Judge Thomas has been severely
criticised by portion of the terri
tory press for rendering decisions
virtually declaring the Curtis act
unconstitutional. This is a wrong
impression, and unjust to Judge
Thomas as it implies that be acted
outside of his official capacity. A
Judge on the bench must decide
each case on its merits, so with
different array of facts, under the
same law judge may arrive at
opposite conclusions, which to
those uninformed as to the facts
may seem Numerically opposed.
In the Blount- Martin case, at Mus
kogee, in which the Cherokees
denied the right of the United
States to do away with their courts,
Judge Thomas decided that the act
of June, '97, transferring the court
jurisdiction OF the Cherokees to
the United States court was con-
stitutional, in that it dealt with a
political, and not with a vested
right. At Vinita, the judge it is
reported has ruled that that part
of the Curtis act, making it a mis-
demeanor to retain what land you
have legally acquired and enclos-
ed, even if it is more than your
pro rata share, is unconstitutional
as it referred to property, or
vested rights" and was in con-
fiict with that clause in the constl-
tuition which declares that "No
person shall be 4 deprived
of property without due process Of
law" In this decision he is up
held by many of the leading mem
bers of the territory bar, as his
former decision was confirmed by
the other judges of the territory.
When the question ARISES how
community property" especially
the land which is vested in the
United States AND the Cherokee
Nation, can be illegally acquired
by an individual member of q
community, where the land is
held sin common" comes up fol
adjudication, there will be every
chance for very great differences

The reading of newspaper adver.
tisements has become as natural as
to read the personals or local news.
In fact, few people realize what q
large proportion of newspaper
readers scan closely the "classi.
fed" column and look through the
daily changes in such other ads as
concern their own home or indus
trial life. This is a matter of do.
mestic or business prudence as it
is the means adopted by the enter
prising solicitor for presenting his
messages to his neighbors and
friends. The stereotyped an
nouncement has disappeared from
all progressive newspapers and as
a rule the ad contains some news
of real value to the reader. More
than that-the average ad in a
reputable paper is truthful, as
nothing becomes a more disastrous
boomerang than such public state
ments that cannot be verified. On
the other hand liberal and mat
ter-of-fact advertiser secures and
maintains the confidence of the
public.-Denison Herald.
