Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1897-02-18

based upon Information furnished
by the Dawes commission as It was
putting into force an obligation Of
the government entered into years
ago, and il was the chief work Of
the commission for the past year
to designate who we're really in
truders, and who should be re-
moved from the country as such.
The secretary's order, had it been
enforced to the letter as Issued
would have cleared the country of
nine-tenths of the non-citizen pop
ulation, the greater portion OF
whom are here in the employ of
the Indians, and who are not des-
ignated now nor never were, as in
truders and subject to removal.
II is worthy of note that the Dawes
commission were in Washington
and in almost daily consultation
with the secretary at the time the
order was issued. To those who
have watched the progress of the
work Of the commission from the
beginning, and who understand
fully the situation here, il is lit
tie exasperating TO see so many
blunders made in the very face Of
palpable facts.
The citizens of these tribes have
just grounds for anxiety along this
line, which can be readily appre-
ciated when it is understood that
their homes, and their individual
interest in the common property
Of the tribe to which they belong
are involved.
The Dawes commission is, not
withstanding, better qualified for
the work now than any other com.
mission could possibly be without
the same opportunities, and the
years Of work among the Indians
that have given its members their
knowledge of the subject in hand.
The lands of these Indians are
soon to be allotted, and the failure
of the dotting of an i, or the cross
ing of t, might result disastrous
ly to some poor Indian who there
by might be rendered homeless,
by being turned out of his own
home.
Let us hope for the better, and
when the Dawes commission re-
turns to this country give them
every facility for gaining the full
est possible Information relative to
our affairs generally.

THE great need Of better roads
leading from the country adjacent
10 this town was never more obvi-
Gus than at the present. For the
last two weeks the roads and
streets have been simply impass-
ible for loaded wagons, and az
consequence farmers have been
kept away from town with their
produce, and the direct loss in dol
lars and cents TO the business of
the town has been inestimable.
Tho amount that it would cost to
build bridges over the near by
creeks on either side of this city
would be capital investment for
the business men and residents of
the place. we must do something
TO encourage and hold the trade Of
the farmers or else suffer the con-
sequences of having them go else
where.

SHOULD BE BETTER INFORMED.

As to what will be the outcome
Of the labors of the Dawes commits
sion in this country is a matter
that is sbrouded in deep mystery.
1t is a matter upon which the com
mission itself could throw little or
no light. Many Of the best law
yers of the country declare from q
legal view Of the subject that the
work of the commission will not
stand the test of the courts, and
that even should their work be ap-
proved by congress, that it will re-
suit in endless litigation.
The Dawes commission began
its labOrs among the five tribes un-
der some what adverse circum-
stances, and it may be added with
a limited knowledge Of the tangled
condition OF affairs in the Indian
nations Of this territory. The com
mission gained information rapid
ly, and it might be added, it gained
a vast amount OF misinformation.
The sources from which the com
mission drew q large portion Of the
first and second reports TO congress
were undoubtedly unreliable.
The general condition Of affairs in
the Indian Territory were stated
with marvellous accuracy, but
when II undertook to state the
minutia an undoubtcd failure was
made. With the exception of one
member, (McKennon) all come
with preconceived notions which
were incorrect, but have been re-
tained with remarkable tenacity.
As one Of the abundant proofs OF
these assertions, Il may be stated,
Ahe recent sweeping order Of the
secretary Of the interior is an sx'
ample. That order was doubtless

The Newspaper Man.

A newspaper man is the only
one in all the world who has q good
time, when he gets used TO it. He
meets all sorts Of people and be-
comes well acquainted with them.
He is the only man who finds out
just how many different kinds Of
people there are. He learns peo-
pie, and knows just how TO take
them. A newspaper man has been
accused of having nerve. 1t is a
mistake. He is just as often ac-
cused of having an elastic con-
science. That is a mistake also.
newspaper man, to get along in
life and be happy, to enjoy his
profession and be at peace, can
have neither nerve nor conscience.
An automatic sort OF a creature, he
must be dead to the world, and
yet alive to what the world is do
ing. if he had nerve, it would
wear out by the constant strain
which tests it every day. If he
bad a conscience, he would be
mobbed for telling the whole truth
about some things which come TO
his notice several times during his
daily rounds. If he had pride. il
would make him vain when he re-
ceives the commendation of those
he has befrlended, and it would
humiliate him when he receives
the 'roasts' of those he has roast
ed He must be without soul,
conscience, pride or nerve, or quit
his job.
He must be content 10 be abused.
He is evsrybody's property. He
must be as deaf to the praise Of
Mr.. Smith, as to the cuss words OF
Mr.. Jones, when he has said some
thing nice about Smith and Jones
gets mad at it. If, per chance,
some citizen does not get on his
ear and commit murder; or tired Of
living and commit suicide; if the
railroad company naliciously runs
its trains through without a wreck;
il there is no conhagration; no
death or pestilence; if the people
are content TO stay at home and
not blow in their money for rail-
road fare and leave the city, the
newspaper man is TO blame for il &.
And when the people pick up the
paper and see none of these things
recorded, they throw it down and
declare there is nothing worth
reading.' Then the newspaper
man gets roasted 10 the proper
time.
But he must not be affected by
it. He must be good natured. He
must go about the streets without
needing the fact that people call
him a chump or any other bad
name They will take it back
some day. They will come around
and tell him he is all right. Then
the newspaper man must act like
he is pleased and pretend that he
believes all they say. OF course
the newspaper man knows they
want a favor, but that makes no
difference. He must smile and
make them believe that he is not
dead onto them The newspa-
per man must expect no reward on
earth. He will get il in heaven.

That is, reserve in each case the
mineral deposits for the benefit and
use OF the nation, and not appor-
ton them TO the individual allot-
tees Many questions and contro-
versies concerning leases hitherto
made, some of which are being OPP
Grated and have been recognized by
the tribal governments, are not
treated of in the bill, other than
that the payment or collection Of
individual "royalty on stone, coal
or other minerals, or any timber or
lumber" is prohibited. This is as
it should be. Those difficulties
can be adjusted hereafter.
The Dawes commission was d.
rected by congress OF its last ses-
sion "to NJ ske full report TO con
gress of tribal and individual
leases, with the area, amount and
value Of the property leased, and
the amount received therefor, by
whom and from whom said prop
erty is leased" and will, no doubt,
proceed to perform that duty 80
soon as it returns to the territory.
The members of the commission
are now in Washington, in compli-
ance with my call, and can be of
valuable assistance to your COM
mittee in giving information con-
cerning the situation in the Indian
Territory. Delegations from most
Of the tribes are now in Washing

confidence in the integrity and eff
cheney of the Dawes commission
and manifest a willingness TO nego.
tiate with that commission.
suggest that the limit of two
years which the bill fixes on the
duration of a farm lease is not suf-
ficient to enable a lessor to procure
good tenant, and recommend that
the time be extended to four years.
Section IL authorizes the COM
mission to set apart lands for
townsites where towns are now To-
Gated and at such other places as
they may select, but prohibits the
setting apart of land for q new
town nearer than three miles to an
existing town. In my judgment
this distance should be increased
and the three. mile limit should be
made five miles, if not ten.
