TASK TO PREVENT SALE
/ Of LIQUOR TO INDIANS
Commissioner Cato Sells Outlines
Dramatic Story Of Govern
ment's Fight.

A dramatic story of the government
fight to stop the sale of liquor to In
dams is outlined by Cato Sells, COM
missioner of Indian affairs. So well
have the efforts of the Indian service
succeeded. he said. that-the. traffic viz
tually has been broken up.
Not only has the government cut the
sale of liquor to Indians on reserva-
tons and elsewhere, but in one in
stance it has made a fifth of state
dry through enforcement of sixty
year-old Indian treaty. Older treaties
are being studied now to determine II
saloons in other territory partly popu-
lated by Indians can be closed.
Minnesota is the state in which a.
vast area was freed of saloons by
treaty enforcement. The agreement
revived by the government is known
as the Chippewa treaty of 1859 For
many years its provisions regarding
the sale of whisky had been forgotten
until one day last summer 1t was dis
covered in the Indian bureau here that
the convention was perpetual bar to
the sale of intoXicants in northwest
Minnesota.
Indian officials determined to enforce
the treaty and began, too, the study
of similar agreements in other states.
October 20 last an order went forth
that saloons in several of the larger
towns in the territory must close
within ten days. Liquor dealers refused
to close and took the fight into the
courts, where it has just been decided
that the treaty provisions still are In
force.
Indians Opposed Sale.
Indian officials say the Indian him
self first realized that alcohol was d

In other parts of the country officials
charged with enforcement of laws
against sale of whisky to Indians
worked through court action. Several
officers were killed.
An educational campaign against the
use of alcohol. Indian officials declare
did much for the enforcement of laws
A pledge signing campaign also was ar
aid Education of the Indian against
drink was undertaken through the
schools. where students were interested
in essay writ 1g contests.
While investigating treaty arrange
ments Indian officials discovered for
gotten law permitting the government
to hold up annuity payments in regions
where liquor was within easy reach OF
Indians This officials assert, was one
of the most fruitful. methods tried
Payments were stopped until head mer
of the tribes promised cooperation and
until officers were convinced white, res
idents in contiguous territory would
aid in law enforcement. r..
