Committee Is to Sift Indian Charges

each year in the Indian bill go? 1t
has been constantly charged that they
go in large part to about everybody
except the Indians. For instance,
100000 was appropriated in the last
bill for irrigation of the Flathead
reservation lands. ii the stories now
being laid before the probers are true,
this money is to be used, not for the
Indians, but for lands that have been
taken from the Indians and are held
by spectators. The ella irrigation
project is alleged to present some
what similar situation.
Another case that the committe Is
going to probe is that of the Grow
reservation in Montana. case of
Uintah Indians of Utah is going to be
taken up in the effort to locate re-
sponsibility for the woes OF this tribe.
The charge Is that the Indians were
allotted their lands on a map, without
reference to topography. Some got
bottom lands and some got mountain
tops, and on these they were expected
to live while the rest of the lands
were deftly manipulated into the
hands of enterprising white men who
managed the DEAL

Government to Wipe Out Moro Pirates

TT is somewhat startling to learn
4 that piracy as bold and fierce as in
the days of Captain Kidd still -four
ishes under the American flag. The
Moro pirates of the Philippines have
begun their attacks on peaceful mer-
chant ships once more. A patrol OF
American gunboats was maintained
over the Moros in the Sulu seas until
recently, and withdrawn in the belief
that they had been pacified. The
Moros believed that the Americans
we're afraid of them, and piracy imme-
diately famed out afresh. Now the
patrol will be re-established.
The Malay pirate of the eastern seas
is perhaps the most notorious Of al!
freebooting types. He excels Captain
Kidd in reckless daring and ruthless
cruelty.
Instead of sailing bodily forth in
fleets of outrigser boats, after the old
time style, with force numbering
hundreds of armed and intrepid war
riors, the Moro pirate of today estab-
fishes headquarters on some small
island and therefrom as a base of
operations conducts furtive raids. If
successful, he becomes holder. and

Drained and narrow-minded critics"
following the withdrawal of names of
men prominent in the political world
up for membership in the ultra-exclu-
sive Metropolitan club, has centered
the attention of the country on the
snobbishness of Washington.
Close observers assert that the i'm
impetus given to existing social condi-
lions dates from the Spanish-American
war. Before the treaty of Paris the
millionaire residents of Washington
could be counted on the fingers Now
all the rich and retired, the famous or
otherwise, the representative of whis-
ky, sugar, tobacco-every kind of trust
has his palace in an ultra-eXclusiye
residential section and the womenkind
set up to be social leaders.
Money and influence In the gilded
throng is the test which Washington
now applies to every ambitious public
man and his wife. The clubs are ruled
by money, and men who have baked
the political or financial schemes OF
those who are high in Washington
clubdom are punished II they seek the
companionship in clubs such as they
would obtain in their home cities.

MORE EXCELLENT
REPORTS FROM
WESTERN CANADA
Grains Are Heading Out
Rapidly and Harvest Is
Now Approaching With
a Great Demand for
Harvest Help.

Last week it was pointed out in
these columns that there would be
yield of about 200,00O000 bushels of
wheat throughout Western Canada, an
increase of about 100,000,000 over the
previous year, and that the demand
for farm help was very great. Con-
firmation of this news is to hand and
the cry still is for more help. The
Canadian authorities are hopeful that
the friends of the 100000 or 100000
Americans who have gone to Canada
during the last few years will come to
the help Of these people and induce
as many able-bodied men as they pos
sibly can to take advantage of the
low rate which is being offered from
all points on the Canadian Boundary,
and particulars of which can be had

pose to go, it may be said that they
will have this splendid opportunity of
securing first hand information as to
the excellent producing character OF
the lands in Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta. They will have the op.
portunity of seeing some of the great

ably the largest yield of wheat: oats
and barley that has ever been grown

Uncle Sam Issues a Million Patents

THE United States government Will
] soon issue it's one millionth pat
ent for an invention Commissioner
of Patents Edward Bruce Moore has
been looking forward for some time
to a celebration of the issuance of pat
ent No. 100000. 1t was his hope that
this distinguished number should go
to some epoch-making invention.
The United States patent office will
be 1872 years old when the coveted
number is issued. The bureau was
established in 1890 as an adjunct to
the treasury department. Early in
1886 there was fire which destroyed
not only, the building of the patent Of
fee, but every record, all the import
ant drawings and papers. and every
model owned by the government.
Prior to the fire the office had issued
9.937 patents.

ton to receive patent from the orig
