A PLAIN ISSUE.

Never before in the history Of
Vinita was the issue made so plain
as 1T was in the election Monday
1t was law and order, pitted
against the saloon element of the
town, and as is always the case
this element was active and ag-
gressive, while the other side was
in some degree at least passive.
There is no sort of doubt but what
the better element in Vinita is in
the majority if thoroughly brought
out. The contest was clearly one
in which the business men together
with the quiet, peacea5le and con-
servative portion of the community
offered some feeble resistance to
the continuance of an outrageous
and notoriously corrupt admins
tratiol.
THE CHIEFTAIN could claim no
higher compliment at the hands of
the good people of the town than
that its editor should be chosen
as the representative of the op-
ponents of the saloon, the brothel,
and the gambling hell. 1t could
claim no higher token of the ap-
probation in which it is held by
those who are tired of paying taxes
year after year of which no ac-
count is ever rendered, to the city,
and which without doubt go to the
support of private families. If the
names of those who voted the diff
ferent tickets Monday could be
printed side by side, the law and
order ticket would stand out as
roll of honor of which any good
citizen might be proud. The line
was never before in Vinita drawn
so rigidly, and we believe that on
the seeming defeat of Monday
there perches the germs of ulti-
mate victory. The people will
now begin to see the necessity of
standing together and fighting the
common enemy from this time
forward. Now we know where to
find our friends, and at last have
been able to see the hand of the
enemy. The drunken, hrawling
mob that stood in our streets Mon
day and contended with our citi-
zens for possession of the city gov
eminent is the same element for
whose benefit codes of law are
written and courts of justice es-
tablished.
The highest compliment ever
paid the writer in his life was paid
him Monday by a man who
said that ''if Mars was elected all
the saloons in town would have to
close up" This was the issue in
a nutshell. Our laws are explicit.
The man who holds up his hand
and swears IN enforce the laws
must either do it or proclaim him.

A FOUR column synopsis of the
report of the Dawes commission
appears on the first page of this
paper and will be read with inter-
est. With these FIVE commission
ers, sent out by the government to
attempt negotiations and collect
information, pouring the result OF
their observations into the ears of
congressman and senators, it will
not be surprising if the anticipa-
tions expressed in the Cherokee
council may be early realized.

IT WAS first thought the attempt
ed repeal of the permit law would
have the result of placing the is

the right to employ nCn-citizens,
under severe penalties.

The Indebtedness Of the Chero-
kee nation is getting to be a mat
ter of alarm to the thoughtful por-
ton of the members of council and
the man who can devise some way
of paying the public debt and pro-
vide at the same time for keeping
it paid in the future will be hailed
as statesman. The enormous
public debt of nearly or quite a
half million dollars, and increas-
ing at a rapid rate, is telling in
every department of the govern
ment. When salary warrants sell
as low as 60 cents and tickets be-
low 80 cents it is certainly time TO
be concerned about the payment OF
the public debt. When we say
''tickets, we mean those certifi-
Gates of Indebtedness issued by the
district clerks to persons who have
rendered service to the nation, or
are supposed to have rendered SER
vice at least, as jurors, guards,
witnesses, etc, while warrants are
only issued from the executive de-
partment for salaries of officers,
per diem of members of the coun-
Gil When tickets are reported by
the district clerks they may be
audited and then, by act of council,
converted into interest bearing
warrants at the rate of six per cent.

The lemon is splendid fruit, but its
virtues are apt to be somewhat exag-
gerated. Lemon-juice is an excellent
anti-scorbutic-that is. a preventer of
scurvy-and by analogy may be re-
garded as food for the complexion and
skin generally, taken in moderation
aud well diluted. AS a remedy for
slight digestive disturbances lemon
juice has been recommended, although
its virtues in rheumatism are very
problematicaL For checking bleeding

Bill, and the belief was expressed after
adjournment that the bill would b re-

suggested by Chairman Morrison Of the

discussed at some length, but the
opinion seemed to prevail that IS the

The change which he seeks to secure
is one which will make it evident to
the country that the commission has
now power to supervise and control
pooling contracts before they take
effect. Colonel Morrison says in his
letter that there appears to be an i'm
preston prevalent that the bill as It
stands gives the commission this super
vision, but that this is not true, and
that all the supervising it allows is
after contracts or pool agreements have
been perfected. ~%,w
