COMM ENDATORY WORDS.
"The Chieftain's" Temper
anCe Efforts Approved.

Chelsea. 1. T., Oct. 18th. ls99.
EDITOR CHIEFTAIN:-I think you
deserve credit for the bold stand
you have taken against saloons,
"mist," etc. Every sober man
and woman in the territory should
thank you, for if there is anything
that is a curse to any town or coun-
try it is the Intoxicating drink. l
think more of Vinita as a sober
town than | ever have, and if this
grand jury does its whole duty and
the officers enforce the laws in this
matter we will have a better coun-
try next year than we have had
the last. There are many men
who are really good men that will
drink as a social matter who would
not if there were no 'jOints" from
which to get their start. l felt
confident that you will make your
paper more popular by this step.
Let the good work go on. Your
friend in behalf of temperance,
G. A. DAVIS.

HERE'S THE RECORD.
Well Abide by the PubIic's
Judgment.

A prominent business man, and
by the way, a bank director, gave
it as his opinion that The Chief
tain of late had advocated some
measures adverse to the best in
terests of the town. In his judg-
ment it stood indicted. evidently,
on about three different counts.
Let's look at the record: In the
first place the paper has insisted
on Cherokee children being ad-
mitted to the public school because
their funds were 10 be used in con-
ducting the school. In the next
place it trimmed up" a certain
short-legged government official
for attempting to dictate what
should be the policy of the paper
relative to the enforcement of the
liquor laws. Lastly, it insisted
that the cattlemen should be re-
quired to pay their taxes along
with other citizens.
We are willing to go before the
country on each or all of these in
dictments and abide by the result,
as manifested by public approval
or disapproval.

THE CITY WINS.
The Parks Held to Belong to
the City,

Attorney Preston S. Davis, rep
resenting the town of Vinita in The
park case, which was taken up to
the United States court of appeals
at St. Paul, yesterday received the
intelligence that the opinion Of the
court affirming Judge Springer and
the appellate court of the Indian
territory was announced Monday.
This means that the parks of
Vinita are the property of the
town, and cannot be disposed of
by the Cherokee nation.
Attorney Davis deserves the
thanks of the town for his man
agement of the case, and for his
efforts in presenting the
natter to the courts. OF course |
he decision does not effect the
title in the least so far as the ma
ion is concerned, but it settles the
question as to whether the parks
ire to remain, or whether the
lation can cut them up into lots
nd sell them. The parks will
emain.
