Eventually, principally through
the efforts of Capt. Pratt, who

Battle at White Earth.

From "WASSAJA," published by
DR.. Carlos Montezuma, at Chicago,
I'LL
The greatest battle ever waRed
against the Indian Bureau is being
acted on White Earth Reservation.
Wheel within a wheel is against
the General Council that is trying

plants. 1t is a very bard thing for
the Indian Bureau to allow legal
rights on the part of the Indians.
They still want to rule the Indians
without their knowledge of any,
thing. That has been the way the
Indian Bureau has carried on In
dian affairs for these many years.
The superstition has been toat the
Indian is not capable of transacting
his own affairs. and therefore, the
Indian Bureau must do it for him.
No Indian or tribe has ever come
in their way, to tell them, as the
General Council is doing at White
Earth. ~
1t is question whether the Chip
pewas Of Minnesota or any tribe of
Indians have any rights to the laws
of the country that governs other
people. The Indian Bureau must
consider that this country has

changed with it. They can no long
er treat the Indians as they did in
the past. Even though the Indians
have been handicapped by theruin-
Gus system of the Indian Office,
they must remember, some of the
Indians have grown up to manhood,
and they must cease treating them
as outlawed creatures of non-en-
titles. The Indians must have a
voice in their own affairs. Voicing
the Indian rights, we have come
out in the open to the effect that
the Indian Bureau will be the
greatest Indians foe to fight
against, before the Indian can be
free man, and it is' coming to pass
as we have stated again and again.

tended friends. All they do is to
clinch their fingers before your
eyes and suddenly spring them out
and turn away from you, it means
you are no good" In this par
ticular case Of pretended friend
ship it would mean you are a
hypocrite."
So, at least, the Indian must
fight his own battles alone. The
sooner he realizes this, the better
it will be for him. We used to de-
pend upon the Agents. or the In
spectors, on the Indian Bureau and
on the Washington Father, but
now we must depend upon our
selves.
White Earth Indians are in
position to make the initiative
move. The ''Chip' pappooses have
grown up as men to attend their
own affairs, and are going at it in
a business like manner, by having
attorneys in their behalf. The idea
of the Indian Bureau selecting at
torneys for the Indians, when they
are the interested party in the
case, is illegal. Who ever heard Of
such doings, only those who work
in an underhanded way, to take
advantage of the opposite party.
1t is all wrong and should not be
tolerated. The Indians only want
fair play and it is time that they
should get it.

who would furnish a good and

Attention is invited to the fol-

In accordance with this policy
you are directed to inform the In
dams that any reasonably compe-
tent Indian may be appointed
guardian and after such appoint
ment the funds OF the minors may
be turned over to such Indian.
You may consider this letter as
your authority for such action
If there is any doubt as TO the
competency of an Indian, submit
the case to the Office with report
before finally turning over the
funds. Give the Indians to under
stand that only thuse who are
reasonably competent should ap-
ply for guardianship papers,
IN connection with this matter,
try to make it clear to the Indians
that after they obtain possession
of their childrens' funds that they
will be entirely responsible tor the
support of the children; that there
will be no school money coming to
them each year, and that no min
ors' funds on deposit to fall back
upon for the use of the children in
the case of sickness, etc.
Also call the attention of the

PARIS, July 4.-Alexander F. Keren-
sky, the former Russian Premier, to-
day told The Associated Press that be-
tween November, 1917, when his gov
ernment fell, and May, 1918, he was in
hiding in various cities of Central
Russia. At first he was in Petrograd
and later in Moscow, and did not leave
Moscow until May 25.
The Russian leader said that at all
times he was in contact with political
leaders OF the parties opposed to the
Eolshevik regime.
Surprise was expressed that man
so we'll known as Kerensky with a
price on his head could remain in the
largest cities plotting against the Bol-
sheviki without being arrested. 1t was
sugge sted that the police system in
Russia must be very poor.
"rhe police system is always very
poor in Russia" Kerensky replied He
refused TO say how he had left Russia,
as he might incriminate friends who
had aided him.
Kerensky presents the appearance of
a man who has been long bounded and
is in fear Of his life. He is very nerv-
one approaches him from behind.
"You cannot understand the horror
of our situation," he said. "The shame
CT the peace at Brest-Litovsk has
caused our friends and allies to con-
slider the Russian people as descrter

er than submit to German tyranny"

"Yellow Dog" War Spreads
New York State Mayors Urged
to Prosecute War Critics

The Anti-Yellow Dog movement which
started two months ago. when Henry
Irving Dodge wrote a short story in
which he branded those who decry the
efforts of this country in the war or
otherwise defame America, Americans
or American institutions, is spreading
rapidly throughout the nation. Recent
reports issued by the Anti-Yellow Dog
Society, with headquarters at 730 Sew
cnth Avenue, showed that branch or
carnations had been formed in nearly
every large city in the country.
Yesterday Francis NJ. Hugo, Secre-
tary of State, sent an open letter to the
mayors and chiefs Of police in the state,
urging them to lend active support to
the movement to suppress Yellow Dog
ism. In it he declared the baneful in
fuence of idle gossip and discouraging
stories which, ninety-nine times out Of
a hundred, were untrue, could not be
overes tamated

"There is wider significance to
