RURAL SCHOOLS WIN SCALES

culosIs Association.
To the Waterloo school at Miffiin
goes the honor of winning the platform
scales awarded by the Wisconsin Anti
Tuberculosis Association for the largest
per capita sale of Red Cross Christmas
seals during December by any rural
school in Iowa county. Miss Alice
Burke is the teacher of the prize winn
ing school, The scale must be won by
the same school three years in success
sion to become its permanent property,
competition for it being limited to un-
graded rural schools within the county.
In addition to awarding scale to the
rural school making the highest per cap )
ita sale of seals in each county OF the
state, the state accociation is also Civ
ing scales to the five state graded
schools making the highest per capita
sales in the state.
The possession of scales by rural
schools will, it is believed, serve as q
big stimulus to constructive health
work. The Importance of weighing and

index of their general physical condi

A man can never do anything at
variance with his nature. He carries

particular occasion we must endure
the legitimate conclusion that we
carry a few grains of folly to our
ounce Of wisdom.-George Eliot.

CUSTER SUIT IS
BEGUN IN FAVOR
Of SOME INDIANS
Test Case By Government
Against Spanish meri-
cans Indirectly Involves
Thousands of Tracts.

Especial Correspondence to The Journai)
Santa Fe, Sept. 2S.-One of the
first of the suits started by the
United States attofneys for the
Pueblo Indians to eject Spanish
Americans from the lands Which
they have held for generations is
being heard before Federal Judge
Colin Neblett today. 1t is the case
of the pueblo of Sandia against
Pedro C. Garcia. Judge Richard II.
Hanna, present attorney for the
Pueblo Indians, is concerned in the
case, but is busy with his campaign.
In his stead. Summers Burkhart Is
appearing for the government,
while Rodey and Rodey are special
attorneys for the pueblo. A. b..
Stroup is representing the defend
ant.
1t is the contention of counsel for
the plaintiff that the Indians did
not have the power to ALLEVIATE their
lands. The original contract under
which the case arose was filed in
1872. BY it, the pueblo hired a
Spanish American to serve as their
attorney and agreed to give him
certain lands, is claimed. These
lands have been used and added to
until now the defendant is holding
$500 acres on the grant of $4,000
acres. 1t is the claim of the gov
eminent that such land is Illegally
held.
The action in reality involves
from 1000 to 5000 similar tracts
in the state which have been held
by Spanish Americans for genera
lions and have been handed down
by will through lineal descendants.
In the northern counties, there are
countless cases sure to arise II
similar suits are brought in behalf
of the Indians.

Mr.. McMillen's complaint was
that dirt was being removed from

grade, and that this made it i'm
possible for him to have an en-
trance to his lands along the
route. He offered to move his
fence back and allow the engi-

his land, thus keeping the ground

u. S. WOULDN'T HA We TO
JOIN IN SLIBJUCATYO OF
IRISH UNDER THE LEAGUE
al THE AssoCIATED PREssl

Washington. Sept, 2S.-The first
public document in the present
presidential campaign to be issued
at the White House was made
public today. 1t dealt with the
league Of nations and was in the
form of letter to f. M. Swartz,
of Los Angeles, written by Seere-
tary Tumulty at President Wilson's
direction.
The White House letter was in
reply to one to the president in
which Mr.. Swartz had declared the
forces supporting the republican
ticket were contending that if ar
ticle ten of the league covenant
We're ratified the United Safe
would be bound to support Eng
land in holding Ireland under sub
lection"
The letter to Mr.. Swartz follows:
In reply to your letter of the
goth of September, l beg to say
that the identical questions con-
tanned in your letter. with reference
to article ten and the right of self
determination, found in the cove
nant of the league of nations were
placed before the president while
he was on his western trip last
year and fully answered by him.
The president directs me to call
your attention to the following
questions and answers given by
him to the press at that time which
| think satisfactorily answer your
inquiries. The questions and an
swers are as follows:
20. Under the covenant does
the nation obligate itself to assist
! any member of the league in put
I ting down q rebellion of it's sub
jects or conquered peoples?"
"a. 1t does not"
20. Under the covenant car
this nation independently recog-
nize a government whose peoples
seek to achieve or have achieved
their independence from a mem
Der of the league?"
"A. The Independent action OF
the government of the United
States in a matter of this kind is
in no way limited or affected by
the covenant of the league OF
nations"
20. Under the covenant are
those subject nations or peoples
only that are mentioned in the
peace treaty entitled to the right
of determination or does the
league possess the right to accord
similar privilege to other sub
ject nations or people,
"a. 1t was not possible for the
peace conference to act with re-
gard to the self-determination oil
any territories except those which
had belonged to the defeated EN-
pires, but in the covenant of the
| league of nations it has set up for
the first time in article eleven, q
forum to which all claims of self
determination, which are likely to
disturb the peace of the world OF
the good understanding between
nations upon which the peace OF
the world depends can be brought
20. Why was the case of Ire
land not heard at the peace CON
ference? And what is your

opinion on the subject of self-de-
termination of Ireland?"
"A. The case of Ireland was
not heard at the peace conference
because the peace conference had
no jurisdiction over any question
of that sort which did nos affect
territories which belonged to the
defeated empires. My position on
the subject of self-determination
for ireland is expressed in article
eleven of the covenant in which
may say 1 was particularly inter
ested, because it seemed to me
necessary for the peace and free
dom of the world that a forum
should be created to which all
peoples could bring any matter
which was likely TO affect the
peace and freedom of the world.
