ViNITA IND. TER. JUNE 6 1904
The high waters and the great waste of whisky at Tah-
lequah has a tendency to make things dull.
. Despite the talks of hard times a piece of Vinita real
estate occasionally brings what looks like a eood round
price.
The democracy of Olflahom showed ni'jhty little respect
for Cel. Watterson when they endorsed Bryan while he
was in the city.
Col. Henri nattersoi; prefers Cleveland to Roosevelt
because he would fish more and not fool with the machin
ery ef government so much.

heretofore V
Caney is to have another paper. Dr. Blewett and
"Deacon" Jones of Welch I. T. have made arrange
ments to start another weekly. The first issue will come
out in a week or two.
The sensible thing to doat the Durnsi convention will
be to let the statehood question alone. A resolution
favoring single statehood could doubtless be passed with
a rush but what's the use?. The thing will settle itself
in due time.
The recent rains have given Indian Territory space
writers excuse to lie some more. Muskogee reported five
inches of rainfall in thirty-six hours and South McAles
ter promptly sent in the information that seven and
one-half inches in forty hours had fallen at that place.

for the nomination. In all things else the convention
will be wholly devoid of interest for the reason that its
work has been done in advance and but awaits approval
which will be freely given. Oklahoman.
Indian Restrictions No Experiment.
Movement of real property In the Indian Territory
and especially in the Creek Nation is becoming worth
while. It is due to a removal of restrictions to a decis-
ion by the Interior department that upon a sufficient
showing the Indian allottees will be recognized as capable
of caring for his own property. The removal of tenure
in mortmain there is now comparatively simple of accom
piishment. The result is an influx of people who will
develop the country.
And while there is no dobut in the minds of the neigh
bors or Indian allottees that a great majority of them
are capable of selling their lands and caring for the pro
ceeds the Eastern press takes a view of the matter that
it is an experiment calculated to determine an important
question iu our Indian citizenship. The New York Post
says:
"The chnnces are that 90 per cent of the Indian citi
zens of the Territory will either of their own initiative
or at the instigation of whites or whiter Indians apply
for the right to alienate their land. The work of sorting
out the expedient from the inexpedient cases the right
from the wrong will put the machinery of Indian estab
lishment to a supreme test in the domains both of intel-
ligence and of morals. If the experiment succeeds and
it seems practicable to exercise discretion in the selection
of capable from incapable Indians the movement will
spread.' This idea lias been so long a hobby with a multi-
tude of whites some genuine friends of the Indiansand
others who love nothing but his land that it needs only
this scrt of an impulse to extend soon overevery reserva
tion in the United States."
But the Post overlooks the proposition that the Indians
of Indian Territoiy have long been civilized. They were
called the "Five Civilized Tribes" longberore they came
to make their home in the Indian Territory. They are
not reservation Indians and they have been self-support
ing lor years lliey have accumulated property on the
tribal lands long held in common and in such state that
the individual was at the mercy of his more grasping and
resourceiui ieuow wno tooK ana maintained posssession
of more than his rightful share of the common land.
It is no experiment in the Indian Territory. As large
a per centage of the Five Civilized Tribes are capable of
caring fo their own as there is of their neighbors of
white ancestry in the adjoining states. But it may. be
come the forerunner of a like plan among less progressive
Indians and to that extent be an experiment. Oklahoma

Though countless years were mine to live;
Though wealth and honor at my door
Stand waiting; earth's best gifts were mine;
Though I naif ht roam from shore to shore
Surfeited of all the gods may give
Of love of joyous revelry
They of my bon my flesh might win
The highest fame make glad the eye
And yet within encompassed by
One single word one thought ah yet
Greater than all though ages pass
One ever-present thought Regret.

I he most interesting and spectacular performance of
the season will be Ic the Democratic National Conven- j
tion at St. Louis nex ; month. From call to order to ad
journment it will be ii continuation of struggles with
the result always in doubt. No attraction at the World's
Fair or on the Pike will draw so large a crowd as the
convention and none are so well worth seeing. Phoenix.
The forthcoming republican national convention which
is less than three weeks away will probably be the
tamest affair of its kind in the history of the nation.
There will be nothing for the delegates to do after they
get there but ratify the work already performed. Iloose-
vc!t will be named by acclamation the platform adopted
as already prepared and the cheericg- indulged in when
the signal is given. The only element of uncertainty
about it is the choice of the convention for second place.
Here instead of a contest for the place is a wild scram-
ble to get away from it making it necessary for the con-
vention to capture and hog-tie the man whom it ricks on
