Muskogee, Okla.-In the sale Of

Indian history see the final wind

so called Clapp Act of 1906, the
Government became divested of all
authority over estates of adult
mixed blood Chippewas of White
Earth, regardless of the date of
the death of the allottee, for the
Clapp Act by its terms removed

proceedings already had by said
probate courts wherelndian wills
have been established and allowed
such proceedings when regular,
are to stand and the titles obtained
therefrom become valid,
The question of the jurisdiction
over such matters has now been
finally settled by the Indian Blu

titles to lands through proceedings
and decree of the probate court in
cases of adult mixed blood estates
need have no further apprehension
that the Indian Office will attempt
to set aside such proceedings, or
attempt to assume any Jurisdiction

Bureaus in the Making
EDITOR. The TOMAHAwK:

Editor, The ToMAHAwK: -"
Bureaus in the Makipg'' is the
title of an interesting editorial in =
comparatively recent issue of the
New Republic. ~. - ~. o..
This periodical is one extensive.
" read BY men Of thought. and
looked upon as an authority upon
matters of political and social
economy, and upon all phases Of
academic discussion, and practical
entities.
In q less learned way men of
certain desires =, have criticized
bureaus Is they are, and in their
tendencies.
Speaking generally, is it not at
least partially true as the New Re-
public believes, that bureaucratism
is system that has its origin in
the general public Incidence and
ignorance about the details of
politics and in so far is doubtless
its own creation. -
It must be conceded that initalIy.
departments contain within them
selves concentration of powers
granted by constitutions, or in 10
herencies.
The Constitution of the United
States is a notable example OF the
first mentioned sources in the pre-
ceeding lines, but we must not
forget that the Constitution has
limiting clauses, therefore it Is
apparent that the trainers intended
| to manifest the idea that liberalism
shoulo have its rights guaranteed
against autocratic tendencies.
1t seems to be in governments
as in individuals that there is an
! inclination towards egoism.
One Of the Bourbon Kings OF
France once said, THE State, it is

In the executive branches of our
government there has always ben
more or less tendency towards
this Bourbonistic frame of mind
but happily restrained somewhat
by the vicisitudes of politics, US
ing this term in q partizan sense.
But somehow the restraind has
not had effect in the Indian Bureau
of the Interior Department.
Administrations have hardly
changed in character though party
changes have disturbed the in
diyiduals who have occupied the

obvious reason is that at the be-
ginning the Indian had no vote,
therefore his status was regarded
only from the angles of subjuga
ltion, and, in = perhaps well-mean
ing sense of paternalism.

No Jurisdiction in the
Secretary to Determine
Heirs Of Adult Mixed
Blood A||ottees,

~ On October 10Th last, the Sec
rotary of the Interior approved
the finding of the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs, that it had no
jurisdiction to determine the beirs
sof adult mixed blood ,allottees OF
the White Earth reservation, thus
affirming previous decision OF
the Solicitor of the Interior De-
partment on the same subject. OF
the date of August 2, 1915. III .
This decision was reached by q
concrete case having been brought
to the Office of the Commissioner
of Indian Affairs, petitioning that
he determine the heirs. The sub
iect involved determining the
heirs of the estate Of Catherine
Fairbanks, who died in the year
1902, being an adult mixed-blood
of this reservation, the allottee
having left q last will made some
time prior to her death III which
she divised her allotment to three
of her children. The other child.
rem who were not. named in the
will, brought the matter before
the Commissioner demanding that
he ascertain the legal heirs, and
disaprove the said will. =
The decision recites certain pro-
ceedings had in the probate court
for Becker county, by which the
will was proven and allowed and a
finding that the devisees named in
said will were the only heirs to the
allotment in question, which de-
cision concludes by saying:
+. 1T appears from the. roll pre-
pared by the Enrolment Commits
sion and approved April 18TH,
1918, by Judge Morris of the
United States District Court, dis
trict of Minnesota, that the allottee
ssid Catherine Fairbanks, was IN
sault mixed-blood. The Depart
) ment has therefore, in consequence
of the Act of June 1, 1906, ia
Stat. L. 53), known as the Clapp
Act, no jurisdiction to determine
the heirs of the allottee to her
allotment. The will of the de.
cedent was inside before the passage

Food Administration.

New food cards have been sent out
to all parts of the county for distribu-
tion through the schools If any per-
son fails to receive one within a few
days a line to the county chairman
will bring one. If the school chill
dren have some difficulty in distribu-
ting the cards, little assistance from
older persons would be appreciated.
The American boys are now bat
tling on the Western front. We
must see that they and our allies do
not lack for food. The food situation
Is much more serious than many sup
pose. Flour and sugar are becoming
alarmingly scarce We should all be
exceedingly careful to save both.
Many people are using potatoes large
ly in making bread. Some have been
able to obtain excellent results with
as high as fifty per cent, of potatoes.
Others use somewhat smaller percen-
tages. Rice, if first cooked, may be
used with -four for making good
bread. Corn meal, cooked as mush,
may also be used freely in all forms,
for there is a surplus on hand. BY
using them, we not only save wheat
but we help our potato producers.
Every body should try to come within
the limit of three pounds of sugar per
person per month. One Heppner
family of eight is using only eleven
pounds per month. One Lexington
family, by using honey, has almost
ceased to use sugar. No frosted ca
kes should be made. No sugar
should ever be found in the bottom of
cup of coffee or tea. The boys
in the training camps in this country
are receiving very small sugar ra-
ton. If you are selfish enough to use
sugar eXtravagantly, your patriotism
is of a question brand.
The spirit of cooperation in food
saving shown by the great majority
of the people is certainly fine. Only
the intensely selfish, the ignorant,
and the pro-Huns are failing to mea-
sure up. War means sacrifice. Let
us prove our right to the title of Am
erican citizens by sacrificing until we
know that we are sacrificing. Let US
