eventually be adopted.
There will be no tillable farm
land lay out for want of cultiva
tion in this section the coming
season. Already the dem?nd for
land by farmers who want to rent
far exceeds tho supply. Last year
there was considerable land that
was not planted to any sort ol a
crop but this year it will all bo
eagerly taken. Last yeat's oom
crop netted many farmers as much
as ten dollars an acre.
Many influential Cherokees are
of the opinion that Ihe agreement
as it in-likely to paes can never be
ratified by a popular vote of the
people. The belief is growing that
the government will by future leg-
islation do about whatever is asked
by the Standard Oil company and
other interests that seek to mo-
nopolize the common property.
Many express the belief that the
interests of the people are safer
without such an acreement titan
with it. It is unfortunate that an
agreement cannot be readied that
would be fair to all concerned and
that would have the assurance of
not being disturbed by future aot
of congress.
The Snake Indian war just clos-
ed in the Creek country can not be
compared with any of the othor
great Indian uprisings only in
point of vivid newspaper reports.
With all the excitement incident
to a campaign conducted by one or
two jim crow reporters there wad
not a drop of blood spilled nor a
single scalp taken. It was a blood-
less conflict and even tho repor-
ters escaped without the loss of a
hair. It is not likely that any one
will even be prosecuted in the
courts and it is not certain tiint
the peace hau been disturbed. To
attempt to try old Snake for treas-
on would be in the nature of a
comic-drama. The soldiers never
reached the scene of war and carn-
age they were sent to quell for the
reason that no such place existed.
DELL'S niSTAKE.
It has been tho remark of some
of Hoolie Bell's admirers that the
Chieftain is unable to give tho
man justice or to see anything
good in him. Nothing could be
further from the truth. The Chief-
tain places the public good far
above its consideration for any
mere individual. Men are only
mentioned as thoy come in juxta
position to any principlo involving
the public weal. That Mr. Bell is
tolerated in public place at all be
trays a dangerous and regrettable
moral callousness among a coneid
erable number of' otherwise reput
able citizens. Mr. Bell mistakes
such toleration for a vindication
of conduct reprehensible and notor
iously bad. He has gained dis-
tinction by shameful conduot and
haalef. no mark of merit upon a
long public career that lias not
been widely useful.
IMPORTANT TO PREEUMDN.
An event of unutual importanoe
to Cherokee freedmen is the an-
nouncement of dates by the DaweB
commission for the enrollment of
this class of Cherokee citizen
Greater abuses if possible have
been practiced in the making of
former rolls of those people than
in any other instance in the his-
lory of the Cherokee tiibe. Every
roll that has over bsen made of
Cherokee freedmen is admitted to
be outrageously fraudulent The
treaty provision under whicli the
freedmen obtained their citizen-
ship in the Cherokee nation stipu-
lates that all those freedmen for-
merly onned as slaves by tho
Cherokees who should elect tu ro-'
turn to the naliuu within Bix
months ufler the ratification of tho
treaty of July 10 1800. should be
deemed to be Cherokee citizens.
Many of them returned within the
time specified but large numbers
of them oatno in afterwards' and
look up their abode and have since
enjoyed the rights of Cherokees.
The roll that is now to bo made
by the Dawes commission will be
willi a careful investigation of all
these matters and tho presutnp
tion is that many will be excluded
from tho final rolls who will bo
unable to show that they have
complied with all the conditions.
The work is to begin CO days
henco and will he a period of ex-
citement for (hi clas of people.

STATtfSHAN BELL'S DEFENSE.
In tho IrtBt issue of tho Loader
n poor effort was mado to dofond
tho public conduot of tho obstruc-
tionist members of the city coun-
cil as lhoBo who understand tho
ownership ol tho paper supposed
would bo the case
In a long vague editorial evi-
dently submitted to other than the
editor for. approval an absolutely
untruo rehson is given for the an
tagonism to public progress of
Ilooley Bell's three and possibly
four voles.
The opening paragraph of tho
remarkablo defense roods: "Those
who have been opposing tho pass-
ago of the waterworks is one of tho
boneflciaries of tho legislation fav
ored by himself."
This is remarkably clear per
haps to minds that are Hooloy
Bellized but wo confess our density
whin wo admit that wo cannot
comprehend its meaning. Perhaps
it is in keeping with tho Leader's
school of rhetoric an evidence of
their new grammatical rules of ex-
pression having been given the
publio some time ago when In re
porting on attempted safe-blowing
at RalolifTs mill it said: "There
was no money in the safe but
books."
The true reason of Staterman
Bell's antagonism is hidden be
hind die assertion that lie opposes
a waterworks franchise because as
mow proposed the sum of 8500 is
demanded annually for the city's
use ol ten fire plugs. Did States-
man Bell over know of tho build-
ing of a waterworks in any town
of the size of Vinita where a simi-
lar clause was tint included in the
franchise? Most cities and towns
that do not own their own systems
pay more than 850 a year rental
per plug and in many instences
pay as high as 8100 per plug.
The Leader article oontaiiiB tins
paragraph: "Abuse is not argu-
ment and this paper will not sloop
to use it." The truth is ever a
good argument and tho Chieftain
employs it always.
Tho truth is what ia hurting
Hooloy Bell now in his effort to
again fasten his tenaoles upon the
funds of the taxpayers and it sur-
prises no one that the Leader and
those who wear Ihe collars of the
would be boss defend him.
"Some people would like for a
town to legislate money into their
pockets they don't mind paying
taxes when the money returns to
their own mill." This is another
evidenoe of the wisdom of the
Leader's philosophy.
It evidently refers to the pro-
gressive members of the council
who aro true tu the people. Are
we to infer that Statesman Bell
and his cohorts would object to
legislation that would till their
pockets witli the coin of Ihe tax-
payers? Those who know the past his-
tory of the members of Ihe ring
will smile at the very inferenae.
The proposition to submit the
question of granting a waterworks
franchise to a popular vote of the
people is a good one and is gladly
welcomed. Tho obstructionists
who make the proposition know
that thoy are safe however be
cause there ia no way open at this
time for sue'ri a test. If there
were Ihe Ilooley Bellites and fel
low obstructionists would bo
enowed under by a vote of at least
five to ono.
Again we oall the attention of
the obstructionists to tho fact that
Vinita lias outgrown its swaddling
clothes and is no longer Ihe village
to be bossed by n man whom the
secretary of the interior said was a
disgrace to his people.
If the Leader is to be believed
Oom Ilooley Bell Is proud of his
publio record and the paper is
proud of him.
Jesse James and the Dalton hoys
were also proud of their reoorda.
OUR TRUE AOENTS.
Ilubt. L. Owen and his assoei-
atB iu Washington and in the
Cherokee nation and bending
every energy to get their dutches
upon the 8-1000000 indeblness
due the Cherokso natiun notwith-
standing W. K. Haleell o( Vinita
and Mr. Turner of Oklahoma City
are the legally authorized agents
of the Cherokee nation for the col-
lection of this money. Owens &
company are aolitig wholly with
out authority from the Cherokee
nation and it is remarkablo that
they are able to get the ear of a
single meuibor of either house of
congress. Frank Bandinot John
Henry Dick and Bub Oiven oun-
stilute tho triumvirate that repre-
sents the lullhlood organization in
ihe Oherokee nation. The organ-
ization they represent is without
authority and in the same cate-
gory as "Crazy Snako" and his
band of maloontents jn the Creek
country.
If the money is due tho emi-
grant Cherokees they certainly
ought lo have and will ue it if
Hal'ell and Turner collect the
money as the contract with them
provides 'ihe constituted auth-
orities of the Cherokoe nation
friends those whom they have
employed to collect the money
und Owen and his crowd of irre-
sponsibly shysters " ought to bo
shown up and fully exposed.
Crazy Snako had as much right
lo seize the Creek government as
tlieso people liavo to go to Wash-
ington and sot tliemsolvrs up as
tho authorized attorneys of the
nation. There must bo a lament-
ablo lack ol information In sonio
quarter to allow these impositors
to appear before the dopnrtmonlB
and tho committees of congress
and to publicly claim that thoy
represent the Cherokees
OP QREAT IMPORTANCE.
The most important matter dis-
cussed at tho Indian Territory
Medical society's recent session at
South McAlester says the Ameri-
can Journal of Surgery was tho
total absenco of any government
establishment lor tho treatment of
tho insano or caro for the feeble-
minded of tho territory. The con-
dition of affairs in some parts of
tho territory is somothlng terrible
worse than anything heard of iu
the dark ageB: tho insano chained
to posts in log hula and without
medical attention; or at best in-
carcerated in prisons with felons.
Those less violent though often
dangerous to the people aro al
lowed to roam about tho country
without restraint indeed there is
doubt whether the present law in
moat of tho nations provides for
their restraint. It is estimated
that 350 of these unfortunates are
to be found in the five tribes all
urgently needing hospital caro and
treatment not to mention the
probably larger number of epllep-
lies and imbeciles who should be
the special waida of the' United
States government instead of a dis-
grace to twentieth century civiliza-
tion and a menace to the commun-
ity in which they live.
(lood News tor the Deputies
Chief Deputy Marshal Frank
Genuog has returned from Wash-
ington City where he was sent
several weeks ago by Marshal
Grady to lay before tho attorney
general tho extreme importance of
immediate legislation in regard to
feea for marshals and witnessos in
the Indian Territory. Mr. Genung
states that Attorney General
Griggs readily saw tho necessity of
sucli relief and at onco interested
himself to such purpose that a bill
was prepared providing that Fed-'
oral fees shall be paid in all pro-
cess served in the Indian Territory
both for misdemeanors and felo-
nies and alto that witnesses shall
receive pay and mileage far attend-
ing commissioners' court dials.
The bill was takon in charge by
Mr. Lacey chairman of committee
on Indian affairs and it wa intro-
duced us an amendment to Ihe
deficiency bill. Before ho loll
Washington Mr. Genung had tho
assurance of both the senate and
the house committees on Indian
affairs that the bill would be re-
ported favorably and there is not
tho slightest doubt but that it will
go through when the deficiency
bill ia parsed. This is indeed good
news for tho Territory officials as
well aB for the army of witnesses
who annually have to attend court
away from home and bear their
own expenses. It will work a
revolution in the history of the
Territory and the benefits of the
change will quickly become appar-
ent in a better enforcement of the
laws than was possible under the
conditions whicli have prevailed
from the officers boinu handU
capped by luck of means to prop
orly perform their duties no
matter how willing they might
have been. They will now be
able to make at least a living out
of their dangerous employment.
Mr. Genung also states (hat he
had every assurance that the cor-
poration bill and the Creek and
Cherokee treaties will be passed as
well as inn oh other important ler
ritory legislation. South MoAles-
