The delegation of Cherokees t.
be called to Washington soon viii
have the task OF reeonstructing tht
agreement passed by the last ses
sion of council. 1t is un-
derstood the Dawes commission
will insist on a. few changes, but
on the whole the agreement is ex-
expected to 60 through without
material alteration. The sooner
it becomes the law of the land the
better it will be for all concerned.
Those who are carefully watch
ing the trend of affairs in the ter.
ritory have not failed to observe
that we are approaching crisis in
the history of the territory. We
are approaching the end of a long
drawn out situation that has been
anomalous and puzzling beyond
measure. Now sometimes we
think we can see the faint streaks
of breaking clouds, and hear the
measured throb of settled govern
ment, where the people elect their
own rulers and every nan can
dwell under his own vine and fig
tree.
The recent great difference of
opinion among physicians. as well
as among the laity, as to whether
the cutaneous eruptive disease now
prevalent over a large portion Of
the Indian Territory is really
smallpox or not has led to much
and some skepticism as
to whether medicine is really the
ine unerring science it is cracked
up TO be or not. K would be folly
10 take either side of the contro-
Tefsy and expect TO sustain it in
allibly. II one should decide that
hose who have pronounced il
Imallpox being medical men ought
o know, the other consideration
hat equally reputable physicians
leclare that it is not smallpox
makes the dielemma al The more ,
'uzzling. Il were. well that the
medical profession center upon
ONE infallible diagnosis that all
Gay agree upon.

With 124 public schools, two
seminaries, an orphan asylum and
a colored high school. running in
full blast and attended by nearly
five thousand Cherokee children,
paid for by Cherokee money, it
would seem that there are other
subjects of the great American
government that might share the
attention of the powers that be.
The Cherokees are happy and
prosperous people, and were so
long before the United States gov
eminent decided to wipe them out
of existence.
The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1900-02-13

One trouble the government of
the United States seem to always
experience In dealing with the In
dian Territory, is to understand
that these people are not blanket
Indians, not helpless savages, but
on the contrary are intelligent peo-
pie, and should be dealt with as
any other civilized community
Simple justice properly admins
tered will satisfy the Indians, and
they ask no more.
The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1900-02-13

OF all the absurd orders that
have ever been Issued from the
interior department concerning an
Indian tribe the one published
yesterday requiring renters and
leases to vacate is the most out
rageous. Ifit is to be taken liter
ally, and ifit is to be enforced. it
means little less than the depopu-
lation Of this country. With all
fairness TO the representatives Of
the interior department in this
country we are most emphatic in
our belief that the law 10 question
never contemplated any such
action on the part Of the idepart-
meni.
The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1900-02-13

A Vinita man who has spen
much time the last few months il
a neighboring town remarked tha
Vinita has the advantage of mos
towns save in one important par.
ticular. While strife and petty
animosities divide and separate
many leading men in Vinita, other
cities present solid front to the
world and pull together. A few
individuals cannot control a COM
munity the size of this city, and
should not undertake it. A pull
altogether is the great dissider-
atum, and the thing that will
bring growth, business and sue
cess. The man who feeds upon
private or public hatreds and who
plays the porcupine act is sower
Of the seeds of discomfort and
ought to be rebuked by every good
citizen. If Vinita is to retain her
place among the best cities of the
great Indian Territory her people
must stand together in matters OF
public enterprise.
