Sioux farmers of the Fit. Yates
reservation South Dakota have
advised their superintendent that
they desire no aid from the gov
eminent this year in gathering
their crops. An Indian Commit
tee will atte1.d to the harvesting.
Will the official assent to this
proclaimation of competency? And
if he does, will he accept the stu
alton as a proof that the farmer
can manage his own affairs on
other lines9

Indian Office Scored


to the President, set forth some
very pertinent things upon the
foibles and negligences Of the In
dian Office. The inclusion of q
criticism If the office in a letter
inspired by the consumption of
Indians for military purposes was
necessary to q we'll rounded argu
meut upon situations that effect
the Indians of the entire country.
1t will be observed that Mr..
Ba||inger has his own opinion of
a citizen who would shirk his
duty, and this private opinion the
editor of THE ToMAHAwK shares.
Mr.. Ballinger has given the Presi.
dent to>understand that an absurd.
ity exists by reason of the contra
dictions between laws and inter
probation Of laws.
He does indeed disclose the very
prevailing sentiment among the
young men who have been drafted
ioto the service, for they cannot
see how they can be citizens under
certain conditions, and denied at
tributes under other conditions. "
There is a~mental confusion which
prompts the young man whose
number has been drawn to ex.
claim in the language of a certain
congressman of past days, "Where
am l ut"
Mr.. Ballinger in a communica-
ton to the editor CT The ToMA-
HAWK and which was published in
the same issue containing bis letter
to the President, and the reply of
the Presidents secretary, claims
that all Ch,ppewas of Minneso:
are tri5M Indians, and following
the War Departments ruling up
on tribal Indians are exempt from
military service. Every young
man then if of military age has
right to claim exemption if he so
choses. and is no more to lie
blamed for so doing than the real
citizen who claims exemption for
any allowable cause. TIE IONA
HAWK presumes that the filings
will be subjected to rigid examin.
alton, and this is no more than
right.
Mr.. Ballirger's contention may
stapd and it may not, but which
ever way the question may be de-
termined, a great uncertainty will
have been settled through the ex
traordinary history at the present
time of the entire world.
An extraordinary question has
arisen affecting the North Ameri-
can Indian, from the political
history of foreign people. Isn't it
strange that the assassination ofan
Austrian crown prince should lead
up to a clear decision of the politi-
cal status of the Chippewa Indians
of Minnesota.
And if it should come about that
Mr.. Ballinger's legal opinion be
faulted, then there will follow
sweeping reforms in the civil
management of the affairs of the
Minnesota Chippewas.
1t is just as we'll that the ques
has been raised, for or against,
the Chippewas at large will benefit

fair play for everyone, An i'm
partial administration unafraid of
political jockeying should see: that
every unfit official, agent or en-
ployee is removed from the, ser.
vice. FIX slave drivers, men with
criminal records who have shown
no marked inclination to reform,
men who have failed, or have been
connected with crooked business
deals, Ill should be discharged.
Inefficient agents should not be
tolerated. A man who lacks the
elements of gentleman's makeup
should not be permitted to hold in
his power bald of people and to
become their agent for civillza-
ton and education" In this social
task where human sou|s are at
hazard, where lives are made or
married, the unfit government en-
pIoyee should be marked for
dismissal. To retain such men or
women is wrong. BY their plo-
family, disrespect, brutal actions,
immortality and actual crookedness
the Indians conceive a contempt
for the Department that retains
them. The Indians have to suffer
and pay for these unfit employees
and from them the Indians con
ceive what "civilization'' is. 1t is
bad business on the part of the
Nation to place evil men in Offices
of trust, especially where human
lives are placed in their hands.
There are many unsettled claims
that the Indians have requested be
considered. Long and patiently
have they waited for hearings and
at great cost of time and money
they have worked upon the cases.
Very slowly they are passed INTO
official channels. The Unlte3
States ought to afford, and can
afford to settle these claims once
and for all time. This would be 4
sure demonstration of the Govern
ment's sincerity and mean a great
uplift to the spirit of the Indian
people.
The Nation must clean up these
affairs. A sympathetic, loyal set
of men alone, land there are many
now, can make an administration
successful. Let us have all the
men and women in the Indian SER
vice persons of this quality, then
with clean, up-to-date laws an In.
dian people satisfied with the
speedily obtained justice given by
the Government, the so-called
problem will gradually dissolve. y

''Changes impending in the
policy of the Indian Ofice'' has too
much of a specious sound.
As Doctor Eastman said last
winter in reply to Secretary Lanes
word painting, I'VE have heard
these things many times before. y
Let the great change be made by
Congress by speedily passing the
Indian Commission Bill.
This bill passed and put into
operation will please the Indians
everywhere.

Fox Farming.

Silver foxes a few years ago
brought as high as $4,000 pair
in the open market. The enor
nous prices obtaind at that time
were due largely to speculative
operations, according to a new
publication Of the United States
Department of Agriculture, and
ranch-bred silver foxes ha, e
recently been advertised for sale
from $500 to $1,000 a pair.
With a comparativly large num-
ber of silver foxes in domes-
tication, with a clearer under
standing of their successful
management, and with a return
of moderate prices for breeders,
a steady, healthy, and general
development of silver fox farm
ing is predicted, How and where
fox farming may be undrtaken
with the promise of any degree
of success is fully discussed in
the publication mentioned, Farm
