"relief and civilization of the
Minnesota Chippewas'' and with
practically nothing in evidence to
show for this outrageous prodigal
usurpatlon of helpless peoples

are tax payers; that these tax
payers children attend the public
schools and that this 80 per cent
are also compelled, as members, of
the Minnesota Chippewas, to. con
tribute each their per capita share
of the big appropriations, annually
assessed against their tribal funds
by the Indian bureau, deriving no
benefits therefrom, makes the
practice and system not only ex-

should be- eliminated without

ton. Then they are busy for
appearance sake.
The reservation system makes
strong men and weak women.
Why? Because the environment is
bad. Indian surroundings in order
to get civilization is q wrong
policy. A few teachers and the
Indian Superintendent can never
overcome the influences of tue
hundreds or thousands of Indians.
1t is out of the question. Such a
rotten way of civilizing the In
dams is demoralizlng and ruinous
to the Indian race. This policy
does not benefit the Indians, but it
does give bread and butter to those
who look after them.

1t is amusing to learn from a
current report that honest" John
H. Hinton is very much perturbed
over some of the coptents OF the
Linnen-Ellis report or so-called
investigation. And just because
the said Linnen dared to tell some
exceedingly truthful things about
the aforesaid ''hopest Johp." A
year or so ago the members Of the
Legislative Committee, General
Council, Minnesota Cbippewas,
submitted arepors Is tie 1hdisn
Office and which embodied, practi-
cally, word for word the statement
contained in the said Linnen-El'is
report, especially noted on pages
465-66-67- 68, at that time the men,
bers of the Committee suggested
that "a competent and efficient
official be provided to conduct the
affairs of the White Earth agency"
etc. It's funny the big amount OF
depraved JOY some sinister minded
people derive from scandalizlng
and disappearing their neigh
bors and fellow men and, on the
other hand, how outrageously
abused they feel when the beautiful
truth concerning their own short
codsmings is recited in print. Yes,
they really get mad all over when
they are forced, through righteous
circumstances, to drain the bitter
drees of their own decoction and
which was intended for such others
as had incurred their mental spite
and prejudice. IT'S then they get
80 very mad and want to swat
somebody in the face and just
because somebody told the honest
truths about 'em.

More than ever we need to appre-
ciate the works Of God as shown in
the material world. A blue sky, flick
cring shadows on the grass, the grace
in the flight of n bird-these things
should give us the sense that God is
still in the world. Let us listen to the
voices of the brook. Let us watch the
waves of the lake. We may or may
not know what is on the farther, un-

Generalization . 1. Of Il
Reservations.

(Taken from "WASSASA, publish
ed by DR.. Carlos Montezuma, at
Chicago, Ill.,
It is human to err and if you do
not have a good environment the
pendulum of human nature will
swing towards the side of the least
resistance. Approaching this
human weakness, the late army
had every soldier doing something
to keep them busy" were the
words that were carefully noted
by those officers who had charge
of the soldiers. Colonization is =
bad ptlicy to make angels. There
must be current coming in and
going out, as in a good ventilated
room, for life worth living for.
An Indian reservation is coloni-
cation, where there has not been a
normal healthy current of environ
ment to develop the man character
of the Indian. No race under
heaven was IN a better condition
to be nodded into greatness than
the Indians at the time when they
we're forced on reservations. He
had the heart and mind of child
that knows 10 guile, but had the
physique of a man to protect, snip
port and aid his fellow creatures.
No better and no more loyal friend
could be found than the Indian
before he was frightened and
forced at the point of bayonets to
into reservation cells. All! the
reservation, 1.-THE Indians Siberia, }
was not the will of the Indians; it
was done by cruel brute force,
equal to that received by the Bel
gians at the hands Of the Germans.
1t was placing the one who had
prioc rights where be cannot act
for himself, 40 that his rights
could be taken from him without
his knowledge. Bandit thieves is
the price of America. Placing
the Indians on a patch of their
land for TO cause or reason and
forcing them to stay there while
his domain was populated from a
few to over one hundred millions
of people and has become the
strongest nation on the globe. 1t
does seem impossible for a pro-
gress to occur around the cell
prison of the Indian and he is re-
trograding more and more to a
depth where his forefathers never
dreamed of.
Before the Indians we're forced
into bondage on reservations, they
we're free men. They did not
know what . lie meant; they did
not steal; they had no knowledge
of intoxication; they did not know
what it was to own anything; they
did not grumble. To the Indian
oil of Gods creatures were broth
ers. Revenge was not in his
heart. He was generous and free
from greed. He was not two

Representatives eliminates appro-
priations from Chippewa Tribal
Funds. -
The above very, very welcome
intelligence was received here on
Sunday morning. 1t is needless
to say thati it was hailed by 80 per
cent of the Chippewa people with
JOY and thanksgiving. Following
so close upon the heels of the ex-
ceedingly delightful information
that the management of White
Earth agency affairs was soon to be
transferred to the hands of compe-
tent auspices it is indeed crafty
ing. IT'S said that 1.-THE mills of
the gods grind slowly but surely. .
And in the two above noted in
Stances the prospects are the
work" will have been beautifully
done. The prospective changes
will undoubtedly bring to the
hesrt and mind Of the progressive
element the spirit of cheering COM
fort and joy such as was expert
enced by the French peasantry
when the iron heel of German op.
preston WAS driven from the
French fatherland.
Concerning the matter of tribal
appropriation the Indian bureau,
Notwithstanding its solemn promise
a year ago, that future *ppropria-
tions would be materially re-
dueed" requested a further appro-
priation for the coming year of
E$160, 0co. ri. en- of the
Legislative Committee, hinnesota
Chippewas, seconded by several
members of the Minnesota delega~
ton entered a vigorous protest
against the Indian bureaus de-
mands. Citing the the fact that
fully two thirds of this vast. sum
was employed principally in the
payment of bureau employees SAL
aries and was of absolutely no
benefit whatever to 80 per cent of
the people interested. 1t now
seems apparent that after mature
consideration the members of the
House of Representatives finally
concluded that the contentious of
the members of the Legislative
Committee we're correct and jpsti
fled in the premises and eliminated
the appropriation mentioned en-
tirely.
From present prospects it is
probable that the Senate will con-
cur in the commendab;e action of
the House. Rumors are to effect
that Indian bureau henchmen are
making strenuous efforts to dis
suade public sentiment from
crediting the representations of
the members of the Legislative
Committee and are endeavoring to
frighten the public with the old
chronic nightmare of Starving
Indians'' which will follow the
elimination of Indian tribal fund
appropriations, etc. There iced
be no apprehension on this score.
The White Earth reservation was
set aside over fifty years ago. And
it was only since the legislation of
1889 that the Chippewas of Mime
sofa first had . tribal fund to their
credit vet in all these years, not
outstanding three years of dis
tress occasioned By the grasshoop

known such a thing as an Indian
pauper" in any of the State or
County poor houses. Verify it is
more probable that some of the
many political paupers" who now
swell the ranks Of the Indian bu-
reau employees are the more to
merit concern when the heretofore
vast appropriations from the tribal
funds shall cease. Within the
