Minnesota to attend to her own IL
Quor regulations will be taken to the
supreme court of the United States.
So long as there is any remaining
doubt there always will be feeling
Of uncertainty by the members of
all factions involved. 4. The liquor
dealers andsebrewers and distillers
will feel squeamish; the Prohibit
ionist and Anti-Saloon man will look
with hopeful eyes toward the higher
tribunal, while the common every
day citizen will continue to wonder
if there is no way under the sun in
which the lid question can be per-
manently; settled.
For all practical purposes the Will
lard decision. has clarified the atmos-
phere, leaving the mercurial PUSSY
foot" to seek pastures green, the
Bemidji victory in the federal, court
at Minneapolis being distinctly a
victory for the state, rather than a
victory for the liquor interests or a
loss for the Prohibitionists.
At the present, moment President
Taft appears about ready. to let, his
position be known on the PROPOSE
ton. 1t is said that the president
has seriously considered the advisa-
.bility of abrogating, despite the Will
lard decision, all the Indian treaties,
with the exception of the treaty of
1855, which includes Bemidji; and
that he would urge congress to alb
rogate the '55 treaty.
If the Willard decision were to
stand there. would be no necessity
of this action on the part of the
president, and that is another rea-
son why the validity of the Willard.
decision should be established for all
time.
The Prohibitionists are urging an
appeal on the strength of subsequent
decisions from the supreme court
which they interpret. as being at
varience with the Willard opinion,
but there seems to be strong i'm
preston in Washington and among
the keenest attorneys that the power
of the Indian treaties so far as Min
nesota is concerned has been broken
forever.
In any event there is no good rea-
SON why an appeal. should not be
taken and there is every reason why
one should be, and the quicker the
better.

THE CITY ELECTION.

The annual city election in Be-
midi rapidly approaches. 1t is
time that the friends of good govern
ment were bestirring themselves, see
ing to it that the proper sort of men
are placed in nomination
The forward stride of Bemidji en-
failing added responsibilities each
year for the men who assume to
operate the governing machinery of
the municipality, make each succeed
ing election an event of added in:-
portance.
In selecting men to work for IT,.
city, it should not be SO much a
question of politics, as ability and
sterling honesty.
The public should not be carried
away by rainbow promises of politi-
cal parties whose planks are of air
castle construction on a foundation
of pleasing promises.
Men who are always ready to fight
for Bemidji first last and all the time
not dreamers, but workers.; men
with their. coats off and their sleeves
rolled up when the welfare of our
citizens is at stake are the ones who
should be Entrusted with duties of
municipal government, upon whom
honors should be- thrust, and our
good mayor, John G. Parker is a
splendid example of this sort of pub
lie servant.

A4Legend Of Mount Omi.


Mount Omi on~the border between
western China and Tibet. has the long
est staircase in the world. On top of
the mountain there stands a*Buddhist
temple, around which gather some of
the hottest traditions of that religion
and which is made Mecca to the
Chinese. To. facilitate the ascent Of
its slippery sides some 10000 steps
have been cut in the mountain, form
ing a single fight, up which the pil-
grim tolls. Because Of its inaccessi-
bility few Europeans have ever visited
the spot, but q number of travellers
have -ascended- the stairway and are
positive that it is no legendary myth.
There is a legend that in earlier times
the pilgrim was forced to ascend the
mountain without artificial aids until
the monks conceived the plan of re-
quiring every pilgrim who would gain
especial benefit Of his journey to cut 2
single step. -..

9 Giverspace in your valuab BILE paper
for the following lines from an In
damon the Red Lake Indian Reser-
walton who has had but one years
schooling at Government board
ing school on an Indian reservation
in Minnesota: Ill. ~
The last week or so. hasgbroug ht
to my notice articles in papers in
regards 81 to trouble on4the Red Lake
Indian reservation and ~accusing-W VIM.
III. Bishop and others of doing things
that look some ways shady Very
true the holding up of the minors
money and, paying it out on the in
stallment plan has caused some to
feel sore at the superintendent, but
what can you expect of him when he
receives his instructions direct from,
the Indian department at Washing
ton, D. G.
VIM. H. Bishopsis, a bonded agent
and must do as directed by higher
officers.
If&people see fit to cause trouble
in this mater they should commence
atathe head of the Indian bureau at
Washington, D. c., where rulings
concerning all Indian reservations
are formed. The paying out of the
children's money-$25 per capita
is a great benefit to some, as by their
getting it this way these little ones
derive ONE benefit. If paid out in
full no doubt there are some few
that would be apt to spend the
money foolishly,, and thereby the
lfiittle ones at the Government board
ing school would not derive any bene-
fit from what is really due them,
and by the superintendent advising
them to purchase useful articles,
such as Stalk Farm Machinery,
Stoves and building homes, etc.,
shows that he is working for their
childrens interests.
The, superintendent shows on the
other side! where he is we'll satisfied
that an Indian is competant to
his or her own funds and knowing
that he or she may be a good pro-
wider for their children he should
ask the department to pay them
there money in full; by his so do
ing would be benefit to him and the
department and would be to the trad
ers who have accounts that they ad-
vanced such people as theay knew
was trustworthy. BY the SUPER
intendent so doing 1 believe in my
mind, would stop all agency troubles
at present. The Red Lake band of
1-ss
| Chippewas-some 400 sOuls-are
still wards of the government, not
| as yet receiving their allotments,
and they have to still come under
the Indian department rulings and
| be guided as a father guides his
children and my 81 years among
them has taught me to learn there is
no better class of human beings on
earth.

in the world is Bird island, in South

some months of the year 1t Is literally
covered with gannets. Not foot of

around, and they are so close to each
other that the whole island seems &C.

this sight say, that it is one which

Weather and Crops.

Frequent showers have beer
the rule and on Tuesday it pour
ed down for the greater part of
the day and night. This Jorge
amount of rainfall is causing
some worry among the planters,
who complain that the pea-vines
will be affected materially.
It may be remarked, however,
that the crops throughout the
parish have seldom been surpas-
sed: the stands of the plant cane
being almost faultless and the
stubble showing nicely.
The rice is heading and would
require more sunshine at this
season. The temperature is less
oppressive and a decided drop is
predicted.

the cheaper grades in large guam
titles and the tone of the rice
market is much better than ii
has been in two years.
