MY OLD MAN AND |.

We live aloof the dusty road,
My dear old man and L;
The maple trees too closely grow
Our cottage TO espy.
The apple boughs that softly sway
Beside the open door
Keep showering down their petals white
Upon the sanded floor;
While robin sings his CHEEKY lay
From out the branches high;
And DER the easement crecpers climb
For my old man and l.
Across the meadow shadows creep
From green hills far beyond,
And nesting in their shaded depths
Some tranquil plckerel pond
And We hear the mowers jolly song,
The glimmer of their steel;
The heavy wagons rumble on
Across the clover field.
And then the happy girls and boys
AS they go laughing by.
Oh! earth is lavish Of her joys
To my old man and l,
The old man sits beside the door
Smoking his pipe of clay
While he mods and dozes in his chair
All tho afternoon away.
He dreams again OF other days
When we were young and fair,
When life was In the morning
And free from grief and care.
And as i watch ofttimes hear
A faint halfwhispercd sigh,
AS II he wished those days again,
My dear old man and l.
We've lived along these three score year.
In shadow and In sun,
We soon shall pass this vale of tears
Our pilgrimage be done.
The hill Of life was hard to climb
With rough and stony places,
And In our stumbling often-times
Must need sweet Christian graces,
But now upon the yonder slope
The haven we descry;
Our hearts arc full of faith and hope
OF my old man and l.
brush the silver in his hair,
kiss his wrinlSled brow,
loved when he was bonny fair;
My love is stronger now.
We're nearing to the journeys end,
Fast drifting with the river; ~
And only ask that hand in hand
We may go out together,
That on that everlasting shore,
Where every tear is dry,
Wen sing glad praises ever more,
My dear old man and l.

Whatever may be the result o.
the agreement of the commission.
ers in the Strip matter, whether il
is ratified or not, II should teach a
lesson that might ultimately be Of
great benefit TO the people OF the
Cherokee nation. II should con-
vince all reasonable persons that
too much power reposes in our
national council. The power to
sell the homes of more than twen-
ty-five thousand people should not
be in the hands of a few men. To
avoid the repetition of a similar
transaction sometime here east of
ninety-six in the home tract, some
steps should be taken to limit the
legislative powers of council so as
not TO leave the birth. right of the
people in their hands. The great
mass of citizens of the Cherokee
nation have never had anything to
say when a sale Of land was made.
Only a small remnant of a once
great landed interest remains, and
a feeling of uneasiness pervades the
people and they are getting anx-
ious as to the best means of pro-
tecting what is left. We are in
great need Of protection from the
pressure from without. The thous-
ands Of homeless boomers on every
side will be constant menace to
us in our present situation. The
cold, conscienceless tide of what
the world is pleased to call civili-
zation has reached our borders
and threatened to break over and
devour our last remaining patri-
mony. And this danger that
threatens us from the outside is
not all, neither is it the worst.
There is war to the death going
on between the bonafide citizens
on the one hand and the intruders
or bogus claimants on the other,
and while the former are divided
and torn, and becoming almost
helpless in their frantic efforts TO
devour each other, The latter are
becoming stronger and stronger
and better equipped and entrench-
ed as the years go by. No man
can be blamed for losing faith in
the stability and permarency oI
our nationality.

is very easy for a man to be a citi-

could not have sold the white man
any land had they wished, but
they could grant him citizenship
without giving him share of the
land. The supreme court Of the
United States has ruled that the
Cherokee nation has the right to
say who her own citizens are and

accept what the laws and customs

"FORNINST" CAPT. JACKSON.
The Othe: S'3e of the White
Mans Rights Question.
Ecno.I. I. Feb. q. Is

EcHo, 1. T.. Feb, q lso2.
EDITOR CHIEFTAIN I'm the last
issue of The CHIEFTAIN | read an
article from the pen of Capt. Jack
son on the white mans rights.
As the Captain seems so anxious
to hear from the "other side" l
will give the public some of my
views in the matter. Capt. Jack
son begins his very readable let
ter by saying that it is his opinion
that every bonafde citizen, let
his color be what it may, has the
same right to the common prop
erty, and when there is a distribu-
tion all should share alike and no
difference be made" Now Capt.
Jackson is a white man and an
adopted citizen and it is not at all
strange that he should set up such
fiimsy claim. l would like to
ask Capt. Jackson or any other
white citizen where, how, and
when they acquired a right to the
soil or moneys of the Cherokee
nation2 What have you got to
show, to prove that you have been
buying land from the Cherokeesf
You quote the constitution of the
Cherokee nation to prove that part
of their land belongs to you. Now,
any ten year old boy knows that
the Cherokee constitution was
made for the Cherokees. The land
should and does remain the prop
erty of the Cherokees. The Della
wares and Shawnees bought and
are entitled to an equal share OF
the land, being Cherokees to all
intents and purposes according to
the agreements and treaties. 1t
has always been a custom among
the Cherokee people 10 allow white
men and women to intermarr Y
among themselves and enjoy all
the rights as citizens, save a right
to the soil and to participate in the
distribution of the moneys, but
they have never been foolish
enough to give away their birth
right. Now, in my opinion the
white man has no room for COM
plant of not getting all the rights
he is entitled to. If there are any
class of citizens that are really get
ting more than their share of the
good things in this nation it is
without doubt the white man. He
has the unlimited use of all the
lands he will fence and cultivate,
or Craze with his thousands Of cat
tie, yet he is dissatisfied. We
have given him an inch and he
wants a mile. Not satisfied with
seeing his wife and children share
what is theirs by inheritance,
theirs by birth-right, he seeks to
divide and lessen and deduct his
share from this remnant of once
princely inheritance. Capt. Jack.
sons family are Cherokees by
blood and he wants 10 follow the
example Of the prodigal son and
divide the estate and mahap take
himself into a far country and
spend his substance in riotous liv-
Ing. But be that as it may, when
the final breakup does come as
come it must (and II begins 10 look
like it was not far off from the
reckless way the government is
being Oonducted) the white citizens
will get as much land as they
brought with them whaD they

1HE prosperity OF CITY can only
be achieved through the same
methods which lead to individual
prosperity. There must be energy,
ambition, enterprise, good judg-
ment, judicious expenditure and
eternal vigilance. Natural advan-
tages count for much in the case
of city as they do in the case of
business or professional man.
But if the gifted man neglects the
advantages with which he starts
out in life-if he fall into slothful
habits, goes about unshaved and
unkempt, acquires the reputation
of meanness and niggardliness,
refuses to enlarge his business and
to respond to public demand-he
drops to the rear and the Survival
of the fittest" asserts its immuta-
BILE power. So with the city which
fails to improve its opportunities,
to develop its advantages of To-
cation and topography and to pro-
vide the public with the same COM
forts and attractions which rival
cities offer. Cleanliness is not
only next to Godliness but is also
closely allied to mundane success,
and a community of interests de.
mands the same order and self.
respect as the individual in order
to assure success.

A BILL has beer introduced in

for the purchase of town lots by

this can be done without an in.

schemers are so devious that il
stands the citizens of the five ma.

1T is not at all unlikely that a

will result from the Pemberton
