EDITOR CHIEFTAIN:-As the day
of election is drawing nigh, it is
necessary that the above classes of
citizens take some decided steps in
electing the candidate TO the chief
tainship, who will give them the
rights guaranteed them by treaty,
and the compact agreements. In
taking such steps there may be
division among them as 10 who
they will support for chief. They
should ever bear in mind that by
them supporting the two political
parties equally heretofore has pre-
vented them from securing their
rights at the polls. The sad les
sons Of experience should suffice
to plainly show them that it is
about time to change their tactics
and vote solidly for that candidate
for chief who will promise them in
black and white, that he will rec
ommand for legislative action, in
case he is elected, those measures
that will be pacific and have a
tendency TO harmonize the citizens
of this nation, as well as recon-
mend in his annual messages legis-
lation looking TO a guarantee and
free participation in all the rights,
as "native Cherokees." Delay in
this matter is dangerous, and det-
rimental TO the vital interests of
the above classes of citizens. Let
the above mentioned classes of
citizens send delegates 10 Hon. Joel
b. Mayes, the candidate for chief
on the Downing ticket and see his
position in regard to their rights in
case of his probable election. He
has filled several Offices OF trust,
and has always acquitted himself
with credit 10 himself and country,
and to-day there is not a black
stain Of discredit, or dishonor on
the public record against him. No
better man could we ask the negro,
Shawnee, Delaware and adopted
voters to support. 1t has hereto
fore been the custom of these par
ticnlar voters il seems TO support
heedlessly and unthoughtfully too,
any and every candidate regardless
of whatever political views he may |
have, whether they may be in |
harmony or antagonistic 10 their |
wishes and best interests. IL is
high time TO stop it, and support |
only such men for the public trust
OF the people as have ideas and |
opinions as 10 the solution Of public
questions, and who are willing to
LEI them be known before their
election, When you neglect doing
this, you only sharpen tie dagger
that will pierce yourselves 70 the

the ranks of the above mentioned
classes to elect or defeat any candi.
date for Office. And how ore you
going to cast them2 Are you going
to cast them in a manner that may
really benefit yourselves7 This is q
question that should receive your
careful thought and attention. We
say in language that we wish re-
peated in the home of every voter,
"vote only for that man who
pledges himself to do all he can for
you, and give you treaty rights as
far as his executive power goes. T"
Council assumed or undertook to
oonstrue the treaty of 1860, and in
50 doing it virtually said these four
classes had no right to this coun-
try, only merely to occupy it for
TIE time being. Our constitution
empowers the council with author
ity TO constrne treaty, but if it goes
to work and construes il wrong, il
is by no means a legal construction,
and there certainly is higher
tribunal to appeal TO in emergency.
If there is not, these citizens by
adoption are in a very bad box.
But the Cherokee nation is utterly
powerless to undo, so to speak,
what it has already done. If it
should desire to expel these classes
from her limits, it could not do it.
Still by these very resolutions it is
inferable that it could do so at
leisure. So if these four elements
solidly unite, and on the written
promises of a candidate, elect him
for chief, and after election, he
fails to meet those obligations as
far as lies within his power, it will
remain their duty to defeat him
and the party to which he belongs
at another election and elect
man who will do his duty as chief
towards them, and the party that
gives them the recognition due
them under our laws, constitution
and treaty. john II. BECK.

CAN'T a few more affect discon-

to be reconciled with a promise Of

There is nothing like it, if one can
carry another voter beside himself.
That is about the extent of a poll
tician's influence if he should be
out of line with the majority, or
with anybody not of the same
opinion or preferences.

A BOOM FOR FORT GIBSON.

EDITOR CHIEFTAIN:-The towr
of Fort Gibson has emerged Itself
into a railroad excitement. The sur.
veyors have passed through the
village and the talk runs thus;
The railroads carries with il the
sceptre of civilization. The Cher
okee nation is destined to be the
first ofthe civilizing Indian nations.
The Saxon to whom we all belong,
represent not only the highest in
tellectual growth which the human
race hes attained at any epoch, but
they rule already over every part
of the United States and territories,
and are preparing to push their
territory farther still. Here evi.
IDENTIFY will be a central point; the
focus for the time being. The peo-
pie begin to see the luminous side
OF Fort Gibson. Let US reason to-
gether: The United States court
here, the capital of the nation, the
Arkansas river opened up, the
railroad completed through the
states TO the northwest connecting
them with those of the southeast,
gives TO the country a commercial
basis, and largely developes the
western portion Of the nation for
pasturage. Fort Gibson with
many advantages invites this work.
Can we say it will be the full
grown flower of the Cherokee ma
tieRE2---Ms-ifsve- cSttap, wheat,
fruit, virgin forests, which cover
immense regions, away from ex-
treme cold and heat which annihi-
late all organic life. The corolla
OF the flowers and the plumage of
the birds, bathe necessarily in the
waves OF light of the equatorial
sun, making this the most desira-
bic country to live in. The Indian
problem is solving itself. Is it
just for me TO say that we will be
compelled to take an advance step?
Civilization my friend will soon be
transported thither ready-made.
We have already men of all Ian
guages, Of every country, various
elements, which are preparing the
germs of the richest growth. Can
the Indian check this progress?
The Atlantic d Pacific is already
linked Every stream in North
America with their tributaries car
rying its rich tropical fruits on the
bosom of its waters to every part Of
the United States, can il be check.
edP II belongs not to man TO read
in the future the DEGREES Of Provi-
dence. The live man rejoices in
this seemingly arranged theatre as
he realizes the new social order to-
wards which humanity is tending
with hope. S. S. STEVENS.

states-rights idea had its origin in
South Carolina and upon that
principle it attempted secession
during Jackson's administration,
but "Old Hickory" put his foot
down on It.
A time came when The party that
put Jackson into power had to suf-
fer defeat, because, like the "littlo
horn" that Belshazzar saw in a
vision, another party came up and
waxcd very great, and celebrated
afterwards as the Whig party.
The National Anti Slavery So
ciety was founded in 1888. and af-
forwards became known as Aboli-
ton party, the Liberty party, the
Liberty league and Free Soil party
meaning about the same thing.
From 1853 to the Inauguration Of
Lincoln, the Democratic party was
in power. 1t suffered repeated de-
feats until the present chief
magistrate, Mr.. Cleveland, was
placed at the head of affairs.
Among the Cherokees parties
have always existed, because their
chiefs and head men became such,
not by heritage but by common con-
sent, on account Of some acknowl-
edged merit. Such being the case
the chances for party feeling, grow
ing out of preferences for this or
that man for chief or some other
office, were abundantly possible.
The first division among the
Cherokees, of which we have any
written history, occurred on &C
count Of a part of them wishing to
pursue hunter life in the wilds
west of the Mississippi river, and a
part anxious to engage in tho pur-
suits Of agriculture and civilized
life. This occurred in 1908, and
was consummated ju 1917.
Next and the more serious di vi
sion transpired by reason Of the
treaty of 1885. From that time
and up to the war Of rebellion the
Cherokees were divided into par
ties called the Treaty and Anti
Treaty parties, or the Ross and
Ridge parties. AS a greater evil
befell the Cherokee people than the
treaty of New Echota-a long
bloody war of four years in which
they became involved-old causes
of dissension were forgotten and |
new ones created. When peace was
restored and the treaty of 1866 was
entered into, the tomahawk was
buried and all returned to the coun-
try Of their desolated homes.
Immediately desire for political
power was kindled. There must
be dissension somewhere and on
recount of something, when there
should have been a resolution Of
mutual confidence and friendship,
md the building up of a govern
nent to the furtherance of these
nds aDoRg--ssif al the people. 'ii Fhe
esult was two political parties
Fhich have existed from that day
o this, with but one material
hange, when an effort was made
o build up another styled the
Union. 1t has served its purpose
which was a very poor one and, as
IL such will, it has become defunct.
The disaffected of the two parties
hat composed its rank and file

,laces, and the two original parties

hot and the issue is near at hand.
look out for a revival Of old issues.
There are many none too good to
