SAflE OLD STUUY.
The folly of those Cherokee sen
itors and councilors who are seek
ing to defeat the allotment bill now
eing discussed at Tablequah is bo
annarent to the Droeressive mind
r 1 - j
as to need no demonstration. To
jefuse to paea euch a measure at
this time is closely bordering on
triminal. The same old cry heard
for a quarter of a century "Let ub
alone we are not ready for allot.
ment" is etill heard. It is re-
freshing however amid all this
to hear the common sense and pa.
triotio views of Senator D. M.
Faulkner who in a speech in favor
ef the measure this week said:
'Mr. President and Gentlemen
of the Senate: I arise to say a few
words againBt this resolution. We
lay in this resolution that the gov-
ernment of the United State is
aot ready to allot the lands of ibe
Cherokee Nation at the same time.
I think the act of Congress known
as the Curtis Act provides for the
allotment of the land but this only
allots the surface of the soil to the
citizens of the Cherokee Nation.
As soon as the Dawes Commit-
eion complete the roll it i now
making the Government of tho
of the soil this bill gives our citi-
zens an absolute fee simple title to
their individual shares of the land.
The Curtis act reserves the min
eral lands and under this treaty
or agreement bill no lands are re
served from allotment on account
of any mineral leaseB. Talk about ;
defending the rights of the Chero
kee people and at the same time
oppose the passage of a measure
that gives them what is theirs.
There is not a day but some poor
Cherokee citizen presents a peti
tion here begging for money with
which to purchase some of the
necessities of life lnese same
beggars are the owners of the land
in the Cherokee nation and we are
refusing to give them '.he oppor
tunity ot owning in their own
right what is theirs; they are the
owners of the soil and cannot get

The mother smiles at the childish
game and doesn't realize that it is a
game 6he as a woman has perhaps
played for a great many years.
Many a woman is weak and sick
nervous and discouraged. She suffers
from headache backache and other ills.
She wants to be well but all she does is

our allotmeiits of the surfac of the soon aa she gets her duds on and) ke City the route of equitable clim-
soil under the provisions of the
Curtis act. The Government has
surveyed every eectien of our land
and has already commenced the
work of surveying out tho forty
and eighty acre section? and there
i no question but what they are
urveyiug our lands now according
to the Curtis act and netooly that
)hey have gone so far as to survey
and lay out the townsites over the
Cherokee Nation and yet we are
asked to eay in this resolution that
the government of the United
States is not ready for .allotment
and that we will be ready when
the United States is ready and at
the same time the Government is
makiDg rapid preparations for the
allotment that is pure to follow the
completion of the roll now being
made by the Dawes Commieeion.
They have destroyed all our tribal
laws and we are all aware that the
the National Council is all that we
they are about all on too.
The Cherokee Senate voted to
strike out the clause in the pend-
ing agreement barring intermar-
ried whites from sharing in the
distribution cf the tribal property
Now what has Col. Bib Owen
got to say about temperance since
the federal courts have held that i
is still a crime to sell whiskey to
an Indian even after he becomes
a citizen of the United States.
Epworth University a joint
school of the North and South
branches of the Methodist church
was formally located at Oklahoma
City yesterday. J F. Quillian
was a delegate from this city.
If the deposing of Jenkins from
the governorship of Oklahoma is
to be taken as a precedent 'and
every public official who tampers
with a trust ba ousted there will
have left today as a reminder of ' be legions of vacancies in the pub-
our tribal government and non-j lie service.
citizens are taking possession of
our lands that we have a title to
and the Secretary of the Interior is
leasing 11000 acres of our lands
today and if he can lease or re
cew the-lease on 11000 acres of
our lands he can lease the whole
Cherokee Nation; and the United
States government has got our
money and we cannot use one Col.
lar of it without the consent of the
United States.
The government of the United
States puts its bands into our pub
lie treasury at will and pulls out
the greenback and pays its officers
and we are powerless to help our-
elves; and now in lhe face of all
these circumstances some of the
Cherokee people will say let us re
main as we are awhile longer and
bold out for our tribal government.
It has been remarked that it
costs us a great deal to fight for
our rights and for our existence
and I ray that this is one way to
top the expense of our govern-
ment; and we should not hesitate
to pass this bill providing for a
final and complete Fettlement and
division of this estate among our
citizens. This bill we propose to
pass here is a gubstitute for the
Curtis Bill and is far mora ertis-
Thoce who doubt the attitude of
the citizens of Vinita with refer-
ence to the temperance question
have their attention respectfully
called to the fact that there are no
salonsor places where intoxicants
are sold in Vinita.
There is an unusual number of
boys in attendance at tbe United
States court charged with various
offenses. It is a sad day for a boy
when be so far forgets himself and
the good name of his parents as to
become a disturber of the peace
and a criminal. "The way of the
transgressor is bard" whether
man woman or child.
