A few years ago we were JUSTIFIED

ing of men. Business ability is now
common, but the fighting man is In
demand.
Not since the Crusades, eight cen.
turtles ago, has there been such q
division Of the peoples of the earth
over principle. Not since the cru
sades has there been such feeling
Of admiration for the warrior. War
is more deadly and the stakes are
the greatest. The individual mans
unnamed part is now as glorious as
the famous combats of old feudal
knights. Any man who gets into the
battle line in this war takes more
chance of being killed than did ever
a plumed knight. The 1917 fighter
is quietly facing danger in a way
that would make dashing cavalier
nervous.
The young men who "go across
to put Americas share of service and
sacrifice into the contested battle
lines of Europe will bring back to
this country broad education in
our foreign relations-they will
learn to understand the people of
Europe at first hand and carry back
home a feeling of fraternity and
equality toward foreign friends that
Is bound to break down American
arrogance, and build up the spirit
of brotherhood with Europeans that
we have long lacked. This will be
the educational mission of our men.
Our army must be fresh made and
trained, taken in bulk, and every
man who enters will have his part
in molding the character of the first
large United States army. The OPP
portunities for distinction are
thousandfold to what they would be
in small war. The opportunities
for position in our army were never
yet and will never again be so un-
limited.
War is the business of the day.
The spirit Of battle broods over this
land and makes men restless for &C
ton. Business will be good, but it
does not now offer a man much. The
game is gone from business because
a greater game is on. The gods are
once more mixing human destinies.

There should be full attend
ance of the commissions and each
individual from each reservation
should feel the obligation resting
upon him to secure full attend
ance.
We Chippewas of Minnesota
have a very important case in hand
in the Injunction suit now pending.
and the decision of the court may
have a very important bearing up
on the business lying before the
legislative and claims commissions.
A very close touch should be
maintained by these commissions
with our attorney Webster Balm

competent to carry out bis part of
the work, if we Chippewas will
fully support him in thought and

Fishing in Red Lake has
Been Approved.

w. L. Dickens, superintendent
of the Red Lake Indian agency,
has received a telegram from
Washington stating that the fish
ing matter has been approved on
the condition mentioned in letter
from Mr.. Dickens, with the 'un-
derstandiug Mr.. Dickens super
vises the fishing to conserve the
rights of the Enthusiastically
Pioneer.
We recently called attention to
the fact that the encouragement of
fishing in the lakes upon this res
ervation by the authorities would
be good thing for the Indians
and in line with Mr.. Hoover's food
recommendations.
Mr.. Dickens, the live agent at
Red Lake, it seems got busy long
ago and secured action whereby
the fish of Red lake may be taken
by both Indians and whites.
AS will be seen from the above,
Mr.. Dickens will supervise all
operations.
We have the same industry
potentially upon our reservation,
in lesser degree of course, and
perhaps had our local officials
looked out beyond the Office area,
and originated something, many OF
our reservation families would
have thought it worth while going
to the lakes with a business eye.

saying that can be verified by ex-

a confusion which absentees from

firm Mr.. A. Q. Townley, president
of the Non-Partizan League is a
member, has gone into bankruptcy.
Liabilities are $78,959.72, Assets

point out that Mr.. Townley had

The New Party?

Our Interrogation point, points
to doubt in our mind whether or
not folly will realize itself in the
establishment of q new political
organization.
To what extremes partizans will
go for the purpose of putting q
pet idea to. the front; they will
accept of ''any old" fellow for a
bed mate if the other fellow will
pool issues in order to discomfit
the existing order of things.
1t is the old story of common
hatred, one which showed itself in
the combination Of Phsrisees7 and
Herodians, two extremes joining
for NO other purpose than to sat
isfy a common hatred.
The old parties are not sanity
by any means, and because their
policies have never favored the
doctrines of the radical socialists,
the economic novelty of the single
tax, the moral but fanatical pro-
hibitionist, the cry comes for u
combine of dissimilar aims in or
der to make a physical showing.
There are patriots in the ranks of
prohibitionists, single tax advo-
Gates, and to a man the modern
socialists, but all seem to have lost
their heads when they consent to
an utilization with anarchial social
lists and the Non-Partizan Leagu-
ers who now must be regarded as
a disloyal and seditious organiza-
ton.
It passes understanding that the
elements can effect a respectable
and sane party and build plat
form that can stand test.

they deprive such children of all

The child that is born on the res

the one outside becomes a victim
because his parents listened to the
counsel of the mighty and sought
work away.
Here is curious display of self
contradictions; with one voice
