ceased to be TIE property of the
Indians. II they did, there was
no necessity TO gain the consent of
the Indians IN order to acquire
possession. All that was necessa-
nv was to declare that the lands
were needed for the public benefit,
price, pay for 'hem and then dis
possess the former owners
The only way. therefore. to rec
oncile the question, as TO the right
of eminent domain, Is in that SOW
errignty which Is able ri ct Grmis,
to claim and enforce it against any
other. Positions as to this right
gradually changed hands, as a
foreign population increased on
the continent, and the aboriginal
decreased, or as the former in
creased In numbers superior to
the latter. While in a state of de-
pendence, the right could not have
been claimed b. people-if the
Judge is correct and the law works
both WAYS dependent on another
for political existence or for the
mere favor of being let alone, but
when they became independent in
all things, As they are to-day, it is
safe to say that the right of emf
nent domain is not inherent, .
but that it is in that power that
can claim and assert it.
But il the Indians were ever a
sovereign power on this continent,
or that there ever was a time when
the white mans government was
not, there must yet be some night
in that people who we're here first,
and who are no more now citizens
of a government not their OWE
than thcy we're when first discov-
cred, 10 have some control in that
which effects their interest and
welfare.

to declares that mo person, whose

a defeated aspirant to cover his ex-

The title to the lands of the
Cherokee nation was obtained by

If we take the Cherokses and 9th
sr Indians of North America TO be
the original owners of the soil,
which they certainly were, the
present title to lands of the CherO-
kee nation was inherent in them,
and that which the government of
the United States has conveyed by
grant. is but an acquired one. If
acquired, therefore, as presented
by the judge, the United States
can only claim the estates" be-
cause as he says, the fright Of
sovereignty IS inalienable." If in
s'.enable it must vet rest in the
original owners ofthe soil.
There was a time when the In
dians OF this continent were "the
supreme, absolute, uncomfortable
power, the jus sUmnli impiri' and il
that power has passed from them, it
was not by transfer, because as the
judge says, "such power cannot
be surrendered, but by conquest
If at that time the Indians were
a sovereignty, in which dwelt the

that apprOpriates property with
out the consent of the owner for
purpose that cannot be said to be
governmental, surely there Is a
remnant of That power yet remain
ing in the Cherokee people to pro-
tect them in the undisturbed pos
session of the few acres left them
from foreign Interference.
That the Indian governments
are sovereignties, there is an ac-
knowledgment BY reason of the
treaties made with them. If the
treaties are no evidence of the
fact, because the Indian nations
are, as alleged, dependent on the
United States for political exist
ence, il can be said that when the
first treaties were made with them.
they were not dependent on any
one for such favor, but that upon
their favors and fOrbellrance d.
pended the political existence OF
somebody else.
Lands acquired of Indian na-
tiOns are as much legal transfer
as any, and is so acknowledged by
the courts. The United States
has purchased millions Of acres
from the Indians, but n that
purchase did they acquire the
right of eminent domain , They
surely did not possess this right

A WESTERN PATERFAMILIA5
TO HIS SON.

Well Bill, you're gwine "sIt IN
the great big wOrle to take keer Of
yourself. haint nothing TO gin
you 'cept a heap of good advice
which my old daddy handed down
% me from bisen, and being tried
bv three generations, it will be
about al you'll need in startin out
in life. You haint much larnin,
Bill, but you've got as much as me,
and I've always managed to git
along pretty well. Larnin is not
Away a good thing. Bill, kase it
sometimes makes \ seller ashamed
Of the oil foxes and too proud to
work. You know enough, Bill,
TO make a liven and that's about
all a feller needs here Since you
licked Tom Jones, I am willin for
you TO try your luck among stran-
gers. That put an end to. my OBJ
jections To you goin, but take keer,
my son, tLat you don't put in n
bluff thatseoiat 20 down. land be tuci5
in yourself Thar's no teliin how
much good thar's in KNOWN when
to put in a first-class huff, and to
lose confidence in one OF the main
stays of life is a great misfortune
to one Just startin out in life.
Thar are two things | want to
warn you agin, and that is never
value yourself below or less than
three times above your rale worth.
Ef you don't put a big price on
yourself nobody will, but right
here, Bill, let me warn YOU agin
sOmethin' else, aud that is don't
chip in too much on yourself by
believin' that the world can't get
along without you. Mater in her
works is not so wide apart as many
think. Thar amt enough in the
meanRess or goodness that men do
that viii cause them TO be missed,
when they hand in their checks, for
any length of time, except by them
they owe. The tracks of mean
ness OF goodness you may make in
the sand are sure TO be wiped out
by some other feller meaner CT
better than you. So things are
kept about even after all, and like
the grass on the prairies grazed
over BY herds Of cattle viii grow
again, so viii things move along
in about the same old way, and it
makes no difference who may drop
out.
Thar's one satisfaction in havin'
nothin' much to begin with or in
nOthin' more than the advice /
give you. and that is you can't,
like the PrOdigal son I've once
hearn OF in 4 book they call the
Bible, spend al you have in dOin'
bad, kase you have nOthin' TO
spend in any way. When you
come home agin, which ! hope
you viii sOmo day, you'll not come
worser of than when yOu went
away.
Don't tell any Of us goodbye,
Bill, but just slip off easy ike
without letin the old oman know
that you are goin'. tn be better
that way for all on us, Bill. case
then paTtin' won't be so hard.
