In looking over The HERALD files
OF few years ago one can find an
article which, at the time, was thought
to have been premature by many OF our
readers. 1t was titled Cash VS.. Credit,
III which the cash system was advocated
and the credit custom deprecated; it
pointed out the advantages of the one
and the dangerous results following the
other. One expression bears repetition:
The cash system is good thing for
people who pay cash and it is equally
good for those who don't; it prevents
them from riding that serviceable, pa
tient and much-abused horse-Credit-
to death" Since then, however, there
has been marked change in the mat
ter of credit, and it hasn't been hard

THE MILE Laos.
Chairman Campbell Has q Talk with
the ChiefA


the Chiefs.
MINNEAPOLIS. Sept. Is The ques-
tion of the removal of the Mile Lacs
Chippewa Indians from that reserva-
tion was discussed between Chairman
w. NJ Campbell and Mr.. Flint Of the
Northwestern Indian commission, and
Chiefs Moos-o-maws-nay. Ain-dus-o-
che-sig and Be-tud-anse of the Mile
Lacers, John Merrill being present as
interpreter The meeting was not pre-
arranged, but those chiefs were In Min
neapolis on other matters, and 1t was
arranged for them to meet the chair
man of the commission and Mr.. Flint.
The issue presented is, whether the
last remnant of those Indians will now
withdraw from the reserve, which is in
fact pretty nearly in the hands of white
settlers, who, in the vacillating course
of the government in it's various decis-
ions and revocations, have managed to
get control of the lands, with more or
less cover of authorization. There has
been already fully five years spent in
efforts to remove the Indians, anumber
having already yielded to the inevitable
and gone to White Earth. but the chiefs
have hitherto resisted all efforts to get
them and the remnant away, asserting
their undoubted rights there, when the
case is strictly construed in the light Of
all the treaties and federal promises.
Chairman Dar s. Hall devoted his en-
tire administration to the case and
Chairman Campbell has taken 1t up
where Hall left of.
With Robert Mckenzie as inter
prefer, Chairman Campbell informed
the chiefs what it was proposed to do.
in substance as follows: First. they did
not need any lawyer, referring to the
fact that Attorney and Mayor Richard
son of Little Falls, is understood to
have their cases in hand to prosecute in
the department at Washington. "If, v
said Mr.. Campbell, ''you do that and
win your cases, it will only be at the
end of years of litigation. The commits.
sion offers you everything now that
you would win then. except the actual
retention of your places on the reserva'
ton. In the place of that we Offer
you farm, each at White Earth, 8
I yoke of oxen and farming utensils
good house with shingled roof and
doors and windows. and food and
clothing enough to last until You havs
raised your first crop; besides this 1
school for your children, church o.
whatever denomination you prefer and
a doctor to attend yon when sick"
He had them told that they were OLE
men and, as chiefs, were responsible t
do the best they could for their people
and they should advise them to accep
the proffer. Hs informed them tina
he was we'll aware of the difference
that existed, and explained to then
how they had arisen. He said ais
that he thought the government SHOULD
not have withheld their annuities, o
which they SO bitterly complain. Il
conclusion Mr.. Campbell asked tn
chiefs to go home and consider th
matter, and when they wanted to Sc
him further let him know. @
