homestead at 50 per centum of its APP
raised value.
The Creek treaty provides for imme-.

IL possib BILE for the lands 20 be sold az
once and the country settled at an
eail IL date by industrious farmers. An
effort was made to get the committee
on resolutions at the South McAlester
convention 20 recommend such plan
TO congress. but the committee wisely
avoided a fight in the convention by

Several months ago j. W. Jones,

Talequah Centinel-- Courts cannot be
run without expense to someone. Ours
cost as SIS, GOO to $50, 900 per year. The
Creeks cannot maintAln courts without
expense. and then they would oply
have jurisdiction over minor offences,
and there would be constant conflict
Of Jurisdiction with the United States
courts. The tribal courts are gone
and may they never return. The prim-
airy desire Of the Cherokee people is
allotment. and all the minor details

port school Is running as usual, Rtten-
ded by both VIII to and Indian pupils.

white children ae rule in penman-

the new Democracy Of Oklahoma" We
are at loss TO know what the Pink
Pop means by the new Democracy OF
Oklahoma, and wherein Il diners from
the common article we have been US

npprehend that tho Pink Pops allusion
20 the new Democracy Of OklahOma'
relates more to the pink frills and
Populistic furbelows that the Office
hunters and pie counter patriots have
pinned onto the old lady giving her q
"new" and ridiculous appearance more
than anything else In our opinion
there are thousands OF Democrats la
Oklahoma who will teach the Pink
Pop and AL other foslonists OF like INK
when they 20 10 the polls next fall
that the old Democracy Of Jefferson
and Jackson Is not only good enough
Tor them, but too good 10 be made
harlot of by renegade Denocfats an'
pie counter Popalists --El Reno Dem
