tion. The tribal council voted to give
them full shares, but individual MEM
hers of the tribe resisted and car
ried the case to the United States
supreme court, which affirmed the
councils decision. And now the dis
tribution is finished. Mr.. Rogers has
stepped down from the headship CT
the tribe, and the Cherokees are or
binary citizens of Oklahoma. There
are row 41,798 members of the tribe,
including some 1000 full-blooded white
men who have been adopted into it,
and about 5000 negroes who are de-
scended from slaves freed in 1854.
Senator Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma
is a part-blood Cherokee.
Tribe Has Interesting History.
The Cherokees have history which
includes period of greatness, an age
Of decline, revival, and lately an
era Of remarkable. material and in
telleetual Improvement. They first
came into contact with white men, in
1910, at the time of De Soto's ex-
pedition. Much later ihe first Eng
lish settlers found them by far the
strongest tribe in the present South
Atlantic states, with their territories
extending back into what is now Ten
nessaa and Alabama. They are re-
mote kinsmen Of the Iroquois, and,
like them, were at that time agrieul-
turists and quite prosperous.
In 1759-60 they were at war with
the English, but soon made peace and
sided with tt ttffre British army in the
revolution. This was disastrous, for
they were pushed out of much of
their best territory when the colonists
eventually Won After the revolution
missionaries and traders went among
them, and they soen took on a con-
siderable degree of the civilization Of
their pioneer neighbors. The alpha
Eet invented by George Guess, or
Sequcyah, led to general education,
and in 1927 the tribe adopted con-
stitution providing for an elective
chief, a senate, house of represen-
tatives and judicial system.
Already, however, many of the more
conservative had migrated across the
Mississippi out of reach of the whites.
Shortly afterward gold was discov-
cred on their land in Georgia, and at
once the white population of the
state made desperate efforts to break
up the tribal system and bring the
Cherokees under the state govern
ment The matter was carried into
the supreme court, which upheld the
tribal autonomy, but President Jack

Tribe Split by Civil War.
At the time some Of the more OBJ
stinate or adv eottrous Cherohees
broke away and flad to the mou:italns
of North Carolina, where few years
later they were formally settled on
a reservation. Tiie.r descendants,
known as the eastern band, at pres
ent number about 2100; and from
how en- they continue as the sole or
ganized survival of the old Cherokee
tribe which in it's day controlled the
entire southeastern section of the
country.
The march across the Mississippi of
the great body of the tribe was ac-
companied by many hardships, and
several thousand of them died on the
journey. In the following year they
formally united with the Cherokee
settlers who had gone before, and
from that time on to the civil war
the tribe prospered greatly.
Then came a setback. Being slave
holders, the tribe at first sided with
the Confederacy; but before long old
internal animosities revived and
many of the warriors went over to
the federal party. The result was
internecine war, and the nations ter
ritor;es were devastated in turn by
both Federal and Confederate armies
After the war, however, the tribe
entered on period of remarkable
prosperity. The Delawares were in
lcorporated into the tribe in 1867, and
the Shawnees in 1870. The majority
of the tribe were peaceful and indus
trious. and for long time they have
ranked as the highest of the native
tribes of the United States.
The Cherokees have syllable al
phabet of eighty-fve characters, in
vented by George Guess, or Sequoyah,
about 1909, and formally adopted by
the tribe in 1921. Since then con-
siderable literature has sprung up,
and IIalequah, the tribal capital, has
become quite an educational cente'.
Sequoyah's syllabary system was later
adopted by missionaries in creating
an alphabet for other Indian Ian
guages.

Catholics are today celebrating the
feast of st. Blase. bishop OF Sebaste'
who was msrtyred in the year SIG.
1t is on this day that the ceremony
or blessing the throats takes place in
commemoration of the saint. According
to a legend he was a physician before
he was raised to thS Episcopal see In
Armenia. At the time of the persecu-
ton of Licinus he was taken prisoner.
and at the command of the Governor
was beheaded.
While in prison awaiting execution
he is credited with performing a won
derful cure on a boy who had swAl-
lowed a fish bone and was in danger
Of choking to death. on the feast Sday
the blessing of st. Blase. or Blaslus, Is
given in all Catholic churches. Two
candles are consecrated, generally by
prayer and then held over the heads
Of the faithful or touched to the throats
of the people.
1t is the belief of Catholics that this
blessing will protect them from throat

Che Government would be an economy
not an extravaganza, in the opinion OF
Secretary of Commerce william c. Red
field.
Secretary Redfeld has long studied the
uension problem and the needs for some
such system in the Government service
in Washington during his years in Con-
Eress. When he became a member Of
President wilson's Cabinet he attacked
the pension problem with renewed
yISor. 1t was largely a presentation OF
his views as business economy expert
that led the President and his Cabinet
10 take up consideration OF pensions.
Secretary Redfield has placed before
the President the recommendations in
his annual report, together with an ad-
ditIonal statement of the needs of such
q system and the benefits to the Gov
erlment. as well as to the workers.
Will Submit Plan.
No definite plan to be Incorporated
iTto the Administration legislative pro-
gram has yet been advanced.
In his statement given 90 the Presi-
cent, Secretary Redfeld said:
The problem Of utilizing the services
OF aged employees to the best advantage
is constantly becoming more difficult
of solution. The growing volume of
work, the demand for increased eff
cheney, and the introduction of new
methods and ideas require the services
Of men and women whose minds are
active and capable Of development It
seems inconsistent that the Govern
meut should expend large sums of
money in attempting to procure proper
~ equipped eligibles to enter its employ
and at the same time retain on its
rolls those who have long passed their
usefulness.
Demotion No Remedy.
The heads OF bureaus are reluctant
TO discontinue the services of superan-
nuated clerks. for to do SO would in
most cases deprive the latter of their
only source of income. Demotion is
bUt a pallation, and does not fully meet
the difficulties Of the case. 1t would,
therefore, seem to be only lust to pro-
vide in some manner for the retirement
OF such employees on annuities at least
partly commensurate with the rates of
pay which they have been receiving. In
some cases, the reduction of force pos
sible through the greater efficiency OF
younger men and women, would 90 far
70 meet the cost Of these annuities'
Secretary Redfield has other decided
ideas with respect TO the Government
personnel.
He would amend the law OF apportion-
Inent SO that the employees coming into
the Government service would represent
the acme of efficiency obtainable

The Washington times., 1914-02-03

In reference to the bill authorizing the
construction and operation of a munich
pal asphalt plant, the Commissioners
direct attention to the successful and
economical operation of a portable
municipal asphalt plant, the purchase
of which, at a cost of $500, was au-
thorized in the District appropriation
bill of 1913.
This plant, which is. being used for
repair work, gives ample indication they
say, of the greater economy which
would result from the. use Of perma-
nent plant.
The saving which would be effected
by the operation Of a permanent plant,
the report states, would be based on the
saving of contractors profits, saving in
the cost of inspection, and the absence
of adverse interests between the agency
doing the work and the agency paying

The bill providing for an investigation

on recommendations of the clean city
