costs to defend his property against
the unjust and illegal imposition of
the tax, as will appear from Chote
ct al, VS. Trapp, Secy, Of St. Board
of Equalization, 224 u. S. 664.
Only recently a Chippewa In
dian was compelled to bear the
costs of similar litigation to pre-
vent the collection of similar tax
imposed upon his allotment, upon
which a patent in fee had been
issued, the case being recently de-
cided by the Supreme Court of
Minnesota.
This latter case established new
principle, to-wit, that an Indian
allotment after patent in fee had
been issued, was not taxable for
the period named in the allotment
certificate SO long as the Indian re-
NAMED the owner. The Indian
Bureau, the guardian in charge,
with ample funds to defray these
costs has sat idly by and compelled
the INCOMPETENT Indian to defend
his property and to bear the costs.
/ could continue the citation of
similar cases almost without num-
Der, but the above will serve to
illustrate the principal reason for
the dissatisfaction among the In
dams with the draft law.
They do not take kindly to the
idea OF being treated as citizens of
the United States in time of war,
for military purposes only, and for
practically all other purposes, and
at practically all other times treat
ed as incompetents and held in a
state of virtual bondage. If they
are i'm fact incompetents, then they
are certainly not subject to mill
tary draft.

Are The Chippewas Liable
To Draft?

The following letter of Webster

raised the question and the war

the Chippewas to apply for ex.
emption if they so choose:
Washington, D. O.,
August Z, 1917.
Hon. Woodrow Wilson,
Pres. of the United States.
White House, Washinton, D. &.
NV dear Mr.. President:
have been appealed to by uem-
bers of the Chippewa Tribe of In
dams in Minnesota, as we'll as by
members of various other tribes to
assist them in securing ruling
that will exempt the Indians from
the operation of the Act entitled,
AnsAct to authorize the President
to increase temporarily the mill
tary establishment of the United
States" approved May 18, 1917,
and have beer, asked to bring this
matter personally to your atten-
ton. /, personally, have no patti
ence with, or sympathy for, man
who enjoys the privilege of citizen
ship under this Republic and who
hesitates or is unwilling, when his
country needs his services to re-
spond to his country's call with
alacrity, but 1 sympathize deeply
with the position taken by many
of the Indians and feel that the
matter is of such urgent import
ance that l am justified in bringing
it to your attention as an emer
gency matter. They have ne> er
been treated as though they were
citizens of this Republic, and Ger
tainly the great majority of them
have never been accorded any of
the real privileges and attributes
of citizenship.
BY section 6 Of the Act Of Feb
ruary 8, 1887, as later amended it
is declared:
And every Indian born within
the territorial limits of the United
States to whom allotments shall
have been made under the pro-
visions of this Act, or under any
law or treaty, and every Indian
born within the territorial limits
of the United States who has VOL
UNFAIRLY taken up, within said
limits, his residence separate and
apart from any tribe Of Indians
therein, and has adopted the habits
of civilized life land every Indian
in Indian Territory is hereby de-
clared to be citizen of the United
States. and is entitled to all the
rights, privileges and immunitles
of such citizens, whether said In
dian has been or not, by birth OF
otherwise, member of any tribe
of Indians within the territorial
limits of the United States with
out IN any manner impairing OF
otherwise affecting the right Of
ANY such Indian to tribal or othe1
property
Notwithstanding this emphatic
declaration that the Indians are
''citizens of the United States
entitled to all the rights, priv
leges and immunities of such citl
zens," they are by equally positive
law denied every essential attrl
butte of such citizenship.

Theda Bora Narroacly Escapes Serious Fall.

The Theda Bara superpicture, "Cleo- patra." came near ending almost be- fore if was begun, while the production was being made in Los Angeles. If one of the mountain roads which lead from Hollywood to Oxnard, Cal. where the stupendous desert scenes were ta- ken for the photoplay. had been two inches narrower, Miss Bara would have spent the following months in hospi- tai instead of on the stage of the Will jam Fox studio.
 The ord-famous artiste was return ing from Oxnard late one afternoon at rate of thirty five miles an hour Her car was descending one of the danger ous curves of the Coneijo grade, when reckless motorcyclst, speeding at a rate of sixty miles an hour suddenly shot around the curve directly in the path of Miss Baras machine, coming swiftly toward her.
 The stars chauffeur swerved to the side of the road to avoid hitting the oncoming cycllst. In so doing the heavy body of the limousine careened dangerously near the edge of the road Two inches more to the side. and the car would have dropped a thousand feet into q valley below. But it didn't hap pen.

Story of Early Purit0ns ct the P0Idce.

Last night for the first time Stuart Holmes in "The Scarlet Letter" adapted from the famous story by Nathaniel Hawthorne was shown and will run for the balance of the week.
 The story deals with the days of the early settler of the town of Boston and is a story of man and womans down fall and subsequent punishment and shame. Hester, a young married wo- man just out from England, whose hus- band is to follow on a later boat. waits his arrival for two long years Finally she falls for Dimmesdale, the pastor Of the colony. For her sin she is branded with the Scarlet Letter. but refuses tc reveal the name of the man who wronged her.
 The husband, who is the sole sur vivor of a shipwreck and who has been kept prisoner among the Indians for two years, appears on the scene just as Hester is being punished in the pillory. He reveals himself to her, but they both 'keep secret the fact that they are man and wife. Hester lives alone on the outskirts of the town with her daugh- ter.
 The husband suspecting Dimmesdale comes 10 i've Wltu nm anu acts dS the physician for the colony. He seeks to secure a confession from Dimmesdale but for seven years is unsuccessful. Finally the strain become too great and the guilty man breaks down and con fesses The husband then secretly sets the people of the colony on his wife. spreading the story that she is a witch and has bewitched the pastor. Dimmesdale arrives on the scene just as they are about to burn Hester and saves her from them, through bis own confession. The husband is called to at- tend the sick captain of pirate ship and when the latter dies the crew make away with him.

CANDY FED BABY FINDS HOME IN
 TIME FOR BED
Lost TWo-year-oId Child EvidentaIIy Knew Just What It Was
 About.

When is lost child not a lost child?
 This question has been bothering William Taylor, the candy man, and Chief of Police W. S. Harding ever since yesterday afternoon. During the day little fellow wandered in to Billy" Taylor's candy shop and was apparently lost. Taylor noti fled the chief of police and an ef fort was made to find the boys par ents, but without success for some time.
 Later Chief Harding took the boy put on the street and turned him loose, and following him at some distance, watched where he went The little fellow, finding out that he had overstayed his welcome around the candy shop, started up the street and made straight for his home in the Juneau Apartments. He entered one of the rooms and Chief Harding followed. A woman of foreign birth and another child were there and Sflt oldtcu that tut puppOoCuly ioot boy was hers.
 Billy Taylor is now wondering what constituted the attraction around his place for the little boy Whether it was the famous candy he makes. the good looks of his two lady assistants. or his own genial personality. Anyway, the kid stayed at the shop for several hours and made free with the goods on dis play. Billy is also wondering now whether other little boys will not pretend to be lost in the future tC win their way to the candy shelves Billy is also hoping that the quanti ties of candy consumed by the little fellow will not make him i'll.
