THE TITLE JUDGMENT.
Efforts to Enforce Payment
of About $4,000.

The Title Judgment against
the town of Downingville has
again bobbed serenely up. An
attorney of this city is now at
work preparing the case for the
courts and in due time a suit will
be filed against the incorporated
town of Vinita. The history of
Mr.. Titles judgment, aggregat-
ing about 81, 900, is well known.
The judgment was obtained in
the Cherokee tribal courts as dam
ages for cider spilled by the sh heriff
of the district. assisted by the
marshal of the town.
Under the Curtis law the case
may be reopened and tried upon
its merits.

His Painful Blunder.

After a long and tiresome wran-
gle over the admissibility of the
question, the attorney for the
aefense turned to the shorthand
porter.
Il will ask you to read that
question over again."
The reporter, who had been
scribbling aimlessly during the ar
gument, picked up pad of paper
that lay before him and absent
mindedly, read:
"At the time this took place
did you-O, my darling Settie,
you don't know how | miss you
Then he blIglIsIhed, IlII hastily picked
up the other pad, and read the
question IN full, while the law
yers titteEed, and the big juryman
in the end seat shook his fat sides
and stuffed his handkerchief into
his mouth. Chicago Tribune.

TOWN LOT PROVISION.
Correspondent Has Helped Build no
Towns, Evidently.

EDITOR CHIEFTAIN:-The secre-
tary OF the interior says the laying
off of townsites here among the
Indians is the most difficult prob
lem that the Dawes commission
have to deal with. This opinion
on the part of the honorable secre-
tary results from the fact, prob
ably. that he has neglected to quail
ify himself, when boy, in the art
OF ciphering. The problem is not
difficult at all. Letu figure on it
just little.
Here is Mr.. A; he has town
lot which is worth ten thousand
dollars. This lot belongs to the
Cherokee people; but the Curtis
law, which is the Downing plat
form, proposes to give this lot to
Mr.. A for half price. Mr.. A will
deposit 5000 in the United States
treasury to the credit of the Chero-
kee nation; he can have warranty
deed in fee simple to the whole
lot. But the other S5000-where
does that go? Down into Mr.. AS
own pocket. Whose money is it?
The Cherokee peoples money.
Then we have $500 of the peo-
ple's money gone down into this
man AS pocket. What kind..of a
transaction do you call that? Is
it fair and honest to take these
peoples property and give it away
to other parties in that manner?
No; it Is not honest, how could it
be? To take another mans prop
erty from him without his consent
can't be anything but either steal
ing, or robbery. But who is it
that is doing all this? Why, the
government of the United States.
No; not SO Civitas peccare non
potest-the state can do no wrong.
Here there is reducteo ad abser-
chuma-a free moral agent doing
wrong, and that without turpitude,
or even the stain of dishonor.
0, true, true. true, Mr.. Secre-
tary Of the interior; sure enough,
the Dawes commission have got
puzzling problem to deal with, one
that may we'll cause them to
"worry. Too-eU
The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1899-07-14

Vinita has more money and
more wealth than any town in the
territory, is an expression heard
everywhere. Good sense, conser-
vative business methods and no
"joints" are the moving causes in
our happy, prosperous condition.
Her debtors are everywhere.
There is hardly a town in the
Northern district which is not in
debted to Vinita's citizens for some
of her prosperity and growth, and
they still have an abundance Of
money to invest here and else
where in the Cherokee nation
when property rights are settled
and our status ascertained. We
will have to persevere save money,
improve our own condition, so
that our banks continue in the
front rank, and abide.our time till
congress removes the cloud caused
by its own mistakes and certainty
in titles is assured. Then the
towns in the Cherokee nation will
give an example of what prosper
ity is when founded upon solid
financial basis instead Of wind and
speculation.

Cattle for Cuba.

The U. S. government has de-
cided to admit $4,000 cattle into
Cuba free of duty. These are for
breeding purposes only. The
cabinet SO decided yesterday.
When Cuba gets another $4,000
cattle that island will be better
stocked than 1t ever has been and
probably from that time forward
and for some<years the Cuban cat
tls trade will be local.

NO CREDIT TO TULSA.
Exhibition of Violence Ger
tainly Unwarranted.

The account given by all who
attended the ball game at Tulsa
corresponds with the story printed
in yesterdays Daily Chieftain in
all essential details. though "the
half had not been told" That a
civilized community should toler-
ate such lawless conduct on the
part Of any OF its citizens on such
an occasion seem incredible. Our
people came away from Tulsa
with the indelible idea that ruffian-
ism runs unchecked and unhind-
cred in that city, and that the
peaceable, law abiding citizen is in
hopeless minority there. 1t is
now easy to understand why a
United States commissioner few
months ago found it necessary to
leave Tulsa and make his home
elsewhere in order to protect his
life. Even the strong arm of the
law was not sufficient to protect
the person and life of the Judge OF
one of its courts in at least one
town in the Indian Territory.
The Daily Chieftain does not
feel called upon to espouse the
cause of baseball club. or of any
irresponsible faction of-its citizens,
but as an abstract proposition it
protests against the shameful treat
ment accorded those who on invi-
tation of Tulsa went TO that city
this week as friends and guests
and who we're met with insults and
disrespect from the moment they
arrived there till their departure.
The Muskogee Times is making
a tremendous roar at the Wichita
Beacon for stealing its matter.
Now we would like to whisper in
the ear of the esteemed Times the
information the knowledge that
the Beacon is pirate is not news
to the newspapers of the Indian
Territory. AS long ago as two
years, at the meeting of the press
association at Atoka, resolutions
were unanimously passed con-
demning the unprofessional and
dishonest practices of said Beacon.
The remedy suggested at that
time was Immediately put into
practice by one paper at least
namely, the cutting off of the
pirate from the exchange list.
We suggest that the Times 60 and
do likewise.

CLINE. where nature Is alert and man is
slow
In 1885. when Rev. w. T. Hundley went
TO Gainesville. there was perhaps not a
Baptist Young Peoples Union In The
state. He at once organized a union In
his own church, and was appointed trans
Dortation leader OF the State, in which
capacity he edited a column on young
peoples work in the Florida Baptist Wit
ness.

president, and Rev. J. Il. Oates, OF Ocaia,
temporary secretary. and were empower
ed by the convention TO organize q sAate
Union at an early date. The organization
was effected at Jacksonville in April, 1897.
There have been two State rallies held
since then-one at Tampa in January
1928, and one at Madison. in November
ls9S. In March, 1882 the State Executive
Committee met at Sanford and organized
the State into four districts, with the
purpose of holding four rallies in each
district during the conventional year.
The annual State meeting Is held in con-
nection with the Baptist State Conven-
ton. This plan does not meet the needs,
Il is said, and must eventually be aban-
doned.
The work has grown. There are at pres
ent lust fifty local unions in the State,
representing a membership Of at least a
thousand young people. Rev. w. j.

In this convention there were twenty
unions represented, and the session

The third annual convention was held
at Duncan. 7. r.. in June, 1898. This was
by far the best OF the conyentions-some
Of the most able Baptists within the two
Territories contributing to the success and
interest Of the programme.
Since the third annual convention, the
Baptist young people Of the two Teyrito-
