The Mail Order Ten Commandments.

The following ten commandments are
offered for the guidance of catalogue
house patients:
l. You shall sell your farm products
for cash whenever you can, but not to
US. We do not buy from you.
2. You shall believe our statements
and buy all you need from Us because
we want to be good to you although we
are not personally acquainted with you.
B. You shall send the money in ad-
vance to give US a chance to get the
meanwhile you will have to wait pa
tiently for weeks, as that is our business
method.
4. You shall apply to your nearest
city to aid you in building good roads 80
that you can conveniently get the goods
from the depot, for we do not build
country roads.
5. You shall buy church bells and
church fixtures from US and forward the
money in advance, for this is our bust
ness method, and you shall collect from
the business men in your city as much
money as you can for the benefit Of the
church for it is against our rules to do
nate any money for country churches.
6. You shall buy your tools from US
and be your own mechanic in order TO
drive the mechanics from your vicinity,

7. You shall induce your neighbour to

have in your community the sooner we
can put your local merchant out of bust
ness and charge you any price we please.
s. You shall look often al the beauti-
full pictures in our catalogue so that
your wishes will increase and so you will
send in big orders, although you are not
in immediate need of the goods; other
wise you might have some money left to
buy some necessary goods from your
local merchants
9. You shall have the merchants who
repair the goods you buy from US book
the bills so you can send the money for
his labor to US for new goods; otherwise
he will not notice our Influence.
10. You shall, in Case of sickness or
need, apply to your local dealer for aid
and credit, as we do not know you, nor
care to.

ate. The opponents of Senator
Clapp, who are confined to CONF
parat,vely a few politicians at St.

to defeat the former for renomi-

become the Republican Progressive
candidate to succeed himself, he
would again tear up the Repobli-

would probably carry this state.
Because Senator Clapp espoused

First, attention is called to the
fact that Senator Ashurst' is a man
of the people, ora "son Of the soil''
His experience is one which all
young men could follow to advan
tage. He is western born, see
ing the light of this world first in
the state of Nevada in 1874. His
father was an emigrant"from Ken
lucky, his mother a native of
Missouri. In 1876 they removed
to Arizona, the state which now
has the honor of being represented
bv their son in the United States
Senate.
Senator Ashurst at the age of
fifteen left the public school t. be-
come a cowboy. At the age OF
nineteen he became a deputy sher-
iff performing his duties credltably
and bravely, and this is saying
much for that period On the frontier
Leaving the sheritf's Office, he

she'll believed the Algonquins to
have been originally dwellers in
the southwestern part of this
country, and that from thence
emigrated eastward.
But we are not concerned now
with any consideration of how the
Algonquin nation became differ
entiated and when. Leaving out
then for the present at least men,
tion of tribes that were occupying
tegIitory as far south as Virginia,
we will mention the first treaty
uahe by the Federal government
with the Chippewas.
Astate of war had existed be-
tween the United States and the
various Indian tribes which had
formed a confederacy to try and
conduct this war to a successful
issue, and this finally resulted in
the treaty of peace of January 81,
1855 at Fort Nc. Intosh in which
the Chippewa nation was also a
party This treaty evidently did
not establish permanent peace be-
tween the United States and the
Indians and the treaty of Green
vile, northwest of the River Ohio,
on August 3, 1915 was concluded.
Under the provisions of this latter
tresty peace was established,
prisoners on both sides were re-
stored, and the boundary lines be-
tween the country claimed by the
| United States and that occupied by
the Indians were established, and
the Indians also coded certain
tracts of land anc portions Of coun-
try occupied by them. The con-
sideration for the country coded
was twenty thousand dollars annu-
ally forever, and of this amount
the Chippewas we're to receive one
thousand dollars per year forever.

ginal occupants of the country
could not have retained ownership,
but let us suppose they could have
done so and were holding it to day,
it would have taken several hun.
dred million dollars to have induced
them to relinqulsh it.
This government claims itself to
be outside of the limits of statutory
law, and only through the justice
of Congress and with its per-.
mission may Indian tribes sue the
United States for unfulfilled treat
les. This is an Indian question
which presents difficulty to the
indians concerned, that is as to the
governments moral and legal
obligations to pay its debts without
>eing sued.
A number of treaties have been
made by the United States with
he Chippewas and other tribes,
tut it will be seen by what is TO
:ollow that the Chippewas have
always been the victims of the
government ard its officials.
