In the Indian side of the state the
question arises. particularly in those
counties where the Negro-Creek popu.
lation is dense, What is to be done
with the Negro-Creek2" Tho white
citizen is answering the question
rapidly.
And the white citizen will settle
the question all the more rapidly after
such tragedies as that OF Okmulgee.
The Negro-Creek has met condi-
ton which he can not hope to contend
with. His punishment for any out
break is swift and sure. The circle
OF civilization with its restrict ns Is
tightening round him He can com
nit the same crimes but there Is a
certainty Of his punishment His day
is passing by.
Besides. in the Old days Il was not
hard for the desperate 10 live. To-day
he must work or fall 10 that low level

the surveillance OF the police. lie can
not survive in such an ignoble state.
He must go 10 work or starve. No
longer will mis- swagger be seen round
the streets of Okmulgee or Muskogee.
Never again win an Oklahoma town be
called upon to mourn the terrible end
of its faithful officers OF the law as
did Okmulgee this past Sunday night.
The Negro4Creek Is also getting rid of
his land. And getting rid of his land
means that he will soon get rid Of his
money He viii spend in Musk1gee
dive In week the price Of a fine
farm. And then when he gets In
trouble It is the ignominy OF the rock
pile. not the triumphant home coming
after a bloody foray. The day OF the
Negro-Creek is indeed done.
