DEATH OF AN EDIToR.-A telegram
Monday brought the sad tidings of the
sudden death of ]. Hannum Jones, OF
the Nooksack Reporter, on that date.
MIR. Jones had just apparently recov-
cred from a long illness. He was 65
years of age, and had been a resident
OF this State the past eight years of
his life, all of which time he has spent
in management of the Reporter, which
he founded. Mr.. J. was a publisher of
considerable experience, having con-
Quoted papers in Lancaster and Har-
risburg, Pa, before he came to this
coast. He was likewise the editor
and proprietor of that well-known
magazine, Godey's Laiys Book, from
1878 to 1883. He was a gentleman of
pleasing manners, and was q general
favorite among his craftsmen.

constantly engaged IA dealing With
the many questions thnt have arisen
Il. the Territory, and the manner in
which he has treated the subjects on
which il has been necessary for him
to report through this ONCE, gives
proof that no mistake was made Ia
his selection for the important sta
ton Of United States Indian inspector
for the Indian Territory.
1.-THE matters in the Territory may
be divided for convenience into three
parts, the first being matters over
which Inspector Wright and the In
dian agent under his supervision,
have control, and embracing three
general subjects, to wit: First, edu-
cational matters; second, mining
leases, and third, collection of reve-
nues; the second being matters
with which the commission to the
Ave civilized tribes, otherwise called
the Dawes commission, have to deal.
and the third embracing the matters
relating to the laying ont, surveying,
appraising, and selling the townsites
in the various nations"
The commissioner reviews at length
the educational work which has been
done in the various nations since his
last annual report, and concludes
that chapter on education with the
following remarks:
"The only hope of permanent and
lasting results, preparing the five
civilized tribes for citizenship and
statehood, must come through COM
plete government control of the en-
tire educational machinery. The
wasting of thousands of dollars an
nually in crude and sometimes vicious
methods of dealing with this import
ant branch of Indian civilization
should no longer be tolerated, as the
little children, the strong hope of the
nation, are now retrograding rather
than advancing Radical changes In
the conduct of their schools must be
made to secure the best results from
the funds available. The great mass
of whites in the Territory desire and
must eventually succeed in securing
educational advantages to their chill
dren. Public policy demands it and
therefore it is only matter of time.
In the meanwhile, however, under
present methods the Indian is not
progressing, and when these fertile
lands are erected into separate gov
ernments, unless there is a change,
it's people will be confronted with a
more serious Indian problem than
was ever before the country. The
mass of Indians recognize the defeat
of the present system, and feel the
evil effects of favoritism for the chill
dren of their more powerful neigh
bors. The condition of the schools
is a startling commentary upon the
past management of the tribal gov
ernments, and the sooner the blots
are wiped off the territory the sooner
will these Indians be entitled to the
of civilized

people are Indians; that the masses,

just determinations are made be-
tween those entitled to share in a
common benefit; that the educational
methods are unsound and untitled to

Special to the Ardmoreite.
Washington, Nov. 22.-The annual
report of Commissioner of Indian Af-
fairs Jones was made public last Sat
urday. 1t is substantially as fore
casted in these dispatches last month.
After a general introduction, the
commissioner divides the Indian
Territory feature into three divis-
consolidation, mining leases and
revenue-each of which is thoroughly
discussed and reviewed. The COM
missioner says:
"In my last annual report the pro-
visions of the act of June 2S, 1898,
go Stats. 495) 'for the protection of
the people of the Indian Territory,
and for other purposes otherwise
known as the Curtis act, were dis
cussed. There was also given a state
ment of the most radical and impor-
tant changes that would be effected
under the act in The administration
of the affairs of the tribes in the Ter
ritory, with comparison of the pro-
visions of the act with those of the
agreements with the Greek and Choc-
taw and Chickasaw nations, embrac-
ed in sections % and 80 of the act.
Section 20 of the act provided that
the agreement eutered into between
the commission to the five civilized
tribes and the Choctaw and Chlcka-
saw nations on April %, 1897, should
become law on its ratification (as
amonded and set forth in that Sec
tion) by the Choctaw and Chickasaw
Indians at an election to be called
for the purpose by the executives of
the nations, respectively, before the
1st day of December, 1898. Section
80 made similar provision foez&he rat
ifcation of an agreement nade with
the Creek nation on September 27,
1897, as amended and set out herein.
''As stated in the report for last
year, the Choctaw and Chickasaw
agreement was ratified at an cleo
tion hell, in those nations on August
"a, 1898, as shown by a proclamation
issued by the proper officers August
80, 1858, and published in said report.
At the date of last annual report no
action had been taken by the Greek
authorities looking to vote on the
agreement with that nation. but later
the principal chief of that nation
called an election, to be held on No
vember 1, 1898, for the purpose of
voting on the agreement. The result
of this election was the rejection of
the agreement. This appears from a
report of November %, 1898, made
Inspector Wright, to have been due
to misrepresentation on thu part of
the people as to the effect OF mega
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1899-11-26

tive vote on the agreement. II seems
that the Creeks understood that the
defeat of the agreement would place
them back unLer their old form OF
government, without any limitation
or interference by the United States,
and that after they found that the
rejection of the agreement put into
full operation the general provisions
of the Curtis act they desired to have
another opportunity to vote on it..
In view of this Inspector Wright
thought that large majority of the
citizens of the Greek nation would
vote for the ratification of the agree
ment il another opportunity could be
afforded them. AS congress had by
the law limited the time within which
the In6ians would be allowed
to vote on their agreement to Decem-
Der 1, the effect of the unfavorable
vote on November 1, was to defeat
the agreement beyond hope, there
being no sufficient time within which
to resubmit the same before the ex-
piration of the time limit. At the
date of the last annual report no per-
manent regulations had been pro-
mulgated under the various provis-
ions of the act and of the Choctaw
and Chickasaw agreement. The de-
partment had issued some provisional
instructions for the guidance
of the Indian agent in the
collection of the revenues of the va
rious tribes pending the formulation
of the regulations required under the
law and agreement for the orderly
and proper administration of affairs.
''In this report it is proposed to
n 70 hriQ ho iOf0 nf
with clearness, the action taken since
the last report in the execution of
the Curtis act, and discuss the ques-
tions that have arisen involving the
construction of various provisions of
the law, with the rulings of the de-
parlment thereon.
The first important step that was
taken by the department under the
act was the location in the Indian
Territory, under the provisions of
section 27, of an inspector with au-
thority to supervise the management
of the affairs of the various tribes
coming under the control of the gov
ernment. This responsible duty was
imposed on Mr.. j. George Wright,
who had for a number of years been
connected with the Indian service,
first as indian agent at the Rosebud
Agency in South Dakota, and after
wards as an Indian inspector, and
whose qualifications for the work
were beyond question. Inspector
Wright was first ordered to locate at
Muskogee on August II, 1898, to
which place he at once repaired for
the purpose of a preliminary inves-
tigation of the situation. On October
6, 1898, he was given detailed instruc
tions by the department., in which
his authority was fully defined and
in which he was directed to return to
the Indian Territory and take COM
plete supervisory control of all the
affairs of the Indian agency, and in
all other matters whatsoever over
which the government was charged
by the act or any other law of con-
gress to exercise authority, except
the matters coming under the control
of the commission to the five civil
lied tribes. Since bis assignment to
this work Inspector Wright has been

the people therefore the adequate
remedy lies In the control Of their
schools being taken entirely from
the tribal authorities and vested In
the government, which owes it TO the
national Humanitarian progress OF the
age to give these Indians, ont OF
their own ample tribal funds, q
practical educational system adapted
TO their needs and the needs of the
times. Unless full control is taken
it will be better to let the tribes con-
tinue tc bear the heavy responsibility
which has been placed upon them,
and which, neither by education nor
training. are they fitted to assume"
-.
The second subject is the leasing
OF lands for mining purposes. This
is treated in two parts, one relating
to leasing under the Choctaw and
Chickasaw agreement and the other
to leasing under section 13 OF the
act. Under these two sub-headings
the commissioner gives an elaborate
survey of the numerous contests re-
lating TO the leasing of Territorial
mineral lands. but gives no definite
recommendations.
In regard to the collection OF reve-
euue the commissioner says that the
department is not responsible through
its agents or otherwise, for the col
lection of taxes in the Choctaw anc
Chickasaw nations, except the roy
atty on coal and asphaltum, further
than to sustain the officers or those
nations in the lawful pursuit of their
duties and in collecting the lawful
taxes imposed by the laws Of said
nations, still it has been necessary
for the department to consider and
determine the legality of the taxes
sought to be collected by officers of
these nations, which has been con-
tested by various parties.
The report reviews at considerable
length the Cherokee hay case and
the efforts of lawyers and physicians
to evade the payment of taxes law
fully assessed against them, which
it says is shown especially in the
matter of physicians in the Choctaw
nation and merchants in the Chick
asaw nation. The department, in
dealing with these matters has uni
formly held the tax to be valid, and
given directions to the agent, through
the inspector to advise the parties
themselves liable to removal as in
truders in the Indian country. The
commissioner continues:
For many years there has been
an increasing demand upon this of
fee for a publication containing all
ratified treaties and agreements made
between the various Indian tribes,
and the United States. Such a work
would be very valuable, and could be
arranged for ready reference by the
executive departments of the gov
erement, by the Indian committees
in congress when considering legis-
lation affecting Indian tribes, and
also by the several Indian tribes
themselves, who are yearly becoming
more intelligent and desirous of OBJ
