CHoUTEAU, 1. T., May 10, 1913.
EDITOR CHiEFTAIN:--I read Ca
toosa's letter of recent date in your
paper and also read Treaty's let
ter in the Wagner Record, each
Of them stating the claim that the
white adopted citizen is legally en-
titled to an interest in the lands
and moneys of the Cherokee ma
ton with a native Cherokee. In
proof of the same they quote only
from the Treaty and Constitution
of the Cherokee nation. Neither
of them bear the remotest inference
from which to establish their po-
sition. And again read a letter
published in your paper from Com
missioner of Indian Affairs Brown
ing to an adopted citizen answer
ing an inquiry as to whether or not
he had any right to the lands and
moneys OF the Cherokee nation.
Note the difference:
Mr.. Browning says the laws of
the Cherokee nation make provis-
ions, by an intermarriage law, for
the adoption of persons who inter-
marry, etc., and says il you COM
ply with the laws of the nation re-
lating to intermarriage it is the
opinion of this office that you are
a citizen thereof equal with other
citizens of this nation; your rights
are determinable under the laws.
Well, compiled laws Of 1874 dis
tinguished as the new code, pages
223 and 224, part of section 70,
says: provided also that the
rights and privileges herein con.
ferred shall not extend to right o.
soil or interest in the vested fund:
of the Cherokee nation, unless
such adopted citizen shall pay into
the general fund FIVE hundred dol
lars"
Only one man of all the whit,
adopted citizens has complied will
this law, and he alone is legally
entitled to the lands and money
of the Cherokee nation under tn,
law. | will add that the claus
giving the privilege of paying fiv
hundred dollars has been repealed
And to J. n. Holland, who is in s.
much misery: if he has no chill
dren, and can't get any to use, tn
advice of ii. Greely is, "go ives
and grow up with the country"

THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE.

The almost constant cry that we
hear Of late years, that our public
men and especially our Legislators
are dishonest and inefficient, loses
much Of its force when we come to
think that the Offices they hold are
elective, aud that these officials
are in Office by virtue of having re-
ceived a majority of the votes of
their constituencies. They are
just as good and no better than the
mea who elected them. Water
never rises higher than its source.
And when a man is elected to Of
flee, unless fraud has been prac-
ticed, be has received a majority
Of the votes of his constituents. If
a senator from Coowee0coowee sells
his vote, and establishes the fact
beyond cavil that he is a bribe
taker, il does not mean that his
constituents are bribe takers, TO be
sure. Buff this being known, he
is returned to the senate again it
would show that majority Of the
voters Of the district are in favor
of a bribe taker for senator.
We hear much recent denuncia-
tion Of bad government here in the
Cherokee nation. Loud and voci-
ferrous defamation against corrup-
tion in Office, boodleism, ring rule,
monopoly Of the public domain,
etc. Now if this state Of affairs be
true, e,-and We believe il is,-the
appropriate reply is, that the peo-
pie arc snpreme, and they have
just as good a government as they
deserve 10 have II foolr and
knases occupy high places here

ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL
HALL, OF the Interior department,
has rendered an opinion, which
has been approved by Secretary
Hoke Smith, in which he holds
that the allotments of lands to the
wives and children of the seventy
who are to hold land on the Strip,
under the recent agreement may
or may not be contiguous to those
of their husbands and fathers. 1t
also decided that the question as
to whom the allotments shall be
made must be determined here by
the Cherokees themselves, and in
structions to that effect have been
issued.

NEosHo county, Kansas, has
adopted a good method for supply
ing infected chinch bugs to the
farmers of that county. The county
commissioners have ordered repos.
itory to be established in the county
surveyors office where healthy
bugs may be exchanged for diseased
ones. In this way better attention
can be given to the cultivation Of
the disease.

THE question as to the seventy
allotments has been settled by be-
ing left entirely for this nation to
say who is entitled. The contract
for cashing the bonds is virtually
settled. The census takers are
ready to 60 to work. The pay
ment is a certainty. But-but-
but the intruders bave not been re-
moved yet.

JUDGE CLARK and Web Vann,
it is thought, will be the Downing

trouble with Hastings has about
destroyed his chances of getting
the nomination again.

THE United States government
has reserved 81, 100000 to pay the
adopted citizens of this nation
their per capita share Of the Strip
money. This amount includes
Delawares, Shawnees, freedmen
and whites. 1t will probably be
two years before a decision of the
supreme court can be had in the
matter.
