WHERE DO The INDIANS
COME IN?

A number of appointments have
been made recently POLITICALLY no
doubt Of assistant superintendent
Of logging and scalers under the
Morris Act.
Although nine of these appoint
ments were made not a member OF
the Chippewa tribe, which has the
deepest interest in the matter, was
appointed. lt.cannot be possible
that members of the tribe are
deemed incompetent to III these
positions, for we have men on this
reservation who are expert lunl-
bermen and scalers, and who are
honest too.
II Mr.. O'Neil, superintendent
Of logging under tine Morris Act,
and General Superintendent Farr,
are in earnest in what is for the
best interests of the Chippewas,
they should recommend the APP
pointment Of members OF the Chip
pewa bands of Minnesota instead
of going outside Of the State to
find men for this work.
On this reservation tilere is one
man in whom every Indian who
knows him has the utmost conf
dehce, and this is Mr.. Frank Por-
ter, who is at present engaged in
removing the Mile Lac Indians
Mr.. Porter is as honest as the day
is long, and he is thorough lum>
herman, having been engaged in
the business as foreman for him
bermen on the Snake and st. Croix
rivers for at least twenty years.
!! While employed in the Vicinity Of
Snake River he was considered the
hest foreman on that river. We
would suggest that the chiefs
should take steps to have Mr.
Porter appointed rs check scaler,
and to make an effort to have him
in charge OF the check scalers, and
there is no doubt that II it is pos
sible to get any fairness out Of the
Norris Act. he would get all there
is in it for TIE Chippewas, SO fan
at least as the scaling is concern

ALLOTMENT TIMBER.

Senator Clapp has introduced q
bill to permit allottees to sell the
timber on their respective allota
nrents Under rules to be prescribed
by The secretary of the interior.
This is move in the right direc-
ton, but we believe it would be to
the best interests of the allottees
if there were no restrictions placed
upon thenAs they should be per=
mitted to handle this little matter
without any interpretation oh the
part of the department. As long
as there is governmental supervi-
sion over the personal affairs OF
individual Indians so long will
they be unable to get along.
The allottees who have taken
advantage of their right to cut anil
clear their allotments and who
have sold the timber thus reinot-
ed, have demonstrated their ability
to yet better results than the gov
eminent ever did for them. If
Senator Clapp is DESTROYS of serv-
ing the Indians lii this state, he
should eliminate that portion OF
his bill which requires the secfe-
tary of the interior to prescribe
rules for selling allotment timber,
excepting only allottees over sixty
years of age. In no case should
the allotment of minor be clear
ed of the timber thereon. We
have some timber on our allot-
ment and we believe we could dis
pose of it to better advantage
without departmental interference
than with it, and we know that a
large majority of the members of
this reservation could do likewise,

IS THE LAW Rl6HT?

The recent t1,oMble at the Stand
ing Rock reservation caused by
whiskey leads us to ask if the law
effects what is intended, namely;
the suppression of the sale of in
toxicants to the Indians? From
eighteen years of experience in
connection with the prosecution of
the suppression of whiskey sell
ing to the Indians, we belive the
law as now applied is wrong. It
is hard for the officers in charge
Of the prosecutions of the sale of
whiskey to discriminate regarding
offenders, yet there should be. some
distinction made. For instance,
a person who may be found with
liquor in his possession and intox-
icated, should be punished in a
local Jail. But if the law was 80
amended as to-rcrmit this,i would
be hard to convict Il whiskey ped
der. In our opinion the lAw> not
withstanding that the sale OF whis=
key is detrimental TO all classes:
both white and red men, which
prohibits the sale of ineOxicants to!
Indians, should be repealed and a
law substituted to punish drunken
and disorderly persons on reserva-
tons. This would undoubtedly
be more effective in the proven
ton of drunkenness among Indians
than the existing law and the.e
would not be so much injustice
connected with it. Under the ex-
isting law It frequently happens
that man who has been found
with a gill of whiskey in his pos.
session on Reservation is bound
over to the next term of the United
States court, and if he is unable
to find bondsmen he is compelled
to remain in jsil fer perhaps. sew
.eral weeks before his trial. takes
place, and il convicted he is sent
enced to not less than sixty days
more in Jail and one hundred dol
lars fine.
This, as q rule, Is Ii greater hard
ship on the Indians which the law
seeks to protect than the white
man who sells him the liquor, for
the latter is usually able to get bail
while the Indian seldom is. We
believe it is time to repeal all the
old intercourse laws Including that
which prohibits the sale OF li's'.pr
70 Indians, and by it's introtlic-
ton Into the Indian country makes
criminals out of over three-fourth
of all the Meinl,ers of reservations
in the United States, very often
when they do not iisn liquor rs d
stimulent; for there Is hardly a
man who lives on IL reservation
tina, .las ilbt introduced intusicants
in tli indian country at soihc time
during his life.
