Few Of the Things He Has Been.

He was principal IF the Cherokee
Orphan Asylum, 1879 and 1850; vas
secretary of the board Of education
Of the Cherokee NaTon. 1851 TO 1881:
he began the practiae OF law in 1880;
was president Of the international fair
al Muskogee. in 1SS2 1885. 1884: WAS
editor and owner Of the Indian Chief
tain in 1884 at Viuita: was United
States Indian agent for the Five Civil
lized Tribes from 1886 to 1919
It was largely through his efforts
that the National Banking act was
extended 10 the Indian Territory. He
shouted II the Government people in
Washington so much and so lonS
about the rights Of the Indians. whites
aRG foreigners in the territory that
ne urRed the trick. Having done all
this it occurred to him that the ter
ritory ought to have a fine national
bank. and it was through his work
and through much of his money that
the First National Bank of AIuskogee
The first national bank in the Ter
ritory-was established. in August,
1880.
He was always a great man for get
tag In first in the matters affecting
the Territory. He's right there with
the loud voice for the peoples rights
and against the peoples wrongs. but
he is also right there with the quick
head and the willing hand. He was
secretary OF the first bar association
OF the Indian Territory, which was or
ganlzed in 1889. He was the first man
who had anything to do with the act
of Congress of 1901, giving United
States citizenship to every Indian in
the Territory. for he was the man who
wrote the act. He had TO carry il
around in his pocket for some time
before he got action on it. but the
action finally came.
