CHEROKEE FUNDS
FOR DISTRIBUTION
New Born Patents to Be Delivered
And Equalization Money to
Be Paid.

The supreme court decided in favor
of the new born Cherokee children on
May 1S, 1912, and motion for re-
hearing was denied in the case on June
10, 1912, more than sixty days ago.
Before that time most of the patents
had been prepared by the commission
ed to the Five Civilized Tribes at Mus
kogee, in anticipation that the case
would be decided in favor of the chill
|dren. Some of these patents were for
warded to the secretary of the interior
by the middle of June, but our advices
are that none of them have as yet
been returned approved. The pay roll
of the children entitled to equalization
money is being made up at Muskogee,
but has not as yet been forwarded to
the secretary for approval. We see
no reason why some of these deeds
should not have been delivered before
this time, as the approval by the Sec
retary Is only perIunctory aHalr. Ger
tainly the pay roll could have been
made in thirty days and il the work
had meen expedited it could have been
forwarded to Washington, approval,
and returned and the money in couse
of distribution by this time. The peo-
pie throughout the country are de-
manding an early settlement They
are entitled to it and to our knowledge
the Cherokee national attorney has
done everything within his power to
expedite the issuance and delivery of
these patents and payment Of this
equalization money We suggest to
those interested that they write the

OKLAHOMA MAN
TO SERVE SENTENCE
Conviction Of W. C. Byars Of Part in
Killing of Hampton snapp~ Up
held on Appeal.

Oklahoma City, Aug. 23-The case
of w. G. Byars, convicted of man.
slaughter in the first degree in Potta-
watomie county and sentenced to fif-
teen years Imprisonment, has been af-
firmed by the criminal court of ap-
peals. Byars was charged jointly with
Hawk Jones, Pat Ellis and John Rud-
dell with killing Hampton Snapp near
the line between Pottawatomie and
McClain counties in 1908. 1t was ad.
mitted that Ruddell fired the fatal
shot. The defendants all claimed the
shooting was accidental, but the court
holds that the evidence does not sus-
tain that contention.
Ellis and Jones were sentenced to
five years each, but Jones was granted
a new trial and his case is still pend
ing. Ruddell is fugitive from JUS
tice and the case in which the state
got a forfeiture of his $4,000 bond now
is pending on appeal in the supreme
court.
The case of Frank Nash, convicted
of burglary in Comanche county and
sentenced to two years, is reversed
Nash was arrested while getting an
outfit of tools such as burglars use,
from beneath a building at Lawton.
The state offered in evidence a 'tri'
angle" which, it was claimed, fitted
the marks on a safe which had been
robbed, but it was shown that the in.
strument, while ordered by Nash from
Lawton blacksmith, never had been
delivered to him.
The conviction OF P. w. Holden, sen
fenced to six months and $500 fine
in Oklahoma county on charge of vic
lating the prohibitory law, was affirm
ed, and the appeal Of John Roam Of
Johnston county, convicted on a simi
lar charge, was dismissed.
The court heard arguments in the
shabeas corpus. case OF w. c. Carries
held ON a murder charge in Okmulget
county. A reduction Of bail wa'
sought. but the court indicated tina
the relief would not be granted, ant
it is expected that the application will
be withdrawn.

frisco Increasing Its EquIpment.


The heavy crop movement, with its
consequent demands for an unusual
number Of cars. has put the officials
of the Frisco on their toes to supply
equipment as rapidly as possible to the
patrons of the company,
In order that this may be acconl-
plished, daily and weekly advices to
the agents, calling their attention TO
conditions as they develop, will be sent
out by the transportation department.
In these advices the average deten.
tion of equipment viii be shown, and
1t is hoped the agents viii impress Up.
on the shippers the need Of promptly
loading and unloading cars.
II the time of detention of equip
ment is reduced by half, il means that
practically twice as many cars viii be
available.
Therefore, the different departments
will keep the agents posted, not only
as to the number Of hours equipment
was detained, but as to the number Of
cars loaded each day and available
each day, in order that they may CO.
operate with the shippers in getting
best possible service.

STATE BOARDS
FINAL MEETING
State Board Completes Work With
Coal County Report.

Oklahoma City, Aug. 23.-After ap-
proving the report of the county as
SCISSOR of Coal county, the last to be
submitted, the state board of equaliza-
ton practically wound up its work for
the year at a meeting held Thursday

creased from $36.64 to $3.50 per head.
The valuation of the Kansas Natural
Gas company, which is three years in
arrears in its taxes, was left at $12,-
900 and the company is subject to the

taxes has been collected through his
department. In .Muskogee county, the
reports show that eight estates are
valued at nearly $1,500,000 and that
the taxes will amount to S13,750.09

1t is reported that very promi-
nent educator in Vinita was in grave
danger of great bodily harm last win
ter, for brutally maltreating and beat
ing pupil.
1t is also reported that our vigilant
prosecutor, refused to issue a warrant
for assault and battery against this
teacher when he was solicited to do
so
This may or may not account for his
being retired from office after one
term.
Teachers make a mistake in believ-
ing that children can not see and rec
ognize injustice-they make a mistake
lin trying to carry along with their
work lot Of rubbish called rules and
the sooner they recognize this fact.
the longer they will be teachers and
receive salaries commensurate with
their outlay of work
In concluding this article, | can not
do better than to quote the words of
Spencer:
Bear in mind the truth that the aim
of your discipline should be to pro-
duce a sELF-GOvERNING being; not
to produce being governed by others.
Were your children fated to pass their
lives as slaves, you could not too much
accustom them 10 slavery during their
childhood; but as they are by and by
to be free men. with no one to control
their daily conduct, you cannot too
much accustom them to seIf-control
while they are still under your eye.
This is what makes the system of dis
cipline by natural consequences, SO
especially appropriate to the social
state we have now reached"
Strike with hand of fire, oh, weird
musician. thy harp. strung with
Apollos golden hair Fill the vast
cathedral aisles with symphonies
sweet and dim, deft toucher Of the
organs keys blow, bugler, blow until
thy silver notes do touch and kiss the
moonlight skies and charm the lovers

THE SHAME or THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.

Editor Chieftain:
IN the issue of The Leader of last
May, Immediately following the dis
missals of school at Success School
House, 5 miles east of Vinita, the
following item appeared:
Success school closed last Friday
night with one of the most successful
terms in its history Patrons and
pupils were we'll pleased, and Prof.
Tressler did not whip a single pupil
during the entire term"
Unconsciously, perhaps the writer
of the items to the Leader from the
vicinity of Success school house, gave
the reason for the great success Of
the teacher. He had the confidence
and respect Of his pupils and did not
have to resort to that relic of bar
barism, corporal punishment. We
have on the statute books laws govern
ing the beating of domestic animals,
and yet we will stand stupidity by and
allow a half-baked school teacher with
a half ounce of brains in the back of
his head, to whip a child for some
slight infraction of her or his peculiar
God Given Rules
It is very encouraging to drop into
a school house and see written on the
black board some ten or twelve COM
mandments, COPIED after the style OF
the Mosaic lot perhaps), which recite
sundry and divers punishments for
any fracture of the same, and above
the aforesaid blackboard, a gad about
feet in length.
It is a shame and disgrace to the
boasted civilization of the 10th cen
tury that this condition of affairs pre-
walls, and Imake the statement with.
out fear of successful contradiction
that at least four-ffths of the money
expended for the public schools in this
county, both in the cities and in the
country is worse than wasted.
The system of teaching is entirely
wrong.
In the first place pupils should be
taught something that will benefit
them here and now, and the peculiar
talents of each pupil should be drawn
out. Education is nothing but draw
ing out, and the kindly philosopher
Froebel. has shown such to be the
case by his experiments along this
line.
OF course, some little high school
Miss, in her teens who is alleged to
be teaching and who is being courted
by two or three beaux on Sunday and
three nights of the week, hasn't time
to investigate the methods of Spencer
Froebel, or Pestalozzi. She win tell
you very glibly that she never is par
tial to any Of her pupils and that
some of her boys are awful bad and
just have to be punished--have to be
whipped; but it is always the smaller
ones
