AU10CRACY.

When a temporary power comes
to that conclusion that he is God
Almighty power, and begins 20
misuse and abuse his position to
satisfy his power (as the Kaiser
did), then it becomes intolerent and
a nuisanc9 1t is better that it
should die rather than to exist IT,
mislead and destroy. The Indian
bureau stands in that same light in
relation with the Indian race Des-
politically without consent of the
Indians, the Indian race was forced
into the hands of the military de-
partment and politica! parties, as
prisoners OF war and later to be
used as stool pigeons in the hands
of politics. 1t is shame that
twelve million dollars is blood
money, bled out of the people un-
der the name of Indian appropria-
tions, when the Indians do not
even get smell of it.
This idea of beautifying, en-.
larging and systemaizing Indian
schools, the un-American idea of
segregating, going away from de-
mocracy, and doing for the In
dams what they ought to do for
themselves. 1t requires twelve
millions of dollars to pay the ex.
penses of those connected with the
Indian Bureau who are degrading
and using the Indian in every way
lot beneficial. to the Indians.
Every branch of the Indian Bu-
reau is working might and main to
keep intact the system that deties
the rights of mar. If there is a
system that keeps the Indians
from what is right and just, it is
the Indian Bureau. S
A reservation environment is
everything but elevating. More
vice is introduced than high and
noble virtues. To keep q race
within an Enclosure without the
general current thas makes pro
p.ess and thriftiness is q draw
back and harmful to the Indians.

The Right Kind Of Min
0esota Soldiers
Memorial.

Minnesota plans a state memorial
to its boys who have served in the
great war 1t should have a men,
arial, and it should not stint in
,Duilding it any more than it's boys
have stinted their gift of service
and sacrifice at the call of their
country.
What kind of q memorial! A
committee appointed 10y the gov
ernor to investigate and advise bin
and the Legislature is working on
that question now, and viii! soon
make a report.
The issue lies between a building
that will be purely a memorial,
only something to look at as 4 re
minder Of the military service of
Minnesota's sons, and a building
that will at once be a memorial
and something that, in itself, will
serve the public use, as the men it
commentaries have served.
Can there be more than one
answer to that question: By all
means, the memorial should be a
building not only beautiful to look
upon, and therefore fitted to what
it commentaries, but a building
that will be of large public use
and benefit, that the people may
be reminded of what it seeks tn
remind them not only by its ap.
appearance, but by the service it
will yield to them as long as it
stands.

Soldiers Civil Rights.

The soldier in the Uunited States
service has certain rights which he
and his family should know.
When you get back from the army,
if you find that the court has rem
dered against you, do not worrJ
about it. You still have chance
to I've heard it you apply to the
court ia person or through an at
torney, within ninety days after
your discharge. The court may
stay any judgement rendered
against you or your property. If
payments on a mortgage have been
overdue, the property cannot come
forclosed until three months after
you have been discharged. Your
taxes or assessments may have
become overdue. If your family
tiled a statement of the case, the
property would not be sold for
unpaid taxes. Even if such sale
took place you can redeem the
property by paying fix per cent
interest. This must be done with.
IN six months after the Presidents
proclamation that the war is over.
The Red Cross Home Service will

matters. Debts contracted before
you went into the army are still
due, with interest, and you will.
of course pay them as soon as you
are able to do so. All our gov
ernment guarantees is that your
absence on military service will
not count against you in court. If

memorial to men who have giveE
the noblest service soldiers ever
rendered to mankind.
The memorial should be in the
Twin Cities because they are Gen.
trail and because there are more
people there, of course. And the
plan suggested by the alumni of
the state university is by all odds
the best: to put the building "n
the university campus, and to
make it take the form of a men,
orial auditorium, for the use of
the university and the public The
university needs such a building,
and the state will soon have to
build it anyway. Moreover, placed
there it would be situated so that
rooms in it could be set apart as
headquarters for the various Or
CARNATIONS of veterans OF the
great war that will be formed, AID
as meeting place for them.
All soldiers memorials should
be something that will always be
of public service, because they are
erected to commemorate great
service. In no way, we feel sure,
could Minnesota better meet this
need than by building its soldiers
memorial on the university compus
and by making it building that
will be of the widest possible use
to the soldiers and the public.
The fact that one-sixth of Mime
sota's soldiers in the great war and
e:third of it's officers were men
of the university is an additional
reason for making this decision.-

Free and citizenize them all al
once. Give to each Indian what
belongs to him, and let them go to
sink or swim. This great move
must be made sooner or later, and
"Wassaja" believes the sooner the
better. When the Indians stand
on the brink of freedom and citi'
zenship we hear the worn out
excuses: ''Let US wait until we
can get the status of the Indians.
Do not 60 too fast; we must not
forget Indian treaties. What
about Indian education? The In.
dians have not enough money to
educate their children. Now, Mon
tezuma fad,' don't be too hot
headed and abolish the Indian Blu
reau. We believe that the Indian
Bureau has a duty to perform in
these matters before any agitation
can be made in regard to Indian
freedom and citizenship We be.
lieve in constructive and not a
destructive platform upon which
the Indians may move, have their
being, before abolishing the Indian
Bureau. Radical way Of doing
things is not safe. There are Oh
legations due the Indians from the
United States before we can come
to any just consideration of abel'
lshing the Indian Bureau"
These ideas are nuts TO crack.
A hard nut is hard to crack, but a
false nut is easy.
The above reasons of our good
friends are false nuts.
The status of the Indians is
known, he is a WARD. The ma
chinery of the Indian Bureau
TURNS OUT WARDS AND
NOTHING ELSE, Has Indian
treaties done any good for the In
dians? Not at all. It has been as a
lead around the Indians neck.
The pale faces have broken the
treaties and also the Indians necks.
Far better we're there no Indian
treaties. Treaties held the Indians
to one side and they were not
counted in with the people Of the
country.
Now, let US touch upon the edu
cation of the Indian children.
Higher education will come after
they have finished 1. the public
schools. The public school system
of the United States is the best
system of education in the world.
1t is the cement which unites races
into one common family; it is taat
which has helped to conquer, the
world for peace and brotherly
love. Patriotic is he who upholds
the public school system. The
Indian Bureau is draw. back to
the public schools for the Indian
children. One of the duties of the
Indian schools is to keep the In
dian children from entering the
public schools. You can see their
policy for doing so. Public schools
for the pappooses WOULD MEAN
DEATH TO THE INDIAN
SCHOOLS.
Indian schools were instituted as
make shift for the public schools,
as the Indian reservation were too
remote from civilization. No such
excuse can be made now, for res
ervations and Indian boarding
schools are surrounded in the midst
of public schools. # public
schools had been encouraged for
Indian children by the Government
fifty years ago-in two genera
itions-.his question would not at.
tract any attention at all. The In.
dian children would be coming
and going to the public schools
with the children of all races. The

ToDAY's ANNIVERSARY.

The first electrical railway was built between Berlin and Lichter- felde and was given its inaugural trial thirty-eight years ago today, May 12, 1881. A speed of IS 1-2 miles an hour was attained by this pioneer electrically operated car. and was placed at the service of the public four days later. It was not a commer- ciaI success, however, and electric traction was developed largely on this side of the Atlantic. The first really important trolley system in America was put into operation in Richmond, Va, in 1888, by Frank J. Sprague. The Richmond venture was so suc- cessful that the West End Company of Boston imme ediately began the identification of it's 200 miles of lines, and other municipal transportation companies all over America speedily followed. Today electrical power is also being adopted by railroads in both America and Europe.

An appreciatiVe audience greeted Mrs. Aline Kilmer, widow of the poet patriots, Sergeant Joyce KiImer, at the meeting of the Newman club at St. Augustine's school hall, last night, when she spoke upon the verse writ ten by modern Catholic women She delighted her hearers with readings of the lives of women who have writ ten poetry and read many exquisite poems.
 She noted in her review of mod, ern writers, Miss Louise Imogen- Quincy, Katherine Tynan, Anna John ston McManus and Rosa MulhoIland, whose verse she presented with charm and sympathy. As a fitting tribute Lonely One,' by Alice F'urIong. which she has written to her mother. A number of examples of verse writ ten by Helen Parry Baden, were read and discussed. She spoke of the work of Alice MayneII, who received an overwhelming vote in England re- gently as the poet laureate. Her de- HghtfuI poem, "Shepherdess," is among the finest she has written, and Mrs. KiImer suggested her fine per sonality and success as a motto to all women lovers of literature.
 Mrs. Kilmer read also a few of her own verses. Her book Candles that Burn" has just come off the press and is receiving favorable comment Deborah to her little daughter, and Justice" to her son, were read. The charming poetess is of fine personal city interested in literary studies and interested audience.
 The Newman club is to be congrat- ulated in ther first attempt to bring to the city a woman of high literary ability. In their programs to follow, the members have planned to bring men and women as speakers of the club who will both stimulate and in spire the members. A cordial invi- tation is extended to all women in the city interested in literary studies and lectures to be present at the meetings on Tuesday evenings Rev.

MARTHA BRATTON.

. Martha Bratton was a native of Rowan County, North Carolina. Her husband, William Bratton of South Carolina, was a colonel in the Ameri- can army during the Revolution. While he was engaged with his troops away from home, Mrs. Bratton was often left to defend herself and the stores entrusted to her charge. At one time she blew up the ammunition left in her care, when she saw that otherwise they would fall into the hands of the enemy. At another time she was threatened with instant death by a British soldier if she per sisted in refusing to dtvulge the whereabouts of her husband. She was saved by the intervention of British officer, and repaid her obli- gation by saving him when he was taken prisoner by the American for ces. She entertained him in her house until he was exchanged. Martha Bratton died in 1S16.

WIFE DESERTED
 HIM WHILE HE
 WAS IN FRANCE

That his wife deserted him while he was fighting in France is the ale gation of Major Charles A. Moore, president of the Manning, Maxwell & Moore corporation of New York, who has brought suit for divorce in the superior court here against Annette Sperry Moore of Greenwich.
 Capt Eugene NJ Moore, brother of Major Moore, was quoted in a New York paper as saying that after his brother returned from France he found Mrs. Moore had left their pala- tai Greenwich home and taken the children with her. It was also alleged that Major Moore might ask for a di- vorce on the ground of intolerable cruelty. Counsel for Mrs. Moore said this charge is ridiculous because Ma jor Moore is a former Yale athlete and weighs about 225 pounds while Mrs. Moore weighs about 100. It is expected the wife will contest the suit
 in Nashville, Tenn, and went to live in Greenwich, where they were mem bers of the exclusive cottage colony. It is said that when he went to war Major Moore left his wife 490 shares of Manning, Maxwell & Moore stock, which paid her an income of $40,000 a, year.

FAVORs SHOP COMMITTEES

William Leavitt tStoddard, a former newspaper correspondent and former administrator for the National War Labor Board, gave an interesting talk last night at the community meeting in the United church, on "The Shop Committee---An Experiment in Indus trial Democracy"
 The general plan of the shop com mittee never seemed to take hold un- til the war, he said, and then the War Labor Board kas formed and put into effect the shop committee system, The reason for, the government taking this step he said was because of the necessity for maximum production and the calling together in Washing labor followed
 The system he said was merely get ting together the two classes that heretofore regarded the other as an enemy to be avoided, and that after actual conferences between the classes
 were held, each side admitted that the other was not such a, bad scout after all."
 In closing his address MT. Stoddard said that If we are going to avoid social unrest and turnover we have got to try getting the people together. All classes must be represented and
 their claims must be weighed and evenly balanced. This is a critical moment, this generation has it in it's power to shape the course of the fu- i ture of this country, and industrial
 democracy will interpret America $ traditions and love for the flag
