This week completes the
fifth month of Our career as
a newspaper critter, and
we are still on the top side
of earth and on pleading
grounds with delinquent
patrons. During this brief
period our little bark has
sailed around over the tenn
pestuous sea of newspaper
dom and never sprung a
leak. 1t has been kicked at
some but lever vet had to
run in for repairs. We have
been made the subject Of a
few little cuss words some
times, for which we are
glad and heartily thank the
,cusser. Had 1t been other
wise, we might have thought
there was a screw loose
somewhere in the manage
ment. Our subscription list
has grown and is still grow
ing. We have dropped the
names Of some who have
been on the list so long
without paying anything that
their names stood S2urcd,
and replaced them over and
over again with people who
pay or will pay, and the list
is now a clean one, and with
out a blemish. We thank
those who have alded us by
kind words and 9th ?rwise,
and hope that the REcoHD
has and will continue to be
a benefit to each and every
one of it's readers.

choose or slaughter let us
look we'll to the qualifications

rolled Last Year.

Washington. March 2-The twenty
ninth annual report of the board of In
dian commissioners, of which Merrill E.
Gates is chairman, has been submitted to
Secretary Bliss. It says that in the gen
eral condition of the Indians no important
changes have occurred. but there is evil
dence OF a steady progress in industrial
pursuits and education.
The board thinks the agreements of the
Dawes commission with the ChOctaWs and
Chickasaws in the Indian Territory have
one serious defect. They make no pro-
vision for some thousands of Chicasaw
freedmen, whose rights as citizens the
government is bound to protect. If this
defect can be remedied. prompt ratifica-
