THOSE HISTORIC DEEDS.

The Indians are now receiving their
deeds. The Cherokees are receiving
the final evidence of their alotments
IN severalty at the rate Of 900 per day.
At this rate It will not take long to
enact the final scenes OF allotment in
severalty. Soon every Indian will
know and feel the thrill that comes
TO a man when with clear and final
title he sets his foot on piece of
land all his very own. Somehow It
touches the proud spot in a man and
he feels himself more of a man than
he waa before.
In the course of human events IL
marks the final step from the nomad
to the homesteader. With the In
dtsh It marks the final step from
community ownership to individual
ownership. Il does not destroy com
munity life, but it furnishes the in
divilDal a firm and independent
foundation from whi-h to view the
community life. II does not take him
out Of the community life. but 1t does
give hiH fixed ami independent
states in the life OF which he is
par;
The greatest boon one of these
deeds confers Is the right to estab-
lish upon the tract therein named a
home. That is a good word every
where. but not always duly appreciat-
ed. More than any other term 1t
marks the upward progress of human
life Here are formed mans earliest
tics and upon this foundation almost
alone stands all individual, state and
nationsl progress.
The Cherokees are getting the final
evidence of their individual owner
ship in fee simple Of these homes. To
each Cherokee these deeds become
milestones in the life of those who re-
ceiye them. They at once become
patents Of nobility evidence OF the
strong red blood of an illustrioas line
OF ancestors and guarantees of that
even greater boon-American citi-
zcnshir.
These arc historic days in Indian
life. The Indian may only I'm part
understand It. Men who are making
real history seldom do The Indian
is emerging from a narrow sphere
and just now taking hold on the great
STATE, national and worldwide life
that is so Characteristic of Twentieth
century civilization. That he will
make good is the hope of every true
citizen OF the coming new state.

SOME SERIOUS EFFECTS OF
INCREASED COST OF LIVING


There is a very serious question in
volved in this ever increasing cost of
living. II is well enough TO insist
that the productivity be increased TO
meet this increased cost. That is
prope,
However, there Is point where in.
creased cost Of living, love of display
and the necessity of keeping mp with
his class quite oyerwhelms the
mediocre. He finds that the things
he would do and the apparent neces-
sity OF his family, combined with the
Increased cost of living. have quite
outrun his productive capacity.
Perhaps nowhere is this more
keenly felt than here in America,
where the people have acquired ex-
pensiye habits and set for themselves
standards quite beyond those of other
countfies W
The sad part OF II all Is that It Is
becoming disintegrating factor In the
American home life.

tionably clean and manly campaign
Their appeals TO the people have the
right ring. They are not making the
campaign on the demerits Of their
opponents, but rather upon principle
and such merits as the people may
attribute to each OF them.
There is q good old Democratic ring
in these announcements. They dis
close the fact that the Democratic
party is ever the friend of the great
middle classes in state and nation.
They show forth clearly the Demo-
cratic doctrine of equal rights" to
all, as contrasted with the special

When one knows the men who are
thus presenting themselves to the
Democratic party and through the
party to the people at large, there
arises a feeling of pride in their evil

the new state both at home and
abroad Oklahoma has men equal to

NEWSPAPERS AND CAMPAIGNS.

The Okiahoman truthfully says
Paradoxical as 1t may seem to the
layman who often labors under the
misrepresentation that engaging in
politieal warfare affords a source of
continuous delight, the newspaper is
generally FIRST to welcome the closing
of campaign. On its shoulders in
variably falls the brunt of the battle,
and rests the responsibility in large
measure, If other conditions are equal,
for the success or defeat of the ticket.
In most respects newspaper Is
not unlike the average individual. Its
tastes, predictions and passions are
generally human. The hurly-burly
and hurrah OF the campaign are as
distasteful to 1t as to any one else,
even though II puts ON bold front
and smiles serenely.
Some people. of course, can not
understand these things. They i'm
agine that the newspaper takes to
politics and its practices as the duck

GOOD DEMOCRATIC TlMaER.

The campaign for the August cleo
items grows warm at a remarkable
pace. So far II is quite within the
Democratic lines. The Republicans
appear to be sadly afflicted with cold
feet. They had expected to get a
little warmth for their pedal ex-
tremities from the spring city cleo

whatever present and passing opposi-
