die hard but it will exist forever if
the money and property of the In
dians are given to them>to control
and dispense. The Indians would
have been better off if there we're
no such thing as All Indian Bureau
fifty years ago.
All the Indians must realize
they are men and not unlike other
Gods creatures that have brain,
soul anc body. At the Council
you Indians must fire up the noble
character that is within each one
of you, and know what is right
aud wrong in your affairs. Re-
member no one can do your busi-
ness as we'll as you can for your.
selves. Every Indian ought to be
ashamed to stand up and say, II
am incompetent to take care of
myself and therefore, l want the
Indian Bureau to do it for me-"
Have none of that at your council
fire, but say, Il will no longer
have the Indian Bureau take care
of me, as a child, but will show
the world l am a man and can
look after myself"
Sincerely,

The Legal Status Of the
indians. -

The phrase, -''The legal status
of the Indians has been used so
much of late that it would seem
that it's precise meaning would be-
gin to dawn. AS matter OF TACT
even within the Congress itself,
the full significance of the neces-
sity of determining the legal status
of the various divisions of the In.
dians is not realized. One Senator
in writing the Editor says that tue
Indian Department knows the
legal status of every Indian tribe.
But this is not enough if it were
so. ~".@ = $751;.
Let it be again asserted that
there can be no real advance in the
Indian problem until there is a de
termination of status and the es'
Establishment of series of uniform
s.aaes leading to full citizenship.
why should the Dakota Indians,
but / generation ago regarded as
hostiles, be seeking citizenship
nov nos and achieving It now, while
the New York Indians (who have
had ! full century of contact with
civilization in. the east), are not
seeking citizenship, but are avoid

why, when a bill for comforting

Tribes and the New York 1ndiansg
Any citizenship bill that is not
correctly drawn with full under
standing of the necessary grades
of Intelligence and competency re-,
quired to meet all the responsible
tiles of citizenship will not be q
bill of rights but an act of errors.
Citizenship involves response
bilities of the most serious kind.
In this age we see that in a Demo-
cracy the individual citizen is a
co-partner in determining the
welfare of not onl y his country
but of the world. If citizenship
involves responsibility it also in
wolves the means of satisfying that
responsibility. There may be
certain classes that are only able
to bear certain responsibilities and
are immune or relieved from
others. These are then only par
tial citizens. Some Indians are
partial citizens. Some Indians
who are amply able are not citi-
zens. Some Indians who are i'll
fitted for citizenship presumably
have it. To bring about an equit
able balance there must be > de-
termination of status based upon
intelligence and competency.
In many cases there are barriers
to the establishment of uniformity.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
An Admirable Selection
ditor Of the Telegraph:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
The proposed appointment of
Lewis S. Sadler of Carlisle as State
Highway Commissioner under Gov
ernor Sproul cannot be improved
upon. The writer has known Mr..
Sadler since he was a boy. Cover
nor Sproul can make no better
choice for this office. Mr.. Sadler is
a lawyer by profession, but is essen
TALLY a businessman; just the type
needed at the head of this most
important department of the state
government. This department, ever
since it's establishment, has been
more or less involved in factional
what of handicap. While Mr.. Sad
Ter is a stalwart Republican, he is
too big a man to permit a depart
ment of which he is the head to be
made the football for politicians.
He would conduct the department
as he would any other legitimate
business enterprise. While his ac-
ceptance would involve a consider
able sacrifice of time and leisure,
he has such a high sense of civic
duty that he might be induced to
make a personal sacrifice. The
Governor-elect is to be congratu-
lated on his sagacity in designating
for this highly important office the
high type of businessman and ad-
ministrator which Mr.. Sadler's
friends know that he really is.

MAN ACCUSED OF
MURDER INSISTS
SHELDON" SLEW
Michigan Insurance Man Still
Clings to Story Other Man
Used His Name
Rv Associated Press

Muskegon, Mich, Dec. 17.-Three
mysterious figures injected into the
case of Milo H. Piper, insurance man
accused of having killed Miss Frieda
Weichman, Chicago bookkeeper,
were being sought by the local po-
lice to-day. According to Piper, who
was brought here from Hamilton,
Ontario, to face the murder charge,
any of these three persons, whom he
named as Jack Goldberg" John
Sheldon" and Edward Benton" can
substantiate his story that Sheldon
used the name of IN. II. Piper" in
marrying Miss Weichman at Rensse-
laer, Ind, in March, 1916.
According to Prosecuting Attorney
Brock, Piper yesterday told him that
several months after Miss WEIGH
mans marriage to Sheldon" the
latter gave her to him to live with
as his wife. Piper and Miss WEIGH
man, he added, travelled about in an
for some time, registered
in various cities as man and wife.
Benton" Piper said, accompanied
them. He insisted, however, that
he knew nothing of the girls death
or burial in a lonely spot along the
railway tracks between here and
Grand Rapids.

Unfortunate Shot OF Son
Causes Wagaman's Death

Gettysburg, Pa, Dec. 1.-THE
hunting accident in the mountains
above Cashtown on the opening day
of the deer season when Alphonsus
L. Wagaman, of Square Corner, was
shot in the leg by his son, has proved
fatal, lockjaw developing from the
wound. Wagaman and his son
were members of an Independent
party who went to the mountains to
try their luck in the hunt for deer.
Early in the morning of the opening
[ day they shot a deer, but did not
hurt it sufficiently to stop it in its
fight. Believing that the animal had
entered some brush not far away
the party stationed themselves at
different places in the vicinity and
young Wagaman. started out to
round the animal up. While he
was gone the father moved away
from his position and went into the
brush. Not knowing the man had
moved and seeing the stir in the
brush the son thought it was the
deer and fired, the ball going
through his fathers right leg just
below the knee. He was hurried
home where he was tenderly cared
for and was getting along nicly un-
til last Thursday, when tetanus de-
veloped and he rapidly grew worse,
lingering for only a few days. He
was fifty years old and is survived
by his wife and three sons.

League, was elected to the presi-
dency of the league during the re-
cent meeting of the National League
IN New York. Heydler began his
career in the National League as a
substitute umpire in 1894 and was
promoted to the post of regular in
1888. He then branched out as a
baseball writer and in 1902 was in
duced by Harry Pulliam, the presi-
dent OF the league, to accept a po-
sition as his private secretary. Upon
Pulliam's death in 1909, Heydler

acting president since the resigna-
ton of John X. Tener.

Every druggist in this county is
authorized to say to every rheumatic
sufferer in this vicinity that If two
bottles of Allenrhu, the sure con-
qIeror of rheumatism, does not stop
all agony, reduce swollen joints and
do away with even the slightest
twinge of rheumatic pain. he will
gladly return your money without
comment.
Allenrhu has been tried and tested
for years, and really marvellous re-
suits have been accomplished in the
most severe cases where the suffer-

Gus and where the patient was help
less.
Allenrhu relieves at once. Imme-

good work begins. 1t searches out
the uric acid deposits, dissolves the
secretlons and drives rheumatic poi

It's marvellous how quickly it acts.
