We feel that Il is up to the Chieftain to
give vinita daily newspaper in keeping
with the Importance Of the city. We have
been out Of the newspaper business for
about two and one-half years and our
deliberate judgment now is that Vinita is
a better town than formerly There is
more doing, more in contemplation and
the future is larger with possibilities for
good. The Chieftain ventures the prophecy
that we are on the eve of a tremendous
upward and onward movement that all
the southwest win share, and that Vinita
for once win get her share Within three
months this city viii have completed

The circus had come to town, and
there was q tiny boy. not more than
three years old, who was too excited
to eat or sleep. so filed was he with
visions OF the wonders that might be
seen. So hfs father (who was big
boy himseID decided to take the baby
to an afternoon performance and the
two set on together.
II was q gorgeous, afternoon, and
thetwo came home with exciting tales
Of the marvels they had beheld.
Never had there been such show or
such animals, Language was quite
inadequate to the occasi0n-it had
been a thing Of pure golden joy.
AT six O'Clock the little fellow was
having his supper, when he suddenly
stopped his mouth full of porridge
and the spoon sticking out from it at
defiant angle and burst into a roar,
deafening, heart-broken, and inarticu-
late, the spoon dropping with cIat-
ter to the table.
HIS father was puzzled and asked
various questions as to possible stom-
ach ache stray pins, etc, meeting
with no answer whatever. Then he
demonstrated:
why, Jacky.~ he said. do you
think this is nice Of you? Father has
taken You to the circus. and just think
Of AT the things you've seen! The
polar bear, and the elephants-and--"
But Jacky's rage at this became I'M

TITLES TO BE- CLEARED.

A mistaken idea seems to prevail IN
certain quarters relative to the effect Of
the land suits recently filed by representa-
tives Of the national government, and
many persons are inclined 70 believe that
these suits will operate as a check 70 the
sale Of allotted land and become cloud
s0n the titles. when as a matter Of fact the
reverse Is true The object Of these suits
is to clear the title to the land Of aIlottees
from all clouds arising from fraudulent
leases, contracts, bills Of sale, deeds and
mortgages and give to the allottee the
backing Of the government to execute a
good deed to his land, the abstract, to
which will show that that through these
suits all Illegal enclImbrances against the
same made prior to the date Of the re-
moval Of restrictions have by an order Of
the U. 5. court been SET aside Without
these suits the title to large amount Of
land in Eastern Oklahoma would have
been cIouded and much confusion annoy
ance to buyers for years would have re-
suited When the u S court issues the
order setting aside the bogus transfers, as
Il win do the abstract viii show this
order and the title win then be as free
from cncpmbrances as If no previous deed
had been made and the buyer will secure
as good title as if the only instrument on
record was the U. S patent to the allottee,
Il is very important for the press Of the
state 10 emphasize this feature Of the suits
filed ia order to disabuse the minds Of
prospective purchasers OF the idea that
the action Of the government further com
plicates matters, Few buyers would &C
cept a deed when the records show an
order Of the court setting aside all these
alleged transfers and to set them aside is
