In discussing the status OF the work OF the Dawes

THE MOTIVE BEHIND THE VOTE.

Next Tuesday fourteen Million perhaps sixteen MIL
on men will cast their votes for the various candidates
for Office All argument addressed to them will cease on
saturday night and the remaining time will be occupied
with preparation TO bring out the full party vote.
There are probably five million boys not old enough TO
vote who next week will look with envy their elders
It is not too early for them think about what the
right Of suffrage signifies When looked at Alright, the
exercise OF that right Is pretty serious business What
else does sox 6obnH Del than that the free
mans will is the will Of God?
The youth whose ideas are still In the plastic state
may well give some thought this before he casts his
rs vote 1t is not enough that boy should vote As his
father does IL dlgnceful when old pollution adj
yses young pollution to Join tile party In the majority
in tie city where he lives simply because IL Is the major
IT'S party II is unfortunately true that In many large
cities and In small towns as WE'LL young occasionally
attach themselves to the majority party for selfish rea
sons: but such men rise high.
The great men have fought for great principles and
In many cities aud states aud In the nation ITSELF they
have transformed minorties into maiorites The motive
behind the vote is what counts IN the long rum Il Is Of
vital Importance that the young men who are TO rule
this country thirty years who are TOO young
10 vote this yearshould understand that mere success
at the polls is not the chief thing for which man should
work.
When such success means merely the triumph Of a
shy opportunlsm group Of politicians NAV prtht by
Offices but the nation will suffer The patriotic voter is
he who looks beyong s present aud supports those poll
cIes which, after careful reflection he believes will he
for tie greatest good Of the whole country There are
already millions Of such patriotic voters but there must
be millions more growing up to take their places. else,

THE REAL TOWN BUILDERS.

Booming Indian Territory towns Is the occupation OF
some thousand citizens at the present time.
Building an Indian Territory town is a wonderful pro-
cess and enss the attention II not the cooperation Of
nearly every class of people The possibilities for untold
wealth to the town builder are simply limtess Baron
Munchausen never conjured up more impossible flights
than copes to the mind and imagination Of the Indian
Territory town builder The imitation OF values In the
mind Of a real live town builder is something fierce. A
prairie sandhl becomes rchaluyal valley Of limitless
productiyeness The village highway stretches away in
to great business mart like state street. Chicago The
meek little court house expands and spreads into mill
lion dollar state capital Nothing IS left undone TO at
tract the capitalist and him to invest in some
wild, vague scheme that promises millions at some in
definite future time.
what viii come OF all this wild, spectacular scramble
for some intangible and undefnabe thing WIN all the
great fields Of promise and Of wealth 'pan out p
No, hardly The wild boomer win have spent his
wind some day and then the reaction viii set in The
hot air artist viii have sought other fields and the con-
serVatiye portion OF the community will again begin TO
be respected and regarded sane. Men will begin to
look around to see what the Of the country
really are Instead OF nnatIng the value Of town prop
erty men will begin to figure out how much corn or
cotton or wheat oats potatoes can be produced on
an acre Of average land They will go out and measure
the vein of coal that has been claimed TO be ten feet
Deep and the two hundred barrel oil well will be gagged
All this will take place before the actual work Of
building cities will begin Then some towns that have
been cursed by the boomers and malgned by the town
builders viii begin TO out hacked by the real pro-
duct Of the surrounding country which Is after ALL the
only basis OF wealth or growth

question Of vital importance TO the Cherokee Ma
ton Is What shall be done TO perpetuate our national
schools? The tribal government will cease after next
wear and unless new and adequate provisions shall be
made for their continuation these valuable institutions
will go down and become dead properties Such caam-
ty must be ayerted Their loss would be rreparabe to

The question remains What shall be doneY We can
think or but two chances either OF which ample II II
can be utilized One is for the state TO buy them and
make them permanent state institutions 20 be supported
by state taxation similar like educational ventures Of
other states This is reasonable demand and the United
states government ought not TO hesitate at the oppor-
tunity.
Another and more feasible plan has OF late been sng
gesed and that is for the United States government to
buy them and donate them to the state on condition
that they shall be maintained by the latter as state uni
yersltes This can be done as lifting wind up Of In
dian affairs and we think the suggestion good one and
snail favor the proposition We bring this matter 70 the
attention OF the public and will have more to say OF this
important subject In the near future.
