Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1895-02-07

In is difficult to see what good
can come to the Indians of this
country by denying the facts
contained in the report of the Dawes
commission. Up to the present
time eastern sentiment has been
pretty safely on the side of the In
dian autonomist, but the denial
of the charges of the commission
by our delegation has led to a free
and full investigation by congress
of the subject at issue, and has
begun to tell in favor of the posi-
tion taken by old Senator Dawes
and his colleagues. No good can
come to the Cherokees to be sure,
by our.delegation's holding out and
sticking to the statement that there
is positively no monopoly existing
here, when the whole country
knows that. it is to-day the curse
of every Indian reservation in the
country.

of Hon. ]. S. Little, Of Arkansas,
on the Indian question. Judging |
from the enraged howl that has
gone up from some quarters, it
must have been a shot that drove
center. 1t was even suggested
that THE CHIEFTAIN should not
have printed il; not that it was not
substantially true throughout, but
that it was too glaring an exposure
of the conditions as they exist in
this country.
The proposition that the facts
in regard to crime in this country,
and in regard TO all matters polit-
ical, moral, social or anything else
that concerns free people should
not be given through the public
prints is an erroneous and a dan.
gerous idea, and is a blow at the
very keystone of the structure
upon which local self government
is builded.
First of all there must be abso-
lutte freedom of opinion, unIram-
meled and unfettered by the in
reference of men or governments.
Every men, woman or child in
this nation must be permitted to
think his thoughts unawed and un-
terrified by the tyranical interfer-
ence OF any man. And when we
have freedom of thought we must
have absolute freedom of speech
to express that thou3ht. Every
individual tongue has a right TO
the general ear. This government
like every government that is re-
publican in form, must rest upon
the intelligence, upon the patriot
ism and upon the morality of the
people, and every citizen has a
right to tell every other citizen
what he believes. There is abun.
dant reason TO doubt and suspicion
the man who would close the lips
of reason, and manacle the brain
of the people. There is every rea
son to despise the man that would
poison the source OF all human
progress by muzzling the press o.
| the country. Men who forget tC
apply the principle of universal
liberty OF thought and speech anC
of federation are a menace to this
or any other government. 1t il
remembered to the disgrace of pro
testant England that religious in
toleration drove the puritans iron
her shores. Let every American
honor the memory of Roger vii
liams as the first grand advocat'
of the liberty ofspeech and of rea
civil and religious liberty, Will,
the authorities of his country stoot
ready with branding iron and gal
lows TO burn and choke out of maj
the idea that be had a right L
think and to express his thoughts
The declaration of independents,
is the wisest, the profoundest ant
the bravest political documen
ever written without any excep-
f ton, and it guarantees to us al
the right of liberty, life and tn
pursuit of happiness.
The history of the world is tn
history of the slow and painful en-
franchisement of the human race
A few centuries ago a ruler bel,

Notes.


Say, did you ever see a ball team before without
freshman?
In Mondays game Frame hit the ball for two
bases Billy is coming out.
The average age of the Minneapolis team is %
wears and their average weight 1874 pounds.
Out of is games played Great Bend has won 10
and lost 5, making 795 per cent This does not in'
clude yesterdays game.
No more gentlcmanly and better disciplined ag
gregation of ball players ever visited Great Bend
than the Minneapolis players. Their exhibitions
were devoid of anything that could be classed as
ssdirty ball." A nicer lot of fellows never swatted
the ball.
The MinneapoIis-Stanfor5 club is SO called in
honor of s. NJ. Stanford grain dealer OF Mime
apolis and a great patron of the game. The club
was organized five years ago and has held its ind1-
viduality ever since, with the exception OF Davis,
who is playing his second season with the club.
The Great Bend clerks go to Ellinwood next
Tuesday to swab up the diamond with the clerks
of that town Our nine will be composed of Willis
BoIinger catcher. Chat Donely pitcher, Charley
Zutavern first Ed Allison second, Elbert Seward
third, Billy Gould short, c. f. Jordan center, b.
L. Morgan left, Ed McNown right. We have not
learned the personnel of the EllinwoOd nine, but
understand that such scintillating ornaments as
Wilkinson, Isern. Kimpler, Sprinkler, Bacon and
Clark will be in it.

Catcher Dawson trotted over to Catipult Kackley
to arrange things. Bennett took advantage of the
vacancy around home plate and stole ina very
clever act. The Minneapolis fans were exceed

grounder to Kackley. who cut off Amos at third
Shaw then scored Gaford's safe hit Agnew
popped up an easy one to Kackley and the agony
was over. Minneapolis did not score again, but at
this stage things looked dubious for Great Bend

US generous sample Of the first honey
ever extracted from the comb in Bar

added the extracting apparatus to her

BASEBALL GOSSIP.

Mondays game was about as rotten an exhibi-
ton of ball $50 far Great Bend was concerned)
as has been put up this season. The boys were not
in it very long at 3 time. It of day. Oc-
casionally they would brace up and play ball, but
on the whole they played very measley game.
Jimmie McMuIiin pitched a good game, but the
support he received was execrable. Some of the
spectators showed disposition to lay the defeat on
Umpire Cosgrove. but his work was impa rtiaI. 1t
should be remembered that the grand stand can't
always the fine points in game Following

to section 263, session laws of 1895, in
regard to protecting the country against
ravages of prairie fires. The board of
county commissioners under said law
must levy tax at their meeting in
August. The law is mandatory and
should be carried out to the strict let
ter. There IS no question whatever
but that our country is badly damaged
whenever it is swept with prairie fires.
Let US try and keep the fires out few
years and see what Improvement it will
make.

Canary Bird and Rat Fought.

Joseph Thompson, a deputy clerk of
the criminal court and at one time a
prominent candidate for the mayoral-
ty of Baltimore. has a canary of which
he has always been proud. He is proud
er of the bird than ever now, on ac-
count OF the fact that last Thursday
night, after a desperate battle with a
rat, the little fellow came out victor.
Just before the family retired to rest
one night at their residence. 1.321 North
Eden street, Mrs. Thompson placed the
bird cage on the side board In the din
ing room. During the evening half
grown rat forced himself in the cage
and proceeded TO devour the bird s
food. This was the beginning of the
trouble. The canary flew from its
perch and the battle began.
1t was after midnight and the house
hold was buried in slumber, 50 no one
saw or heard the fight. But when Mrs.
Thompson came in the dining room the
next morning she found a dead rodent
with its four feet In the air, lying on its
back on the floor of the bird cage,
while the canary was singing merrily
from its cage above. The beak of the
bird had penetrated the eye of the rat.
