MASS MEETING CALLED.
Action to be Taken to Rem
edy Existing Conditions
inthe Territory.

TO the people of the Indian Ter
ritory:
In the judgment of those who
have long resided in the Indian
Territory, and who have been Ia
miliar with its-conditions, it is to-
day in the most distressful state
in it's history. Uncertainty pre-
walls everywhere and with refer
.ence to everything. Every inter-
est, every class, every vocation is
.paralyzed with doubt. The farm
ers are perplexed, not knowing
whether, if they plant a crop, they
will be permitted to gather it; the
business man cannot buy bis stock
with safety because he cannot
know what the normal demand for
his goods may be; the dwellers IN
towns cannot,view the future with
assurance because they cannot
know whether, in the general de-
preston, their ability will be equal
to the burden which they must
meet in the way of paying the re-
quired percentage Of the valuation
of their lots. nor whether this
burden will be ruinously heavy,
nor the time when it must be lift
ed. The Indian is hampered with
restrictions and cannot make sat-
isfactory contract with his tenant,
because of the conditions stated,
nor improve his lands himself be-
capse he cannot know with GER
tainty where his holding will be.
In the administration of the law,
a very chaos prevails. OF the five
Indian systems, some survive with
powers abridged and without judi
cial functions, and some with
fragmentary judicial functions
whose existence adds to the gener-
al confusion. Monstrous incon-
gruities are patent everywhere.
The law provides how a man may
acquire fee simple title to prop
erty in towns, yet, without a judi
cial hearing, be may be deprived
of the rght to live upon it. A
population greater than that of
a dozen several states exists in the
heart of the union, the greater part
of which is without law under
which schools can be organized
and subject to alien taxation, not
only unjust, but oppressive in
amount, and which is levied with
out voice OF representation on the
part of those against whom the tax
is exclusively directed. The IN
sane are without asylums but are
confined in jails. The orphans
and destitute are without homes or
refuge provided by public agencies.
The bodies OF the unclaimed dead
have not even the manner Of their
death inquired into by customary /
inquest nor burial provided by le-
galized agency. No general laws
exist by which the public health
can be protected from epidemic
disease.
At the rate Of progress now be-
The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1900-02-05


to laws heretofore enacted for those
tribes which have not reached
agreement with the government,
present evil conditions, instead of
being terminated within a reason
able time, bid fair to be continued
indefinitely. The prospect not
only disheartens and discoarages,
but appalls
Under these circumstances, we
believe that it is the duty of the
people of the Indian Territory to
have recourse to traditional Amer
ican methods; to meet in conven-
ton assembled, there TO agree up
on remedies for existing ills and
concert lines of action and perfect
organization by which these may
be pressed upon the attention of
congress and the people of the
United States-both alike ever
ready and generous to relieve when
informed OF need-to the end that
conditions. grown intolerable, may
be ended. The people Of the ter
ritory have not heretofore attempt
ed to uni.e upon broad lines of
action nor with unanimity of pur-
pose and systematized endeavor
sought to secure legislation con-
ducive to the general good of the
entire territory; yet the history of
our country teaches US that de-
mands, founded in justice and
urged with moderation but with
continuity of thought and actions
have never yet failed Of success.
We, therefore, request the peo-
pie of the Indian Territory, with
cut regard to race or political af-
citations, to meet in mass meeting
at every place in the country at
which there is a postofiice, and in
every town in the territory Gin
which places or towns INFECTIOUS
disease does not exisD maturely to
consider their interest in the light
of the present situation, and to se-
lect the most public spirited and
capable of their citizens and send
them as delegates to a convention
to be held on Washington's birth
day, the 22nd Of February, 1900,
in South McAlester-this place
being now free of contagion and
being selected in Difference TO the
majority of those who sign this
call as the most accessible to all
the people of the territory.
We recommend that the people
in such mass meeting select rea-
sonable number of delegates, who
shall cast in the convention two
votes for each postoffice in the
country, and two votes for each
thousand, or fractional part there
of, of population in towns. We
request the hundred newspapers of
the territory to be increasingly dill
igent in their efforts to advance
the public good, to copy this call
in all their issues until the con-
vention is held, and to lend their
cooperation in arousing the peo-
pie OF the different communities to
the necessity of putting aside local
jealousies, prejudiees of race, sec
ton, class or party, and of en-
in the mode suggested
to promote the general welfare.

pense of the scarlet fever epidemic that
prevailed in the institution, last winter,
remains. The sum OF Sll 900 has been
added to the endowment or permanent
fund OF the association and much In the
way of improvements on buildings and
grounds has been made.
The supervisor concluded his report in
the following words:
1.-The Association has abundant cause
for gratitude to God. Your work Is far
reaching. Its fruits are increasing
The foundations are strengthening
The principles on which it rests are
eternal, and the future OF the association
will doubtless witness large things for
God and humanity. We must under.
