PEACE PROSPECTS

Every few weeks shiver goes through finance and business in this country whcu somebody yes peace" or notes the illness of a European ruler as likely to bring sudden termination to the European conflict.
 Once and for all American Industry should under stand that the battle raging is conflict of sys. tems of government and of crowned heads. It is fundamentally battle of peoples. hundred British Cabinets may ia but the for the defense of Great Britain will go on. hundred Kaisers Kings or Elm perors may be laid in the dust but their passing win mean nothing for the interests of peace.
 Germany may secretly promote a Ford or any oth- CT peace propaganda but there will be no result
 Two irreconciable systems of government have met in conflict, and the fight be to finish. Either Prussan system and Germany efficiency will rule the world or democracy promoting peace and individual de- velopment will be the ruler
 Two systems of irreconcilable social order met in conflict 55 years ago and within this nation was settled world issue.
 One side or the other must go down tod efeat There world issue is to the front in the drama of tho planet Ones ide or the other must go down to defeat There is no possible compromise It Is on both sides the peoples war

rEN STATES ABOLISH THE DEATH PENALTY
tNew York world.)

(New York word)
 With the addition of Tennessee. ten States of the Union. with total present population of more than lsOOOOOO have abolished the death penalty for murder The nine previously listed were Kensas Maine. Mchi gan Minnesota. North Dakota. Oregon Rhode Island South Dakota and Wisconsin.
 The situation in Tennessee is peculiar The Bow CTS act passed by the Legislature at the last session was vetoed by Gov Rye, He held the bn longer than five days within which veto must become effective but claimed that as the Legislature was in recess at the time he was entitled to five days delay after it was again in session He was sustained in the lower courts. but the State Supreme Court holds that the legislative recess did not extend the five days limit Thus this very important action by the first Southern or border State in the list rests with technical legal decision.
 most significant omission in the Bowers law is that it does not abolish capital punishment for criminal assault For that man may still be executed; he cannot be for murder It may be doubted if any State South of Tennessee would pass an similar to the Bowers law without making similar exception

'HAs The INDIAN NO RI6HTS7"
(By Dr.. Carlos Montezuma.)

(By Dr.. Carlos Montezuma.)
Under the above caption Doctor
Carlos Montezuma made a strong
appeal before the conference Of
The Society of American Indians,
held at Lawrence, Kansas, last
fall, and from his address we quote
in part some of his statements
which are as follows:
''The Society of American In
dams has met and met. This COM
ing together every year has
been the mere routine of shaking
hands, appointing committees,
listening to papers, hearing discus
sions, passing a few resolutions,
electing officers, then re-organiz
ipg--and that has beer the extent
of our outlook and usefulness for
our race. Our placing too much
faith and confidence in the Indian
Bureau has caused us to evade the
vital, the most important and fun
damental object of our Society.
Mohonk Conferences, Indian
Rights Association, Indian Friends
and other similar organizations
have also evaded the vital, para
mount issue; if they touched on it,
they did it in the form Of a whis-
per.''
''In the bloody aid gloomy days
of Indian history, public sentiment
was against the Indians-that they
could not be civilized; they could

are doing something. 1t is never
ceasing, never ending"
Indian employees in the In
dian Service are working against
the freedom Of their race"
Truth hurts, but it is never
wrong, and in the long run it con-
quers. The Indian Bureau is the
only obstacle that stands in the
way, that hinders our peoples
freedom. 1t seems so strange, so
incredible and so unheard of, that
we Indians must fight and kill the
very organ that was organized to
free US, in order to free our.
selves" ."
1T is appalling and lnexplicable
that the pale-faces have taken all
the Indians property-the CONT
nent of America-which is all he
had in the world. The Indian asks
for public school, college and uni
versity education for his children.
To refuse such a noble request
would be- as cruel a. to give q
stone when he asks for bread.
Will the Department defray the
expenses of any college or univer-
sity Indian students9 The Indian
Bureaus motto seems to be,
Eighth grade and no MORE" Aud
therefore we may assume that the
Indian Department does not want
the Indian educated. 1t may be
wise, and is afraid that they will
make too many lawyers who will
fight it to finish. 1t may be
that the Indian Bureau fears some-
thing may happen from the In
dams knowledge of doing some-
thing"

That is about how we came to
be wards of the government. They
and we as their children, have paid
dearly in every way to have the
United States Government in

accomplishing what no doubt the
government thought they would
and should accomplish when sent
out here, but as a matter of fact
the report is misleading and no
doubt was written for the purpose
of justifying the long drawn out
work of the Burch-Danlels forces.
Aside from the criminal suits
for which L. S. Waller and NJ. j.
Kolb were prosecuted, the forces
have accomplished practically moth
ing.
Some reputable business and
professional men rather than de-
fend some suits, regarding which
they had some doubts, gave quit
claim deeds for the lands involved
to the government.
The trespass cases were those
where the timber agents of this
reservation, who received compen-
sation for their employment from
the tribal funds of the Chippewas
Notwithstanding that they looked
after the trespass on individual al
lotments, settled themselves,
through. the Agency Office here.
1t is learned that twelve suits
during the past seven years have
been tried and that the govern
ment has won only three of these;
that mainly technical questions
have been raised by the govern
ment force and tried which has
taken more time to try than all
the cases, had they been tried
properly, would have taken where
the questions of fact are involved.
1t may possibly be true that the
Burch and Daniels forces, includ-
ing the trespass which was collect
ed through the efforts of the timber
agents, have collected SEQ, 900,
but it has cost the governments and
tie Chippewas between three and
four hundred thousand dollars to
do this, so that it would have been
more expedient and better for all
concerned had the. government
used the money to pay the allot-
tees for the lands and timber they
sold under their own affidavits that
they were adult mixed-blood allot-
tees. 1t is not the alDottees chat

House Indian committee, has sug.
gested that commission be APP

tribal funds and property, and
place them upon their own re-
sources. But as to the incompe-

This plan should meet with the
approval of all the Chippewas and
no sentimental reasons, nor selfish
motives should interfere with the
proposition.
It is proposed to pay the COM

SUBSCRIPTION: s1.5o PER YEAR IN ADVANCE
Sells Report On White
Earth Land-Fraud
Cases.

In his annual report the COM
missioner of Indian affairs has this
to say~relative to the land suits OF
this reservation:
''The act of June FL, 1906 ga
Stat. L., 325-353), permitted only
adult mixed-bloods of the White
Earth Reservation, Mimi, to alien
ate their allotments. In 1909 it
was learned that gross frauds had
been and were being perpetrated-
mainly by whites-on full-blood
allottees holding restricted lands,
and that the lands of minor mixed
bloods were being purchased, en-
numbered, and denuded of tim
Der. .
Through the Department OF
Justice suits were instituted to
cancel and set aside these fraudn-.
lent cenyeyances, and as basis
for investigating these fraud cases
: roll Of 1908 allottees of the res
ervation was prepared, showing
the degree of Indian blood. On
June 8, 1914, the Supreme Court,
in the case of the United States
VS.. First National Bank 1884 u. S.
245), held that the term mixed
blood'' found in the act Of June
81, 1906, meant that any identiti-
able quantum of blood other than
Indian blood relieves the allot-
ments of the adult Chippewas from
all restrictions upon alienation"
''Since inaugurating this work
1929 suits have been instituted by
the Government to recover. ap-
proximately, 1O3, 1920 acres of land
alleged to have been illegally alien
ate1, and for accounting by vari-
Gus defendants for timber cut and
removed therefrom. Three bills
have been filed in equity to clear
title to 288 alotments, aggregatlng
23,O4O acres, and 10 cases of al
legged fraudulent conveyance have
been prepared and reported for
suit. DEGREES and orders in favor
of the United States were obtained
in IS cases, by which 4,906.o2
acres were recovered to the In
dams; 500 paio in fines; and S13,
900 paid for land sod, represent
ing a total of $50, 602.3O. There
was collected from timber trespass
and depredations $45, 0OO;7 claims
were settled out of court, repre-
senting 500, 1886; % quit'clalm
deeds we're obtained, clearing title
to 1850 acres; and $4,000 was
collected as additional compensa-
ton for minors lands. The net
result is that there has been COL
lected in cash, recovered in land
values, and for settlements and
trespass, more than 5000, ooO."
-Four suits have also been in
stituted by the Government to re
strain the county officials Of Beck
er, Mahnomen, and Clearwater
Counties, in which the White
Earth Reservation is located, from
wrongfuIly taxing trust lands still
held by allottees, whether full
blood or mixed. These tax cases
involve lands aggregating SO, 204.-
II acres"
According to the foregoing re-
port, it would be inferred that the
Burch-Daniels forces have been
