Turn The Indian Loose.
THIS SEEMS TO BE The SENTIMENT
OF CONGRESS.
In an address to the Indian cor

In an address to the Indian com.
mittee of the House last week,
Edward Rogers, county attorney
of Cass County and one of tue best
known men in this state, who is a
member of this reservation, in
urging an appropriation of one
fourth of the Chippewa tribal
fund now in the United States
Treasury, stated that ninety per
cent of the members of this reser-
walton we're self supporting and if
given their distributive shares of
tribal funds and property and
turned loose upon their own re-
sources, it would be very much
better for their future welfare.
Mr.. Rogers did not exaggerate
in the least when he stated that
ninety per cent Of the mem
bers of this reservation are
self supporting, and if he had
stated that all are self supporting
except few very old persons, he
would have come nearer to the
mark.
But to what is the advanced con-
ditions Of the Indians upon this
reservation due? Every impartial
man of intelligence will unhesita-
tingly say that it is to the Clapp
Act, and the statement Of Com
missioner Luepp, while the act
was being considered by Congress;
that the proposition was an ex-
pertinent justifies this experiment..
Commissioner Luepp did not
only favor the Clapp Act but
made report to Congress favor
able to it, and this alone showed
him to be a broad gagged man
who really desired to settle the In
dian question.
If the sentiment as it can be
gathered from the House Indian
committee of Congress is an indi-
cation. the Chippewas will receive
at least one fourth of their triba
fund under per capita payment
tins year.

The Carter Resolution
Aims To Prevent Tribal Funds From
Being Squandered.

Representative Carter of Okla
noma introduced a resolution in
Congress- two weeks ago which
sill have far reaching effect in
favor of preventing the tribal
funds of Indian tribes from being
suuandered by the Indian office at
Washington. The resolution is as
follows:
"Resolved by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States Of America in Con
yress assembled, That from and
after the passage of this resolution
no payments shall be made from
tribal funds Of any Indian tribes
without specific appropriation by
Congress. except per capita pay
ments in accordance with existing
laws"
If Mr.. Carriers resolution should
become law, which no doubt
every tribe throughout this count
ry will hope for, it will be long
step towards preventing Indian
moneys from being squandered as
they have been in the past.
Mr.. Carter is of Indian blood,
being of mixed blood Chactow ORR
gin, and he is thoroughly in SYM
pathy with the Indians of the
country; he understands conditions
thoroughly as they exist among
Indians and the causes therefor.
Not only to the Indians of Okla
homa is he making himself useful
in Congress, but to Indians
throughout the country as the
foregoing resolution indicates.
