From present indications 'tho

his grip on any of the coin in the

the efforts of a first claes safe

veil la considered by many as oc
cupying the same positl. n as the
nigger on the safety vuve of a
Mississippi steam boat, as he is li
able to tufler most from the re
sulting explosion.
All the many avenues of trade
and commercial enterprise will bo
handicapped until the Indian tor
ritory has a Btabh form of govern
meat. None of the multitudinous
resources of this country will be
fully developed while present con
dilions exiBt.
IteporU from the Cherokee or
phan neylum indicato a deplorable
state of affairs. A large number
of the children are down with ty
phoid fever and an air of general
neglect prevails about the place.
This should not continue, and it. Is
a shame that it has reached the
point of a public scandal.
It is tho remark of visitors from
the states that tho territory towns
show more activity in the way of
growth and business than do towns
in other sections of the country.
Nearly all the towns in the Indian
country show unprecedented
growth this year, despite the unto
ward renditions (hat prevail.
About the unhappiest individ
ual in the Indian Territory at
present, is tho man who is op
posed to single statehood and sees
that It is inevitable. Wo have
many excellent people holding
office by appointment, but when
tho people get a chance to vote,
the ban will be on every mother's
son of them.
It will be observed that those
who are opposing single statehood
are generally men who nre looking
out for political preferment. The
quiet citizen sees no reason for
either making two elates or for de
lay in making one, The people of
the Indian territory are fully capa
ble of self government and should
have, it as soon as congress can
givo it to them.
The apathy of a large element in
the Indian territory in regard to
self government is about the
strongest argument that can be ad
vanced against the conferring of
statehood. Any person who ac
cepts disfranchisement submissive
ly needs to be Americanized, and
it is fortunate indeed that these
willing nonentities are in the mi
norlty.
There are many reportB being
made, and by interested persons,
with reference to statehood all
tending to keep the Indian terri
tory from having a hand in mak
ing the slate constitution when
Oklahoma is admitted, Tho in
tention is manifestly unjust to the
400,000 people in the Indian lerri.
lory, and ought not to be allowed
to materialize.
Tho citizens of the Indian Ter
ritory are today but the serfs of
their leudal master, the secre
tin' of the interior. They are ex
isting in a bondage that has sent
armies afield to battle for the po
ltttcal freedom denied them. S'u
pfclidoiis treasure ond priceless
blood have been sacrificed in
tboso struggles, that fearful as
they may have been, are the most
reasfuiing pages in all history,
chronicling, sb they do, man's
valuation of God's given fieedom.
The cheering intelligence comes
from Vinitr tlwt cilizsns of that
town are contributing to the work
of improving the roads leading in
to Vlnita. At present the road
question is a big one, and the
lowiis that build them are doing a
work that will lead tu increased

Tho Dawes Commission will
conclude its thirty days titling at
Vinita, bearing svidence in rebut
tal in tho doubtful freedmen cases,
tomirrow afternoon. The com
mission will then adjourn t" po to
Tahlequah, at which plafl- Huv
begin next Monday and aro to re
main there thirty dayB. About
ono-lmlf the cases docketed have
been heard and thero aro many
months work ahead of tho com
mission yet. Tho injunction of
Judge Gill, .if made permanent
will bhorlen tho work, bb several
hundred names nre included
among those who are not upon
any of the rolls of Cherokeo citi
zens. As to union with Oklahoma it is
generally conceded that that is
what will eventually happen. A
proposition to make two stales
out of this territory and Oklaho
ma would not gel a dozen voles In
either house o' congress. No well
Informed person believps (hat two
statoB will bo made out of tho or
iginal Indian Territory. There
will be a single Btato and its name
will be Oklahoma. The Chieftain
has no patience with the talk one
hears about bringing tho Indian
Territory in piece-meal. It hoe
the car-marks of the politician.
It originated in the brain of an of
ficeholder, and is propagaltd by
the cult who don't dare take their
chances in a popular election. To
admit Oklahoma to statehood with
a portion of the Indian country,
and then a. a subsequent period
take in the balance, would be lit
llo short of diegracelul. We ex
pect to be a part of tho great state
that is soon to be made of the two
territories. We want to come in
all at once, becauso we want to
have a voice in forming the con
slilutiou of the coming state. We
want an even break and access to
the ballot box. The rights of the
Indians could be protected better
under state laws than when left
to the uncertain ruling of the sec
retary of the interior.
It has been asserted by those
who oppojo statehood for the In
dion territory, that the fullblood
Indian will suffer; that taxation
would mean the confiscation of bis
land. Nearly everything lias been
charged to the poor, inoffensive
fullblood. He has been held re
sponsible for the failure of all the
agreements proposed in recent
years, and now lie is to be made a
scapegoat for the crowd who are
determined to head ofl statehood
with Oklahoma. The fullblood
would be especially benefitted by
statehood. Conditions in the In
dian country are about as deplor
able to the real Indian as can be
imagined. The fullblood has lost
everything dear to an Indian al
ready. His country is overrun
with whites, the game Ib destroyed
and the remnant of his race is
driven to the hills with every
means of livelihood swept away.
As an Indian he remains only in
tradition; his oounoil fire has long
since died out and he is a stranger
and a wayfarer In his own country.
The fullblood Cherokees are abso
lutely starving in the IiIIIb and he
is as poor ns he can ever get. It
were far better for him il he was
sandwiched between thrifty farm
ers and had the machinery of a
Btato government with which to
protect what little he has left.
Such talk ..oundu like the bitterest
irony, and calls to mind the old
fable of the wolf robbing the fox of
the lamb in order to punish the
former and protect the latter. The
congress of the United States owes
it to tho common Indian to give
him statehood as a matter of right.
A good many intelligent people
in the Indian territory believe
that Oklahoma is burdened with
debts. This impression is largely
due to the endeavor of three or
four newspapers to influence the
Indian territory against a union
with Oklahoaia. Oklahoma will
have in round numbers next year
one hundred million dollars on ils
Bssessmer.t rolls which is about
twenty-five per cent of the actual
value of the territory's property.
The indebtedness iB under a half
million dollars, or less than one
half of one per cent of the assessed
valuation of the territory. Against
this is an offeet of about $260,000
held in tho public building fund,
leaving a net territorial debt of a
quarter of a million dollar, or one
fourth of one per cent of an unusu
ally low valuation. Oklahoma has
not incurred all of its debt in the
erection of public buildings, hut a
goodly portion of it was so created.
The territory has considerably
moro than a half million dollars
invested in publio building, how
ever. Should Oklahoma and tho
Indian territory be joined into one
stato the Indian territory would be
the gainer. Uklaboma would turn
ovor the new coramonweulth valu
able publio buildings and cash en
ouch to build all of tho neoessary
additional buildings; publio school
endowment worth ten million dol
lars; an endowment for the higher
Institutions ai learning which is
worth at least two milllondollari';
and nropeHy to be used for publio
nuuuings mat win yield two mil
lion dollars. What will tho In.
dian territory bring into the part

Tho Chieftain will havo a repro

Thero Is no political signtfio ace
in the single Btatehood sentiment
that is just now manifesting itself.
On tho contrary il is against the
wishes of tho politicians in both
territories. The movement is
spontaneous and comes from a do
sire to throw ofl the voke of rarnel-
bagisra. If the consummation of
the express desire of the people is
hindered rind statehood delayed, il
will be the work of politicians and
Federal office-holders.

COUNTRY AROUND LONDON.

The phyilcal fact that London la sur
rounded by arm and woods and
meadows and that its streets, ter
races and rows ot semi-detached
houses do not extend to a distance ol
more than nine miles from Its ven
ter, Is merely one aspect of the fact
that London Is not larger than H Is.
It is not, however, this physical fact
ntone which tends to render the aspect
of. oar suburban coon try strange, saa
the Saturday Ittvlew.
What Is most striking; In It is not
the fact that it is country, but that
In many directions it is a country of
curiously primitive character. The
Tillages have all the air of Tillages
of the last century. There are
old Inns unchanged since the day of
Oaches, There are public houses
with signs swinging in the public
streets just as we see them represent
ed in Hogarth's pictures. There are
(jwlnt, secluded dwellings, half-cottage,
half-villa, which seem to belong
to the time of Strawberry Hill.
There nre farms and farm buildings,
oorekssly and picturesquely irregu
lar, like those which O-wrge Kllot has
described so well, as characteristic
sf the England which "Isted Before
the railways and the flrat reform bill.
And fair more strikingly primitive are
the looks and the demeanor of the
people. The rural laborers within
1-1 jh!Iii of London are as leisurely In
th4r gait, and seem as strange to the
hurry of modern life as the figures
which encounter one slouching along
a Shropshire lane or lifting their elder
kegs In s remote Devonshire field.
In point of dress, indeed, the former
are often more primitive than the lat
ter. ' It is in the country close to
London that the smock frock has
inrrlred longest. Smock t rocked plow
km only n few yesrs ago might be
