The Chieftain is Proud to be Re-
garded as the Indians Friend.

PENSACOLA, I. T., Feb. 3, 1900.-
Indian Chieftain, Vinita, l. 7:
Friend Chieftain: You was quite
right in your remarks last week
concerning the smallpox, as the
kind they now have is not at all
up to the standard of what they
had in 1888. That year out of
18O cases there were 80 deaths.
But of course the disease is becom-
ing more lenient, on account of the
wars and of other pestilential
diseases. Yet, smallpox is bad,
even in mild form. But why
scare people to death? They will
die soon enough any way.
But sir, lot me say that if there
is any one thing appreciated by
the public above everything else,
it is a good, honest, truthful and
unbiased home newspaper one SO
free from prejudice and so inde-
pendent in strength that it can at
all times see and tell the naked
truth concerning all matters where
in the general public may be in
terested. / for one, and | know
there are thousands of others, AIN
thankful indeed that we have one
such-The Indian Chieftain. If
the nation was full ol them it
would be a better place to live.
While other papers throughout
the country seem to only be drift
ing along, almost aimlessly, we
find The Chieftain battling for the
truth and advocating simple JUS
tice to all, especially those who
are not able TO help themselves. I
1t is the only newspaper that has
taken a brave stand and raised it's
voice in behalf Of the poor Indian
people. Although At suffered a
boycott for so dong, the voice Of
the people say God speed you on
in your good work. Every word
that you utter in behalf of them
will be as bread cast upon the
waters and their prayers and
good wishes will be for you. even
unto the end. As old Jip Chou

Oh who. would die for the poor
