Odanah People In Municipal
Court.
Mrs. a. X. Alien Arrests MRS. Gorka
First OF the Week.

Tuesday of this week Sheriff Dormady
came down from Ashland and took in
charge Mr.. and Mrs. Gorka, on complaint
of Mrs. Allen of this village and the mat
ter was aired in the Municipal court at
Ashland before Municipal Judge Garvip
For some time past the matteE had been
agitated in the neighborhood where the par
ties reside and from investigation On our
part found no grounds for complaint, and
to the CONTRARY found that it was the usual
bad blood existing. Mrs. Allen resides in
one part of the same building as that oc
cupid by the Gorka's and quarrel was the
result with an ending in the court. Mrs.
Mike Checkie was the main witness in the
case. The people arrested have the sym
pathy of the entire neighborhood as they
are both hard working people.
The testimony given at the hearing by
the complaining witnesses Mesdames Allen
and Checkie was to the effect that Mrs.
Gorka spent 100 much time at the neigh
bors calling. The court discharged the
Gorka's and they I'll returned h6ine and
prepare their forces for more battles.

Washington, p, c. Feb. 2.--Congresss
map I. Z. IsenrQqt still holds to the CON
tention that Northern Wisconsin cannot be
made dry territory under the old Indian
treaties in the sane manner as Northern
Minnesota has been. His attention was
called this morning TO the criticism Of las.
H. McManus upon letters from the inter-
ior Department regarding the prohibition
of liquor from Indian ceded territory in
Northern Wisconsin,. Mr.. LenToet stated
that the Department letters spoke for them-
selves, he had not written them.
According to MIR. Lenroot the Depart-
ment claimed that it Nal not the funds to
enforce prohibition in the Indian country
but this was hardly justified since it has an
annual appropriation Of $50, ooe for this
purpose. In Mlnnesota it had been COM
pelied - take action by injunction.
But this is q..ite beside the point, said
Mr.. ienroot. SIN Wisconsin The question
is not as to prohibition OF Innian reserya-
tons hnt on ceded Indian lands where it
all depends upon the particular treaty as to
whether prohibition should prevail or not.
In the case of the treaty of 1912 ceding
Northern Wisconsin there was 10 stipula-
lation governing liquor while the treaty of
1854, ceding Northern Minnesota contain
ed such provision.
''Section~2t39 of the United States revis-
ed statues quoted by Mr.. McMauus refers
only to Indian reservations and could not
refer TO lands ceded by Indians or it would
cover practically the entire. United States
for all was once indian land. When it is
ceded, land ceases to be Indian land and is
restricted only by the terms Of the treaty.
''rhe clause quoted from page 542,
article 2 of the treaty covers trade relations
and the bunting privileges on ceded land
and has no reference to liquor excepting as
United States laws regulate Liquor on ali
territory, Indian or other
Mr.. Lenroot stated that he would be
glad to have Mr. McMapqs seek decision
in the courts instead Of relying on his own
loose construction of the law.

Recently Appearing In the itefnlzer
Ament To indian Removal, Etc.

To The Editor

10 Inc Editor
Dear SiF:- @
This missive is wsitten to express an In
dians' view upon comments made by Mr..
Peavey. of Washburn, Wisconsin in youi
paper on the February /, 1916 publication.
Allow me to quote Mr.. Peaveys' words,
Sas per your paper, which are as follows:
eff the Government can take better care of
its Indians by putting them further from the
places where liquors are sold, than move
the Indians and do not ask or enforce upon
the people Of Ashland sometning they are
opposed 10, etc.
Is not the white man satisfied with hav-
ing taken the Red Skin practically all of his
possessions without further wishing 70 exile
him from his native territory As Mr..
Peavey may be ewell aware of the tact that
the deuon sshre-water was entirely un-
known, to the Indian before its introduction
by the.pale face.
wish to state futhermore, that in my
estimation, Mr.. Peavey has talken quite a
liberty in stating the feelings Of the Ashland
people, considering that he is not citizen
OF that city. have not heard as yet,
though am daily reader of the District
papers, that the city of Ashland had chosen
Mr.. Peavey to express their opinion of this
matter.
AS to the Governing moving the Indian
It may be we'll TO bear in mind, the fact,
that the Indian was not brought here by
Uncle Sam, but was here centuries before
the white man had ever heard of or set foot
in the country.
Therefore consider that Mr.. Peavey
made very foolish, childish suggestion, in
the comments on the enforcement of the
treaties of AZ and -. | wish to ask him
to remember that the Government madt
the said trerties with the Indian. and not
merely for them.
1t is nv opinion that the white man he
ing aware of the Indian still being in posse
sion of few acres of land hopes that by
transplanting him to some other land, as
though he were some garden plant that
may be trsnspanted at will, instead of a
human being, he may get the land for his
own. Will Mr.. Peavey kindly inform us,
as to where he wishes to move the lndian'
The idda of the Indian in wanting the
treaties enfoiced is this: In the times when
the white uan held any dealings with the
Indian concerning the sale of lands or other
things, if the Indian seemed heSitant about
closing tie deal, the white man lnvar-
IDLY resortsd to the use of liquor thereby
getting the Red Skin under the influence OF
the Intoxicating beverage, apd getting tie
reins into his own hands. He usually suc-
ceeded i'll defrauding the Indian by the above
system. OF course, every one will admit
that it was a very brilliant idea and the white
man ought to feel quite elated owing to the
honorable course he adopted TO attain his end
But, can you blame the Indian for wanting
the evil removed from this territory set
aside by the Government as his | lace OF
abode?

ted as that is Memorial Day.
The report of this department
shows that never before has the tenn
perance question been given such
publicity by the press, not only
among the news items but on the
editorial page, as at the present
time. More newspapers than ever
before are refusing liquor advertis-
ing and there are twenty-nine such
papers in New Jersey now.
The destruction of the liquor traffic
will glorify God in Heaven and on
earth, and will hasten the establish

and Saviour Jesus Christ.
