The foregoing summaries speak for
themselves as to the character of the
racing and quality of the horses at the
Mineral Point Fair for 1919. Every
race was hotly contested and the time
made was truly remarkable in view of
the fact that rain had softened the
track on Wednesday and Friday.
There were twenty 2;l3 PAGERS on the
grounds for that 100000 stake and
seventeen were ready TO start. BY CON
sent of the horsemen and the fair of
ficials the race was made into two divi-
sions, the fair society adding 5000 to
the stake, thus insuring 5000 for each
division.
The meeting was successful from
every point of view large crowds, ex-
citing finishes. no accidents, while the
program was carried out without weari-
delays. Mr.. Schwartz officiated as
starting judge and satisfaction with his
service is general.

from the past manifest Indifference
|of the Indian bureau concerning
the contentious of the Chippewas
in the matter of the swamp, over
flow and other equally deserving
Eclaims, especially the ''swamp and
overflow land" claim, the latter
would have become total loss to
the Chippewas.
+ The Indian bureau undoubtedly
realizes that the intripid:ty of
action and the honest contentious
of the members of the Legislative
Committee likewise the benefcient
results so far achieved by the
efforts of said committee not only
spells defeat for further appro-
priations from the Chippewa tribal
funds but likewise sounds tie
knell of doom for its continued
dominance over the affairs of the
Minnesota Chippewas generally
[speaking, hence its frantic efforts
to thwart, defeat and, if possible,
to destroy the General Council.
In its sor5id motives to accom-
plish this dastardly result the In
dian bureau has not besitated to
employ the services of such se:vile
henchmen a. Linnen, Hinton,
James l. Coffey and others of their
ilk who have resorted to tn,
cowardly and Infamous tactics of
striving to fitch the good name and
ravish the honor and manhood of
the members of the Legislative
Committee of the General Council
aud other intelligent and respected
members of the reservation.
Magma est veritas, ct prevalent.
Yes, and truth will prevail not
understanding the fact that it ap-
plies to conditions on an Indian
reservation and all hades cannot
prevail against it.

Hearings, PIP. 5l4-l5). That they
are not tho regular delegation, the
Commissioner we'll knows. That
Morrison is the president of the
General Council and that the dele
CATION appointed by him is the
regular delegation, the Commits
sioner we'll knows, for the Auditor
for the Department and the Comp
troller of the United States have
both so held. By withholding the
accounts approved by Morrison
the Commissioner is preventing
the Auditor and the Comptroller
from receiving and considering
them and ordering their payment.
In this he is depriving the General
Council of the use of the funds
and by representing to the Com
mittee Of the Senate that it is i'm
possible for him to determine
which is the regular delegation he
has prevented the regular dele
gates from being heard and recelv-
ing recognition. In this way the
facts are being concealed.
If an investigation is to be pro-
duct,ve of good the General Coun
Gil must be put in a position where
it can present to the Committee
the facts. They will not be pre-
scented by the Indian Bureau. The
fight is squarely between the In
dian Bureau and the General
Council of which John G. Morri-
son is president. Coffey and his
followers are the willing tools of
the Indian Bureau, and, therefore,
that Bureau will represent them.
The Indian Bureau has ample
funds with which to present their
side of the case. The regular
General Council should be given
sufficient funds to enable it to pre-
sent such facts as it has. For this
reason it is imperatively necessary
that the item in the bill relating to
the General Council should be re-
instated as it passed the House
and the Senate Amendment should
he stricken out.

Miller appeared before the House
Committee blouse Hearings, p.
1922 and made the following state
ment, which every one who knows
Coffey, knows to be true:
Nov, Mr.. Coffey resides in my
district. l nave known him many
years. One day he is praising

The man is plainly crazy. Every
body knows that but the Com.
missioner of Indian Affairs.
Everybody knows it. He has

Indian affairs in Minnesota for

of Indian Affairs and the Indian
Office everything; from traitors
down to common petty thieves"
This man Coffey got a few In
dams together, upon the false as
sumption that the Commissioner
had removed Morrison as Presi
dent of the General Council, and
a bush meeting was held and desig.

endeavoring to recognize these
imposters. At the instance of the

righteous war against the wrongs
and injustice practiced against the
Minnesota Chippewas and which
has tended to deplete their once,
princely heritage to pa'try pit
lance and practically for want of;
efficient and qualified wardenshipI
of their tribal affairs. II
A few years ago the State Of
Minnesota instituted proceedings
to recover the so-called swamp
lands" which we're within the
borders of the several Minnesota5
Chippewa Indian reservations and
finally succeeded in having set
aside, through the Secretary of the
Interiors Office, nearly 1,400, 900
acres of the above class lands, and
Notwithstanding the strenuous pro
tests of the Chippewas to the
contrary, some 100000 acres Of,
these valuable lands were patented
to the State of Minnesota. -.
The Legislative Committee, Gem
Dral Council, Minnesota Chippe-:
was, have .labored hacesseat.E
against this prodigal and unjust
disposition of their kindred's hertz
age, and with the splendid legal
services rendered by Webster
Ballinger, their attorney, finally
succeeded in having the ruling of
the Secretary of the Interior in
the premises reversed, with the
result that the title to these valu-
able lands will again be vested in
the rights of the Minnesota Chip
pewa Indians.
About 100000 acres of these
lands have already been patented
by the Government to the State of
Minnesota and, presumably, the
appraised value thereof will be
RENTED in cash and placed to the
credit of the Chlppewas. About
700, 900 acres or more of these
lands remain undisposed of and
will probably be turned over as
tribal property to the credit of the
Chippewa Indians. At the present
time it is difficult to properly sp-
proximate the value of the land
included and claksed as swamp
and overflow lands'', as much of
these lands. ithas been ascertained,
are covered with a splendid growth
of pine. hardwood and other val
liable timber and.the larger portion
comprise very desirable agricul-
tural lands. Basing an estimate
on the prevailing price of lands
adjoining the so-called swamp
and overflow lands" it is safe to
assume that the greater portion of
the lands recovered will command
a market price ranging from $40
to $25 per'acre. Hence it will be
seen that the actual cash value of
the lands so recovered will, ap-
proximately, amount to $40, 600, 900
or $25, 900, 900 and which will be
added to the credit of the Mime
sofa Chippewa Indians and would
result in \ possible per capita ap
portioDment amounting to about
Sl.6OO for each member thereof.
This is most suspicious achieve
ment for the Cnippewss and is
deserving of great credit for the
members of the Legislative C,m-
mittee, General Council, Minneso-
to Chippewas and the qualified
legal efficiency of their attorney,

CORY are whole series of folders
which when opened from one side
show how Germany paints herself, and
unfolded from the reverse side illus

Opening one of these folders from

confronted with this inscription: Ger

spilled. Let us be brothers working
for peace and for human progress.
Thus speaks fat Germania, crowned
with symbolical olive branch and hug

of an obese female, a dove of peace
perched on her shoulder, while food
and wine fall from the cornucopia she
carries. Her train is borne by a
group Of Boche soldiers waving olive
branches. Open the folder from the
opposite side and you find out what a
German peace would be in reality. The
figure of a brutal German officer, in
spiked helmet, sprawls across the page,
while on the side are toiling men and

grasping the globe with bloody fingers.
BY the time we have reached No. 4
we are quite prepared for the dis
closure that Mr.. Bocheman's real pur-
pose was bolstering up the business of
war, (which is the Prussan national
industry" The five disks are now
opened and a bloody Boche with q
torch in one hand and dagger in the
other leers from the centre, with the
statements: "On August 2, 1914, the
opportunity seemed good for the Ger
man business man to show himself as
he is, and he rushed forward, an incen-
diary and a murderer" Surrounding
him are pictures of the Rheims Cathe-
dral under bombardment, the Lusitania
sinking by the head, and Boche SOL
diers shooting Miss Cavell. Below is
the warming: "All these crimes were
intended to assure to the Boche the
commercial supremacy of the world.
FRENCHMEN. REMEMBER!"
This ingenious bit of propaganda is
probably not intended for the big bust
ness man, but for the smaller merchant
who has bought his wares in the past
from Germany and who, it is desired,
should no longer yield to the lures
of the Boche commercial traveller, with
his cheap and attractive wares, long
credits and other inducements.

For the
Soldier

Special classes of the population are
appealed to in special ways, and of
course the soldier is not forgotten. he
being by all odds the largest and most
potent class.
For him in particular has been pre-
pared card perforated SO that by
revolving disk which is pivoted on
the back Of the card there appear the
answers to eight questions printed on
its face. "What would be the poilu's
answer to these questions?" the card
asks, and below this are printed the
different queries, precisely those that
people are asking, and the answers are
precisely those that the government
would like to have the poilu make. For
instance, revolve the disk on the back
until the figure appears in the
circle. Question 8 is, "Why should
France impose its own conditions Of
peace?" and the answer appearing at
the tip of the poilu's outstretched
fingers is: Because Germany has
strangled Russia and Rumania by her
conditions of peace, and because France
must not suffer the same fate"
Question 2 is: "Why should France
require separations The answer.
which comes to view as the figure ap-
pears, is: because Germany has, with
