known BY Your Words.

BY your words you are known,
If you use language that is vul-
gar, low, or full Of slang, people
will think that you are low mind
ed. Slang is used by the unedu-
Gated, by those who are careless,
and who wish to be with the crowd;
by persons who have no high asp
iration. Good English is assign OF
good breeding. Bad slangy Eng
lish is sign of vulgarity and low
mind To use slang is to degrade
yourself in the eyes of respectable
people. Boys may think it manly;
they may think it makes them big
but little thought will convince
them of the contrary. Good Ian
gnage elevates the mind, for we
must not forget that language is
the expression of thought. See to
It boys, that you use no slang;
make strong effort to get rid of
it if you have already acquired it.
In the election Tuesday Col.
Roosevelt, trough rider" was
elected governor of New York by
1000 and may now be regarded
as presidential possibility" if
no more. The legislative assem-
bly, also went to the republicans.
Missouri went democratic and
Kansas overturned the populist-
democratic fusion and went re-
publican. Congress- viii remain
republican.

DELAWARE CASE.
{
During the special session of
council in August last you passed
an act which | approved August
r8th, 1898, authorizing and direct
ing me to employ attorneys to de-
fend the interests of the Cherokee
nation against the claims of the
Delaware indians, citizens of the
Cherokee nation, authorized to be
adjudicated by the court of claims
with the right of appeal to the
supreme court of the United States.
In compliance with the act of con-
gress above referred to | certified
this act Immediately to the presi-
dent of the United States for his
approval which he declined to do
as shown by the correspondence
with the secretary of the interior
herewith submitted to you for you
Information. Taking this action
Of yours expressive of your desires
and in order chat cthe'intsrest of
tho Cherokee nation might be fully
protected iagainst1the suit .institu-
ted by the Delawares .underthe
above authority for an equal

Of the Cherokee nation in addition
'to'the 157 800 acres authorized to

gress and the withdrawal Of their

ployed w. T. Hntchings. of Mus

ready Instituted suit, no action
was brought by the Cherokee ma
ton. The suit is pending in the
court Of claims and in order that
you may be'fully apprised of the
nature of their claim, | herewith
transmit you one oftheir petitions.

The Alton Enterprise appears
again without the agreen stamp it
wore few weeks ago. Doubtless
the embargo against its admission
to the mails has been raised.
There never was any good reason
why it should have been barred.

Chief Mayes, in his message rec
commends that all Cherokee resi-

en-. from the roll Of citizens before
the Dawes commission.

A mistaken idea seems to be
prevalent that the lands Of the
Cherokees are already graded
were graded by the surveyors when
the land was sectionized a year or
two ago. The fact is no grade has
been made with view to individ-
ual allotment. The grade of the
soil and the outside of a
quarter section would be of little
value in determining the real value
of the land on the inside. In a
country as spotted as this it would
be quite difficult to establish a
certain grade. Each allotment
should be graded and appraised d
separately from every other allot-
ment in order that no.partiality
be shown.

Swearing is not always profani-
ty. 1t is far better to have your
neighbors to swear by you than at
you. If you are the kind ofmanyou
ought to be, they will swear by
you, but if you are not there may
be q great deal of swearing at you.

With the statement that Colorado
heads the list of gold-producing States
for 1907, comes the curious fact that
she is also the largest producer of sill
yer i'll the United States, although none
of her silver il produced from strictly
speaking silver mines. 1t comes from
mines whose principal value is i'll gold
and other metals, the production of
silver being but incidental. The gold
production of the State has amounted
to $oa, 800, 600, while that of silver has
been between IL and IA millions. The
total metal production of the State for
the yenr amounts to over As millions
Large as this sum is, and ns great II
