Editor ARDMoREITE.

citizen of the Indian Territory
at the present time is the
Dawes-Choctaw and Chickasaw
treaty. To the owner of inn
provements OH town lots the VI
tai question is, What shall we
have to pay for our lotsl What
would it be fair and right for us
TO pay! Who shall have the
benefit of the now fast-disap-
pearing "unearned increment"
In other words, lots that origi- /
nally sold for SO when the town /
was started sold for $50 times
as much when the Dawes COM
mission, in the beginning of its
reign, promised that the inter
estS of all persons should be re-
spected and protected.
! will try TO reach a solution
of this question on the same ba-
sis a business concern would
adopt TO ascertain the share of
"unearned increment" going to
the various promoters of the
numerous interests of the con-
cern. Let us ascertain the
capital invested by the
Indian and the proportion it
bears To the whole amount of
capital invested to produce this
"unearned increment" and
likewise the amount of capital
invested 10y the non-citizen and
its proportion to the total
amount of capital invested.
4 Upon this basis business con-
Germs have operated from time
immemorial, and It has never
been conside- eel robbery To de-
maud a division on this basis.
We will call the imaginary bus
mess concern the Ardmore
TownSite Co. To the capital
stock of this concern the Indian
contributed the land, the non
citizen the capital TO erect the
buildings, fence and improve
the lots and the enormous
amount of capital invested IN
the various mercantile lines.
But To iudividualiZe. take for
instance the three lots belong
ing TO W. +. Wilmington on
the south side of Main street.
and which contain about one
acre of ground. The Indians
contributed one acre of land
which at government prices
would be valued at $50 per
acre. and on the advent of the
railroad could have been pur-
chased for Slj-but say -.
which i considerably above
what it could have been pur-
chased for. The buildings on
this tract of land at the time of
the last fire cost probably Sl0,-
/. 600. use the date of the last
fire because it was then that
the 'unearned increment
reached its maximum, and il
T. has ever since been on the de-
cline. The amount of original
E capital invested in creating the
| "unearned increment" on those
three lots was Sl0.025-$2J con

GODS PROVIDENCE.
Condensation of Father Cleary's Last
SUNDAY Sermon.

On last Sunday Father Cleary preached
upon the workings Of Gods providence,
and an idea may be formed of the SER
mon from the following condensation:
The mystery OF Gods providence in
permitting his sun ito shine alike upon
the just and the unjust" and good and
evil to exist together, side by side, puz-
zles our wondering minds, as the dis
ciples were puzzled at the presence Of
cookie among the wheat.
The answer of Christ quoted their
anxiery. 1t must also satisfy our inquisl-
tivencss. He would permit both to grow
up together until the time of the harvest,
lest in plucking up the cookie the good
grain might be rooted up together with
it, God can afford to wait. He has all
eternity in which to perfect his infinitely
wise plans He is patient because he is
eternal. The rewards which he will offer
to virtue are more precious far than any
goods of this life He does not remem-
Der the fidelity, Of his servants by giving
the goods of earth as their reward. The
irreligious mans worldly affairs may
prosper as we'll as the business affairs of
the most devout, faithful servant of his
divine master Bit the wicked should
never forget tine time of the harvest. y
The day of final accounting will infalhbly
come. Goods words will not pass away
The evil doer may succeed in escaping
the vengeance Of wronged fellow-rnan.
He cannot escape the consequences OF his
neglect of Gods law and his disregard of
duty of God.
