Who reverenced his conscience as his king;
| Whose glory was redressing human wrongs;
Who spake no slander, no; nor listened TO II;
Who hono-ed his own words as II ole COD $;
Who led sweet life in pure chastity;
Who loved one only, and who Glove TO her,
And worsbiped her by years OF noble deeds,
-Tcnnyson
The chivalsry of the present. is in
striking contrast to that of the
time of the crussdes, when knights
rode forth in armor clad. Some
times we have almost been led to
believe that the days of chivalry
were over, so few traces of the
olden chivalry can we find in mo-
dern days. Even the noted GAL
antry of the south is fast passing
away. But there is no real pass
ing away of the the old chivalry;
the new is as much better as it is
different. Yes, we say better in
spite of the fact that women often
stand in crowded cars while men
keep their seats, and women are
often found at the end Of the line
at the postoffice window. This
does not necessarily mean that
the men lack chivalary. Coedu-
cational schools have done much
to bring this state of affairs about.
The trades aud professions have
been opened to the women. She
has gained independence where
formerly she was dependent. In
class room, business aud society
she takes her place as a mans
equal and companion. That Am
erican women are not shown the
little gallantries of former days is
a silent and unintentianal compli-
ment TO her ability TO take care of
herself
In America a woman may with
perfect safety travel anywhere.
This fact proves the existence of
the new chivalry which prompts
men to protect all women from
wrong. 1t is the chivalry that
will cause man TO "govern Lis
life and his thoughts as if the
whole world were to see the ore
and read the other"
That there are such knights in
these modern times We know, ard
have faith 20 believe there will be
many more.
We believe this because there is
a demand for this kind of chivairt.
The demand is becoming greatei.
a nan may have the most polished |
manner, and be able to turn a CON-
pilment with every smile, but the |
time is coming when without the !
real manliness the American wo-
men admire and require, all this
gallantry will become as "sound- !
ing brass and tinkling cymbal." "

THE STATE Ot SEQUOYAH
Another Name Suggested by
H. {. DonCarloS.

10 speaking OF the needs Of the
Indian Territory, Commissioner
H. f. DonCarlos recently said to
correspondent of the Springfield
Republican:
"While it is true that congress
may enact many laws that would
be Of benefit to the people of the
Indian Territory, not only to the
FIVE civilized tribes, but to white
non- n-citizens, who form the renting
class; yet if we look back over the
past six years it will be seen that
this country has made great
strides. To begin with, the en-
croachment of the Thite man upon
the Indian domain, vas recognized
by congress ten yeas ago, by the
establishment of courts here with
limited jurisdiction, Then the
Dawes commission was appointed
largely for the purpose of ascer'
tanning what persons of the claim
ant class wepe entitled 10 recogni
milton as citizens of the various
tribes. Thsn a law providing for
a territorial survey was enacted.
The court were increased in num-
ber, and we're finally given general
iuri,dicton and the tribal laws of
most of .he nations were abolished.
New tr,aties with some of the five
nation, have been made, while
others are under way; and a law
has laely been enacted for a gen.
eral Inspector for the Indian Ter
ritoY. Al these signs point to
terri .orial form of government;
pehaps toward statehood. The
white people in this country are
fr,m every state in the union, and
esch mans idea and knowledge of
tie territory laws is confused with
The laws Of his own state and
hone. the laws are irksome and
th people of the territory are
anxious for the day TO come when
the laws governing them will be
2 acted by their own votes ex-
ressed through their representa-
tves in an independent statehood !
With or without Oklahoma; this |
itate, by the way, would be larger I
.han several of the eastern states
put together.
"First-The surveying of lands :
in this country should be finished.
"Second-The settlement of the
claimant question completed.
"Third-That the membership
rolls of the different tribes be taken
aud every Indian citizen be placed
in possession Of his allotment.
"Fourth-Laws providing for

The knighthood of the White
Cross expresses the highest ideal
of the new chivalry we have yet
attained.
Joseph Alfred Conwell in short
article entitled "What young men
must be" says "When young men
become chaste and pure, they will
swarm forth, millions of them, ,and
inaugurate a new social era-anew
prosperity, busy in supplying i'm
proved desires with improved sup
plies will mark the steps OF prog
ress." Is this not already true?
He says further: "Men will be-
come firmer in muscle, stronger in
bone, richer in blood, brighter in
eye, sweeter in temper, keener in
intellect, more courageous in will,
and more manly and spiritual in
heart. They will become more
magnetic, their personality will be
more richly endowed and gallantry
will become a delight and chivalry
a second nature"
Who would not be a knight of
this kind? What woman in the
world would not be proud to be the
mother, wife, sister, daughter or
sweetheart of such knight?
Aim at the highest prize, II there thou fail
ThouIt haply reach the one not far below"

"Fifth-Provisions should be
made for the insane, blind and or
phans.
"Sixth-Some provision should
also be made whereby people of
the Irdian Territory could obtain
titles to their realty, thus enabling
necessary town improvements to
be made and taxes levied so that
the towns can establish protection
against fire. This protection is
badly needed, as the disastrous
fires at Ardmore, Muskogee, Wsg-
oner and other towns prove.
"Seventh-The bill introduced
by Congressman Gaines of Ten
nessee would aid greatly in the
government Of this country should
1t become law; as it would relieve
the district courts of a large
amount of business, thus giving
the judges more time TO devote to
their crowded dockets and to dis
pose of the business Of the court of
appeals of which they are ex-oficio
members. This bill gives COM
missiOners jurisdiction in forcible
entry and detainer cases. As the
laws are now a land owner had
better give the renter of a cheap
farm or rental property two years

That the South McAlester con-
vention is drifting toward the
rankest sort of partisanism there
is no longer any doubt. Each of
the two great political parties in
the Indian Territory are jealous
OF the other, and are anxious to
try conclusions at the polls. In
the inception of the convention
there were immense possibilities
for good, but the leaven of politics
once allowed to enter has Destroy
ed, seemingly, all hope of a bet
terment of conditions through its
instrumentality.

work Of certain attorneys who have
contracts with white adopted citi-
