One of Redwood Falls thrifty and
progressive citizens calls our atten-
ton to the fact that owners of vacant
lots are very neglectful and careless
about cutting the weeds from these
lots. He emphasized his statement
by saying that in his opinion a man
who would neglect to keep his prop
erty In order when all that is re-
quired is the simple use of scythe
is not only lacking as a man of thrift
but is mighty poor citizen. We
agree with him in this opinion and
wish there might be some action tax
en- on the part of these owners to get
these lots in shape before the city is
flooded with the visitors of Fair
Week. The town is certainly very
shaggy in appearance in some sec
tions and this condition should be
corrected. Editor
Efforts are being made to secure
DR.. Charles Eastman, president of the
Society of American Indians to come
to Redwood Falls and give an evening
lecture on his people. DR.. Eastman
is member of the Amherst Uniyer-
sity faculty and is splendidly fitted
for the giving of interesting and in
formative talks on the Indian people.
He will be in Minneapolis October 2
to to attend convention of the
members of his society and it is hoped
that he may be persuaded to come
to Redwood Falls at this time. The
convention at Minneapolis. will be one
full of interest not only to those of
Indian blood, but to all who are in
terested in them. Mrs Gertrude Bon
min, secretary of the society, cites the
purpose of the meeting in the follow
ing statement: eve are the original
Americans and we want to be treated
as such. The governmental guardian
ship over the Indian has resulted in
many abuses. Besides, the Indian in
many cases has come to be creature
without initiative, entirely dependent
upon the will of others. Removal of
governmental supervision is the rene
dy for this condition, in our opinion.
We believe it will make our race the
strong, self-reliant people they once
were. That is the program we want
to work out in Minneapolis and we
hope to have the support of the pub
lic."
