Oweing to matters of general
import to us, and circumstances
over which we had no control, we
were restrained from publishing
the Progress last week. And this
week, our time being limited, we
can offer you but a half sheet,
hence we beg the indulgence of
our readers for failing to the

in the future not to let this occur
again, and to make the Progress

u. s. Inspector Armstrong.

Gen. Armstrong, U. S. Indian
Inspector, who has been making
inquiries in relation to the lum-
berjng operations which were
carried on during the past winter,
IN this reservation, made the
Progress office pleasant call this
morning. He impaired to US much
useful information relative to the
different tribes of Indians he has,
at different times, visited. His
policy towards the Indians is fully
in accord with ours. Very few
men have better general knowl-
edge Of the Indians, and keener
perception Of the best methods of
governing and civilizing them.
And if the vacancy which is about
to be occasioned by the resigna-
ton of Commissioner Atkins was
filled by some man who has such
a general knowledge of the Indians
as Gen. Armstrong, we venture to
say much of the troubles upon In
dian reservations would be obyi-
ated.

About Pine Contracts.

The rejection of the contracts
for logs cut on this reservation du-
ring the past winter would result
in placing individual dues, to the
amount of $21, 1000, where they
would be Of no benefit to any one.
Hence we are in favor of an i'm
mediate settlement of the matter.
To delay the matter would not be
beneficial to any body. Oweing
to the present condition of things
the prices paid are probably as
high as the logs could be sold for
at this time of the year.
The position taken by us in re-
lation to Mr.. Darling's letter
should have nothing to do with
reference to an immediate SETTLE
ment of the contracts. What
could have been obviated last Jan
nary, and which would, undoubt-
edly, have been of benefit to our
lumbermen then, is of no conse-
quence now, and it remains with
the Indian department., after it
has ascertained the facts, to say
whether the agent has done his
duty in the matter or not, as also
towards the Indian lumbermen.
We do not modify our views a
particle in relation to Sheehan's
action in the matter, and we still
maintain that he was derelect in
his duty, or favored Mr.. Walker
by not making known NJ. ). Oar.

We have always aimed to rep

resent the best interests of the
Indians, and we do not deserve
the censure, extended to us, and
by those who howled the loudest
last winter in relation to this mat
ter.
Some of the agency employees,
will, of course, continue to make
the agents quarrels their own,
and too much credence should not
be placed in their statements.

states that nine-tenths Of the rail

WE MUST HAVE LAW.

In recent interview with a
Daily News reporter, a gentleman
conversant with the present meth.
DDS of living on an Indian reser-
walton. under the supervision of
an Indian agent, and who, by the
way, is well acquainted with the
people and the condition of affairs
OF this reservation, thus truthfullv
sets forth facts and suggestions,
which are deservedly worthy of
favorable consideration by all who
feel an interest in lettering the
conditions of the Indian and pro-
noting the progressive measures
of "a higher civilization, and thus
speed the day when the last re-
naming vestige Of barbaric intol-
erance and the humiliating man
dates of petty autocracy shall be
wiped out forever from within the
boundaries of the Lone Star
State.
"The curse Of the Indian reser-
walton is the Indian agent, govern
ment warehouse, and tribal laws
and traditions. These the agent
is apt to foster in order to keep a
tat position and as long as tribal
customs is encouraged among them
lit is no use to attempt to intro
duce the civilized ways of the
white man. They will cling to
their old methods of living, and
as long as they can get free rations
from the government warehouse
through the Indian agent, they
will never work. The first thing
which will have to be done is to
establish a provisional government
among them, similar to the pres
ent method in vogue among the
Cherokees, providing a general
council, which will be elected by
ballot ...
Among The Indians Themselves
and who will have charge of every
thing pertaining to the govern
ment Of the people. Steps will
thus be taken to break up the
tribal relations. In this way only,
the Indian problem can be solved
and the Indians finally brought
more and more into the manners
and customs of civilized people,
With out law and order, progress,
in any industry, is out of the ques-
ton. Without system, and that
system in the hands of the people
of community or the people in
terested, the prosperity Of such
community will ever remain un-
stable. r.
What is wanted then, is law
and ORDER and that law system
lied to be in accord with existing
conditions and circumstances, and
gradually tending to a higher or
der of methods and practice. And
when this becomes established,
the prosperity of community can
safely be looked upon as an assured
fact, and its people will then be
merged into the wholesome sun
shine Of christian enlightnent,
and the ever widening paths of
new civilization.

Mr.. Atkins are agent SHEEHAN,

COOK Ga parsonage occupying a
position of responsibility in the
Indian Office RESPONSIBLE for the
turmoiIs and disturbances upon
THIS reservation!
We suggest therefore that if
quiet is to be restored that these
individuals be relegated to private
sphere of action, or if not that
they be transferred to positions
where their influence for good can
be made more patent. They have
SO immeshed themselves in the tan

cabal which has

We assure the Hon, Secretary
that iMculties can not cease so
long as these personages have any
hand in the management Of Indian
affairs.
SO far as we can ascertain, Mr..
Upshaw is a man whose authority
has been, even greater than that
Of Mr.. Atkins. Consequently res
possibility for maladministration
rests with proportionate degree up
on him.
Miss Cook has long been in the
Indian department., and her judge
ment has become to be looked up
on as almost infallib1e. As in re-
hgion SO in civil matters, there is
no infallibility, and we Judge that
the conduct of Indian affairs will
not fall into ruins if her ''presence

wished for, and now as the end
draws nigh, it promiser a condi-
ton of things for the future, which
Will BE for the Better.
We have felt that the series &c
events which have taken place On
this reservation, and those of
Wisconsin in the near past, and
those now daily occurring, is a
warrant for the expectancy, which
if not held, should have been, in
the minds Of conscientious peo-
pie.
Now that Mr.. Atkins occupies
a position before the public of one
whose resignation is a foregone
conclusion, we will say that the
proposed step is one which should
have been taken long ago, since it
was part and parcel of his creed to
carry out policy inimical to the
interests of both the people Of the
country and the wards of the Gov,
ernment. So far as we can see.
nothing in his policy during his
term of Office has been marked by
wise craftsmanship, benevolence,
or even shrewd policy. He has
never shown himself equal to any
great emergency, and where any
such has arisen has simply "put
his foot into it, In large and
small things, he has made himself
conspicuous only by reason of pur-
suing that course which has led
him into difficulty, and antago-
nism with those whose interests
he is supposed to guard.
For one thing we may mention
his (in)famous ruling on the use
of the native tongue in Indian
schools, Of whatever sort. We do
not find fault with his effort to re-
strain the use of spoken language
in educational institutions. but
it was going beyond reason to ar
bitrarily decree that instruction of
any sort should not be in the YER
nacular. Again in the face of
that sentiment which has arisen
recognizing the right of the indi.
vldual and the community upon
reservations to petition and re-
monstrate, he has time and again
acted
Like the Autocrat Of Past Ages
or the rude potentiate of uncivil-
lied countries.
Where just sense of honor and
right sentiment has moved legis-
lators to consider the remonstran-
ces of interested parties, he has
stepped outside of his proper do
main to cast ungenerous reflection
upon remonstrator and honorable.
legislation. And what are his ex-
In matters regarding this
reservation, his motives have been
those simply Of
Personal Bitterness,
famed by the false representations
Of local management.
A public officer is supposed to
sit in Judgment righteously; to
condemn none unheard; to de-
cree not upon exparte statement;
but in no case has he done this.
Any effort to obtain correct re-
port he has opposed sstooth and
naip' and against it, thrown the
weight and influence Of his official
position.

For each minute night and day, by the

part of it has beea used in making 6,673
cigars and some of it has gone up ia the
smoke of 1922 cigarettes. Every minute

The Tapestry weavers.


Let us take to our hearts lesson-no lesson can
From the ways of the tapestry weayers on the other
side Of the sea.
Above their heads the pattern hangs they study it
with care,
The while their fingers deity work. their eyes are
fastened there.
They tell this curious thing besides of the patient
plodding weaver
He works on the wrong side evermore, but works
for the right side ever.
1t is only when the weaving stops, and the web is
loosed and turned,
That he sees his real handiwork-that his marvel
Gus skill is learned.
All, the sight ofis delicate beauty how 1t pays him
for all his cost!
No rarer, daintier work than his, was ever done by
the frost.
Then the master bringeth him golden hire, and
giveth him praise as well:
And how happy the heart OF the weaver is, no
tongue but his own can tell
The years of man are the looms of God, let down
from the place of the sun,
Wherein we are weaving alway, till the mystic web
is done.
Weaving blindly, but weaving ely; each for him
self his fate;
We may not see how the right side looks, we can
only weave and wait:
But looking above for the pattern, no weaver need
have fear;
Only let him look clear into heaven-the Perfect
Pattern is there.
If he keeps the face of our Saviour forever and
always in sight,
His toll shall be sweeer than honey his weaving is
sure 10 be right
And when his task is ended and the web is turned
and shown,
He shall hear the voice OF the Master it shall say to
him: well doneg'
And the white-winged Angels of heaven, to bear
him thence shall come down,
And God for his wage shall give him-not coin,
but golden crown.
