M'BEEDE BELIEVES THE
GUARDIANSHIP OF THE
INDIANS SHOULD CEASE

Shields. N. D., Dec, 17.-Rev. A. G.
McBeede, Episcopal missionary for the
Indians on the Standing Rock reser-
walton, is making strong appeals for
better treatment Of the Indians by the
government. He thinks there is no
necessity for the government exercis-
ing a p~rotectorate over Indians in a
state where the reds are not hostile.
He believes the government should
abandon the guardianship and let the
Indians look out for themselves. He
points out the evils of graft and abuse
that are now a part Of the Indians
under the existing system and believes
nothing will be worse. He shows how
the Indians are in a ase of semi-star-
walton on some parts Of the reserva-
ton, that ome who are to become
mothers and infants and growing
children are improperly nourished, as
a. result Of which a Iase of defective
Indians are growing UP, and they will
in future generations beget more de-
fective Indians that will become a
charge on posterity. The aggressive
ness of the lesses of range on the
reservation forces the Indians to
range their cattle on less choice
places and they do no get returns.
The missionary asserts that no race
OF white men could prosper under the
conditions the government is holding
the red men and has for the past five
years on the reservation.
The reservation is at present divid-
ed into several districts. In the Por-

The older Indians get ration allot-
ments. William Clayton, a farmer for
the Porcupine district. has recently
investigated the conditions and visited
each family. He found no instance of
Immediate want but some in which
assistance will be greatly needed be-
fore the winter is over.
A few OF the Indians have hay and
cattle for sale. The condition of the
lntirm AID aged Indians who have
been unable to work Is likely to prove
the most serious problem during the
winter
1t is understood that in other Sec
tons of the reservation the conditions
are much more serious than in this
district as no public work has been
conducted b. which the Indians will
ing to work could secure additional
money and lay in supplies for the WIN
ter. In some OF the others the condf-
ton Of the cattle are worse than here.
The general concensus Gf opinion IS
that while the general situation at
crescent is not Immediately serious the
conditions will be bad before the win
ter Is over n many Indians will

ed to the seriousness of the situation
and does not take practical steps to
care for the needy red men.

after years of badness, and is also
its original color, stopping hair from
falling out, and destroying the lam
druff germ. 1t will not make the
hair greasy, and can be put up by any
druggist: Bay Rum. s ounces; Lavona

it porfumed. add l drachm of your fav-

highly recommended by physicians and
specialists, and Is absolutely harmless,
as it contains none of the poisonous
wood alcohol so frequently oun in
