Tho "wild ostn Organizer.

OHourEAu, !. t., Feb. 10Th. 1901.
Mr.. +. HOWARD, Alton, /. T.,
DEAR SIR:-I have yours of the
'7th complaining of a publication
in last weeks CHIEFTAIa and sug-
gesting that the authors should
follow the teachings OF the order
more closely, particularly as they
refer to charity. If the reports
complained Of are untrue these
columns are open to you.
We try as nearly as possible to
1.-Two up to "the motto of our noble
order" and have taken a solemn
obligation to support and defend
its constitution and laws, and
when the same are brought into
public contempt we feel it our
duty in the capacity OF publishing
committee Tor the order to defend
them in a public manner.
The organization spoken of and
referred to as "wild cat" was COM
mon street talk in Vinita, and
we sincerely hope that it is un-
.fue. Res'ply Yours,
q. H. LEWIS,

inferior court businee IVA DO not
use a locomotive engine d propel
q one-horse dog cart; tho country
blacksmith does not resort 10 the
ponderous steam trip.hammer in
order TO make a few small horse
shoe nails. Why then put upon
the judge Of United States
court the duties Of a police
judge or justice Of the peace ?
Why employ all the complicated
and expensive machinery Of a
United States court in order to in
hict five dollar fine upon the
perpetrators of a slight misde-
meanor? There is no sense in do
ing business this way as every SEN
sible person can readily see, and
the Attorney General ought to urge
upon congress such an amendment
to the present law as will secure
its execution and at very little ex-
pense TO the government.
The administration of criminal
law in the Indian Territory is ex-
pensive, because every recognized
or committed offender is subjected
TO two trials, one before the
Commissioner and one in the
United States court. Lot the Com
missioner finish the job while he
is about it and three.fourths of the
expense will be saved and the law
be rendered more efficient and
beneficial than ever Give him
authority TO try all misdemeanois
and to inflict fines and penalties
and his court will become nearly
or quite self-sustaining and there
will arise no occasion to ignore any
statutory offense, but the law will
be upheld and vindicated and the
community strengthened in the
faith that claw and order" are to
be upheld by the government and
all citizens and residents Of the ter
ritory protected in their rights.
We believe a bill can be framed
that will secure all these desirable
results, so that our courts may be
run and all penal statutes executed
with but little or no expense to
the government, and very little in.
convenience to the friends OF law
and order. This experiment had
better be tried before abandoning
the idea of enforcing salutary and
necessary criminal enactments, and
Withdrawing that protection which
now for nearly one year has been
extended over our people with
such satisfactory results.

EDITOR INDIAN CHIEFT4IN:-The
great tidal wave Of Texos cattle
will soon be here; are we prepared
to meet it2 Let US use ali fair and
honorable means TO stop il; no
doubt there will be some that may
become desperate by the loss OF
their stock and resort to violence,
but hope wiser counsel may pre-
vail. Our remedy is the ballot
box and not the cartridge box.
Let those that committed this out
rage be held responsible for the
consequences; do not blame one or
two men. Nearly all are to blame.
Why did you not lease the district
to the highest bidder2 You would
have surely got a larger bid than
fifty cents. Why did you ex-
tend the time? to give the cattle
men a chance TO sell the hay which
they will not need under the pres
ent law2 There was no veto, no
protest, and you have no ex-
cuse for making such laws. The
people will have no further use for
you; we will have new men and a
new COW law. But some may say,
"Where will you get these men 2"
| say, thank God all honest men
are not dead yet; there will be a
new order Of things; the Office will
hunt the men. These fellows that
run all over the country with
pockets full of foul cigars and to-
bacco, making big promises and
always torgettiry to keep them
when once safc7ln office, have run
to the end Of their rope. We will
cut you loose; farewell; "Dennis"
is your name; your last political
trick is played; jack is trump. Be
sure and be on hand ths first Mon
day in August next, and take o
prominent part in .he great funeral
procession.
By order of the Committee of
vitation.

simple one, and if the subjects are
well chosen it can be made very

For Cooweescoowee Dist. Union.

Did it ever occur to you how
ridiculous it was for free people
to beg their officers (who are sup
posed to be servants) TO do what
they want done2 The same rule
applied to your home affairs and
it would be necessary that the
whole family petition the hired
man to run the hogs out of the
potato patch. Teach your public
servants to say as one of old, "com-
mand me, Lord, that I may know

A HiEh-Priced Donkey.

The most costly donkey in Pennsyl-
vania has just died in town in the Lee
high valley. A few years ago gentle.
man from that part Of the state yielded
to the opportunities of his little son for
donkey and bought him q fine one.
To pay for him and his trappings he
bought five hundred shares Of Northern
Pacific common stock, expecting to sell
out on half-dollar advance. The
stock never went even an eighth above
the price he paid, but started down hill
at once and at rapid rate. After a
sharp break the gentleman bought five
hundred shares more to average, but
the price never went up enough to let
him out. He has tried to average sew.
eral times since, but the only result was
to tie up respectable fortune in North
ern Pacific common stock, which
showed him a loss when the donkey
died Of almost twenty thousand dollars
Since the costly beast expired the stock
has gone up three dollars q share, and
il the present rise in the stock market
holds on for . time the donkey will yet
be paid for.
