The piece discusses church controversy over judging members and rooting out perceived sin. It warns ministers and laypeople against harsh zeal, urging patience and adherence to Christ’s example. It cites Biblical standards such as by their fruits you shall know them and warns against impulsive expulsions of the weak.
The Globe and Chieftain announce a contest to gather names and photographs of the most beautiful women in Indian Territory towns including Vinita. Submissions, starting Monday, will be judged by imperial judges for representation at the World’s Fair.
The Memphis and Frisco line from Miami will not reach Vinita directly. Division headquarters for the route would bring an eating house and hotel, with costs estimated at 135000 more than a terminus at Afton and 160000 more than reaching Pale land. Maintenance adds to the expense, making funds scarce for citizens. It remains undecided whether Afton or Fair fond becomes the fortune center.
Editor notes objections to a Cherokee treaty, arguing ratification would be unlawful. The writer cites a Cherokee law clause limiting land holdings and requiring a report to the Dawes Commission, contending the delegation was not properly confirmed and action should follow established procedure.
A fragment outlines debate over legal dates for Cherokee treaty ratification and who may be guardian for voters. Separate item reports Mitchell facing charges after a preacher’s revival era, with witness Mrs Gambill detailing alleged nightly thefts of chickens and goods, plus back wages claimed.
Mr Parker withdraws his candidacy for alderman from the Citizens Goker ticket. He says he allowed his name to support a non partisan movement because Sam and others oppose injecting politics into local affairs. He cites cooperation of individuals for national policy beliefs not tied to local municipal office. None of the gentlemen on the ticket remains.
A letter argues against the Democratic ticket endorsing nonpartisan aims, accusing factionalism and stressing local town interests over candidate qualifications. The writer, LF Pauwen, refuses advocacy for a ticket seen as propping up a disgruntled faction.
