THE OHTEF,s oaJEur.

Many, doubtless, are at sea
when they attempt to imagine the
reasons why the chief executive
recommended the repeal of the act
to effect the removal of the North
Carolina Cherokees to this country.
This act is commonly known as an
invitation TO the North Carolina
Cherokees to become citizens of
the Cherokee nation west. The
rescission of this act in appearance,
is banging to of the last door
against them, as far as it is option
airy with them TO become citizens
of the country. AS understood bv
many, by reason of the late decis-
ion of the supreme court of the
United States, it is wholly at the
option, and within the power of
the Cherokee nation only, to admit
them to the rights of citizenship.
Such being the opinion, it may
have been a prudential measure of
the chief in recommending as he
did, in order that they may not
take advantage of the act, despite
That part Of the courts decision
mich, if no other contrary legal
grounds can be taken against it,
seemingly places the question
wholly at the discretion of
the nation. If this is
the only cause or the recon-
mendation, the precaution is
not clearly necessary, from the
fact, that the act cannot be consid-
cred to be paramount to the courts
decision by reason Of its priority,
and the acquisition OF authority
that the nation had been denied at
the time the act was passed. The
authority as claimed TO be awarded
the nation by the decision cannot,
it seems, be considered as q mat
ter of surrender by reason of an act
passed many years before such
authority was acknowledged to be
the nations. Any one who has
made a study Of our national affairs
can easily apprehend why the law
was passed. The dullest mind can
understand, that, il all the Chero-
KEGS Of North Carolina could be
induced to move to this country,
there could not possibly be suit
against the nation on any account
Of theirs whatever. And now, since
their case has gone against them,
there is no interest in getting them
TO move, but rather an interest TO
compel them to stay where they
are, and to make them understand
that we don't want them here; re-
peal an act that might be taken
advantage Of by them to become
unwelcomed citizens of the
country.
The destitute condition Of the
North Carolina Cherokees, and
now rendered hopeless by loss Of
their suit, will, as a natural conse-
quence, reduce them TO not only a
willingness but to desire for re-
moval. With or without law they
could come hitheI, enter the coun'
try and go TO making improve
ments, and no feeling strong
enough TO effect their ejectment
from the country could possibly be
raised for such a purpose. Common
sympathy, common humanity and
a reconciliation TO a mIsguardec
people would put to shame a dis.
position to kick a PROSTATE and
helpless enemy.

George L. Foster, autl or OF
"Se-quo-yah, the American Cad
mus"-a book which every Chero-
kee ought to purchase, and thus
encourage the author in collecting
and publishing other Cherokee
works-is now completing the
second volume in his Cherokee
series. This book viii be entitled,
"John Ridge" a historical Chero-
kee romance, and is founded on
the occurrences of the mission
school at Cornwall, Connecticut,
and the political and progressive
status OF the Cherokee nation up to
the time of John Ridges assassina-
ton. A few days since, Mr..
Foster came across a poem written
by Adm G. Gibbs, a Cherokee
youth, who was q member of the
foreign mission school at Cornwall,
in 1922. Mr.. Foster has sent Il to
the CHIEFTAIN as a specimen of
what Cherokee boys were doing in
that school in those early days. 1t
is as follows:

On Cornwall's low and pleasant lands,
A school composed OF foreign youth,
For propagting gospel truth.
And on this conseerated ground,
Are those from many nations round,
But chiefly Of the Cherokees,
And Angloes, and the owhyhees.
The languages are now thirteen,
Twelve nations here, arc likewise seen.
And students thirty-three are found
From regions OF remotest bound.
But eharity's propituous hand,
That traverses Ger seas and land,
To seek for good and lend her care.
Has brought these various nations here.

She met me at the door last night,
All dainty, fresh and smiling.
And threw her plump arms round me tight
In manner most bcguiling.
Then, in her sweet, impulSive way,
She hugged me as she kissed me,
And told me how the live.ong day
She'd thought of ME and missed me.
She helped me Off with coat and hat,
And led me, st:ll closc-clinging,
Into the dining-rOOnl, and sat
Down at the table singing.
The meal was perfect fresh-cut f1OW'rS,
The freight warm and rosy,
Made all seem bright, swift flew the hours
And we were, Oh so coZy

Almost before we know it.
We sat there on the sofa then,
She nesting close beside me,
Softly she SmOOthed my hair, and when
kissed her did not chide me,
She fondly pinchcd my check, and SO,
Her dimpled hand upon il,
She whispered: "Darling, do you know
