Ladies of Southern District
Presents Judge Thomas
With Flowers.
AN ELOQUENT REPLY
BY the Eminent Jurist, aud Makes
Solemn Pledge to Stop Sale of
Liquor in Indian Country
As far as his Jurisdiction
Extends.

The ladies OF Davis, Chickasaw
nation, last week presented Judge
John r. Thomas with a box OF
flowers in token Of their apprecia.
tion of mis- services in stopping the
sale Of intoxicating liquors in that
town. Judge Thomas made the
following beautiful and eloquent
response:

light Of hope in darkened homes,
@. men saved from the vile temp.
tauion Of Intoxicating drink.
"lf ! have been eble to restore
to the women OF Davis and the
S,uthern district that protection
which the law has always given
them, | feel inexpressibly happy.
"That they have come with the
enhancing smile Of Gods best
gift as testimonial Of their ap.
probation shows how truly they
read His laws and wisdom, and
how, after all, amid the storms Of
life, the anchor Of mans best hope
is in the protection Of his loved
ones. Compared with the other
rewards coming to man, il is like
the cloud piercing mountain,
radiant with early dawn, and
nerves my arm and steels my soul
to 90 that which God has told me
is right.
IL took solemn oath that

Of law and order shall float on
high. No coward or criminal, or
maudlin sentimeniality shall
swerve me from the right.

The ratification of the Greek
treaty will prove to be OF vast ben
eff. to the Cherokees in that il
simplilies matters somewhat with
reference to an agreement with
them. The Cherokees alone OF
the five tribes remain to be treated
with, and il is now about definite
ly known what kind Of a treaty
will be acceptable to them. The
absence of the mineral leese claus e
in the Creek treaty doubtless Sc
cured its ratification and the same
conditions exist here. The Dawes
commission can now proceed with
the Cherokees aud they have the
advantage Of the experience Of
having treated with the other
tribes along with having made two
former treaties with the Chero
KEGS which failed of ratification
Prospects are bright for an early
agreement with these people and
one that will be shorn o. many of
the jobs that have crept into other
treaties.
