ViXtTA,
I.T., Ava 14,1903.
Tho ritlfioatlon of tho troftly
horAfrls the dawn of enfranchise
ment. Tho Ohorokoa Nation will now
set a development pace for the en.
tire louthwoet.
' Vlnlla did nohly, and WllJ Iroap
with her couniry allies Jtfo great
benefit of tbe gloriousrfctory.
When tho cltjtene of Indian
Territory Bhoe bo political
dook carpoUgge will not be
trumps. .
With (he roll rapidly noarlng
4omj)leipn It is about time for the
government to announco uib 100a
tlorisoftbat land offlce at Vinlta.
N6w that thn battle la over the
Cherokeo izuy not "wear a crown"
but ho will nave the comfortable
foollrig of a title in his near side
pooket.
If a littlo more ami treaty cam
paigning had been conducted in
Gooseneok district the treaty
would no doubt have carried unan.
imously.
The official vote on the treaty
ne shown hy the count at Tab
Icquah will be a glowing com
mentary on tho intelligence of the
Cherokee people.
Thoso sailors who deserted the
President's yacht on account ol
poor food woro evidently not ac
corded tho same privileges as
Bookor Washington,
There are a score of towns in the
Tcrritorr which can be clarsed aB
"good towns." Vinita is in a class
by horeelf and justly deserves the
title of "the best town."
Tho presenco of a professional
juror lowers the dignity of any
court o( justice, and is a menace
to tho public safety which is sup
posed to rest in tho courts.
The Cherokee Nation has broken
.the eliacklea which bound her to
the past. Now for a united tflbrt
from all her peoplo to carry her
forward to a glorious future.
The Cborokees have epokon.
They have spoken for progress and
all (no croakers in the Nation can
.not prevent the great forward
t movement inaugurated yesterday.'
' There is nothing joyful in lhe
' approuohing term of court to the
bootlegger or joint keeper. 'They
have had their innings, now jus
- tice will take a whirl at the game.
Vinita is ideally located for a
jobbing point. In splendid com
munica'.ion with a number of
thriving towns, this city should be
come the distributing point of all
this rich section.
There is no time to discuss bow
it happened. It is a glorious reali
ty, and the 7th day of August, 1902
will go down to the generations to
come as the brightest day in
Chorokes history.
If the district attorney's office
maintains the same ratio of con
victinns as shown by the last re
port, Leavenworth will receive a
big bunch f territory boarders at
the approaching term of court.
With self government the In
dian Territory will become a verit
able graveyard of political aspira
tions. The selection of officials
by Washington and by the people
of the Territory will be marked by
their difference.
Tho lesson in economy taught
the Cherokee farmer last year
should save bim money during
the present prosperous times.
There is no man who can afford to
waste that which is given bim in
return for his toil.
Every town situated as Vinita is
owes suoh entertainments as the
proposed street fair and carnival
to their country friends. The town
which tolls thorn (heir supplies
should supply them with en occa
sional entertainment.
"Confidence" is in the very air
today. Confidence as to the fu
turo of the Cherokee people; con
fidence as to the future of evory
individual who accepts the glori
ous opportunities- which will be
afforded him in this great country.
The value of Vinita'e magnifi
cent water eupply is becoming
more apparent every day Other
territory towns ae being heavily
bonded to bring inferior water
from long distance, while at a
q unparatiVf ly small expense a
j-icf of wator works can be
bull bye. wnloli will supply Ino
trfty 'wWli an inexhaustible supply
of h absolutely pare water.
From March 14, 1900 to July 31
1902 there woro forty nine national
banks organized in the Indian ter
ritory having a combined capital
slook of (1,535,000. Everyone of
these banks is today doing a eplen
did business.
For sale or exchange, one tern
tory worth a few hundred millions.
Will sell for a vote In a gerry
mandered district or exchange for
the privileges of mixed ewioolt,
Apply at headquarters of the
Greek Annexation League.
The merchants will soon be re
ceiving their fall stock of goods
embracing all of tho materials and
Btylea o bo found in the metro
politan establishments. There is
no excuse for any Vinilan patro
nizing any of the mail department
stores..
Tho latest dispatch from Oyster
Bay announces that after an ex
citing contest tho marbles of tho
juvenilo Roosevolt are rattling in
the paternal jeans. Tbis latest
triumph it is thought will guaran
tee the renomination of Teddy the
Talented.
In the great era of development
which will soon be inaugurated in
the Cherokeo Nation the opportu
nities of Vinita will be almost lim
itless. Tne acknowledged Bocial,
political and commercial capital
of this great country, she will ever
lead the vanguard of progress.
Those who were sincere in their
opposition to the treaty will be
among the first to acknowledge the
beneficent results ot ratification.
Those whose opposition was in
spired by selfish motives or in
fluenced by a corruption fund will
skulk like coyotes and will com
mand about tho same respect.
While realty in Vinita is des
lined to rapidly increaeo in legiti
mate value, yet it will be n diellnot
detriment to tho town if the largo
property owners place prohibitive
values on their holdings. With
tho great business and residence
advantages Vinita offers the in
vestor and homoeeeker, a fair val-
uat'on of property is all that if
neensary to insure a rapid and
substantial increaso in population.
It is to be hoped that the libe'a
on tho Cherokee people which
have been so industriously circu
lated by Washington correspond
ents will now cease. It has been
repeatedly charged that they wero
unprogroBeive and stubborn. Thoy
have been stubborn only in the
protection of their rights, and the
first equitable settlement proposed
by the government has been over
whelmingly ratified.
The amount of time and money
expended on wild eyed political
schemeB, such as the Creek An
nexation movement is simply
amazing. The political destiny
of the territory is manifest to ail
except these hMant fakirs who
offer her millions of wealth for
sale or barter with tho same non-
chalence as their contemporary
street poddlers passes out a bunch
of collar buttons.
"To the Muskogee Phoenix
money moves type."--Ardmoreite.
With the above as a text the Mus
kogee Times has taken a bard fall
out ol the Phoenix for advocating
the piecemeal addition of the In
dian Territory to Oklahoma. The
Times is right but should not ex
pect anything else from that type
of party organ. Tho territory is
full of them. When not foisting
a lot of disgusting rot dedicated to
their political masters on
a nauseated public, they are at
tempting to boom tho schemes of
a bunch of cheap politicians. From
the usual tones emanating from
the particular organ referred to
the ebony digits ot Sango are evi
dently thrumming the editorial
keys.
From chemical anatyuis made
of some of the popular territory
drinks by a Boston temperance
lecturer some interesting results
are given. The so called "meads"
are about as soothing to the stom
ach as a bunch of red ants. The
"hop" products are also very
beneficial, operating on the inter
nal organs with the same strenu
oslly as a swarm of Kansas grate
hoppers. There is little cause for
wonder at the vagaries of the ter.

HIGH CARNIVAL
Will Rolen In Septembor if
Present Plans Do Not
Miscarry.
ELABORATE PLANS
Pro.l Jfor the '
anoarnival I
Three Day Fair
Promotora are
Interesting the Merchants
In the Undertaking,
If the present planB for tho car
nival and street fair during tho
latter part of September do not
miscarry Vinita will onjoy threo
days of merry cntorlainment.
The company recently organized
to promoto the affair have out
lined plans embracing nearly every
medium of entertainment.
It is proposod in connection with
the street fair and trades display
to convert North park into n mid
way with its attendant Bide shows.
Balloon ascensions, open air
shows, etc., will aesiBt in making
the entertainment of tho visitors
continuous.
The expenso incident to promot
ing the undertaking is very heavy
and those in charge will request
the assistance of the merchants in
making it a success.
It ie proposed to advertise the
celebration moBt extensively, and
the promoters aro confident of tho
attendance of tho entire country
side.
If tho assistance of tho mer
chants can be enlisted in tho un
dertaking, the date will be set at
once, and preparations made to
close tbe contracts with a number
of desirable shows.
Owing to the elaborate plans, as
proposed by tho company, a later
date than at first announced will
probably be set for tho inaugrallon
of tho festivities.
The company promises the big-
gest celebration in tho history of
the town if they receive tbe co ope
ration of the merchants.
IS LOSING STRENGTH,
Annexation Movement In Creek Na
tion Losing Follower.
A dispatch from Tulsa, where
the annexation party in the Creek
Nation was supposed to be especi
ally strong, says:
"It la believed by many well In
formed persons that the annexa
tion scheme whereby the Creek
Nation may be attached to Okla
homa is loeing iniluonce daily.
Bu-iness mon assert that it is a
political work which attained its
greatest sizo at birth, and is des
tined to defeat when viewed from
a business point.
"They assert that they are un
willing to be shorn and bled by
political gralters, aB the Osage na
tion is by Pawnee county, Ok.
They deolare their property is
taxed to death to onrioh a people
wbose)intereetsare foreign to those
of the taxpayers. It is doubtful if
any respectable number of busi
nessmen r-lil attendthe annexation
convention at Okmulgee next Mon
day."

The Cherokee nation with her
great reserve of undeveloped
wealth cannot afford to delay the
day of ita development. With the
ratification of tbe treaty the way
wus opened and there is no Bori
ous obstacle to a great forward
movement. The other nations

tural lands; with hills seamed
with veins of coal and mineral of
fer alluring inducements to the in
vestor and homeseeker. Eastern
capital is seeking investment
away fiom the congested money
centers and no section oilers the
same inducement as the territory.
The Cherokee nation is the most
favored section of this great coun
try, hut it must be announced to
tbe world that the bars are down.
That where before tbe nation was
in tho grip of the fow, that now
each citizen will be placed in
possession of bis own and will
welcome assistance in ita develop
ment. With the development of
the oil, coal and mineral lands, in
connection with the great lagr.'cul
tural area, prosperity with all its
attendant blessings will settle up
on tbis favored land,
