many other noted Cherokee
families have taken high rank
in the field of letters. General
Stanwatie, that fearless and
skillful commander Of h e
southern Cherokees, carved for
himself a place among the great
captains brought forth by the
civil war. Col. Vim. p. Ross
was perhaps the most polished
orator and altogether disting-
uished forensic gladiator who
ever had the honor of Chero-
kee parentage. AT home among
the able men of his tribe or at
Washington amid the talent
and picked men of the Ameri-
can nation he stood well to the
fore and lost nothing by COM
parison. The younger Elias
Cornelius Boudinot was also a
man of marvellous oratorical
ability, and for cutting sarcasm,
penetrating logic and magnifi-
cent eloquence, was a man of
whom any nation or people
should be proud.
To the sentimental mind
there is a touch Of pathos in
the spectacle Of a fading and
dying nation, though it be an
obscure tribe of Indians. Down
through the decades with steady
tread these people have moved
with the certain doom Of ma
tional annihilation before them.
They, like their fathers, could
read their destiny in the setting
sun. With long-drawn sigh and
steady vision they marched to-
ward the narrowing horizon,
and constantly fading glory of
tribal life. Their council fire
has gone out on the side Of the
mountain long ago. The bound
ing deer has disappeared from
their forests and the plain
tive howl of the wolf is family
heard among the hills. Their
old men and women are sleep
ing in their humble graves un-
der the oaks and elms while the
song birds break the stiffness
with their notes of joy.

consequently no more cam

A FAITHFUL
CHRONICLER
q Years of EventfuI
History Recorded

THE great magazines under
1 take the task by special
writer's to dilate upon the great
ness Of cities, but it is left to
the modest weekly and the
venturesome and samewhat
strenuous country daily paper
to sing the praises of the small
town.
For twenty-one years the
Weekly Chieftain has chronicled
the events of Vinita, and
championed the progress of the
most magnificent country be-
tween the oceans. Born amid
the wilds of the frontier and at
the most crucial period in the
Territory's history the paper
has had a most remarkable and
in many respects romantic ca
reer. In point of continuous
existence it is peyhaps the old
est publication in the Indian
Territory with one possible ex-
ception, the Cherokee Advocate
published at Tahlequah by the
Cherokee Nation.
The twenty-one volumes Of
.files preserved in the Office Of
publication of the Chieftain con-
tain about all that is to be told
of the Cherokee people. The
record of the great political
movements of the tribe for more
than two decades is intensely
interesting. The transition from
a tribal government free from
all the restraints and limitation
of federal interference to its
present state of emasculated ma
tional existence has been slow
and painful.
Twenty-one years ago land in
this country was as free to the
citizens of the Cherokee Nation
as air and water. With abun-
dant financial resources and
possessed of IA, 900, 900 acres Of
fine land and with a population
less than Is, 900, the Cherokees
were a most happy and con-
tented people, dwelling in Aca-
dian simplicity, and rejoicing
and contented in their isolation
and apparent freedom forever
from molestation from the white
man and his ways. But the
trend of civilization has been a
mighty force westward, and all
the aboriginal peoples on the
American continent have one
by one, been compelled to give
way before its irresistible
march.
The Cherokees have much to
be proud ce in the definite and
tangible history Of at least one
whole century. They have pro-
duced men of ability in all the
different fields Of human
achievement. The culture of
the white race has been eagerly
adopted by the Cherokees and,
men and women Of eminence in
the field of literature, in science,
in art and in the prowess of mil
itary glory. John Ridge, the
sweet singer of the Cherokees,
though living in exile, far away
from his native land and
estranged from his tribe, sang
like a Milton and was the poet
laureate of his people. The
Boudinots, the Adairs and

own advantage during the last
election. Their representatives
told the full-bloods that if they
went to the polls to vote, the
officers would seize the oppor-
tunity to have them enrolled.
In consequence many hundred
full-bloods refused to vote and
1.-THE National party lost as many
hundred votes. However, ina
matter of intrigue we cannot
claim anything peculiarly char
acteristic of the Cherokee
rather is it the way of the poll
tician.
The most distinguishing feat
ure of the campaign is the po-
litical picnic, or barbecue.
Word is sent out that a picnic
will be held for so many days
at such a ground or at such a
spring and everybody is invited
to come. A speakers platform
is erected under the trees and
booths for the sale of soft drinks,
peanuts and confections are
scattered about. The owners Of
the booths pay for the privilege
of selling and the money is
turned into the fund raised by
the campaign for paying picnic
expenses. A barbecue is pre-
pared, whole beeves roasted a
day and a night over trenches
dug in the ground and filled
with embers. The meat is dis
pensed to the crowd like other
public gifts, some receiving
enough for a dozen, others none
at all.
Speakers representing both
sides are present. First one
and then another harangues che
audience. Between speeches
the people visit, argue, and par
take Of refreshments. The en-
counters between opposing
speakers occasionally presents
ludicrous side. The following
story is told of a prominent
lawyer who represented the Ma
tional party at a picnic held for
colored people among the Tim
bered hills. He had as his op-
ponent an old negro who pos
.sessed decided influence over his
brethren. The climax came
when, after an exhortation by
the lawyer in which he urged
the voters to rally for Cookson,
to rally on the republican side,
the old man shook his finger
under the white mans nose and
exclaimed, "Look heah Mistah
Attorney, what you talking
about you bein a Publican an
all 'Publicans bein' for Cook
son Use a Publican myself.
Use a Publican fore you was
bawn, and Use for Rogers. Vas
sir p' 1t is claimed that after
this the attorney went home and
left the old negro in possession
Of the field.
Votes are bought and sold
openly. There may be no more
of this than in a Missouri cleo
ton, but there is less attempt at
concealment. This at least is
one Improvement the Cherokee
has made in his adoption of the
ways Of civilization. The day
before and the day of election
found the banks drained of their
coin and small change 1t is
claimed that agents went abroad
with satchels full of silver with
which to buy votes. When al
man votes, he enters the voters
booth and calls out the name
of the man for whom he casts
his vote. The Judge of election
the name aloud and the
clerk again repeats it before
writing it in the record book. 1t
is reported Of a man who had
bought.the votes of some doubt
ful Characters, that he stationed
one man near the booth and
another one without. A signal
was given by the first to the
second whenever a man voted
as he had promised and in this
wav the campaigner learned

7 Ne unique customs of the terri
J @y. OF these, perhaps one Of
wmost interesting is the me-
Aod Of conducting political
Mmpaigns. 1t should be re-
nembered that long before their
xmoval from Georgia, the Cher
1kees had a constitution and a
Bpublican form Of government
Nmilar to that of the United
Mates. Minor differences to be
Aointed out in connection with
bis subject are titles of officials
principal chief instead of presi-
Sent the age of right of suffrage
icing placed at eighteen years
Instead Of twenty-one, and spec
Hcations as to the method of
poting, which provide for viva
Noce vote instead of written
Ballot.
AS this last campaign did not
Hi4fer materially from those
beld twenty-five years ago, ex-
eept that it occupied less time
a campaign in the old days
Usually lasting a year, it will
kerve as a type-an example
NJ Cherokee politics.
The first step to be taken,
aside from much editorial COM
8nent in the newspapers and the
Usual sidewalk discussions, is
Bhe calling OF convention in
which, head captains, corre-
ponding to delegates, are
fosen. These head captains
meet in some grove or on some
Hicnic ground to nominate can
idates. There are but two
parties, the Downing party and
e National, and after each one
Has selected its candidates, the
campaign begins.
The voting population is sep
hrated into classes according to
blood and interests quite after
the manner OF people in the
states !" but instead of an
Irish vote, a prohibition vote,
or a labor union and the like
vote, there is the full-blocd, the
negro Greed slaves with tribal
rights the white intermarried
citizen, and the mixed blood
Cherokee vote, to be worked for.
1t would take too long 70 de-
scribe the particular interests Of
each Of these factions. How
ever, the real Cherokees, the
iull-bloods, deserve considera-
ton. Unlike their brothers Of
mixed blood, who mingles with
white men in cities and towns,
the full-bloods segregate them
selves in little settlements along
the Spavinaw and in other less
cultivated parts of the country.
Despite the sentimental glamour
Thrown over the history Of the
Indian by romantic writer's, the
fact remains that he does not
take kindly to progressive civ
ilization.
While the full-blood Cherokee
long ago exchanged his wigwam
for a house and his blanket for
European garb, he still clings
to the food Of his ancestors,
shuns the use of the English
language and his mind is filled
with an amazing mixture Of
superstition, ancient tradition
and a proper distrust of the
mixed blood politician
He still believes, for instance,
that in some mysterious and
providential way, the treaty
made with the Cherokees by
the British government at the
time of the Revolutionary war,
viii some day be fulfilled and
that, if he does not entangle
himself with American institu-
tions, this same British govern
lment will restore to him his
original hunting grounds. This
Is one reason why the full
bloods object to the allotment
IN severalty of Cherokee lands
and evade as the plague any at
tempt at their enrolment.
