NAL of violating the restaurant liquor

Queen restaurant, 2S4 North Main street,
was arraigned on similar charge, and

reka cafe, was also among those who
answered to a charge of violation of
the restaurant liquor laws, and like his
colleagues denied his guilt and was
given until May IL to plead. All were

The evidence in all cases except that
of the Edison Annex was obtained by
officers who have been working on the
cases for week, the Edison case be-
ing an offshoot of the raids of Wednes@
day night.
Chief of Police Dishman has received
many compliments for the work that
is going on, and the proprietors of
questionable resorts are on the uneasy
seat. AS one spectator in court yester-
day morning stated, ''These be stirring
times for those liquor fellers."

and the department in an able and
competent manner.
Heretofore, it has been the policy
of the department at the national
capital to bring to Red Lake and
establish as agent some person who
found the environments strangely
unfamiliar and the Indians under
his charge strangers and unwilling
to accept a new "overseer" every
thirty days, or Whereabouts.
These new officials have had all
kinds of trouble and worry in at
tempting to gain the confidence of
the Indians and to work for their
betterment. The average aboriginee
is suspicious individual; especially
is he ofish'' with white strangers,
and the government has worked on
this trait of his character by con-
tinually changing agents and scarcely
allowing one agent to become on
speaking terms with the chief men of
the tribe before he is removed to
some other agency, usually at his
own request.
This practice does not augur we'll

disposition of the Indian or for his
physical or financial welfare.

department would do we'll to in.
