AMEND THE TREATY,

The esteemed Tahlequah Senti-
mel advocates the rehabilitation Of
the agreement made by the Cicero
kee commissioners at Muskogee
last winter with the Dawes COM
mission, and ratified at the polls
by thevoters OF the Cherokee ma
tion. The Chieftain favored the
ratification of that treaty, and per-
haps for much the same reasons
that many Cherokees voted for it,
namely, that it meant final set
tlement of the unsettled and tan
gled affairs of the Cherokee nation.
There are many things in that
agreement that are really distaste-
full to the masses of Cherokee
citizens, and that ought in all fair
ness to be eliminated. There are
extraneous matters lugged in by the
political hucksters who unfortu-
nately were given a place on the
commission appointed BY Chief
Mayes, who can always be depend
ed on to take care of his political
tavorites, and whose sympathies
have been with some of the most
dangerous characters of the Chero-
kee nation. The treaty should
not be again revivedin its entirety,
but should be amended so as to
deal more justly with the common
Indian whose birthrightis at stake.
1t would be the height of folly
to send that document TO congress
again after its rejection last winter.
The Indian committee rejected it
for cause and pointed out its weak
nesses, and the duty Of the ma.
tional council is plain; it should
amend it as suggested before re-
submitting it.

The Chisftain thinks and says
if the Cherokee board of educa ton
can be subdued the rest is easy.
Time was when the educational
board was the most harmless or
ganization. The Ketowahs were
nothing by the side of it, and both
Downings and Nationals were
fearful of the same men who had
the power to appoint all of the
teachers. Gus Ivey those days
was the manipulation, but time has
svened up allthose things and the
board shorn of its prestige and
power. -Muskogee Times.

A Word for The Recorder.

THE RECORDER celebrates its
sOth anniversary by the publi-
cation of a special illustrated
trade edition of 10000 copies, e
This issue marks the highest
attainment of journalism and
proves one of the brightest news
paper enterprises of its long ex-
istence.
The pictorial richness of this
edition, is one of its notable ex-
cellencies. No branch of news
paper making has advanced so
rapidly of recent years as that
of illustration, and The Record
er, by its halftones and other
styles of pictures, shows what
modern art has accomplished in
that direction. By itself alone
it Is enough to make this issue
of the Recorderwelcomei in every
cultured home and a delight tc
every artistic mind.
Eighty years in the life of g
newspaper, is a serious thing
Eighty years ago a newspaper
was a serious thing, a printing
press a serious thing, the collec
ton of news several months old
was a serious thing-the sub
scription price of a newspaper
a serious thing. But more seri
GUS than all that, is a RETROSPECT
of the life of the Recorder. Gen
erations have lived and died
Empires have risen and perish
ed. New States have grow
old. Old States have been di
vided into new ones. Discover
les in all the arts and science
have been perfected, which Il
have been suggested by the Re-
corder of so years ago would
have sealed its destiny and have
relegated its editor to the limbs
of busted shades.

employing the advantages offered by the
Southern Conservatory of Music
As a Normal, or training school for
Teachers, the Conservatory of Music, of,
fers all the advantages 50 essential in the
delicate and exacting requirements of
proficiency, and as an evidence of the fa>
vor in which the Conservatory is held
by this class, who seek to become master
of this refined art, 1t is pleasing to note
that there is no feature of this organiza-
ton more popular and none whose SER
vice is more valued than that of the Nor
NAL Department.
As in the army, so 1t is being more and
more demanded, that certain amount OF
. training is necessary, in every art or prof.
ession before one can with probity aro>
gate to his or herself the distinction OF
teacher, or leader. And surely. in the
teaching of music, there should be nc
exception to this requirement.
Professor Bryant, Is to be congratula-
ted, as he doubtless eongratulates himself
in possessing such a sweet vocalist as is
his most helpful wife, who has charge OF
the vocal department, and whose easy
and cultured manners associated with A
natural and highly trained voice, condu>
ces in no small degree to the celebrity
this department enjoys.
