Debate on the general Indian ap-

Debate on the general Indian ap-
preparation bill in congress brought
forth some interesting facts It ap-
pears that. under the present policy of
the government the Indian. bureau
will never be through with it's work,
and if the policy continues the work
will grow larger. The Indian has
progressed more often by the neglect
of the government than by the pro-
lection of the government. So long
as the Indians are taught that the
government will feed them they never
will develop the individual initiative
necessary to make them useful citi-
zens. Congressman Murray of Okla
homa suggests that the government
teach the Indian how to work instead
Of doing out small amount now and
then to feed him. Industry is the
first step in progress of any race, and
in view Of the fact that the present
Indian policy is colossal failure the
government might do worse than to
adopt the suggestion. -. aE.s.,..,

An amendment to the state consti-
tuition authorizing a revolving fund
of S250,000 to be used; to hasten the
settlement of state lands will be sub
mitted to Minnesota voters at the next
general election for approval or rejec-
ton, and vigorous campaign will be
waged to secure it's adoption. The
state fair and county fair boards will
be requested to organize tag days at
their respective fairs, tags to be sold
to visitors at cents, and it is hoped
that fund will thus be obtained ade-
quate for the purpose of the cam
paign The amendment will, if adopt
ed, work for the benefit of the entire
state, and it will materially aid in
the development Of northern Min
nesota.

gagged Frank B. Kellogg Of st. Paul.

did he plead the peoples cause. Later
Mr.: Kellogg became leading counsel

lstration. Now Mr.. Kellogg is urged
by friends and admirers from all Sec
lions of the state to stand as candi-

The following excerpt from a speech

The following excerpt from speech

resentative Venable illustrates the ad-
vantages Of preparedness nicely:
Mr.. Speaker, it has been my pleasure dur
ing my life time to be intimately and person.
ally acquainted with two dogs. One of them
was little rat terrier who had little tail
cured over his back like little corkscrew.
That little dogs life was one long sad wall Of
misery. He was kicked by every man he
met and whipped by every dog he ran across.
knew another dog, magnificent gentleman
of his race. His magnificent head reared
itself above his shoulders as the head of a
lion. He thewed and sinewed like a
gladiator, and his curved forelegs and staunch
launches spoke Of tremendous strength. He
lived his life respected by dogs and men. 1
owned him for five years. and I caressed him
when I felt like kicking him. Why? He
was a prince of the house royal, gladiator
Of his kind, and he 'prepared.'' AS a
result of that he lived his life in peace I'M
whipped by any dog, and not having any dog
to whip, admired of mankind, and caressed
by all, and finally sank to sleep with all his
institutions intact and his personal and prop
erty rights thoroughly respected.

Minnesota's county option law is
valid according to a unanimous opin-
ion handed down by the state supreme
court Friday. The statute was at
tackled on the grounds that cities
with home rule charters had a consti-
tutional right to handle the liquor
question for themselves. The court
ruled that when county votes dry,
the power to issue licenses is with
drawn from every municipality in the
county, and that the law does not
conflict with the home rule charter
provisions Of the state constitution.
The opinion was written by Commits
sioner NJ. D. Taylor.

Z WHY KELLOGG HESITATES.
( The movement begun by Edi-
< tor Robert C. Dunn, in the
Z the Princeton Union, to induce
:: Hon. Frank B. Kellogg, of ST.
( Paul, to reconsider his determin-
j; alton not to be a candidate for
United States senator, bids fair
: to bear fruit. Mr.. Kellogg adj
mits that the idea Of being sena-
: tor appeals to him, but declared
that, handicapped as he would be
: by the primary law, he would
: rather step aside. There has
: been unfriendly comment to the
effect that Mr.. Kellogg was
: afraid to submit his claims to the
: voters, but this comment was
: based upon a misrepresentation
; purely. Mr.. Kellogg would like
; very much to submit the ques-
i: ton to the voters and let them
: judge, but he realized that the
; primary is a law which is loaded
!; for the benefit of the incumbent.
: Under it's workings, about the
j; only chance of success lies in ex-
: tensive advertising, and adver-
; Using costs money. Now, Mr..
: Kellogg could afford to spend the
; necessary money, but the law
: steps in and limits expenditure
to $1,000 for the two campaigns.
1t must be admitted that any
man with average intelligence
can see that such a statewide
campaign cannot be conducted
for $500. Mr.. Kellogg's posi-
ton was that, no matter what
others might be willing to do,
: he would not violate the law
simply to become United States
senator. Others are not SO cons
cientious or scrupulous, and in
such a race, the honest man is
always at a disadvantage. 1t
now appears, however, that there
is a general demand among a
large portion Of the people of the
state for the Kellogg candidacy,
and this element proposes that if
Kellogg will allow the use of his
name, they will do the work and
see that their own expenses are
paid. This instance is a reminder
of the time when "Bob" Evans
could have been elected to the
senate had he been willing to use
money, as many of his friends
urged. Mr.. Evans told his man.
ayers that he did not want the
Office if it became necessary to
spend a cent illegitimately. His
friends obeyed the implied COM
mand. The result was the elec-
ton of the present incumbent,
Moses E. Clapp, who was not,
perhaps, so scrupulous.-Wade-
ma Pioneer-Journal.

North Dakota will be in the throes
of a capitol removed fight, if the
requisite number Of signatures to
petitions now being circulated to ap-
ply the initiative to the removal are
secured. Aside from the fact that
New Rockford wants the. state house
there appears to be no reason why
our sister state should move it's CAPT.
tai from Bismarck, and if an election
is called the indications are that it
will be time and money wasted. This
fact won't deter the agitators, how
ever, as the people pay the freight.

Senator Ashurst of Arizona

Senator Ashurst of Arizona pro-
nounces the pork barrel system to be
the most damning blight upon con-
gress, and then ventures the opinion
that the evil will remain until the peo-
pie and the newspapers denounce ap-
preparations for their own districts
unless the same be justified by actual
necessities and requirements of the
government as whole. The senator
is right. Congress is not entirely to
blame for the wasteful and extrava-
giant pork barrel. Nothing else can be
expected until the people decide to
place the welfare of the nation above
local considerations. And it is time
this was done. -.

THE RESULTS.

The cause of the European war re-
mains obscured, but the results thus
far stand out glazing and hideous.
Bloodshed is, Of course, the heaviest
toll but the waste of money is stupen-
dous and an economic crash is not i'm
possible. The following article from
the Washington Post, recently read
into the Congressional Record, gives
some idea of the price that is being
paid:
The European will have lasted l8
months tomorrow-the blacklist IS months
known to the modern world.
What has been accomplished?
No European country has been benefited, nor
has human liberty advanced at any point, nor
has any great moral principle triumphed in
any place or any battlefield.
The net result has been 100000 made prs-
oners, and more than 9,S30,0O0 wounded and
MANNED many crippled for life.
This measureless bloodshed and suffering.
making millions widows and many more mil
lions orphans, has been the heaviest toll of
the war.
Next the money loss-s1O, 1852 100000 bor-
rowed for by Germany, Austria, and Hun
gary; s16,19e, 100000 borrowed for war by
France, England, Russia and Italy; grand
total of $27, 061 100000 spent in making war;
The mind can not grasp such stupendous
figures or such wastage It means twenty
seven times the total national debt of the
United States, incurred in 1879 years of history
including five wars.
1t means sum equal to the entire savings
or increase in capital of the entire world for
10 years.
1t means debt of $3.50 for every family in
all belligerent countries-more than the total
income of a year of every European peasant
family unskilled laborer in Europe
It means tax burdens for this generation
and for generations yet unborn that will make
the burdens of life greater than ever before
for all.
In short, as Mr.. Dian1ant, the expert in
foreign exchange, wrote last week, bankruptcy
is so menacing in all the warning countries
that eff political economy does not make
an end of the the will make end

Citizens of Minneapolis are clam
oring for an increase of the police
force to deal with the wave of crime
which is sweeping that city. Bank
robbery tactics have been adopted
by burglars, and instead of working
alone or in pairs the providers have
taken to working in bands to "clean
out" residences. Under present con-
ditions the Mill City is far from being
a desirable place of residence.

Prussian efficiency has been the out
standing feature of the TITANIC Euro
pean conflict, and plans are now under
way in Prussia for the establishment
in every province Of funds from which
returning soldiers, both during and af-
ter the war, may borrow at low
rate Of interest in order to re-estab-
fish themselves in business. This will
relieve many Of the soldiers of the
worry about what they and their fam
lilies are to do in the future without
any capital with which to start bust
ness anew, and illustrates the far
sighted Prussian policy Of prepared
ness in all matters. .a
