CREEK INDIANS
NAME CHIEFTAIN
George w. Hill Son OF A White Faith
er Is Chosen To This Elevated
Position.

OKMULGEE, Okla, Feb. 9--ln
the old Council House, which was the
seat Of government for the Creek In
dian Nation for more than third of
a century, but which now is a part
of the park system of Okmulgee, re-
representatives. Of the "A clans or towns
of the Greek Indian Nation recently
met and selected a member OF the
tribe to be elevated to the office OF
chief of the Nation or tribe. The
man selected is George W. Hill, the
son of a white father and full blood
Greek Indian mother. Hills name
will be recommended for appoint
ment as chief to the president OF
the United States, who makes the
appointment, and there is no doubt
but that Hill will be appointed, ac-
cording to those in close touch with
the governmental affairs Of the
Creeks.
If Hill is elevated to the office Of
chief he will be the tenth man to
be so honored by the Creek tribe
since the tribe adopted written con-
stitution in 1869 and many believe
that he will be the last chief Of the
Creeks.
Chieftain-elect Hill is 60 years old
and was born and has lived all his
life within the confines of the Creek
National lands. He is member OF
the House of Kings, the upper house
of the Greek legislature which no
longer functions officially. Hill also
served as a member of the Indian
Police in the territorial days, as DIS
trict attorney Of the tribe during tase
administration of Chief Sam Che
cote and as president of the board OF
education of the Indian schools tor
three terms. He is married and has
six children, three sons and three
daughters. all of who mlive in or near
I 0kmulgee.
The Creek Indian Nation was once
one of the greatest of North Amer
lean Indian tribes. 1t numbered a
I bout 10000 persons and owned in fen
more than 100000 acres of Okla
homa lands from which practically all
of the vast wealth derived from the
oil fields of this state have beeh
drawn. The Creeks migrated to ok'
lahoma from Alabama and Florida
under arrangements made in treaty
with the United States in 1881. Ihey
adopted a written constitution III
1869 and built capitol building IN
okmulpee the capital of the nation
in 1878. -.
The Creek governmental bodies
which used the council house consist
cd Of legislative, judicial and execu
five branches Of government, The le
oislatiye branches were the House o.
Kings and the House OF warriors
made up of representatives chosen D!
zach of the "A clans or towns OF tn
nation. The executive branch con
sisted of the chief and second chic
and there were the judges, a triba
treasurer and lesser officials, al
rejected by the tribe at large.
The affairs of the Creeks are no1
administered largely by the U.
Bureau of Indian affairs and tn
chief of the tribe is merely an hor
orary official with salary OF s1,2O
I per year. The prospective chief is
rancber and oil man and indepent
emily wealthy.

SINCERITY MARK
INAUGURATION
Continued From Page one)

President Harding, himself, recently
outlined the three major considera-
lions he adopted in the selection of
his cabinet members and they indi-
cate the measure of the men he has
chosen for his advisors. These con-
celebrations were:
First, there is mans qualifica-
lions for public service. This is the
most important consideration of all.
Second, there is the attitude OF
the public toward the man under
consideration. This of course, in
cludes the estimate Of the public con-
corning the man under consideration
"Tird, there is the political con
federation. AS to that-well. This
is going be Republican cabinet
And you may be sure II will be cab
Iinet of which the whole country will
be proud"
| AS to the immediate future It i
believed that President Harding ha
already given his approval to ten
tative tariff and revenue program 70
the special session of Congress. II
has outlined in a general way hi
views as TO this program and ha
depressed some very definite ideas o
several essential features of the Pre-
pose revision.

own and he has In this, as in all
other matters pertaining to his ad-
consulted with men
known TO be experts. II is believed
that President Harding will urge the
revision of the revenue laws and q
repeal of the excess profits tax in
favor of flat tax upon corporations
thus placing upon corporations their
due share in paying our enormous
war debt.
There is another matter of serious
moment which President Harding
must undertake to smooth out almost
immediately. That is the heritage
of the league of nations tangle left
by the Wilson administration. BY
the expressed will of the people the
United States has refrained from par
ticipation in the league of nations.
The orders of the people to the gov
eminent to desist from entangling
this country in the affairs of Europe
are mandatory. Mr.. Harding pledged
his administration on this subject
and the overwhelming majority given
his party in November was evidence
that the people backed his stand.
Having discarded the Wilson policy
and all of its qualifications the work
of promoting world peace must now
begin anew and in this work Presi-
dent Harding will undoubtedly be
the leading figure. 4
| Irrespective Of this great world
problem President Harding is faced
with several serious questions OF les
User magnitude which may be said to
have been bequeathed to him by his
predecessor. These problems are:
The establishment Of peace with Ger
many. The settlement OF our rela-
tions with all European powers. The
increasingly serious Japanese situa-
ton. The Mexican problem. The
question OF trade with Russia. The
very vital matter OF American inter
ests in China. The British attempt
to monopolize the oil supply Of the
world. The pending dispute over
cables. The question OF loans to for
. eign governments. The ever presen
problem OF Haiti, Santo Domingo an'
i, our relations with the countries o
Il South America.
= These are some of the things whlcl
!, faced President Harding today as h
- stood upon the temporary stand Il
front Of the capitol and took tn
oath of office as president OF tn
United States. And as he drove dow
Of historic Pennsylvania Avenue on hi
