DEAN ASHLEY
Says Indians Are Not Naturally
Booze Fighters.

Aberdeen, March 6.-Rev. 5. Ash
lay. Episcopal missionary to the
Sioux Indians. has just returned from
a trip to the reservation country west
of the river, where he visited a num-
Der of missions for the Indians. In
an interview upon his return. he ex-
pressed the opinion that the pattern
alistic system of government to
which the Indian is subjected by the
federal government is not the best
system, so far as the Indians best
interest is concerned.
The system is wrong said Rev.
Mr.. Ashley. There are too many
wheels within wheels to get imme-
date results tending toward an i'm
provement of conditions. The white
people of South Dakota should know
more about the living conditions OF
the red man., who, in a few years. will
be a %neighbor. / find there is a ten
dency on the part of the indians to
let drink alone. The Indian likes
liquor if he sees another drinking
but as the cause has in many places
been removed, the Indian does not
crave the drink"

An avalanche of bills, resolutions

able legislative subject. Especial
~ noticeable were those proposing
various war measures. The govern
ment printing Office will be unable

ments for several days.
There was the usual scramble for
seats to view the opening. The gal
larry crush was terrific. An hour be-
fore the session opened. practically
every seat was filed. The doors
opened at 10 a. m, with long lines
of people waiting. Admission on the
house side was by card only. Each
member was given two cards.
Fond mothers. wives and sweet
hearts of members looked down as
the oaths we're administered. Femi-
nine fnery and furss lent touch
OF color to the massed galleries.
Women spectators were in the ma
iority. A sprinkle of diplomats oc-
cupied their specially reserved gall
leries. The White House reserved
sections were also occupied by mem
bers and guests of the presidents
household Hundreds of persons
couldn't get in.
Senatorial dignity put a damper
on demonstrations in the senate.
Flowers were sent to the desks of
many. The subdued hum of re-
pressed excitement in the senate
was in sharp contrast to the clamor
and tumult in the house.
Tomorrow, real business will be-
gin. Committee assignments are
practically completed and initial
measures drafted First on the pro-
gram is the extension of the emer-
