THE CURTIS AMENDMENT

The bill introduced by Congress-
man Curtis, Monday, to ratify
and confirm the Cherokee agree
ment has been received in printed
form, and while it is not quite so
bad as the Washington dispatch
painted it, it is bad enough to not
be acceptable to the Cherokess,
and if it should pass as introduced
there would be little use to call an
election as not one Cherokee voter
in one hundred would vote for it..
But there isacertainly no reason
why it cannot be- amended yet 50
as to leave it practically what our
delegation intended it should be.
The clause admitting persons to
citizenship whose cases were re-
ported favorably by the masters in
chancery is nothing more than
senseless twaddle, as the courts
overruled the masters reports and
excluded those claimants.
The great burden IF Curtis
amendment, and perhaps the
only point hoped to be gained, is
the recognition Of mineral leases.
The bill seems to indicate that the
Standard Oil Co. has a champion
in congress, and that he is doing
his very best to protect his clients.
The section providing for the
enrolment Of freedmen is unob-
iectionable, as it is in accordance
with the treaty, and with existing
law, and does not provide for the
enrolment of any save those en-
titled, and will exclude all who
have failed to establish their
claims. Curtis bill can, and per-
haps will be so trimmed up as to
be about what is wanted after all.

NEWSPAPE ADV VERTISING
Some Good Suggestions BY
Printers Ink


When man or woman wants to
buy anything for personal or home
use, the columns of the paper are
at once consulted for information,
facts and figures.
This is not only natural, but it
is perfectly proper.
The place to look for news
store news or any other-is the
newspaper.
Now, if your ad is in the paper
it is in the place where people ex-
pect to find it and where they look
for it.
If they are not interested in
what you have to offer they do not
have to read your advertisement,
but can pass it over at a glance.
You have not intruded upon
them in the slightest.
But when you thrust a circular
upon a man or family you are in
one sense Of The word intruding. 1
You expect people to drop what
ever they are doing and listen to
your tale about your business.
They may want to hear your
story and they may not.
The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1900-04-26
If they do, well and good.

III tney 90, well and good.
If they do not, they are apt tC
throw your circular aside rather
impatiently and to have at least 8
slight feeling of annoyance that
does you no good.
The proper place to advertise is
unquestionably in the columns Of
the newspaper.
You can reach more people in
the best manner and get better
results for your money in the col
umns of a good newspaper than in
any other way.
There is no question at al!
about this.
[ donot mean to condemn circular
advertising altogether.
In some instances it cam be
made to do very good work, but it
must be well done.
A cheap and shoddy circular is
an insdlt to humanity.
If circulars fit into your business
have them handsome, striking and
well printed. Make them so at
tractive that they will counteract
any feeling of annoyance which
they might otherwise cause.
Printers Ink.
Ifyou knew how many people
there are right in your town who
know practically nothing about
your store, your goods and your
methods, it would fill you with as
tonishment and alarm.
You are so close to your bust
ness and your store seems so i'm
portant to you that you forget that
a great many people are minding
their own business SO closely that
have never paid any attention to
you. You will very often hear of
a merchant who has no use for ad
vertising and that everybody
knows all about him and his store.
Such men are making a sad
mistake.
In order to get the facts In re-
lation to yourself and your busi-
ness into the minds of the people |
you should keep telling them over
and over again. .-Printers's Ink.

COUPLE MARRIED BY WIRE.
MulattO I'm kentucky Becomes Bride
of Soldier in New Mexico-siarts
to Join Her Husband.

Kentucky's first marriage by wire
came to the knowledge of the public
the other day. The groom was Pri.
vate Samuel Wheeler, of troop II,
Ninth United States cavalry, at Fort
Wingate, n. NJ, and the bride was
Lizzie luminous, a pretty mulatto
girl of Winchester, Ky. In order to
solemnize the wedding ceremony both
the telegraph and telephone had to
be brought into use, and tie cost was
quite heavy. Rev. S. p. Young. of Lex
ington, oliiciated and sent a message
over the wire to the groom-clect at
Fort Wingate, a distance of 1,130
miles, asking if he would take Lizzie
for his lawful wife. The reply came
as quickly as it could under the cir
cumstances. Meanwhile the wedding
feast was enjoyed, At the other end
of the line the ceremony was conduct
ed by Chaplain Foster, of the Ninth
cavalry, and magistrate of Fort Win
gate. Immediately after the marriage
had been effected the young woman
consulted lawyer to ascertain if it
was binding. Being assured in the
affirmative, she took the train to Join
her husband. Wheeler enlisted in the
army from Kentucky and was assigned

WANTS A NEW RELIGION.
Government of Japan at Presen
A-uch Drawn to Everything
English.

1t has been stated on pretty good au-
thori.y that the leading statesmen of
Japan are thinking of making Chris
tianity the established religion of the
country, says the Evangelist. When the
government of Japan was changed and
the mikado assumed his kingly author
ity one of the first steps taken was the
endowment and establishment of the
Shinto religion. And Shintoism is so
broad and comprehensive belief that
it has frequently allowed Christian
services to be held in its temples.
To the American Episcopal church
belongs the honor of being the first
Protestant body to commence Chris
tian work in Japan, for Bishop Will
liams established himself at Tokyo as
early as 1859 and translated portions
of the prayer book and Bible into the
japanese tongue. Should Japan adopt
Christianity as national faith it is not
likely that it will take a church exactly
to the pattern of either British or Amer
lean Christianity, but the Episcopal
missionaries in Japan believe that the
molding of the japanese mind with
regard to Protestant Christianity restE
very largely with the Anglican commu-
nity' especially as the japanese govern
ment is at present much drawn to ev-
erything English.
