SAVING THE INDIAN BABIES

One of the most encouraging develop
ments of later day civilization has been the
decrease of infant mortality Medical sci
ence, by improving the milk supply and IN
stituting measures for guarding it from
contamination, by preaching the gospel OF
fresh air and conducting campaign Of edu-
cation for mothers in the care of the baby,
has given the little strangers a new lease on
life Today we hear comparatively little
about "the fatal second summer" and other
bugaboos of former generation. But the
benefits of the "save the babies" crusade, it
seems, have not extended to all. Appar-
emily the little Indians have been overlook
ed. Cato Sells, Indian Commissioner, has
been aroused to the necessity of doing some
thing for the papoose and doing it without
delay. He makes the startling announce
ment that threefifths of the Indian infants
die before reaching the age Of five years.
He calls upon every employ of the Bureau,
DOCTORS nurses, teachers and matrons to as
sist in reducing this frightful percentage Of
mortality.
It would seem that more important than
any system of education for the older ones,
or other enlightened measures for the up
lift of the red man. is this problem OF saw
mo the babies. The abnormally high death
rate is significant Of widesp fead unsah1rary
conditions i'm the homes of the Indians and
of deep-seated ignorance of ordinary n.y.
giene. There must be instruction on these
points. Commissioner Sells should receive
the hearty cooperation not only OF his asso-
ciates, but of other branches of the govern
ment, notably the Public Health Service, IN
the campaign upon which he has entered

MIGRATORY BIRD LAW
CONTINIES IN FORCE

Washington, d. c., March IA mis-
leading statement has recently become cur
rent in newspapers Of the Mississippi Val
lev and elsewhere, to the effect that the De-
partment of Agriculture has suspended the
enforcement of the Federal regulations un-
der the Migratory Bird Law and by this
means has enabled sportsmen, under State
laws, to shoot wild fowl the coming spring
Under the Federal regulations as they
now stand, the season on all migratory wild
fowl is closed until next autumn through
out the United States. Federal inspectors
and wardens are required, and others inter
ested in the protection of wild fowl are re-
quested, to report to the Department OF Ag-
riculture all cases of violations of the regu-
lations, in order that proper action may be
taken.
The Department of Agriculture has no
power to suspend the laws or to pardon VIC
lations of the regulations. Doubtless the
erroneous impression, on which the news
paper statements are based, has grown out
of the tendency of litigation involving the
\ constitutionality of the Act of Congress ap-
proved March 4, 1913, under which the regu-
lations we're promulgated. The lower Fed
eral courts disagreed as to the validity OF
the statute and the issue was carried to the
Red Lake news. [volume] (Red Lake, Minn.) 1912-1921, 1916-03-15
RED LAKE, MINNESOTA, MARCH IS, 1916.

Supreme Court of the United States. The
case was argued in the Supreme Court in
October, 1915, but has not been decided.
Following the lower court decisions, Con
gress appropriated money for the purpose
of continuing the enforcement of the law.
The Department Of Agriculture is bound to
report to the Department Of Justice viola
tions Of the regulations if the Supreme
Court should declare the law constitutional.
All persons, should, therefore, be warned of
the danger they incur from failure to abide
by the regulations.

His life was a great adventure. He

being afraid of the wet" That was the
creed in which Jack London lived 1t
is curious that rover who had risked
his life in so many wild and strange
places should at last die at home in his
own bed He was found unconscious,
pen clutched in his hand, some scrubbed
sheets of paper scattered on the floor.
The West gave us 0. Henry and
Frank Norris and Jack London. 1t is
giving and will give us many more writ
ers of penetration and breadth. 1t is
less self-conscious than the East, and
perhaps it has finer visions and bigger
story to tell. To-day the West has
claimed the right to select our Presi-
dents. Signs are not lacking that to-
morrow it will be claiming the right to
produce our literature.
