AS WASHINGTON
VIEWS SITUATION

Washington, Sept 15.-News Of Pre-
mier kerensky's determination to in
still better discipline into Russia s
armies created almost as much graft
acation here today as reports that
Gen. korniloff's revolt was failing and
civil war averted
If kerensky succeeds in his discip-
linary program, Korniloff's attempted
coup will have borne good fruit, in the
opinion OF officials and diplomats
Such an accomplishment would re-
move one Of the great weaknesses OF
the new democracy and, it is believed
might go far toward infusing a spiri,
of order and cooperation into the
civilian population on whose industrial
support the war so largely depends.

The cases are actions brought by

Give Us An Indian Agent,

The Chippewa delegation now
at Washington recently notified
Commissioner Sells that they would
make every effort to try and have
an Indian agency reinstated upon
this reservation; that former ex,
perience with agents had shown
them to be superior to superintend-
ents, and that no such combina
tons could exist under them as
now exis, upon Indian reserva
tioDs.
The Indian delegations now at
Washington without any excep
tons favor the reinstatement of
Indian agencies, according to ex-
pressions in their meetings there.

SUBSCRIPTION: $3.50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE
A Proper Distribution,

Some members Of some OF the
Chippewa reservations in this
state are showing some indications
of trying to dictate how the affairs
of other reservations, not their
own. should be conducted, and are
also trying to get bill passed by
congress to give the members OF
their reservations the right to
take additional allotnents upon
reservations other than their own.
These efforts are being opposed
by the delegates from this reser-
walton now at Washington. While
the delegates have no objection to
allowing a bill to pass which Will
give members Of the MISSISSIPPI
bands the right to secure addition
al allotments upon Mississippi
Chippewa reservations they strong
ly ubJect to members OF o1ner
reservations trying to SECURE such
allotments on that reservation.
The Chippewas of the Misslss1p
ri when they consolidated their
Interests with the other Chippe-
was of Minnesota made an unusual
! sacrifice, a sacrifice which was
opposed by the committee .ap
pointed by the members of this
reservation tn obtain from the
Chippewa Commission a construc
ton of the Ac5 of 1889, and Il ma
iority of them no doubt now feel
that if there is going to be d.
vision of tribal funds, the division
should be made in such manner
THAT the amounts received from
the sale of lands and timberowned
by each band should he segregated
and paid to the respective bands.
This would be only fair and
equitable division, aud each reser-
walton could then designate the
manner in which it might want its
funds to be expended.

Travel In Style to See
the white Father. "

Sheridan, Wyo.-Nineteen Grow
Indian ''chiefs"- all Indians are
chiefs when they get away from
home--left Sheridan for Washing
ton to confer with President Will
son over the disposition of a large
sum of money due the Grow tribe
from the sale of a portion of their
lands 10 the white people. The
Indians didn't wear paint and
feathers either. They were some
what different from the usually
accepted Eastern idea of Indians.
The Indians were travelling in a
Pullman, and because there was
room only for two in the drawing
room and one had to occupy an
upper berth, there was a row.
The Pullman was chartered car
from the agency right into the
Union Station at Washington.
I'VE wished to be together SO
we could talk over business and
we did not want a lot of white
people trying to engage US in con-
versation all the way across the
country said John Eagle, one of
the party. For those reasons
we thought it better to charter a
car. 1t cost us a little more that
way, but VIC didn't want to be
bothered on the trip.

we are making to see President

and dollars is due US and we wish
to arrange its distribution. "

Billions For indians And
Income For The Nation.

The vast property interests OF
the various Indian tribes constitute
a vast draw back to Indian pro
gress. This is because Indian
sproperty is specially protected and
assured to the occupant upon con-
ditions not normal in citizen COM
munities. Indian property is the
object of exploitation, not only be-
cause of its value, but because of
the ignorance Of many Indian al
lottees. The total value IF Indian
property both real and personal is
about one billion dollars. Most
of this is not taxed, even though
it is counted taxable by the Census
Bureau.

GATED community known as an In
dian reservation thousands Of ln-
dams make but scanty progress.
All Indians cannot be farmers ana
stock growers. Indian lands are
not always fitted for such pur-
poses. Indians with other tastes
are frequently bound by their
property interests to lives of idle
ness. Indian property is not an
efficient instrument Of Indian pro
gress under the present system.
When all Indians are citizens
the billion dollars in property
which they hold will be taxable,
By that time it will be worth

Indian lid" Fits
Tighter.

The Indian lid" as applied to
the territory covered by the FAM
Gus treaty of 1855, was given a
new cut and a tighter fit last week
when every dealer handling the
so called soft drink beverages
known as Malta, Maltine, Provo,
etc., all of which were claimed to
be Temperance" drinks, was given
twenty-four hours to ship his
stock out of the territory.
No resistance was offered and
all the contraband goods were
shipped out pursuant to orders, so
there was no smashing to be done
at the expiration of the time limit.
Just how far reaching this' new
order is to be has rot been DIS
closed. Heretofore all elders, ex-
tracts, btters, etc., containing a
certain percentage of alcohol have
been barred, and these are still on
the forbidden list. Whether or
not the new order is to include
ALL liquids made from a malt
brew, irrespective of the alcoholic
contents, is not known; nor is it
known as to whether or not any
of the breweries will make a test
case OF the matter to determine if
their products can be excluded
from the treaty territory.
1t is rumored around that GER
tain breweri,shave been putting
more kick" into their products
than Uncle Sans specifications
called for, hence the cleanup. AS
to how much foundation the rumor
has we are unable to say.

Carlisle Buck BeStS White
Brother, but Sister is
Different.

Chicago, Ill.-Thomas St. Ger
main IS an Indian. He has pitted
his strength and skill in athletics
against the white man and won.
He has matched his intellect with
that of his paleface brother and
has come off not without honor.
But the white woman he found the
same eternal un>olved problem she
always has been to white men
themselves. In her he met bis
first defeat.
St. German was formerly star
on the Carlisle university football
team and later an assistant coach
of the Yale eleven. He is a gradu-
ate of the Yale law school.
His first romance was with Miss
Jeanette Black, daughter of John
Black, said to be a wealthy Phila-
delphja real estate dealer. All
would have ended happily, he
says, if he had not been an Indian,
1t was the fact that his skin Was
red that caused all his troubles.
He would have married the girl,
he says, had her parents permitted
him. But they objected to an In
dian son in-law.
A baby was born. That was two
years ago. St. German says he
loves the baby and up to few
days ago still loved its mother.
But when parental objections
prevented him from giving the
infant his name, he wooed and
won another paleface maid and

says that he has been interpreter
among the Indians for 40 years,

he coulc enlist 10000 Navajo In

Christensen's letter follows:
IF Uncle Sam gets hard pressed

thorizes me l can recruit 10000
NAVAJO Indians in one month.
They will be invinclble in defense
of our country and they are eager
for the opportunity. They are

would be especially adapted for

''They already have good horses.
Their food would consist of flour,

Be Men And Not
CowardS.

Every self respecting member
Of an Indian tribe will not allow
any superintendent of an Indian
reservation to inti.nidate HIM with
the use Of an Indian police force,
but there are many Indians who
are SO ignorant of the laws of the
country that they believe that
force applied by government offic
ials is always legal; that supcrin-
tendent of an Indian reservation
may at his own discretion throw
man into Jail whether he has
violated law or not as long as
the superintendent says he has.
This practice is becoming so in
to,erable upon Indian reservations
in some parts of the country that
Indians regardless of where they
are located should take steps to
punish the offending .superintend-
ents by having them not Only ar
rested but by suing them for dam
ages.
The Indians, or at least large
majority Of them, are citizens Of
the United States and the states
within which they live, and are
entitled to the protection of the
laws, and the courts should be
appealed to when these laws are
| being violated as they constantly
are by superintendent.
It is the duty of the Society of
American Indians to protect help
less Indians as this is part of its
functions whenever they are
harassed and inundated by sup.
erintendents. In fact the Indians
of the country should themselves
unite and form Il protective asso-
citation for the purpose of protect
ing their ignorant and helpless
brethren on many reservations.
Recently an intelligent member
of the Crow Reservation in Mon
tana made a statement before the
Indian committee of the senate in
which he disclosed the actions of
the superintendent upon that res
ervation, Supt. Estop, and he ex-
hibited SO much fear and emotion
while making the statement that
he was unable to stand while do
ing SO From Indications, and
likewise the statements of the
Crow Indians, the superintendent
has through his police force and
the free use of the agency Jail
subdued the Crows.
The condition among the Grow
Indians should appeal to the In
dams throughout the country, and
they should accordingly take
steps for the protection of their
brethren who are unable to protect
themselves.
Supt. Estop IS coarse, rough
talking and abusive man, and he
gave an exhibition Of this when he
attacked Crow named Yarlotte
in the National Hotel at Washing
ton and used language which the
lowest rowdy would hardly have
been guilty of using liz such a
place. 1t was only the place and
conditions which saved him from
being handled roughly by other
delegates from Indian reserva
tions. One of the Chippew va dele
