Cherokee Citizens Meet in vinita and
Petition for Enrolment Of Children
Born Since March a, 1906

A meeting Of Cherokee citizens, the
parents Of children born since March
A, 1906, was held in Vinita Saturday
afternoon. At this meeting it was de-
cided to petition congress to admit to
the rolls Of the Cherokee nation chill
dren born between March 4, 1906,
when the rolls were closed. and the
present date.
The rejection Of the intermarried
whites has thrown open some 5000
allotments, and it is for the purpose
Of securing these that the enrolment
Of the babies is desired. The follow
ing letter, which is being sent out to
all citizens Of the Cherokee nation, ex-
plains fully the purpose OF the move
ment:
"a meeting Of a number Of Chero.
kee citizens, who are the parents Of
children born since March 4, 1906, was
held in Vlnita on February 8, 1907. At
this meeting it was decided to organ
ize the Cherokee citizens who are in
terssted in securing The enrolment Of
Cherokee children born since March 4,
1906.
''1he time being short, it was de-
cided to take immed ate steps to
petition congress to pass bill at the
present session, placing on the Chero-
kee roll children OF Indian blood born
since March 4, 1906. Therefore, the
following committed, with full power

pointed; DR.. E. B. Frayser and T. D.
Witt, Of Vinita, and John NJ. Taylor,
Jr., of Claremore
ut was further decided to give all
citizens an opportunity to assist in pro-
curing this legislation. The meeting
employed the law firm of Riddle &
Clapham, Of Vinita, and decided to
also retain one Of the ablest lawyers Of
Washington, d. O., that this legisla-
tion might be pushed promptly and
vigorously"
Each citizen who is interested in
this legislation is invited to sign the
memorial to congress, to contribute
the sum of $40 In cash, and to sign a
subscription agreeing to pay SIS addi-
tIonal when his child, born since
March A, 1905, has filed on allotment,
or has received It's equivalent in cash.
All subscriptions are to be inthe COM

SCHOOL BOARD AND
CITY COUNCIL CLASH.
Roard Denies Right Of Council to Pass
Ordinance Admitting Out Of Town
Pupils to School

The school board and the city coun-
Gil have run foul Of each other. joint
meeting Of the two boards is being
held this afternoon in the effort to
reach an agreement The subject Of
dispute is the ordinance recently pass
ed BY the council, providing for the
admittance to the Vinita schools Of
out Of town pupils on payment Of a
tuition fee Of 81 per month.
Several pupils from the east side Of
town, who live outside the city limits,
presented themselves at school this
morning, carrying receipts from City
Treasurer Ficklln showing that they
paid a months tuition. They were
however, refused admittance, Prof.
w. T. Ford saying that, until he had
been instructed to sdmit them by the
school board, he would refuse to per-
nit them to enter the school,
This put the matter directly up to
the school board. The members Of
that body seem inclined to insist that
outsiders be not admitted They
claim that it costs $l.s5 for each vi
nita child now in the schools, and that
outsiders should not be admitted for
a less payment. One member Of the
board declared that he would resign
before he would permit out OF town
children to enter school at only 81 per
month.
The Vinita daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1902-1913, 1907-02-11

@It is claimed further that the city
conncil has not the legal authority Ito
pass such an ordinance as has been
past. 1t is upon this point that the
matter hangs From present indica-
tions the council, If it has the right.
will be inclined to stand pat for it's
ordinance. II would doubtless be Will
ing to increase somewhat the rate Of
tuition but il Is hardly likely that it
will recede from It's position opening
the schools to those who wish to az
tend and who have no other place to
sc.
AS the council looks at the matter
Vinita could we'll afford to Furnish
schooling to out Of town pupils.
They viii spend here more tlan en-
ough to repay several times over the
slight sum expended on them in ex-
cess Of their tuition and newcomers
will be attracted to Vinita If there IS

farmers win move to town for the
purpose Of sending their children to

braham Lincoln. or course, refer.to
the widespread tradition that Lincoln
was born Of that class known in the
South as ''poor whites, = thathis faith
er was not Thomas Lincoln, as his
biographers insist on declaring, but a
rich and cultured planter Of another
State than Kentucky, and that his
mother not only gave fatherless boy
to the world, but herself was a name
less child. The tradition has always
lacked particularly. For instance,
there has been large difference Of opin-
ion about The planter who fathered
Abraham, who he was and where he
came from, One story calls him Enloe
a o h er Cal houn, another
Hardin, and several dItfereLU
States claim him. Only five years ago
a book was published in North Caro-
lima to prove that LincoIns father
was a resident of that State. Tic
bulk Of the testimony offered in this
instance came from men and women
who had been born long after Abra-
ham Lincoln, had never seen him, and
never heard the tale they repeated
until long after his election to the
Presidency. or the truth Of these
statements as to Lincoln's origin no
proof has ever been produced. They
we're rumors, diligently spread in the
first place by those who for political
purposes we're glad to belittle politi-
cal opponent They grew with telling
and, curiously enough, two Of Lincoln's
best friends helped perpetuate them

which are of great interest and value.
But neither Of these men was aRstu-

to look for records Of Mr.. Lincoln's
birth. They accepted rumors and en-
larged upon them. Indeed, it was not
until perhaps twenty-five years ago
that the matter was taken up serious
" and an investigation begun. This
has been going on at intervals ever
since, until venture to say that few
persons born in a pioneer community,
as Lincoln was, and as early as 1909
have their lineage on both sides as
clearly established as thatof Abraham
Lincoln. 1t takes, indeed, most
amazing credulity for any one to be-
lieve the stories / have alluded to
after having looked at the records Of
his family. Lincoln himself, backed
by the record in the Lincoln family
Bible, is the first authority for the
time and place Of his birth, as well as
the name of his father and mother,
The father, Thomas Lincoln, far from
being ''poor white,' was the son ofa
prosperous Kentucky pioneer, man
of honorable and well-established line
age who had come from Virginia as
friend of Daniel Boone, and had there
bought large tracts of land and begun
to grow up with the country, where he
was killed by the Indians. He left a
large family. By the law Of Kentucky
the estate went mainly to the oldest
son, and the youngest, Thomas Lin
coin, was left to shift for tnrself.
