ASSUMING MUCH AU-
THOR|TY.

While it is not our intention tC
take every occasion to criticise
Supt. Hinton, we believe he ex-
ceeded common courtesy by call
ing council of the members Of
this reservation to appoint officers
for the 18th of June celebration
and by expressly stating that moth
ing would be considered in the
meeting except the appointing OF
officers, etc.
The new superintendent should
bear in mind that the celebration
is exclusively an Indian matter;
that in making an appropriation
for the celebration Congress makes
the following provisions:
THE Secretary of the Interior
is hereby authorized to advance to
the executive committee of the
White Earth Band Of Chippewa
Indians of Minnesota the sum of
$1,000, or so much thereof as may
be necessary, to be expended in
the annual celebration of said
band to be held June II, 1916, out
of the funds belonging to said
band"
For forty-three years the Chip
pewas of this reservation have
been celebrating the anniversary
OF their settlement here, and dur
ing this time not an agent or sup
erintendent ever interfered in the
remotest manner regarding the
selection of officers until ex-Supt.
Howard did 80.
Now Supt. Hinton is following
in the footsteps of his predecessor.
To what extent he will continue to
do so remains to be seen, but on
account of his past citations with
Howard it is believed his policies
will be the same as those OF the
latter.
1t is doubtful whether the meet
ing Supt. Hinton has called would
have been inclined to discuss any
other business besides that of the
celebration, but in ordinary cases
it would claim the right to do 80,
and would also have the right to
do so.
Congress, in making the appro-
priation for the celebration, does
not delegate the right to the sup
erintendent to take any part in
designating when the council
should be held, or where, or to
limit the Indians as to what shall
be done.

The MexiCans Are In
dianS.

Among the civilized races the
warfare which is being carried on
by the Mexicans does not meet
with the approva! of the former,
but it is the Indian way Of war
fare and it cannot be overcome
even by them if they tried.
But Villas raid into United
States territory cannot be over
looked by this government. But
the government has probably made
a mistake by sending a handful of
men into a foreign country to ar
rest him. If it had followed the
usual custom of the states of de-
manding the delivery of fugitlves
from justice and had called upon
Carranza to deliver Villa Within a
certain period the administration
would not now fiud itself in all APP
parently embarrassing situation.
Appropos to the efforts that are
being made to capture Villa, DR..
Frazer of Waukon recently tele
graphed a member of Congress
that he would furnish fifty Chip
pewas to track and capture Villa.
It would be interesting to know
who gave him this authority to
speak for the Cbippewas.
From our point of view Indian
tribes should not join in the war
fare against Nexicans, because
the latter are Indians and descend
ants of the genuine Americans.

Denver, Colo, March 81, 1916.
If the promptness with which people
pay taxes and the total amount paid
is any indication Of the prosperity and
growth of state, then Colorado is in
splendid condition, for money has been
rolling into the state treasury in great
shape the past few weeks. As every
one knows, the first half of the an
nual tax becomes delinquent on March
/, and draws interest after that date.
The second half becomes delinquent
August /. This makes February and
July the great taxpaying months.
County treasurers make their remit
tances to the state treasurer early in
each month for the preceding months
collections. Therefore, March and
receives the most money. In March
1914 he received SIPS, 099.72; in March
1915, he received S262, O95.sO, and dur
ing the present month S4S4, 1855.
This shows an increase over last year
of more than eighty per cent, and an
increase of more than two hundred
and fifty per cent over the last March
of the last democratic administration.
This unprecedented increase shows
that business conditions are wonder
fully improved over those of two
years ago. 1t confirms the reports
that banks are sending in, to the eff
feet that old accounts are being paid
and mortgages lifted in an unprece-
dented way.
This improvement is especially no.
ticeable in the agricultural districts,
and it may be of interest to know
how some of the larger counties COM
pare with each other in the amount
of their remittances.

Interest in state and national poll
tics had been temporarily relegated 20
the rear in this city by the circulat-
ing of petitions calling for an election
to change the city government from
the commission form back to the mayor
form, and naming Mr.. Specr for may
or.
This election will be held May 8,
just one week after the republican
state convention. Possibly no man in
the state has as many devoted admir-
ers or as many implacable enemies as
Mr.. Speer. The campaign will be
short but it promises to be full of
bitterness.
Mr.. Speer claims that he will con-
duct the city government in a non
partisan way if elected, but repuDli-
cans remember that when mayor be-
fore, he was intensely partisan, and
therefore, do not place much conf
dence in his promises.
/ Republican leaders at this writing
have not decided whether to initiate
a charter ard put up a candidate
against him, or whether to endeavoi
to unite all the opposition, republican
democratic, progressive and socialist
4 in campaign whose only Slogan will
be Down with Speer." In the latter
case it would be the plan to continue
the present form Of government fol
another year at least. Mr. Speer has
heretofore favored wide open town
and it is believed that those who op.
pose a strict enforcement of the pro.
hibition law will rally to his support
These people. however, will miss the
four hundred headquarters they for.
merly had in the open saloons and il
is believed will not cast nearly sc
large a vote as in former years. The
issue therefore, really will be the
Wet and Dry issue and will be watch.

The fact that mule is stubborn
may lessen his value to the average
user-but the soldier is inclined to
value this trait The mule is being
rated above the horse for actual use
under ire on battlehelds, and is much
used by the artillery. An unframed
horse. being nervous and high strung
is likely to dash about madly under
ire. but the mule stubbornly holds his
place regardless of the din. The Brit
lsh are now planning to mount a part
OF their cavalry on American mules.
A favorite story OF the British artil-
lery is told of the artillerymen who
tried to retreat with their guns under
a warm attack. The gun team of
mules stubbornly refused to bulge.
SO in desperation the gunners returned
to the gun and succeeded in beating
back the attack They were warmly
commended for their valor-but admit
ted that the praise was properly due
