What a Superintendent
Can Do. .


The Santee Sioux have little

thought this shame and did all
he could las the faithful guardian
of these Indians) to help them get
rid of it. His advice was that they
should sell their land and put the
money in a certain bank. I
There was Town Site company
organized at Santee. The land
began just over the U. S. agency
line. The directors of this COM
pany were also directors in the
''certain'' bank. At any rate the
plot is quite plain. The land CON-
pany wants to sell town lots; the
bank wants to handle the money.
The Indians have land to sell and,
thus, money to put in the bank
Once their money is in the bank
the land company begins to urge
them to buy town lots. Stories of
immense profits are circulated.
Its investment in the town lots
that makes your money grow"
(They should say ''grow smaller. ~
Then comes the Superintendent.
He advises and even urges his
wards to sell their land. Why? 1t
happens that his wife is director
in the bank.
The result9 The Santee lost large
sums of money, sold large amounts
of land. Superintendent and his
wife made money, so much that the
superirtendent's dismissal or resig-
nation will not harm him financial
ly. The crooked game flourishes
even under the Sells administra-
tion.-American Indian Magazine.

- N.,.. -
During the fall Of 1916, Mr..
Wade Hampton Gibbs, acting in
the capacity of Inspector of the
Indian service, visited several Of
the Minnesota Chippewa Indian
reservations. A short time after
Mr.. Gibbs visit here he resigned
from the service, giving as his
reasons that from feeling of
HopELEssNEss in going after real,
progressive reform through the
heavy, cumbersome machinery Of
the Indian Office, his mission was a
failure"
Among other matters which Mr..
Gibbs report contained were GER
tain items which treated of the
"eyils and abuses existing on the
W hite Earth and Leech Lake
agency SERVICE" etc. His report
was never made public. Efforts
were made by members of the res
ervation, through the medium of
members of Congress, but the In
dian office at first denied that such
a report had oeen submitted, how
ever when faced with Mr.. Gibbs
statement to the contrary, the In
dian Office reluctantly admitted
that such a report had been sub
mitted but that the Office did not
deem it ''advisable'' to make the
report public and that Mr.. Gibbs
investigations concerned the Indian
Office alone. In other words if
there was, atthat time or any other
old time for that matter, some
thing ill-smelling aud rotten in the
management of the White Earth
or Leech Lake Chippewa Indian
agencies it was nobody's burned
business and which concerned the
Indian office alone, Notwithstanding
the fact that the Chippewas we're
paying for the rottenness of TN
busiaesslike methods. z....
Just at this time when Indian
matters are before Congress for
attention and consideration and the
public is more or less waking up
to the deplorab'e conditions exist

tons throughout the country, The

Mr.. Coffey meant to throw a
monkey wrench into the chariot
wheels of the Legislative commit
tee by melting opposition at home.
Mr.. Coffey availed himself of
the opposition enduring for years
in an element with headquarters at

letter was ascertained by commit.
tee from the local council and the
gentlemen of this committee seem
ed to have fully convinced the
Pine Pointers that adherence to
the legislative committee was the
righteous thing to do.
1t is encouraging to see this step
towards a reapproachment, and
may the day be tomorrow when
the past shall have been forgotten,
and Pine Pointers cease TO be a
reproach to the progressives.
The ready action over the Coffey
letter entities them to considers
