Ever since the Dutch traders first
juggled the scales In buying indian
furs the pleasure of cheating an Indian
has been almost irresistible. The only
reason why the early settlers did not
all become John Jacob Astors was that
the Indians had SO little that they
wanted What profit could the
Yankee or the Dutchman draw from
greasy deer skins and buffalo robes,
wampum (Which was not legal tender
even for the banks of Newfoundland,
birchbark baskets filed with maple
sugar, and scanty store of tobacco
and corn? The one commodity that
the Indian has owned and that the
white man has always wanted was
land; and by some fatality of divine
providence, an Indians land always
seems better than the white mans
land that lies next it. Eventually 1T
all becomes the white mans land. The
Indian is bound to give way, because
on the hunting grounds necessary for
the support of fifty poor Indian fam
lilies 1000 or 10000 white families
could make good living.
OF late years the once poverty
stricken Indians have become capital
lists because Uncle Sam has kept for
them the unearned increment in the
land Of the reservations which they &C.
cupy. Those lands become valuable;
the Indians agree to sell part; the pro-
oeeds Of the sale become great trust
funds, which are held by the govern
ment for the benefit of the tribe. The
lands themselves prove to be good cat
tie ranches, or to contain oil, or coal,
or natural gas, which the Indians can
not work. The whites bargain with
the chief men of the tribe who call
themselves owners of enormous tracts,
and lease them to stockmen. The re-
suit of this combination makes the In
dams nominally the wealthiest class
of people in the country. Every pap
poose in the five civilized tribes of
Indian territory used to come into the
world with an undivided share in prop
erty which, could he dispose of it,
would bring him from $4,000 to $4,000
in cash.

LOBBYING FOR THE UPL!FT.

Doubtless there is as much differ
ence between good lobbyist and a
bad lobbyist as between good trust
and bad trust or party leader and
boss. Yet there are moralists who
do not altogether approve the use OF
the weapons of the devil to fight the
battles of God There is small ethical
difference, they would say, between
offering money for a vote or other
valuable considerations, such as the
political support of uplifters. At any
rate, if the Washington correspondent
of the Providence Journal is to be be-
lieved, senators and representatives
are now being pestered by organized
uplifters of every form and creed as
mercilessly as they were in the bad
old days when political and financial
rings aimed at securing legislation for
their own profit.
Those who aim to benefit their fell
low-men should not be the subject of
unworthy sneers. But in some cases

but who had been frightened away by
the dolls eyes, as l have told you in
another story--that same rat once
more went In the cave. a
He looked around for something to
take away with him, and he saw the
big, round rolling pin. which Mrs Stub
tail used to flatten out the pie crust.
"Ha! The very thing for mel" ex-
claimed the bad rat Il will take that
rolling pin to my hole with me, and my
little boys and girls can play merry-go-
round on it. Ha! That will be fun for
them!"
So, being a very strong, bad rat, he
pulled the rolling pin down off the
table, rolled it along the floor, and
down into his hole where he lived. So
the rolling pin completely vanished,
which means went away.
+ When Mrs StubtaiI came back to
her kitchen, and began to finish max
ing the apple pies, she looked around
for the rolling pin, with which to roll
out the dough crust nice and thin, as
it must be for pies.
WHY" exclaimed the bear lady in
surprise, my rolling pin is gone!
Where can it be?"
"Ill help you look for it, mamma, ;"
said Neddie. So he and the bear lady
looked all over the kitchen for it, and
even down cellar, and in the parlor, be-
hind the piano. but no rolling pin could
they find. or course not, for how
could they, when the bad, old rat had it
in his hole? o3ia
swell, can't make any pies, that's
sure, . said Mrs. Stubtail.
| ,"Oh, can't you, mamma" cried Ned
die That's too bad! Why mott"
II have nothing with which to roll
out the pie crust was the bear ladys
answer.
ooh, dear!" cried Neddie. "And do
so love apple pie!'
The little bear boy felt very badly
and he was wondering where in the
world that rolling pin could be, when
all of a sudden he thought Of some
thing.
"Oh, mammal" Neddie cried. my
rocking horse! That rocks backward
and forward almost like rolling pin.
I can rock my horse over the pie crust
for you, and flatten it out as nicely as
anything
why, SO you can" said Mrs. Stub
tail. q never thought of that Come
on N eddie"
So the bear lady put the lump Of
pie crust out on the table, then she
lifted Neddies rocking horse up on the
crust. Next Neddie got on his wood
en- horses back, and back and forth
the little bear boy rocked, fattening
out the pie crust as nicely as anything.
"Now can you make the pies,
mammal" he asked.
YES said Mrs. Stubtail. II don't
need the rolling pin as long as you
have your rocking horse Then the
pie crust was made very thin, 1t was
put on top of the pies, and soon they
were baked, and Neddie and Beckie
each had some.
So this shows you rocking horse is
good for something else besides eat
ing lollypops, and in the next story III
tell you about Neddie and the cold
mouse lady-that is, if the. umbrella
doesn't go out in the rain and catch
cold so it can't go to the dance with
the rubbers.

tried to protect his wards against the
bucket-shop methods of some of their
white neighbors. Skilled white law.
yers, however, are always discovering
some possible claim of an Indian tribe
upon the government, and agreeing to
push and lobby it on 'fifty-fifty'
basis Payments Of millions of dollars
have been STAYED off by the govern
ment, which sometimes refuses to
turn over the money to the counsel
who hold these Ubiquitous contracts
A modern and fashionable method Of
cheating the Indians has been I'M
earthed by recent congressional COM
mission in the Grow Indian reserva-
ton of southern Montana. They found
that lessees who apparently had no
legal right at oil We're occupying 5O0,-
600 acres of the Indians land with
the likelihood that an obscure white
man named Heinrich would eventually
get it all. irresponsible people get ap-
pointments as administrators OF the
estate of a wealthy Indian and play
upon the heirs all the tricks which are
employed in civilized life with some
refinements. These frauds in Indian
lands are a part of the terrific efforts
to get possession of valuable land
which has never been titled without
paying anything for it. The ranchman
and the local banker think that they
re entitled to the great sums that are
to be made by buying lands for moth
ing and selling them for cattle or irri.
cation enterprises. They know that
the Indian never can make that land
available himself.
The story of the Crow agency is
one chapter in long history OF frauds
for which the government in Washing
ton is usually not responsible. The
indians are wards Of the nation, which
holds for them vast property which
they cannot utilize. The only remedy
is that which has been followed In
Oklahoma-th is, to make the In
dian citizens; give each family farm
in private ownership; recognize nc
transfer to white man until twenty
five years have passed, and eventually
give each family its share Of the trust
funds. Thousands of Indians have
shown that they can hold their OWL
under such conditions. 1t is not pos
sible indefinitely to keep whole tribes
of Indians on reservation, which is
practically an orphan asylum fol
grown people. Meanwhile robbery Of
the Indians must and can be checked
just as robbery, OF helpless children
should be prevented by the courts.

Strange as it may seem, the greatest
amount of saving does not take place
A most prosperous times. Conditions
such as have arisen in some parts OF
this country as a result of the war IN
Europe are often the signal for a re-
turn to simpler scale of living and
an increased proportion of saving.
II will not take very large In
crease of savings per capita TO make
\ radical increase in the amount OF
capital available yearly and that IN
crease will be necessary to Keep the
factories, the railroads and the mines
going.
With the great European nations
out of the market as lenders of money,
there is greater needain America for
the cultivation of the saving habit
anon the people to accumulate cap
1.al with which to finance not only the
growing demands OF this nauon, Out
also of those portions of the world that
remain at peace. If Americans respond
to this new duty there will be no lack
of CAPITAL for all the needs that are
likely to be felt.
But will they?
The trouble is that as the prosperity
of the country has grown most people
have taken on more costly habits OF
living. 1t is easy to let the dimes and
dollars slip away into new ways OF
snending, and triply hard to return to
former frugal habits.
This is time for persons in moder-
ate circumstances to cast away all
false pride. They should feel no
shame, even if they do cook their own
dinners. shine their own shoes, shovel
their own snow and carry their own
silt cases when travelling.
