BRYAN IS IN NEW
YORK CITY AGAIN
Says He Doesn't Expect All Democrats
to Agree With Him on Govern
ment Ownership.

port Mr.. Bryan was asked what he
thought of the argument that Mr..
Roosevelt would be logically the next
Republican candidate for president.
Mr.. Bryan said that if it were true, as
the Republicans declare, that he has
destroyed the Democratic party, then
there ought to be dozen able Repub-
licans available who could win.
With such an easy victory assured
there would be no necessity Of giving
Roosevelt what would be regarded by
many as practically third term.
"Why," he asked, should not some
body else be given chance?"
Asked what he thought of criticism
by leading Democrats of his idea Of
federal ownership of the railroads,
Bryan said that he never had adyo-
Gated anything that was not opposed
in some quarters.

Commercial Club Works
for Good Walks on
Wilson st,

The Commercial club met last night
with good attendance. In the alb

President Orr, f. Nj. Tarlton was
chosen president pro tenn.
A letter was read from the industri-
al agent Of the N. X. & r., who said
that the Heinz Pickle company is
planning to establish salting station
somewhere in the territory. He sug-
gested that Vinita would be a good
place for the plant, and asked that
the matter be taken up with the
farmers. Before the plant will be es.
tablished the company wants prom
ise of at least 200 acres Of cucumbers

mittee on manufactures

admitted to membership
Captain G. S. White reported that
investigation had disclosed the fact
that there were no subscriptions for
the Little Cabin bridge, as had been
represented to him, and thai therefore
he had been able to do nothing with
the project. He was given more time,
with the understanding that he should
see whether subscriptions could be
secured.
The sidewalk committee reported
chat considerable had been accom-
plished towards securing signatures to
petitions for walks in the residence
districts, but that the petition for
cement walks on Wilson street was at
a standstill, a majority Of the proper
ty owners refusing to sign. The
members of the club took great in
in the discussion, and on mo- /
tion the president was authorized 10
appoint three additional members Of |
the sidewalk committee to work on
the Wilson street walk.
1t was moved that the council be
asked to condemn all board walks in
the business district as being unsafe
both to health and public safety.
The motion was unanimously carried.

granted until the president could Sc
cure the transcript and examine it.
The departmental justice, however,
recently asked for recommendations
from the district attorney and Judge

SOME INTERESTING
CHEROKEE HISTORY
District Attorney StaOfeId ID Speech
at Ketchum Relates Some Very
interesting Facts,

The picnic and OK roast at Ketchum
was quite well attended yesterday.
Good order prevailed, and all present
seemed to be enjoying the occasion.
1t had been arranged to have polit.
ical speaking in the afternoon by both
Democrats and Republicans, but as
the Democrats failed to make connec-
tion the Republicans had things their
own way, with Wade S. Stanfield as
the principal speaker, w, I Davis a
close second and j. f. Murphy as a
tifCeen-minute time killer.
Z. Wyman Thompson actedas mas
ter Of ceremonies and introduced the
speakers.
Mr.. Stantield started out by referr-
ing to the action Of the Democracy In
its effort TO prejudice the Cherokee
Indian against the Republican party
and the officials who are holding Office
under Republican administration,
and proved the falsity OF such Demo-
cratic argument by reading extracts
from the 10Th annual report Of the
Bureau Of American Ethnology by
}. w. Powell, ls97-0s some OF which
are as follows:
"In November, 1923, Andrew Jack
son, frontiersman and an Indian hat
er, was elected president.
"On December 20, one month after
his election, Georgia passed an act an
nexing that part Of the Cherokee
country within her chartered limits
and extending over it her jurisdiction;
all laws and customs established
among the Cherokees were declared
nun and void, and no person Of Indian
blood or descendant residing within
the Indian country was henceforth to
l9e allowed as witness or party in
lny suit where a white man should be
defendant. iThis action having been
L<aken after Cherokee boy found a
piece OF gold In the country occupied
by the Indians The whole territory
was soon after mapped out into coun-
ties and surveyed BY state supervision
into land lots Of 100 acres each
and gold lots Of 40 acres, which we're
put up and distributed among the
white citizens Of Georgia by public
lottery, each white citizen receiving a
ticket. Provision was made for the
settlement Of contested lottery claims
among the white citizens,' but by the
most stringent enactment, in addition
to the sweeping law which forbade
anyone Of Indian blood to bring suit
or testify against white man, it was
made impossible for the Indian owner
his right in any court or to
resist the seizure of hishomes-tead, or
even his own dwelling house, and any
one so resisting was made subject 10
imprisonment at direction OF Geor-
gia court.
Other laws directed to the same
end quickly followed, one Of which
made inyalid any contract between a !
white man and an Indian unless es-
Jablished BY the testimony Of two
white witnesses-thus practically can,
seling all debts due from white nen
% Indians-while another obliged an
white men residing in the Cherokee
country to take special oath Of allegi-
lnce to the state Of Georgia, on pen
llty Of four years imprisonment in
he penitentiary, this act being in
ended 70 drive out all the mission

tion. About the same time the
Cherokees we're forbidden to hold
connclls, or 70 assemble for any
public purpose, or to dig forbidden
gold on their own lands.
"The purpose Of this legislation was
to render life in their own country
intolerable to the Cherokees by de-
priving them Of all legal protection
and friendly counsel, and the effect
was precisely as intended In all elo-
quent address upon the subject be-
fore the house Of representatives the
distinguished Edward Everett clearly
pointed out the encouragement which
it gave to lasgicss men. They have
but to cross Me Cherokee line; they
have but to choose the time aud the
place where the eye Of no white man
can rest upon them, and they may
burn the dwelling, waste the farm,

son, murder the children of the Chero.
kee subject Of Georgia. and though
hundreds Of the tribe yAay be looking
On, thereis not one ofthem that can
be permitted to bear witness against
the spoiler;
Senator Sprague Of Maine said Of
the law that it devoted the property
Of the Cherokees to the cupidlty Of
their neighbors, leaving them exposed
to every outrage which lawless persons
could intict, so that even robbery and
murder might be commltted with in.
punity at MONDAY, If not Ia the pre-.
sence OF white men who would testify
against il;
1.-The prediction was fulfilled to the
letter Bands Of armed men invaded
the Cherokee country, forcibly selling
horses and cattle, taking possession Of
houses from which they had expected
the occupants, assaulting the owners
who dared to make resistance.
In one instance, near the Dahlonega,
two white men, who had been hosplt-
ably received and entertained at sups
per by an educated Cherokee citizen
OF nearly pure white blood, later in
the evening, during the temporary ab-
sence OF the parents, drove out the
children and their nurse and deliber-
ately set fire to the house, which
was burned to the ground with all its
contents They were pursued and
brought to trial. but the case was dis
missed by the judge on the ground
that no Indian could testify against
white man..
A footnote on the bottom Of the
page from which tlns is taken, reads
as follows:
Cherokee miners upon their own
ground we're arrested, fined, and inn
prisoned, and their tools and machin-
cry destroyed, while thousands Of
white intruders were allowed to dig
in the same places unmolested. A

for killing another Indian was seized
BY the state authorities, tried and

English, lie was unable

but the Judge who had conducted the
trial defed the writ, went to the
