ain, the United States ceased 70
fulfill treaty stipulations with the
Chippewas because Tecumseh,
with the Canadian Chippewas be
came allies of Great Britain. The
United States thought perhaps that
all the Chippewas, including those
who we're in America, would act
alike. But this if entertained
should have been put out of mind
by the speedy succeeding events.
The American Chippewas re
maihed loyal to the United States.
Xish Ike nun was then the leading
chief of the Chippewas, and at an
interview with the British COM
mander at Mackinac Island, at that
time Canadian territory, he voiced
the attitude of his people in no GER
tain terms. The Incident is related
in "Warren's History of the Glib
Ways and mentioned again in
Winchell's History Of the Algon-
quins of Minnesota.
Under the treaty of Septem Der
s, 1915, the United States inserted
therein that all the Chippewas had
been associated with Great Britain
in the war referred to, but restored
to them the treaty rights they held
prior to the war, out the Indians
seemed never to have received
them.
1t is. not charged here that the
government deliberately failed to
keep It's obligations to the Chippe
was. The reasons were probably
physical and here we are referring
mainly To the Chippewas who were
numerous and we're scattered along
the shores of5the Great Lakes,
and also inland to the regions of
the Mississippi River, Leech Lake,
Red Lake and Felnbina.
Detroit, Michigan, was the place
designated as the agency where

certain annuitants of the Chippewa
nation and designated them as bands
no doubt to take away the sting of
these doubtful transactions.
The first treaty that was made
with community of Chippewas
was that of May 8, 1886 BY the
terms Of this socalled treaty the
community or "bauds'' coded to
the United States the right of oc-
cupancy which had heen retained
by the Chippewa nation under the
treaty of November II, 1907 with
the United States.
The last treaty which was made
with the Chippewas as nation
but which did not include many of
the bands interested, was concluded
at St. Peter, Minnesota, on July
80, 1887, but SO much dissatis-
faction was caused by this treaty
because q larger portion of the
nation had not sanctioned it that
the treaty Of October 4, 1912 was
made reconcile the Indians to the
treaty of 1897.
Although the Chippewas, Otta-
was and Pottawautamies were not
only properly members of tho
Obj'way nation, the treaty of June
Is II, 1916 with small portion of
the nation declared them to be-
come known as the Pottawautomie
nation.
This separation of a part of a
certain portion of the original
Chippewa nation has caused more
or less confusion which will eventu-
ally require an appeal to the courts
of the United States to correct if
the nation should ever desire to
press the enforcement of its claims
against the United States.

committee of Indian affairs and
even when his party was in the
minority his voice was not unheed-
ed. When his party became the
one of majority in the House be
became chairman of this important
committee.
Appointments to committees are
not made in any haphazzard man
ner. A member Of Congress must
have shown himself on the floor to
have been sympathetic in certain
forms of national interest, and ef-
fected legislation thereto.
Mr.. Stephens has always evinced
a sympathy for the first American
and secured national legislation in
his behalf. Since he has become
chairman of the Indian committee
he has had greater opportunity to
initiate more legislation for the
Indians and reach to greater ac
complishment. /;
One measure in particular 70
which we would call attention is the
Right of Nomination Bill" I'm
fortunately this measure never
reached the stage, the Indians to
be effected desired, still it was a
wise measure, just such one Mr..
Stephens was willing to assume.
From his own knowledge he knew
it to be not only wise but due to
advanced and progressive tribes.
The bill stated ia q few terms was,
privilege to certain tribes to elect
their own agents.
This would have taken the office
of agent out of politics, and given
the tribes effected large share in
the management If their own af-
fairs.
During the tendency Of the bill
l.iassthes commit Mr. stephens
sought information from all quar-
tiers, and freely invited even Indian
opinion and suggestion.
In his attitude may be seen the
spirit of democracy, using the term
in its non partizen sense. This
spirit is that which recognizes the
right of the governed to have a
voice as to the manner in which
they shall be governed. For the
manifestation Of this spirit Mr..
Stephens stood as the champion in
Indian matters 81 far as circum~
stances would admit.
The Chippewas of Minnesota
have much reason for gratitud" for
Mr.. Stephens friendliness; to this
every delegation to Washington
AN bear witness for not only has
re given them free access to com
nittee sessions, but has also given
members private audiance AMI
friendly advice.
Mr.. Stephens Right of Nomi-
nation BilI' is not dead it is only
sleeping, and it is hoped some fnal
action will be taken with regard TO
it this winter. Mr.. Stephens can
always be depended upon to do
what is right for the Indians.

ALFALFA AT PROFIT . 0N ARKANSAS FARM
Farmer Tells How He Experimented With This Forage Crop to Get Good Yield.

It was on a hill farm in Washington County. The first cutting came of May IS, and yielded little more than ton to the acre The second cut ting was ready the second week of June and yielded even better The third growth was cut July 10 with as large crop as before And the field continues to grow, and with hay sell, ing at SIS a ton.
 In giving his reasons for his sue cess with alfalfa the owner of the farm made the following statement:
 T first tried alfalfa in 1912. and fol lowing the advice of neighbors, worked my soil up is good shape and seeded in the spring. I got a good stand. but later in the season the plants turned yellow and finally the weeds took the crop"
 'I was strongly impressed with the possibilities of the alfalfa crop and began reading alfalfa literature in farm papers To grow alfalfa success fully l found one must have a rich. well drained, well lined soil Inocu- lation was recommended where neither alfalfa nor sweet clover had ever been grown. Alfalfa growers all advised that a field to be seeded to al falfa should be given special attention to lower the risk from weeds"
 The field which I aimed to put into alfalfa consisted of three acres of fair upland with good drainage In the spring of 1913 I fertilized with barn yard manure at the rate of 12 tons to the acre and planted to cowpeas. This crop served IS a smother crop to clear the land of weeds. l turned these nm der to a good depth about August $. cutting up the vines with a disc har- row before doing SO Later c.plied aI-slaked lime at the rate of 1000 pounds to the acre. Late in the after noon of the day before seeding I dis trlouted soil from an old alfalfa field over the field to be planted at the rate Of four or five hundred pounds to the acre, and followed with 8 spike tooth harrow. This plan avoided the exposure of nitrogen fixing bacteria to the direct rays of the sun.
 The seed was sown broadcast upon the well-firmed seed bed A good growth was made in the fall which was allowed to remain for winter pro- lection. No great difficulty was ex. perienced the following season with weeds and four fairly good crops were taken off the field"

The Lost Customer.

Tt was a rainy day" said the book seller, "and the wet shoes and drip ping umbrellas of customers had made the floor quite wet and slippery just inside the store door. All our clerks happened to be in the back part of the place when the door opened and large and very stout woman hurried In. Just as the door swung shut be- hind her she slipped and fell fiat upon the floor. Before any of us could reach her she picked herself up with surpris. ing quickness for a woman of her size, gave stony stare all around the room, and then without uttering word, turned around. opened the door and walked out in the most dignifed manner. None of us has ever seen the woman since, and I suppose her pride will prevent her from ever com ing into the store where her first ap- pearance was so mortifying."

COULD BUILD SIX CANALS.

An unusual sight and one not with out special significance was that of Secretary of State Bryan signing the cards of 12,000 men who had taken the pledge of total abstinence at one of the Billy Sunday meetings after Mir. Bryans address against the drink curse His attack against the liquor evil from the economic standpoint in- cluded the following statements:
 Tt is estimated that the people of the United States spend almost S2,- 500,000,000 annually on intoxicating liquors. The cost of the Panama canal, the most gigantic engineering feat in history, was about $4OO,OOO,O 900. Is it not appalling to think that we spend for drink every year something like six times the cost of the Panama canal?
 q have endeavored to obtain an ac- curate estimate of the amount Of money spent on education in this country. and the figure given me is S750 1000, 900. We spend for drink more than three times as much as we spend for education.
 The annual appropriations of the federal government are a little less than $1,250,000,000. This sum includes the salaries of all the public officials, from the president down. All of these government agencies employed in ad- ministering the federal government of this great nation are operated at an expense of less than $1,250,0 ,000,0 ,000.
 Think, if the mind can comprehend it, of this nation spending twice that amount for alcoholic liquors"

An ironworker, having had the worst of an argument with friend, decided to get even with him.
 Waiting, therefore, until his enemy had retired to rest one night, he ap- preached his street door, and knocked loudly in order to wake him. Open ing the bedroom window, the other hurriedly inquired what the noise was all about
 Why" replied the outside one, "one of ysur windows Is wide open"
 (Which one?"
 Why, the one you have your head through" chuckled the other, as he went away satisfied with the success of his plot.-Illustrated Bits.

OUT OF THE MUD.

Tn 1912, when West Virginia was one vast battle-ground for statewide prohibition writes Lora s. LaMance, National w. c. T. U. organizer, in the Union Signal, T spent seven months in the state. In 1915, with prohibition an accomplished fact, 1 visited it again. The change is marked. A blind man could see it. Out from the prin- cipal towns the land of muddy roads is building here, there, wonder, paved roads into the country Almost every mile has been built since the state went dry. It is a new experience to the farmer, when the dirt roads are almost hub deep in yellow clay, to drive five or ten miles into town on a hard brick road, and get there with team and carriage as spick and span as when he started. City streets are being paved, parks are being laid out, street car lines are being extended, and new buildings are going up every where. In some of the smaller towns, because the demand Is so great, houses are rented at eXtravagant prices"

The place to which the lover ., English literature will sooner or later turn his steps is Twickenham No other small town can boast of hav ing been the residence and belovoa abode of so many famous literary lights.
 With 1t are associated the immortal names of Pope, Horace Walnolo Swift. Gay, Lady Wortley Montagn Gibbon, Boswell, Johnson, Tennvson and Dickens. Surely this is enough to make any place doubly immortal, Twickenham was we'll nicknamed hv Horace Walpole the Baiae, or Tivoli of England; for it has truly been tn London what Baiae was to ancient Rome-indeed, in far higher degree

Kills Raspberry Canes

The disease known as raspberry an- thracnose causes small dead spots On the canes and kills fruiting clusters. Sometimes so many of the dead spots occur that the entire cane is killed. This disease is spread by unclean nur. sery stock or may come from wild plants into plantation The com monest source of it. however is nur. sery stock. Under favorable weather conditions and on some soils especial ly, it may destroy a years fruit crop. and destroy the prospect for next years crop at the same time
 It may be only imperfectly controll. ed by spraying. It Is safest to plant only clean stock and to destroy an old diseased patch rather than fight the disease.

Bravery and CoWardice of a Lie.

There is no vice that doth so cover q man with shame as to be found false and perfidious, wrote Sir Eran- cis Bacon. And therefore Montaigne saith prettily when he inquired the reason why the word of the lie should be such disgrace, and such an odious charge. Saith he: If it be well weighed, to say. that a man lieth is as much as to say that he is brave toward God and a coward toward men. For lie faces God, and shrinks from man."
 Surely the wickedness of falsehood and breach of faith cannot possibly be so highly expressed as in that it shall be the last peal to call the judg- ments of God upon the generations of men; it being foretold that when Christ cometh He shall not find faith upon the earth"

STIMULATION OF BUSINESS.

The Chicago Banker, a bank periodi- cal, gives under Iowa Banking News the following statement:
 "Des Moines banks did a big busi- ness Saturday, supplying cash to mer- chants and grocers. At first the cause for the sudden demand for coin was not apparent to the financiers Then they realized that the saloons of the city had been closed a week Work men, who had been cashing their checks ln the thirst parlors on Sat. urday nights and leaving a goodly share of the exchange in the saloon keepers till were, instead, getting them cashed in legitimate places of business. Des Moines has been dry two weeks now If business has been injured, as the vets so long predicted, there is no evidence of that fact. Al ready the merchants see a stimulation of business, and money which former ly went for booze is already beginning to go for food and clothing and in the payment of honest debts"

SAVAGE AND TIGER IS
 BIGGEST FEATURE YET

Every man, woman and child with 2 drop of red blood in their veins loves a picture or story of adven- ture where the hero is on the brink of death or misfortune every min ute; but Wiggles out every time by some hair-breadth escape and finally proves that virtue triumphs over vice and all ends happily. Well, that is the kind Of a picture George Kleine has furnished in Between Savage and Tiger" which will be shown at the Plaza today for the last time. It is a six part story of adventure on the high seas and in the widest jungles of India, with tigers, ele plants and wild savage tribes play ing conspicuous part. It is a wonderful picture, one which holds the auditor spellbound at the very audacity of the situations. Wonder fully produced, and splendidly acted it ranks with Quo Vadis" and The Last Days of POmpeii," although of an entirely different order.
 This great feature will be at the Plaza for today only. It is another of the big things that are making the Plaza a house to be reckoned with and anyone going to see it will get their full moneys worth and more.
