THE INDIAN SLAVE.

The self-appointed guardians of the
American Indian, all of whom live
east of the Mississippi river,ar a lot
of hypocriticaI pirates. In the early
days of the republic they spent their
time robbing the Indian of his land
and afterwards Staying him out of
hand. Now these pious pirates prate
about the wrongs which the Indians
have suffered, and set up a wall about
the west trying to take poor Los
land away from him. These are the
people who are endeavoring to per
petuate the future enslavement of
the noble red man by herding him
on barren western reservations and
keeping him there, compelling him to
live and act according TO the wishes
of that vast political machine known
as the Indian department. About
Is per cent of the money which the
taxpayers of this country contribute
toward the support of the much
abused American Indian is distributed
among high-salaried officials, clerks
and employees of the department. 1t
is doubtful if the Indians receive as
much as 25 per cent Of the vast num-
Der of millions annually appropriated
for the support of the, Indian depart
ment. The Indians of Arizona who
have broken away from their reserva-
tions and struck out for themselves
are years in advance in civilization of
their more unfortunate brothers who
are enslaved and known as the gov
ernment's wards. Secretary Lane
has unqualifiedly announced that he
is opposed to the reservation idea
and in his various annual reports he
recommends that the government set
the American Indian free.

ANNUAL FAIR
AT PRESCOTT
PRESCOTT is MAKING PREPARA-
TIoNs FOR RACES AND OTHER
FEATURES OF THE FAIR TO BE
HELD ON OCT. 21, % AND %.

PRESCOTT, Sept 1.-The purses
hung up for the Northern Arizona
Fair races, which will be held in con-
nection with the Northern Arizona
Fair, at Prescott, October FL, %, %,
are absolutely the largest prizes Of
fer-d for any like meet in Arizona
or New Mexico for 1915, Races from
quarter of mile to five-eighths
miles will be run daily, thus giving
all horses an equal chance at the
money. AS in all big meets, there
Will be no entrance fee for any of
the events, but five per cent will be
deducted from the winners. No purs8
III the running races will be under
S125. Two consolation races on the
last day of the fair make it possible
for every entrant to get under the
ropes with some money. A good
many outside horsemen will be on
the track as $2500 is hung up in
purses.
In all departments the exhibits are
coming along nicely. The live stock
department will be under the super
vision of E. w. Stephens, deputy
assessor of Yavapai county. Mr.
Stephens knows practically every
stockman in northern Arizona and
will bend all his energy toward Sc
curing exhibits tht will be of interest
to visitors to the fair and of value to
The stockmen Northe1n Arizona is
essentially a stock country and the
possession of a blue ribbon from this
fair cannot but help to be of great
value to those who have been breed
ing up their herds by the importation
of high-grade animals.
No section of the 1914 fair aroused
more interest last year than the min
ing department This years exhibit
promises to be far superior in va
riety and excellence to that of 1914
The exhibits will have a double
value. They will help the citizens of
northern Arizona to a realization of
what the mines of this vast domain
mean and they still serve to impress
the many strangers and visitors to
our fair with the Importance of the
mineral wealth of Northern Arizona
The agricultural department bids
fair fn h6a 1ar
years. Exhibits are assured from the
counties of the north and as substan-
tlal prizes are offered in all depart
ments, including baled hay, threshed
grains and seeds, sheaf grains and
grasses, vegetables and roots and
fruits. Exhibitors should bear in
mind when making exhibits that am
pie samples should be furnished, to
provide against decay or bruising in
transit. Arrangements have been
made to take care of all perishable
fruit and vegetables Shipments
should be marked for cold storage
and addressed to the association
The poultry exhibit will be the Off
cial American Poultry Association
show of Arizona for 1915, and ribbons
won in this department mean far
more to the breeder of poultry than
any other advertising he could re-
ceive.
Among the amusement features Of
fered will be thrilling aerial stunts,
GTing ponies, open air dancing, band
concerts, carnivals and score of
other events. Reduced rates will be
in effect from all points.
