The agent urged the Indians to

place his foot on their necks as to
have his bill become law, and
that Mr.. Nelson's object was not
to relieve the Indians but to make
himself a big chief by opening
up this reservation for his Nor
wegians to settle on He advanced
no argument against the bill, but
simply contented himself by mis-.
representing to the Indians it's
provisions, and abusing Mr.. Mel

Of doing this however, he kept
them under arrest after he had
come into the reservation, and
brought them to the agency.
This matter should be looked
into by the White Earth people,
and if the laws have not been
complied with, some action should
be taken in the matter by them.
For if the Indians who are, to
all intents and purposes, United
States citizen, are not allowed to
go outside of a reservation to earn
and HONEST living for themselves
and families, or engage in some
other legitimate vocation, without
being everlastingly subject to the
mental arrogance and plumbers of
unqualified authorities, and that
too, on the public highway, it is
about time that they should learn,
definitely, their rights (if they
have any, and we think they
have,) and their standing.

Fair, Sunny Tahita.

A Tahitian gentleman or lady
is a charming person to meet.
They are cultivated and refined,
the men have been educated in the
best universities in Europe. They
and their wives are Travelled, they
are thoroughly cosmopolitan and
they meet the stranger with a
knowledge of his customs as well
as of his language, and with a hos
pitality, simple, generous and de-
lightful. What with spearing fish
on the reef by torchlight, picnics
in cocoanut groves by the sea,
drives on the beautiful Broom
road under the cliffs and across the
lagoon by Pharaoh's caves, dinner
parties under banana leaf roof.
and reclining under the trees on
moonlight nights, the happy days
slip by unnoticed. But Tahiti ex-
acts an expensive tribute from the
stranger for the happiness he has
felt--he can take but the memory
away and a longing to be back in
dear, lazy, sunny Tahiti. Cor.

Communication.

The authorities at Washington,
as we'll as the missionaries differ
in opinion as to teaching Indians
wholly, or in part, in the English
language. It is an important
question. From a long experience
we do not hesitate to advocate the
use Of the English language exclu-
sively, as it seems to US the only
way to prevent the superstition of
his ancestors from following him
through life intermingled with the
light Of Christianity and it's con-
sequent civilization.
In India, for many years the
missionaries instructed the natives
wholly in their own tongues. But
The question arose, and was keenly
debated, whether it was not better
to teach the youth of India in the
English language. In 1929, a
missionary from Scotland-Alex-
snder Duff-virtually solved the
momentous question. He satisfied
himself that English should be
substituted for the vernacular;
not otherwise could European en-
lightment and the Christian relig-
ion possess India. In that belief
he founded an institution for the
training of young men Of the bet
ter class, and his signal success
led to the general adoption of his
system. In few years the Gov
ernor-general was able to state
that Duf's labors had produced
Unparalleled results.''
"For fifty years Hindu youth in
increasing numbers have recei, ed
an English education. A revolu-
ton of extraordinary magnitude
has been silently in progress du-
ring those years, and even now
points decisively to the ultimate,
although still remote, overthrow
Of Hindue beliefs and usages.'
(Mackenzie's 10Th Century,
To teach Indian youths partly
in their own language and partly
in English, perfects them in mel
ther. Their own is a barren, I'M
written, changeable language, in
teaching which in part, consumes
valuable time that should be given
to the study of English.
The teaching Of English only
has a tendency to draw them from
the religion Of their fathers, which
was a mere aggregate Of fables:
There are many small tribes each
having a language of it's own. To
unite them upon one reservation,
unless they shall be taught wholly
in English will not only deter their
advancement but make it very
difficult, ..
In every way possible they
should be induced to abandon and
forget the ways and teachings of
the wild man and seek only the
ways and teachings Of civilized
beings. With one hand in that
Of a missionary and the other in
the hand Of a pagan, the youth
may fall between the two. H..
Many of those from foreign
countries who seek homes in this
take great pains to have their
children taught only in the En-
glish language. The result is that
when grown to manhood, although
Of various nationalities, they are

guage, in thought and in man
ners. - -

Imprisoned by the Sheriff and kept
Under Arrest on Their Way thro,
the Reservation to the Agency.

On Tuesday afternoon, Sheriff
Narcross, Of Becker county,
brought to this agency eight In
dians whom he had under arrest.
charged with being off of their
reservation without a pass from
their agent The Indians being
released only on their arrival here.
These Indians were, at the time
Of their arrest, in the employ of
Charles Morse, driving logs on the
Otter-tail river, and were getting
$500 per day each.
This price was considered toe
low by some Of the white men (O
who had been promised employ
ment by Mr.. Morse, but who re-
fused to work for the same price
that was being paid the Indians
Upon the refusal of Mr.. Morse tt
pay the wages demanded $3.50 Fer
day. two Of the men (?) went tc
Detroit and swore out a warrant
under the above charge.

ed to Otter-tail river where he
took charge Of the Indians, who
offered no resistance, brought them
to Detroit and placed them in jail.
where they remained all night,
and on Tuesday he brought then.
to this agency.
A question now arises regarding
the authority for the issueing OF
these mandates.
The State Law provides that ii
an Indian is trespassing Oh the
lands Of a white settler, he shall
be removed therefrom by the sher-
if of the county in which the Of
Tense is committed.' And that
mo Indian shall be allowed tc
LEAVE his reservation without q
passport from the agent But
the law makes no provision re-
garding the disposition of an Indi-
an when found off of his reserva-
ton, and it would seem that the
attorney who advised this step,
had drawn on his imagination tc
make up for what he considered
was lacking in the law, and had
advised accordingly.
In this case the Indians were
IN fact, CITIZENS, having complied
with the Laws Of the State of
Minnesota, and were employed in
a legitimate business on PUBLIC
HIGHWAY, and were NOT ttresspass-
ing on the land Of any settlers!
And therefore, the action of the
authorities of Becker county was
"a shameless outrage against the
Laws of the country, moral decen.
cy and humanity!
We do not blame the sheriff for
doing his duty in serving the pro-
cess, but we believe that he has
laid himself liable in representing
to the Indians that the warrant
For their arrest was issued by the
U, S, Marshall which he did, &C.
eording to the statement made by
the Indians. And furthermore,
if the State laws authorized him
to bring the Indians to their res.
