THE ROWLING FARCE.

The following editorial from the
Grand Forks Herald reflects the
opinion voiced many times by the
Pioneer, but it reviews the situation
so clearly that we deem it wise to
reproduce it:
That bowling farce known as the
enforcement of the Indian treaties
under which large part of the state
of Minnesota was coded goes on,
and each day reveals some new and
ludicrous feature. An agent of the
federal government, acting exactly
under what authority has never been
made quite clear, has ordered the
closing of lot more saloons, and it
is intimated that when quite convent
ent to him, others will be closed in
due course. At the same time 1t is
announced that the Brainerd saloons
are not to be molested until after the
coming convention in that city, at
which the governor of the state and
a number of other dignitaries are ex-
pected to be present. The theory
seems to be that the delegates to the
convention will be thirsty lot, and
provision must be made for the liquid
refreshment of the inner man.
This whole subject has been mud.
died in manner positively humiliat-
ing to every person who enter tains
any feeling of respect for the United
States government. Several months
ago it was discovered that under the
terms of treaties with the Indians,
some of them dating back over so
years, the sale of liquor in most of
the territory in Minnesota was pro-
hibited unless congress, or in some
cases, the president ordered other
wise. No such order has been made
and certain officials acting under the
direction apparently, of the Indian
bureau, took up the matter of the
enforcement of these treaty pro-
visions. The purpose of the treaties
was, of course, to keep liquor away
from the Indians. But since those
treaties were signed, most of the
territory effected has ceased to be
the home of Indians, and has passed
into the possession of white people.
In addition to this, there are, on the
statute books federal laws against
the sale of liquor to Indians, and the
introduction of liquor on Indian
reservations,

crockett,s Revenge.

There is a story of Crockett OF
"Stickit Minister fame to the effect
that when he offered his first volume
to a Scotch firm it was returned with
a polite note assuring him that there
was no market for that sort Of thing.
The letter was marked ''No. 396b.'' In
later years when the same publishers
asked him for one Of his manuscripts
he politely requested them to refer to
their previous correspondence with
him marked .s396b.''

Hon. w. A. Oldfield For
 Congress.

In the proper column of the ARGUS appears the announce ment of Hon. w. A. Oldfield as a candidate for reelection to Congress from this district.
 MT. Oldfield has served now for two years about and has proven an efficient officer. He has introduced some practical bills in Congress which if they become laws will effect and greatly benefit his constituency.
 The nature of Mir, Oldfield's proposed legislation is such as will prove of a practical benefit t. the geological survey, drainage and like measures.
 There is not another member of the Arkansas congressional representation who has no op- position for reelection, other than MT. Oldfield. A worthy compliment indeed.

I'm not a prophet or son of a prophet but mark my words, Brinkley is going to show a big ger vote against license next September than ever before in its history. I was out to hear the Catholic priest Thursday night and heard things in the paulist priests sermon which IS sure to bear fruit. There's go- ing to be a change, and it will be because certain Catholic men were impressed as never before that the drink curse is one of the greatest evils in Brinkley. and they are going to show their weight on this moral question this year, mark my words, :" thus spoke a prominent citizen to the ARGUS man this morning.

 Quite a number of our people are waking up to intensified farming and are going to try fertilizers on their land this year. The idea of making an acre of ground, double the cotton or corn crop, that it generally makes, sounds good and the use of fertilizers is go- ing to be engaged in by several of our long headed farmers. They are going to use the cele- brated Quapaw brand-a cotton seed meal base fertilizer. It is being handled by the Hunter Mercantile Co. You may expect some startling reports from Hunter farmers in the fall.

The Brinkley Argus in its re- port of the central committees meeting last week, erred in one statement, although we are quite sure that the error was wholly unintentional. We deem the error serious enough to call forth correction. The Argus stated that when Mr. Greenlee began to touch upon frauds alleged in other townships besides Brink ley the chairman ruled him out of order. The truth is that MT. Greenlee was wholly engaged in a defense of the Brinkley elect ion officers and had not finished calling them by name when he was declared out of order. Fur thermore, no question of frand in any other township except that of Brinkley was mentioned at the meeting at all. The un- fairness or prejudice that might be inferred from the Argus re- port was totally absent from the ruling, and dwelt only in the imagination of the Argus report CT. If the misstatement was in- tentional, it is explainable on the theory that misery loves company. "-Clarendon Sun.
 Now it's surprising how clever and polite our hostile" contem- porary can be when he wants to. The ARGUS man was not able to be present at the meeting In question and gathered the data as best he could from those who were in attendance. If the re- port was in any way incorrect It was not intended. Just the whole truth h-all that's fit to nrint-is what the ARGUS wants to print. The incident of MT. Greenlee being called down by Chairman Milwee together with the other details of the meeting came to us about as we woote it.
