had the following: There is a
general move being made by the
people in the central part of the
state to create a sentiment favor
able to the purchase of the Devils
Lake Indian reservation by the
government and the removal of
the Indians to Standing Rock
agency or somewhere in that vici.

belongs to the same tribe of
Indians. The Devils Lake Indians.
lost their annuities at the time of.
the Minnesota massacre in the
summer of '62, and have had prac-
tically no assistance from, the
federal government since, eking
out an existence on the proceeds
of timber sold the whites and max
ing bluff at farming.
A great many of them at the
present time time are starving and
the situation is assuming a most
serious aspect and it would appear
that the government will have to
make some move in the matter at
an early date, the only question
being as to the most feasible plan
to be pursued. The Indians are
wards of the government and can
not be allowed to suffer from the
pangs of hunger.
It is a question whether the
government, under the present ar
rangement. will do anything for
them, as it has been decided by
the supreme court under the Dawes
act under which the Indians took
their land in severalty, they are
citizens of the state and on the
same footing as whites and there
fore if utterly destitute would be-
come county charges, which of
course is entirely out of the ques-
ton, as the expense incurred would
bankrupt any county.
The majority of those in posi-
ton to thoroughly understand the
situation as it exists are of the
opinion that the. only feasible plan
is the one mentioned above the
sale of the reservation to the gov
ernment, the proceeds Of the sale
to be used in giving them a good
start in stock raising in locality
where stock is self supporting in
winter as well at summer, as Lo
utterly refuses to make the provi-
sion for wintering stock in this
section without which it is impos-
sible to carry on the business.
The Indians on the Devils Lake
reservation have proved dismal
failures as farmers. In raising
stock they have been MOI Q success
full, and we're the natural condi-
tions more favorable to that in
dustry, would get along fairly we'll.
There were l,l35 Indians on
this reservation at the last census
and the sale of the reservation at
reasonable price would give each
buck good start in stock raising

they would become self sustain.

SHOULD BE AMENDED.
Constitutions which AbrIdge Human Lib
erty Should Ba Made TO Conform to
Their Spirit and Intent,

How quickly things get out Of date
The guns and ammunition Of the war
for the union are more antiqunted
now than the flint locks Of the revolu-
ton were then. The war ships built
half dozen years ago are already
far surpassed by those which carry
guns that fire more rapidly. II Is so
in every department Of industry. The
machinery that is doing the worlds
work to-day Ia liable to go to the scpNp
heap tomorrow, The methods of
manufacture that prevailed yesterday
IRE thrown aside to-day for something
better. II Is only when II comes to
constitutions and laws made by men
that there is supposed to be any
superior eanctity or efficacy about
things that ore old. In other lines
of human activity, there Is constant
progress but here we are still hyp-
Noticed by the idea that the fathers
knew II all and we cannot hope to
improve on their creations. That
sentiment is largely responsible for
the social and economic troubles pre-
vailing to-day, and for the unrest
which gives the thoughtful statesman
so much alarm. We are growing, We
can less and less tolerate the straight
jackets with which we are bound.
We must have new garments and new
surroundings, suitable for present
conditions, or we must die. The oak
has got to break asunder the rock
that wedges II or cease TO live. 1t is
the rock though-the dead matter
that always gives way, and not the
oak. So the forces of life in the social
body are bound to break the swath-
ings OF law and custom in which they
have been confined. The longer the
effort to rcpress them continues, the
greater the Eject these forces will eX-
hibit when they do throw aside what
is restraining them. The old forms
must perish If the nation is to live
and grow The old constitutions
must give place to better ones II the
people arc to progress. The old laws
must be laid aside for enactments
fitted for the times If we are not to
have wild disorder and misrule. 1t

always the spirit that maketh alive

INCENTIVE UNDER SOCIALISM.
What Incentive WOnld TherS BE Under
Socialism for Man to Study for
Profession?

This question was asked the Appeal
to Reason by Charles Mooy. The APP.
peal answers:
What incentive is there for man
Of great income to drop his private
affairs and become president, n mem.
Der of the cabinet or the congress,
when the pay is not n 1.-THE of what
he is making? Would not Wander
bilts and others give more than their
income to become president? In other
words do you not see that approba-
ton of ones fellows is the strongest
incentive of all human eXertion, after
the needs of the physical body have
been cared for? All bad work is
the result of the incentive to get
wealth, though all incentive for
wealth is not bad work? Money will
not induce men to do good work who
are not fitted for 1t. For instance, no
amount Of money could hire you to
paint great picture or write book
worth reading unless you had a love
of pictures or literature and were
gifted by nature and developed by
environment for the work. Whatever
u man loves that he can and will do
best. A man who has not n natural
desire in matured understanding to be
a physician would and does make a
very poor one, who will do nothing
but harm at it. Men who seek pro-
fession merely because 1t Is a good
graft to squeeze money from their fell
lows never make the world wiser or
better. Humboldt loved his profession
and the world is better; Edison is in
love with his work and the world is
richer. All men of that character
need no other incentive than the love
of the work and the love of approba-
ton. Especially true under socialism
when any work would bring the door
of It all the needs of life. On this
point Rev. Il. NJ. Sprague says:
1T is objected that the state would
not be able to compel the indolent,
the shiftless and the obstinante to
labor. Mr.. Cook says of Looking
Backward 1T encourages socialism

NO RECoNcENTRADos.
Proud and Loya, American citizens VIII
Not Believe tho Administration IL
to Resort To Spanish Methods.

1t will be more comfortable for
proud and loyal American citizens to
await an actual Inauguration of the
reconcentrudo policy in the Philip
pines before believing that President
Mckinley has so far forgotten his
Americanism as TO adopt the inhu-
man Spanish method of waging war
upon stubborn subject people.
II seems incredible that suchO
method could even be contemplated in
Washington. Necessary as it is for
the Filipino rebellion TO be quelled,
there can be no justification for Il re-
sort to mode of warfare that would
shame the dark ages. Remembering
with what horror we heard the full
story of Spanish atrocities in Cuba,
the tale of dcsolatcd towns of starry
ing women and children, the pitiful
'reconcentrados" of the nineteenth
century inquisition. Americans will
refuse to believe, until belief is inn
perative, that we are now to take the
Spaniard's place in making such
crimes against civilization possible.
Nor must it be charged flat those
Americans who shrink from the
thought of such Il stain being placed
upon their country's good name are
traitorous Americans, Indifferent to
the national glory, lacking in love for
the flag, willing to see their govern
ment Inundated. They are good and
faithful Americans who would not
that their country should be guilty
of sin so black. They will be slow
to believe that such u sin is contem-
plated. They will be quick to con-
denim it and punish those responsible
for its commission. The bastard glory
of conquest must not be purchased at
q cost so appalling.-St. Louis
Republic.
