The Vinita daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1902-1913, 1904-03-29

Who is responsible fer the exasperating delay in the
work Of allotment and final abolition Of tribal relations
in the Indian Territory? OF course, no one thing is
wholly the Of all the t.ouble but combination of
causes led up to the closing Of the land Office and tile
practical suspension Of the work Of the Dawes commits
sion While the government urging greater speed in
the work, and pushing the commission to the limit Of
endurance in fastening its completion, suddenly all
stopped and has remained stopped for the better part Of
year. And in analyzing the causes cannot escape
the conviction that the Dawes commission is responsible
in larger degree than any other instrumentality
If r Brosus had found everything regular everything
that it would have met The approval Of the govern
ment the commission would not have been weakened be-
fore the people, but strengthened in every way The in
yestigation that followed, by Mr. Bonaparte the
elimination Of a career of unbrided folly Nothing else
could in the bounds of human reason have happened
viii congress allow the real Indian to Isufer through
the loss Of his property because the agents Of the govern
ment have failed sgnally? 1t is not reasonable to
suppose that remedy will not be forthcoming, and the
ultimate conclusion be satisfactory The task of wind
ing up the affairs Of these Indians belongs the govern
ment, and whether it takes long short time it
must be done, and the burden is the government.

Imaginary III.

From letter written by John j. Ingalls, to his father:
II imagine that our dishes all bottom side up
when it rains not than those Of neighbors We
all disposed to think msortunes are exceptional
our diseases peculiar, destnies Unprecedented but
the lot Of humanity is much the same Great careers
are necessarily few, vast fortunes must be frequent
Kings and presidents scarce ana the most
allied in nation state receive about the average
of felicity the rest of have seen all classes and
conditions Of men, from the lowest to the cftiest and
the longer live the convinced that hapoiness
is in the individual, and not in his accidents Many
things alluring that, if attained have no charm
And many lives appear humble and obscure that are the
yestbule Of paradise. And after all whether well or
ILL., the longest life is but brief pulsation like the
momentary fash Of the freely in garden at night and
whether its tTansitory torch to be extngushed for
to be religted and live eternaly, we hope and
dream, but do not know"
