CROATAN.

Some of the Croatan Indians
of Robson are and have been
for some time rather dissatisfied
with the name Croatan and an
effort is being made to get recog-
milton for them as Cherokees.
Sereral hundred dollars have
been raised to push the matter
and Orren Locklear, of Penn
broke, is in Washington now, it
is understood, taking the matter
up with Congressman Goodwin.
Just what they hope to gain is
not definitely known, but it is
said that they have been led to
believe that there are several
millions of dollars at Washington
waiting to be claimed by Chero-
kee Indians and that if they can
establish their claim to belonging
to that tribe they will receive
part of this money.
We hope they will get all that
is coming to them, but we very
much fear they are on a cold trail
in this matter. And certainly
we do not see why any Indian
should object to being known as
q Croatan. Certainly the name
carries with it not the faintes
suggestion of reproach, though
some members of the race seen
to feel that the name itself tend
to keep them down. They claim

Who Would Lower Standard Of State Laws in Matter
Of Purity and Honest Weights

Increased, There should Des shown not

Fortunately, the North Dakota law
requires that tho net weight or meas

on the label, but these features are
most dificult to enforce since the ma
tionaI law does not require this. An
attempt is being mads to bring the
state laws down o the level of the ma
tional law. Every dishonest manufac-
turer would like to see the North pa
kota law brought down to the level Of
the national Law. Why? Because he
would not havelto put the net weight
on his productst he would not have to
show the true grade of the same: and
he might go OF using coal tar dyes;
he might still use benzoate OF soda,
sulfites, saccharin and many other pro-
ducts which are by The leading investi-
gators declaged to be harmful ingredi-
ents. Certainly, these ingredients are
not essential to the putting up of any
food product Then why should the
manufactured be allowed to use them?
Instead Of letting down the stand
ards in our states let us strengthen
them. Instead OF bringing the state
