totally ignored every obligation of
their assumed guardianship over
the Indian, and haveing' had full
sway since time immortal, have
come to the conclusion that they
are responsible to no one for their
actions as such guardian.
Members Of the Legislative
Committee who are now at WASH
ington, are making titanic effort
to have members of Congress be-
come interested. to the end that
they will use their good Offices and
influence in seeing to it that the
Indians will be given a full op.
portunity to appear and be repre-
sented in toe coming investigation.
They are asking only what is fair
and just, and no decent tribunal or
officer would deny such a request.
But if the Indians are not permit
ted to be represented, and this
investigation is conducted as the
Old Game always was, it is certain
that Congress will be advised of
the repetition of the famous farci
cal drama, we'll known as 1.-The
Indian Office White WASH" 1t is
no time to despair, no situation
with right and might in its favor
can forever be ignored, the well
fare of great race of people hangs
in the balance, to permit the past
disgraceful supervision of tho In
dian and his property, spells ruin
and degradation. 1t must not be,
and it WILL not be.

gin within a week, by an inspector
of the Indian Bureau. According-to
the Instructions to-, the inspector
the investigation is to::be conducted
exclusively by the Bureau, and
that the tribal organization or any
attorney will not be permitted to
represent the Indians; that no ex-
animation or cross examination
will be permitted, and that the
findings of the inspector will be
confidential, to be used if fit, only
for the Indian Bureau and not &C
|cessible to the tribal organization
or to any members of the Chippe-
was.
Every Indian knows that an
investigation of this character,
conducted secretly with Star.Cham
Der witnesses, is thoroughly preju-
cicial and ruinous TO tribal in
terest and the welfare of the In
dams, and shameful fraud upon
Congress, as the report of this in
,vestigation will be used by the
Bureau next year in asking for
another enormous appropriation
from tribal funds. There are many
members of this reservation who
know of many short. commings and
shameful practices existing at this
agency. and who if given the OPP
portunity to BE- present and exam
inc witnesses, could easily prove
to any fair-minded investigator
the disgusting and rotten situation
of affairs at this agency. H.,
That autocratic branch of this
free gavernment-the Indian B6r
eau, has violated every principle
of justice and fairness in its deal
ings with the Indians. They have
cast aside the sacred and solemn
treaties and agreements Of this
government with the Indians as

The most ridiculous and most
unjust farcical drama is about &c
be INDUCED in BY the self-anointsd
rulers Of the Indians i'f the United
States the Indian Bureau. When
that autocratic branch of our Gov
eminent: was closely questioned
last winter by Congress, as to the
manner Of the expenditures, from
the funds of the Chlppewas of
Minnesota for the alleged sup
port and civilization" of the Chip
pewa Indians, it was unable to
justify its past record of waste,
negligence, incompetency and
petty graft in its administration of
the affairs of the Chippewas OF
Minnesota. Its past dishonest rec
ord, SO strongly guarded and hid:
den from Congress in the past was
dug up, not by that bureau, but
by the representatives of the In
dams themselves, and it savored
SO strong of criminal waste Of In
dian funds, of total incompetency
and negligence in administration,
that Congress was about to deny
this useless bureau the appropria
lions asked for from tribal funds.
Their only justification for the
enormous appropriation, was that
if it was not obtainable this year,
sit would seriously embarass tie
Bureau. Not until solemn prom
ises were made by the bureau to
members of Congress, particularly
to Senator Frank d. Kellogg, that
the bureau would make a most
thorough investigation with q view
to aboIishing several of the agen-
cies in Minnesota, was the appro..
priation consented to for this year.
The promise of a most thorough
investigation of the several agen-
cies was re-interated in Z letter
written by Asst. Secretary s. G.
Hopkins in which he stated that
such an investigation would be
conducted along the lines suggest
ed BY the Legislative COMMITTEES
of the General Council. The com
mittee requested full, open and
public investigation with the privi-
lege of having the Indians repre-
sented so that all charges made
would be thoroughly gone into.
Contrary to the promises made by
the Bureau regarding the conduct
of such an investigation, word has
been received from Washington,
to the effect that Commissioner
Sells has ordered sn investigation

Seek Restitution for
Seizure Of Lands !
Or. Eastman, Black Spotted Horse, Paul
Grow Eagle, Leaders at Session.

Mitchell, S. D.-Nine tribes of
Sioux, Cheyenne and Arapahoe
Indians held pow-wow at the
Grow Creek reservation, by special
permission from Washington, for
the purpose of deciding what
specific steps shall he taken by their
nation for recovering compensation
from the United States govern
ment for the Black Hills section Of
South Dakota, that was taken from
them without warrant or show OF
Justice and for which they have
never received payment. Their
greatest warriors sat around their
council fires, among them Dr.
Charles Eastman, educator and
author -thas foremost American
Indiap. Some of the Of her leaders
are Black Spotted Horse, Paddy
Miller. Paul Grow Eagle and CIar-
ence Ward.
The story is a we'll known one to
residents of the river counties of
South Dakota and in the vast ter
ritory west of the Missouri river
in the state. As result of the .ag
gression of the whites, and in con
formity with various one sided
treaties Of settlement, the Sioux
we're forced into the Dakotas in
1868, where they were assigned a
reservation which included the
Black Hills. Before the middle of
the next decade, miners and other
adventures had begun an invasion
OF the Black Hills country, where
gold had been discovered by tres
passing prospectors. The Indians
protested to the government, but
were afforded neither redress nor
protection. TIE miners and their
followers continued to pour in;'
collisions between white men and
red men were frequent and finally
white men were shot. The govern
ment was appealed to-. for protec-
ton and sent soldiers to put down
the Indian uprislng.'''
The Sioux at this time were a
strong and warlike tribe and under
the command of able chiefs. With
Sitting Bull, already young war
rior of distinction, at their head,
they resisted. The disorder grew
as the Indians organized, and Cen
eral Custer was placed in charge
of an expedition against the Sioux.
Sitting Bull and his warriors
became fugitives after the death of
Caster. The country was crying
for vengeance and the whole mill
tary power of the United States
was requisitioned to put an end to
the Indian war. Sitting Bull es
capped to Canada and found sane
tuary for his forces there. Time
assusged bitterness and the Sioux
retarned to their own country.
Some of their descendants are now
lighting With the Allies in France,
but their lands have never been
restored-nur have the Indians
ever received any compensation
for them, they allege. Deadwood,

Writing home, Private Jess D. Suffecool. Company M, 'Twenty-third infantry, says that the big gun fire is hard on the nerves. He tells of going over the top without the loss or a man. Private Suffecool was a former skagway boy. He says: '
