Uncle Sam Is Making a Fight
To Stop The Sale of Liquor
To Indians, Told By c. Sells

WASHINGTON, Jan. ia dramatic
story of the governments fight to stop
the sale of liquor to Indians is outlined
by Cato Sells, Commissioner of Indian
Affairs. So we'll have the efforts of the
Indian Service succeeded he said, that
the traffic virtually has been broken
VI.
Not only has the government cut the
sale of liquor to Indians on reserva
tions and elsewhere, but in one in
stance it has made fifth of state dry
through enforcement of a sixty-year
cid Indian treaty. Older treaties are
being studied now to determine if sa
Icons in other territory partly populat
ed by Indians can be closed.
Minnesota is the state in which 4
vast area was freed of saloons by
treaty enforcement. The agreement
revived by the government is known as
the Chipp9aW treaty of 1885. For many
years its provisions regarding the sale
OF whiskey had been forgotten until
one day last summer it was discovered
in the Indian Bureau here that the
convention was a perpetual bar to the
sale of intoxicants in northwest Min
ncsota.
Indian officials determined to enofrce
the treaty and begun, too, the study of
similar agreements in other states. On
October 20 last an order went forth
that saloons in several of the larger
towns in the territory must close with
IN 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.
Indian officials say the Indian him
self first realized that alcohol was
menace to the race and that the Min
resota treaty as we'll as in most of the
other Indian treaties the Indian and
not the white man stipulated that in
toxicants should not be sold in Indian
territory.
In other parts of the country officials
charged with enforcement of laws
against sale of whiskey 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 an
aid. Education of the Indian against
drink was undertaken through the
schools, where students were interest
ed in essay writing contests.
While investigating treaty arrange
mants Indian officials discovered for

NO WAR WITH MEXICO


Our troubles on our southern border

others were legally speaking, more en-.
titled to the presidency than Carranza
because in their cases they had at least

Carranza's principal claim to his present
ascendancy rests mostly on his recogni.
