SHOWS UP INDIAN TREATY
Continued from 1st page

officers closed up the saloons.
There is this difference. The
Minnesota treaty provides that
Congress can alter the provisions
of the treaty in regard to the
sale of spirituous liquors on
coded lands, while the Wiscon-
sin and Michigan treaty puts
the matter strictly up to the
President of the United States,
and Rev. McMannus says that
President Wilson is too busy
with matrimonial affairs and
affairs of the government of
the United States to want to med
die with this"
The highest courts of the
land have upheld the actions
of the Indian department in en-
forcing the provisions of the
treaty and there is not the least
doubt but that they would up
hold them in their efforts to
close up the saloons in Wiscon-
sin and Michigan covered by
the treaty.
There is a vast empire covered
by the Wisconsin treaty which
was signed by Indian chiefs and
Government representatives on
Madeline Island during the early
ffties. Starting at Marquette,
the line runs across the PENN
sula and down Green Bay to the
city of Green Bay, thence across
the state and up the st. Croix
river, taking in a large part of
the county of ST. Louis in
Minnesota, down Lake Superior
to the place of beginning.
There a large number of peo-
pie in the north Wisconsin region
interested in the enforcing of
the treaty provision regarding
the handling or sale of liquor on
the coded lands and Rev. Nc
Mannus will have many hackers
in his fight for the enforcement
of this provision.
Rev. McMannus has a reputa-
ton for being no "quitter" when
he starts a thing which he be-
lieves to be right and the liquor
interests have something to fear
through his announcement that
he is going to devote consider
able time on this important
question.
The Times stands as an enemy
to the liquor traffic and we are
interested in this fight. We
hope that it will not be long
until the Indian department at
Washington takes action toward
wiping out the saloons of north
ern Wisconsin as they have done
| in Northern Minnesota.
