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
Pine Point. The contents of the
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,
aud Pine Pointers cease to be q
reproach to the progressives.

letter entities them to considers

What a Superintendent.
Can Do.

The Santee Sioux have a little
land remaining. A superintendent
thought this a 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 certain bank. 2 s
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 COM
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 a director
in the bank. g
The result2 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 dourishes

Among Mr.. Gibbs initial remarks:

in the fulfillment of their manifest
destiny. This proposition is proven
by the undeniable fact that those
Indians who have cut loose from
the government have progressed
far ahead of those who are still in
serfdom as it's wards. :. III
This serfdom is a greater re-
proach 20 this nation than was the
slavery of the negro. The tenure
of the title to his lands, md the
holding of his funds by the govern
ment are sometimes used to coerce
him into compliance with govern
ment requirements. thus sapping
independence and under mining his
character. Therefore, if there be
Ldecadsnce- ia. tho @naa4sh sod the
old Indians thus treated, the gov
ernmeut is responsible and the
government owes support to those
Indians it has ruined, and educa-
ton to their children to keep them
from being ruined also. Its activ-
tiles should stop there. The very
plan of the Indian Office to encour-
age industry among the Indians by
giving a few favored individuals
the use of reimbursable funds with
out interest is an encouragement in
the continuation of unbusinesslike
methods. ~.

During the fall Of 1915, Mr..
Wade Hampton Gibbs, acting IN
the capacity of Inspector of the
Indian service, visited several Of
the Minnesota Chippewa Indian
reser vations. A. short time after
Mr.. Gibbs visit here be resigned
from the service, giving as his
reasons that ''from q feeling of
HopELEssNEss in going after real,
progressive reform through the
heavy, cumbersome machinery Of
the Indian Office, his miss sion was a
failure" - 49,
Among other matters which Mr..
Gibbs report contained we're Ger
tain items which treated Of the
"eyils and abuses existing on the
White 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
report had oeen submitted, how
ever when faced with Mr.. Gibbs
statement to the contrary, the In
dian office reluctantly admitted
thai such 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

agencies it was nobody's burned
L
business and which concerned the
Indian Office alone, notwithstanding
the fact that the Chippewas we're
paying for the rottenness of ''un-
| businesslike methods. !"
l. 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 deplorable conditions exist
ing on many of the Indian reserva-
lions throughout the country, The

THE proud, sensitive, high
strung Indian often feels that hope
for him and his lies not on this
side of the grave.
THE young and middle aged
adult Indians should be given their
land ard money and maze citizens
of America, and citizenship should
be conferred on the minors as fast
as they reach maturity.
IF any squander their heritage,
it will be no mere than our white
citizens do, and usually the school
of adversely alone confers valu-
able civic education. 81"
Turn such Indians loose nov
under some we'll considered plan
and they, humanity and civiliza-
ton, will soon be the gamers. - 4
THE Office at Washington tends
to uaify the Indian problem,
whereas each reservation and tribe
offers a clear, separate and distinct
problem in itself, and the solution
of one oy no means involves the
solution of the other. How may
this government pose as potential
solver of the Philippine problem
when it has failed and il failing
with its own lndiansl
