RUSSIAN SOLDIERS TURN

soldiers and workmen has made
public the fact that the Ger

into secret pour parlors with
the German leaders. The coun-

a wireless message proposing

this way because he knows that

According to a new ruling OF

all competent Indians of less

be granted patents to theirlands,
and all moneys of theirs held in
trust, will be turned over to
them at once Thus they will
be wards of the government no
longer. Those OF half-breed
blood or more, ii competent,
shall have patents in fee issued
to them. At least 40 acres of
their holdings must be with
held from sale to provide home.
The department in comment
ing on this ruling, saysin part !:
the time has come to discon-
tinue guardianship of all COM
petent Indians, and giving clos
er attention to .he incompetent
that they may more speedily
achieve competency. A liberal
ruling will be adopted in the
matter of passing upon appli-
cants for sale of land where the
applicant retains other land
and the proceeds areto be usec
to improve the homesteads OF
other good purposes. A moro
liberal ruling will also be made
in regard to the applicants o-
noncompetent Indians for sale
Of their lands where they art
old and feeble and need thu
proceed for their support.

A crew of Dakota Central
telephone linemen at work on
the Hartford-Wilmot road dug
up human skull at the road
side about four miles west of
Hartford Monday. The skull
was found under a rock about
eighteen inches under ground.
The men did not go any fur
ther or endeavor to learn if a
whole Corpse had been buried
there but reported their find to
the Roberts county authorities.
If an investigation has been
made we have been unable to
learn the results. The skull
may have been that of an
Indian or possibly the own
er may have been the Vic
owner may have been the vic
tim of a murder. The fact
that the rock lay over the skull
leads some to believe that q
murder may have been com
mitted at that point and the
body of the victim hastily bur.
led. Indian skulls have beer
found at different places OF
the praires in past years ano
it seems more probable that the
spot marked the last resting
place of some noble Red man

ABUSING FREE SPEECH

Before our nation enters war it
is perfectly proper to discuss the wis
dom of going to war, but the discus
sion is closed when Congress acts.
After that, no one should be permit
ted to cloak attacks upon his govern
ment or aid to the enemy under the
claim that he is exercising freedom
of speech. No sympathy, therefore,
will be wasted upon those who have
been arrested for unpatriotic utter
this applies to attacks on the Allies
well as to attacks upon the Uni
ted States. We can no more allow
our allies to be crushed than We can
AFFORD to be crushed ourselves. The
defeat of our allies would throw the
whole burden of the war upon us.
We must stand together and fight it
through. There are only two sides
to war-every American must be
on the side of the United States.
w. ]. BRYAN.
The above statement shows the
patriotism of Mr. Bryan as we'll as
his broadmindedness. Mr.. Bryan is
a most ardent peace advocate and op-
posed to war until war was declared,
but now he does not attempt to en-
barrass the administration by criti-
cisms. but urges every citizen to do
his full duty as patriot.

Free Speech and Paczfism

The following letter from a Yer
monter to the Boston Journal has
the right ring. This country is at
war and has called for volunteers.
Men like Pinkham and Jordan are
doing more harm with their peac =
at-any price propaganda than th' y
could possibly do with arms in their
hands, fighting against the country:
"You, idea of free speech in
regard to the Melrose affair sounds
right, but is it If it hal not been
for the same element that has had
free speech since ;he war started we
would be III no danger of being at
war now. To go back to the Civil
War, free speech was what misled
the South to to think that the party
at the North that voted with them
would fight for them. Even ex
President Pierce wrote to a promi-
nent Southern general that if the
South did secede and war was de-
clared that the fighting would be
north of the Mason and Dixon line
Don you suppose that every move
in the way of preventing war with
Germany is known in Germany, land
don't you think chat they bank on
this If every Southern sympa
thizer had been sent South in 81 it
would not hurt half as much as ii
did having them o<l this side Our
government is trying to enlist men
for the army and navy. How it
must help to be tGaAthatit is murder
to kill in battle. l say, charter
enough vessels to carry Jordan and
his gang who are trying to block
this government over to Germany
where they will not do half the harm
fighting in the ranks that they are
doing here. If when the Lusitania
was sunk the United States had
done what it is now doing the war
would have been ended long ago.
But instead of throwing a little
water on the fire when it started we
have waited and watched to see if
it would not go out itself. The
principle Of taking the clubs away
from policeman and making them
wear boxing gloves for fear they
would hurt some one sounds nice,
but it doesn't work out good

spot, the loneliness of which cast a
shadow over the scene that was APP
palling, yet he seemed obliged to
enter it. He did so and found a
modern political cemetery. 1t bore
marks of neglect and coming decay
and would probably soon be forgot
ten 1t was divided into three
separate and distinct groups.
The first of these was marked by
dirt monument and inscribed to
the "cursed memory of Robert NJ

tors who died in 1917 of German
measles
The next one was headed by a
rough stone marker, inscribed Ito
those who died with fool-in- the
head" Their names was headed
by w J Bryan
The last one was marked by
rough boa dis, fast going to decay,
and was inscribed ''to those who
voted for Wilson because he'll keep
us out of war;

William Jennings Bryan, once
colonel of of the sd Nebraska volun-
teers, later Secretary of State, from
which position he skedaddled when
he anticipated trouble with Ger
many, and who since that time has
been the chief disciple of Kaiserlsm
in the Unted States, has appealed
to the president, offering his services
as a private i'll the ranks Of the
American army. Pending the
manufacture and issue of his war
like equipment he wishes to be cas-
signed to ANY work that can do
until called to the colors."
Hitherto Williams best fighting
has been done with his mouth. His
record shows that his principal
product has been wind. His par
ticular7brand Of hot air has been a
valuable asset to him on the Chau-
taqua circuit and on platforms OF
the peace-at-any- price and pro Ger
man societies of the land. He has
waxed exceedingly prosperous
through marketing his natural gas
But little use has been found for
Williams brand of gas in active
warfare. 1t is poisonous, to be sure,
but not sufficiently SO to stop a
charge, and it has not sufficient lift
ing power to raise dirigib,e. Its
qualities are chiefly sopori6c, and
principally noticeable at the present
time, i'll its effect on militant..patriot-
ism.
The best possible use Mr.. Bryan
could make of the next few years
of his life would be to retire to a
sound proof room with phono-
graphic records of his principal
speeches and an electrically operat-
ed machine. There III an at
mosphere of perfect peace, undert he
pipe dream influence of his own
silver-tongued voice, he could
browse away the time until this
hated war is over-provided he
chose a point far enough inland to
obviate the risk of being torpedoed
without warning by the emissaries
Of his beloved Kaiser-by mistake,
of course.
