EXPECT OFFICIALS TO EARN
THEIR SALARIES,

Minneapolis Journal: We are get
ting away from the old idea to a
great extent and are expecting our
postmasters and other public officials
to earn their salaries. There are
some of the oid.style postmasters
left, quite too many of them, In
fact. They look on the cffice as
private snap and earn their salaries
by keeping their congressman s
fences In good repair, while poorly
paid deputies and clerks attend to
the postal service Machine poll
tician of this stamp are the real
'office-hoiding oligarchy," and con-
Rreesmen who cultivate their kind do
not like postmaeters who cut out
politics and attend to business. That
is the kind of postmaters MIR. Cortel-
you likes. and We believe the public
look at the question in the same way.
Rotation in Office" has an attractive
sound. but it usually means six men
trying for every JOB, and spoiled for
everything else, while the public ser.
vice runs itself.

McEWEN HYPNOTIZED.

Hypnotist McEwen, we'll known in
Little Falls and in the Northwest gen.
orally, was q sought for man recently,
and when he was found it is asserted
he was presented with q pair Of lovely
black eyes, with the compliments of
NJ. L. Leavitt, representative Of John
C0rt, the theatrical manager.
McEwen is one Of the many attrac-
tions on the Cort bill Of fare. he was
booked to appear in Idano and Oregon
under the Cort management and show
what q WOE derful thing hypnotisr
really ie.
The first thing the Co,t manage
ment knew of any trouble, 1t is al
legged in Butte report, was conveyed
in a telegram from Caldwell stating
that McEwen had forsaken the boards
and was doing stunts with a whiskey
pottls. McEweD, the hypnotist. was
hypnotized. M. L.. Leagitt took the
trail from Seattle and found McEwen
at Caldwell, much the worse for his
spree. An argument arose. The air
grew war and the next thing on the
program was pair Of black eyes
decorating McEwen's face.
After an interval Of three days,
during which time the hypnotist was
laid up for repairs, the world re-
nowned appeared to resume his per-
formances. In Butte he ran two aays
Instead Of week, as he wss billed.

OBJECTS TO CfSSlON
ChippeWaS Want Recon-
penSe for Star
Island s

White Earth Tumahswk: An at.
tempt is being made in congress to
turn over to the State of Minnesota
the tract of valuable land known as
Star leland In Csss Lake. This is
tne property of the Mississippi Chip
pewa Indians given to them under
the treaty of 1854, IN lieu of lands
they ceded to the government that
year. Under the Nelson law ct 1859
the Indians ceded the Island in trust
to the United States to sell for their
benefit. With the othe1 forestry lands
the island was set aside by the Morris
Act as reserve but was to continue
as Indian lands. Now Senator Nelson
steps in and has bill passed by the
senate to give it to the state of Min
Eesota without regard to the rights of
the Indians. Congressman Buchanan
has introduced similar bill in the
house OF repr presentatives which if
passsd will take away property from
the Indians valued at net less than
$3.50. OOO.
1t will be seen by the Buckman bill,
published in this issue, tnat no pro-
visions are made for any compensa-
tlon to the Ii adams for the land and
timber 1t proposes to take from them
1t is beginning to look as though
the Chippewas are the common
prey, and il they wish to get fair
trea tment they must go in for them
selves regardless of the several inter.
ests involved in tie forestry reserve
lands. II the state secures posses
sion Of it, the chances of getting
compensation for the Indians will be
diminished and for this reason it
would be better to allow the island to
remain rs United States forestry re-
serve lands as the chances for event1-
ally getting compensation would be
much better from the United States
than from Minnesota.
The move t. give Star Island to
the state is simply to enable it to sell
the timber Oh the island for it's own
benefit. and there is Dothlng in the
bill to pravent this. The tribe can.
not too strongly oppose any PROPOSE
tion to give the state tracts of land
from the forest reserve, for gradually
all the timber would be cut without
snv benefit accruing to the Indians.
If the anti.forestry reserve people
who have been making their fight
against the reserve q common cause
with Indians, are In earnest to serve
the lattsr's interest as we'll as theil
own, they should come to the assist.

KICKING ON JOHN HANGS AP.
POINTMENT.

Minneapolis Journal 25: Opponents
are protesting against the appoint
ment of John Hang as police officer.
Mr., Hang was until recently a resi-
dent Of Little Falls, and served as
alderman from the Third ward. he
resigned when ne came to Mime
arolis.
1t is contended that the mayer has
no right to appoint q nonresident to a
public position and that a stranger
can be Of little value as a police off.
Ger anyway.
Mayor Jones said in anewer that he
knew that Mr.. Hang mad not lived
in the city long, but had removed
here and was bona fde resident.
Mr.. Hang in my opinion is excel
lent material for a police officer, -
he declared. He las all that could
be asked with regard to appearance
and physique and his moral character
is vouched for by the best people Of
Little Falls. Had I been looking for
a political lieutenant instead Of po-
licemen I might not have appointed
him. but he was elected for his lit.
ness.
