A LEaAL STANDING.

A Washington dispatch Of the
18th. 70 the Globe Democrat, is as
follows
The Indian must have legal stand
ing. He has been ignored by the
civil code long enough. Now that
he is taking his land in s6yeralty.
educating his children and getting
ready 10 become a United States
citizen de facto, there is more reason
than ever why he should be recog.
nized as somebody de jure. Mr..
Henry Hitchcock, of st. Louis, Mr..
Hornblower, Of New York and Mr..
Thayer, of Boston, a committee Of
the american Association called up
on the president to-day. Their
object was TO invite the chief exec
utiye's attention to the anomalous
position OF the Indian, and 70 urge
that the time had come for a change
They asked the president to incor-
porate in his message TO congress a
Recommendation for legislation on
the subject The thing to do, in
the opinion Of these eminent law
yers, is to enact a law conierring
upon the Indian legal rights which
may be hereafter acknowledged in
the courts.

There is a resolute determine
ton to throw the Cherokee Outlet
open TO settlement ON the part Of
many men. Not only is the adj
ministration In its favor, but the
administration has been led to be
in its favor by the demand Of the
western states and cities as well as
Oklahoma, boards of trade of the
leading cities, such as ST. Louis,
Kansas City, Wichita, Arkansas
City and a host of others taking
active interest in this matter, and
congressman of these districts and
states will obgy the call.
The following editoria, under
the caption "An Opportunity"from
the Daily State Capital, Oklahoma,
is one of many being circulated
throughout the United States, and
shows the temper of the times
Thousands OF people are impa-
tiently awaiting the opening of the
Cherokee Strip. There is no rea-
son why congress should not open
it by February next. Congress is
thoroughly posted on the llimsiness
of the Cherokee claim 1t knows
that it has been trided with time
and again by the Cherokees.
There is no doubt that the lead.
ers in congress are favorable to
opening that land at once and let
ting the Cherokees be settled with
afterwards. The decisions of
Judge Green and Judge Seay are
clinchers in this direction.
The Strip can be opened very
soon, but to do it the people of
Oklahoma should prepare for a
vigorous urging of congress.
The board of trade os Guthrie
should have printed in pamphlet
form the brief of U. S. Attorney
Speed and the decision Of Judges
Green and Seay. These opinions
are exhaustive and able. They come
from a majority of the supreme
court of Oklahoma, showing that
there can be no reversal in the
supreme court here. They exhibit
all the treaties and facts in a man
ner uncontrovertible. The brief
of Mr.. Speed is remarkable for
applicable research, and there is
not point missed in Judge Green's
decision. If this brief and their
decisions were placed in neat pam
phlet form, in the hands OF every
senator and congressman, there
is no doubt that all opposition, if
there is any, to the immediate
opening Of the Strip, would be re-
moved. This is a very important
matter which should be talked Of
at the meeting OF the board of trade
Wednesday evening.
The Cherokees should make
haste to allot their country before
it is too late. Their title is good ,
as the records abundantly show
and they need have no fear of sus-
tanning their title before the su-
preme court.

ADVICE no A YOUNG MAN.
Henry Ward Reeoher's Instruo=
tions to His Son.


My Dear Herbert You are now
for the first time really launched
into life for yourself. You go from
your fathers house, and from all
family connections, to make your
own way in the world. 1t is good
time 90 make new start, to cast
out faults OF whose evil you have
had an experience, and TO take on
habits the want Of which you have
Hund TO be so damaging. You
must not 60 into debt. Avoid debt
a- you would the devil. Make it
fundamental rule. No debt-cash
or nothing. Make few promises.
Religiously observe even the small
est promise. a man who means to
keep his promises cannot make
many. Be scrupulously careful
in all statements Accuracy and
perfect frankness, no guesswork.
Either nothing or acurate truth.
When working for others sink your
sclf0ut of si0ht soei, ..t,,eir interest
Make yourself necessary 10 those
who employ you, by industry,
fidelity and scrupulous integrity.
Sclishness is fatal Hold yourself
responsible for higher standard
than anybody else expects of you;
demand more ofyourself than any
body else expects Of you Keep your
personal standard high. Never
excuse yourself TO yourself. Never
pity yourself. Be a hard master 20
yourself. but lenient to everybody
else. Concentrate your force on your
own proper business;dOnot turn of.
BE constant, ,steadiast, persevering.
The art Of making ones fortune is
to spend nothing; in this country
any intelligent and industrious
young man may become rich if he
stops all leaks and is not in a hurry.
DO not make haste. be patient. Do
not speculate or gamble. You go TO
a land where everybody is excited

The threats of Col. A. NJ, Viii
son, of Fayetteville, Ark, member
OF the Cherokee commission, 20
take the Strip at sl.25 and let the
Cherokees take their chances in
the courts afterwards, is like pro-
position he made in a speech in
this city two years ago. Col. Viii
son said that "he would eat as
much grass the following season as
was eaten by the Cherokee Strip
Live Stock associations cattle on
the Strip" When il is remember,
ed that the cattle were not removed
from the Strip last season the alb
surdity of the proposition will be
appreciated. The colonels head,
though, may be better suited to
eating grass than treating with In
dians.

A meeting of the members of
the Muskogee Bar was held at the
court house Saturday afternoon last
to consider proposed new court
bill. The bill, which has been pre-
pared by Judge Denison, was read
before the members and thor
oughly discussed. 1t provides for
exclusive jurisdiction forthe Indian
Territory courts; final jurisdiction
in minor matters is conferred upon
he U. s. commissioners and pro-
vision is made for the appointment
of TWO more judges. Besides these
features the bill provides for the
adjustment of many other matters.

ordered a payment to them of
1920, which the agent would make
upon personal application at the

names appear upon the approved
roll, there being about 200 of these

were omitted from the approved
rolls, but no provision can be made
lor their enrolment until congress
makes a special appropriation for
this purpose. This will not be done

IT will be a great day tor the
boomers when the Cherokee Strip
is opened Tor settlement. If it
could be opened by proclamation
OF the president in the face of all
treaties and agreements, it would
give the average boomer great
deal more pleasure than to have it
opened in a legal way. But con-
gress is not composed of boomers
