fnto the hands OF ehe rrafters The charge denied
with al the spirit justified We must admit the pasls-
lille grounds Of the matter presented Our informant
states that it is the land CRATER who is intensely inter
ested in and lighting the removal Of restrictions Tor the
following reasons
s.The land companies, grafters, sharks or whatever
called are now in control Of thousands Of acres OF the
Indians surplus lands controlling and handling them
under lease system If these companies had to pay for
land they could not do 90, and pay the Indians
reasonable much less market value Their lease system
gives them the time make the money on the lands
and to pay a ridcuousIy low price as rent
I've are reliably informed that these companies in
anv instances control all the surplus lands Of one In
dian for $50 year Many Of them general merchan
disc houses and furnish the Indians supplies charging
st price for goods and per cent interest on the
money invested BY the time the first year expires the
Indian viii owe the company, and win have to sell the
onefourth Of his land to them This repeated
from year to year until the Indian has only his home
stead left.
This class OF spectators would be ruined if the re-
strictons were removed This system puts the Indian
truly into the graters grip and makes sale OF land not
only possible but almost sure, at low value Reverse
this remove the restrictions from the adult Indians
surplus and ready sale to reliable parties with sharp
competition in prices would be the result

empt from restrictions, and many OF them need guar
dans as badly as do the fulblood Indians Since the
adult Indian will persist In leasing his lands and falling
into the land companys power he would not suffer On
the other hand if he could sell it at good price and at
once he might be stimulated to invest the full amount
to advantage.
ssWe would be glad to have communications on the
subject from leading If the Indian could sell he
would be surrounded by better class OF people who buy
land and build homes"

MEN or THE GRAND ARMY
Their Annual Encampments and Les
sons of Heroic Self-Sacri-
fee They Teach.

Once every year the soldiers OF the
civil war who still survive are accus-
toned to gather somewhere for their
national encampment. Three days are
given to reunions and business meet
ings and a parade. This practice, says
Youths Companion. has continued 50
long that it has become an old story
in all the northern half Of the coun-
try; for the grand army has encamped
both In Maine and in California.
It is an old story in one sense, but
a perennially new one In other senses
This year. for the third time, the
grand army held its encampment IN
Boston. The city was decorated, Of
course, and unusually crowded. There
were blue uniforms and black soft
hats everywhere. The same white
haired men marched in the parade. a
little stiffer in the knees and somewhat
fewer in number. and they were
cheered from end to end Of the route,
But there was nothing new about any
Of these things.
Yet the encampment as a whole did
produce-it always produces-some-
thing new and fresh; a rebirth Of pa
triotism, a acknowledgment OF the
debt due to these men, a new percep-
tion Of what the war cost them.
No one can watch the parade OF the
veterans without seeing that the vast
majority OF those in line are men In
moderate circumstances. They con-
slider themselves fortunate indeed that
they are able to be present at all
Thousands of their old comrades, they
will tell you, could not come because
Of the expense
Here is the new lesson which the en-
campment teaches, or the old lesson
which It constantly repeats-the life
long sacrifice Of the men who fought
and lived. as well as the short but COIN
plete sacrifice Of those who died
The war ruined the chances Of fnan-
cial success for tens Of thousands OF
soldiers, who. If they had been more
selfish and less patriotic. would be
richer to-day in the goods OF this
world; but how infinitely poorer both
they and we should bs in things which
wealth cannot measure or money buyl

A young man who lives In Minneapolis
has beaten the girls of the northwest
at their own game. He has taken the
first prize at the fair for fancy work,
a term which includes all kinds for tides
and dOilies and centerpieces and pin
cushions and embroidery and every 9th
er kind OF dainty work with the needle.
There is an element Of retribution in
this. The girls have been beating the
boys in school and in the university and
taking their jobs away from them in all
kinds OF business. II serves them right
to have a boy get with them on their
own ground and beat them all hollow at

preparation for the change. He must
