Tiger insists that all official business
be conducted in his native tongue.
Chief Checote was good English
scholar, but when II came to official
business he would not listen to a word
of English, insisting that all business
with his nation be conducted In his
national tongue. So Chief Tiger will
not talk in English. though he under
stands perfectly and can speak good
English. Shortly after his appoint
ment he was In the Office OF the com.
missioner to the Five tribes and that
official tried to transact some official
business The chief would not speak.
After half an hours work the com.
missioners gave 1t up as bad job.
In his own Office the chief speaks
Creek entirely. He answers the sim
plest questions through his interpre.
ter. though It is plainly evident from
his expression that he understands 1t
In English.
Since his induction into ONCE there
has been constant stream Of Indians
In to consult the chief. Any day one
may find him in consultation with hall
dozen Indians, all of them talking
Creek, so that 1t is almost impossible
to tell what Is going on in the office.
Even the stenographers and confiden.
tial secretary are unable to grasp the
situation.
The duties of the chief are light. So
is his salary. He receives $4,000 a
year, and he will spend more than
that paying the railroad fare for In
dians who come to town. get stranded
and have to borrow money to pay their
railroad fare home. The department
, of the interior has usurped practically
all OF the power that was formerly
delegated to the Indian legislatures
and their executives. All matters must
now be passed upon by the govern
merft. and the existence of an Indian
council and chief. so far as the Five
tribes are concerned. is merely nom.
inal national life.
The ascendency of Tiger to the OF.
fice of principal chief is purely ac.
cidental, Chief Porters term OF Office
would have expired this month. Tn.
der the law the president would then
have appointed chief. Porter would
have been reappointed but Tiger
would not have been second chief, and

probability some one else would MI

should establish a school system and
become an educated race or should
