equal justice to all and hinted at an extension of constitutional rights to the people. The Emperor denounced these suggestions as idiotic dreams.
 Five years after his accession to the throne, Nicholas startled all Europe by calling in 1899 the first peace conference at The Hague to discuss the principle of disarma- ment and arbitration.
 By some Nicholas was held large ly responsible for the RussO-Japan- ese war on the ground that he per mitted his favorte to develop the aggressive policy in Manchuria and Korea which aroused Japan to hos tilities.
 The constitutional reforms in Rus sia inaugurated by Nicholas were attributed to the growth of a dem ocratic spirit among the Russian people and to internal dissensons caused by the revelations of off, cial incompetence and dishonesty in the war with Japan. A general strike in Petrograd in September, 1905, gave the Emperor warning of The danger of a revolution and, to prevent this, he issued in October ukase promising a representative assembly and other reforms.
 Election of radical dumas, as the Russian constitutional assembly is known. apparently aroused in Mich olas fears of what might develop from popular government and they were soon prorogued.
 Adoption of q policy of fostering the development of Slav nationalities in the Balkans led Nicholas into a clash with Austria-Hungary and when the German Emperor aligned himself beside Austria "in shining armor," Russian ambitions suffered a check.
 Soon after the beginning of the war the Emperor proclaimed the autonomy of a reunited Poland and in this, as well as in his resistence to German aggression, he was in line with the development of Russian lib sralism.
 Although the influences leading to the revolution of March, 1917, which forced his abdication, were various and some of them obscure. it was evident that the leaders of Russian liberal thought blamed the Emperor for failure to prosecute the war successfully, for continuing the rule of the bureaucrats and for the growth of pro-German Influence at the Russian court which were

Indian Chief Gave Promise
 Not To Fight the White

1 remember how Chief Tendoy would | look down upon me with his kindly eyes, and I can so well remember the kindly expression on his we'll formed face. And I still believe Chief Tendoy the same big-hearted and splendid man that then thought him as a little boy.
 Chief Tendoy was a very able man. He could see far ahead, and he un- derstood the conditions, so he wise ly counseled the Indians to lay aside their guns and keep peace with the whites. I feel proud of you my brothers, to know that you have fulfilled your fathers request and kept the law as he made it.
 U. s. Forced Into War
 The United States has been forced into the most serious war ever known. It was not her wish. It was not her aim to add one inch to her possessions. She was forced to save mankind, all over the world. To save our brothers across the seas and our brothers, the Indians, we are fighting today
 q feel sure that if Chief Tendoy were alive today he would say we must take up arms and assist our brothers in protecting our homes and the homes of all people who live for freedom and independence. We will be true Americans and fight with our brothers.
 We must become educated; we must till the soil; we must raise cattle, sheep and horses; we must progress and broaden and become bigger men. l hope that you will join us in winning liberty for the world, that we may again enjoy the sunshine and rest at night in peace, so that our days may be ones of happiness and joy"

peace-loving, moderate and of be- nevolent intent, disliking hypocrisy or Ostentation, a model husband and tender father, yet it was often as- serted that he ruled Russia in a reactionary spirit, was jealous of authority, aroused to action chiefly over trifies.
 It was the same Autocrat of all the Russias, who called the first great Worlds Peace Conference at 1 The Hague, proclaimed the princi- pie of international disarmament and distributed 20,000,000 acres of land among the Russian peasants who also refused to limit the au- tocratic power of the Emperor when appealed to by representatives of the Russian people, who suppressed the nationality of the Poles and de- nied liberty to the Films. It was he who granted constitutional re- forms for Russia and then became party to limitation of the consti- tutional rights of the representatives of the people. When Russia drew her sword to halt the progress of German aggression he failed to prosecute the war with energy and is said to have preferred a German victory to liberal control of the Russian government.
 The usual explanation of these contradictions between his charac- teristics and his policies was that Nicholas was of benevolent disposi- tiOn but weak in will, easily sway ed by the reactionary forces.
 The Empress, it was said once caricatured him as a bald-headed infant, tied to a high chair, sur rounded by a crowd of grand dukes and duchesses each of whom trie i to feed him in a different way with the result that the infant was dis tracted and in tears.
 Nicholas, son and successor of Elm peror Alexander III. was born in St. Petersburg May IS, 1868, was educated under the direction of Con stantine Pobedonostseff. procurator general of the Holy Synod and re- ceived military training but had no personal tastes for soldering. Be- fore his accession to the throne, he was sent on tour of Greece, Egypt. India and Japan, where he narrow ly escaped assassination by a Jap anese fanatic.
 He succeeded to the throne on November l. 1894, at the death of his father and within a few weeks thereafter married Princess Alex

Nicholas Romanoff, former Czar Nicholas II, of Russia, the story of whose execution seems to be gener- ally accepted as true, had just turned fifty years of age.
 Lofty ideals rarely attained, ap- parent good intentions seldom trans lated into action, and enlightened and progressive thought that found expression more often in reaction and oppressive acts than in reforms, made the character and career of Nicholas Romanoff, deposed Emper- or of Russia, a strange comminSllng of contradictions and inconsistent cies.

Chief Tendoy, Big Mountain" and great leader of the Indians and friend of the whites. lay on his death bed, he called his two sons, Joe and George to his side. Upon Joe he conferred powers and author ity to rule and guide the future des- tinies of the tribe. Both agreed to father-to make no war upon the whites. The two sons, in the pres ence of him who was about to jour ney to the Happy Hunting Ground, vowed to keep the hatcher buried and to never take up the gun or toma- hawk against any white man.
 And now Chief Joe Tendoy is i'll strange predicament. The big white father" at Washington has asked the young men of Chief Joes tribe to shoulder guns and fight against strange white foe across the seas. Chief Joe promised his father never to fight the whites. and the Germans are white, in color at least.
 In Strange Predicament
 Years ago, w. c. Orton of this city lived in Virginia City, and there he became acquainted with Joe Ten doy, son of the Indian who was then Great Chief Tendoy." To Ornton, Chief Joseph has written the following letter, which is in reality council statement:
 Fort Hall, Ida, June ,, 1918. l will say word today, the fifth day of June, I am the son of Chief Tendoy, and I know this is the day for registration of young men.
 q am feeling bad because of this. The sun rises in the morning. but it doesn't shine. It goes beyond the skies knowing that my heart is sad. I do not sleep well or eat we'll because of this. I think you feel just the same.
 My father, Chief Tendoy, took care of me good, and in that time the sun was shining. Good! feel good go to bed good. l eat and do my work well.
 Fathers Word Unbroken
 Today my fathers word is not broken. His law remains the same Tendoy is big mountain. A long time ago when they (the Indians) were doing bad things, he told them to be peaceful. He told them, Put you guns away
 They did what he told them, and that was right.
 He is the owner of this land, also rocks. timber and waters, and his food is the buffalo, elk and moose. These animals are not branded, for they belonged to him, my father.
 They are gone today. Rich peo- pie dwell on our hunting grounds and cities like Bannack, Dillon. Sal mon Gdaho' have risen. But the Tendoy law has never changed.
 This war is no good. My father say: Put your guns away and his word has been law.
 Respectfully, Chief Joe Tendoy, and George w. Tendoy, Fort Hall, Blackfoot, Idaho"
 Orton Explains War
 In reply, Orton has written the following:
 "I am not real sure that I under stand your letter, and if I do inter- pret it correctly, you are opposed to the war in which we are now en- gagged for the reason that you feel that it would be against your fath- CTS wishes that you take up arms; that he pledged peace, and you do not wish to break his law.
 You speak of the vast lands, tim Der, water, buffalo, elk. moose and other wild animals which originally belonged to the Indians, which have now been absorbed by the white men in the course of civilization. Some forty-five years ago when l was little boy in Virginia City,

It is still urged that the strictest economy be used in the consuming of sugar for domestic purposes. Three pounds a person, month, is the maximum amount that should be used by a family.

LAWLESS
 TREATMENT OF DISORDERLY SUSPECTS

The State councils section of the Council of National Defense has issued the following:
 To the Several State Councils of De. fense:
 In the past few months in many parts of the country there has been a tendency toward lawless treatment of those suspected of disloyalty How ever patriotic may have been the mo tives which prompted these outbursts their effect is -deplorable. They are blots upon the war record of a nation which has declared itself to be fight ing for universal reign of law; they furnish ammunition to those makers of enemy propaganda who are trying to make the world believe that the en- emies of Germany, too. are capable of atrocities; and frequently by rousing anger and fear. they tend to undo the work which the Councils of Defense through their educational campaigns. their Americanization work. and their community organization have done and are successfully doing to unite the Ma tion in the fellowship of war work.
 lnvokes Aid of Councils.
 The only way to prevent such un- American occurrences is by setting against them the full weight of pub lie opinion. The Council of National Defense, therefore calls upon the State councils of defense and their country and local councils. as the leaders of the organized public opinion of the country, to bring home to the isolated communities which tolerate such dis orders the fact that whatever their purposes in effect they embarass the, Government and weaken the fighting power of the country. The Council of National Defense looks to each State council of defense to see to it that these disorders do not occur in it's State, but that sedition is henceforth stamped out by lawful means and by lawful means only; and that differen- ces and disputes are adjusted. not by voluntary or selfconstituted commit. tees. but by official authorities.
 This task calls for leadership and action. The Council of National De- fense makes this request in the full confidence that each State council will assume the responsibility for keeping the fair record of it's own State clean from this time forward.
 Very truly yours,
 ARTHUR H. FEMING,
 Chief of Section

A native reindeer herder named Margus recently killed brown bear weighing a half ton with a P high power rife. The native was roam ing the hills in the vicinity of Salmon Lake in the Nome district and ran across bruin. A lucky shot tumbled him over, and the native is greatly elated. A few nights later he saw another large bear in the same To- cality, but having only three cartrid- ges for his small gun and believing discretion the better part of valor allowed bruin to live. He came to town recently, says the Nome Mug get and laid in large large stock of ammunition. He reports bears num- erous in the vicinity of the reindeer herds.
