Indian Bureau is Going
in a Wrong Direction
With the Indians.

what the Indians cannot do. 1t Is
strange, anc of truth to say, that
whatever the Indian Bureau has
said that the Indians cannot 40
has turned out that the Indians
could do. The Indian Bureau IS
like unto a vaudeville entertainer.
1t does everything to please the
public, and yet it is all false. The
Indian Bureau can advertise and
blow its horn to the sky. They
have to, in order to cover up their
shaminess of their pretentlous. 1t
falls in with every fad that comes
along and applies it to its Indian
show. The present head of the
indian Department makes a splen-
did ''Uriah Heap of Dickens.
Politically, he is as slippery as an
eel. He knows how to apply him
self in his position, but it Is all
sham. He works for the applause
of the public and for the reward
of his party. He cares no more
about the interest of the Indians
than an ambitious hirellng. He
brushes the Indians in order to
please his masters. If the head
of the Indian Department is !iken
unto P. 7. Barnum or Buffalo
Bill, what can you expect from
those under him?
Using the Indians to hold their
Jobs is the grand aim and object
of the Indian Bureau. TO con-
denim the Indian Bureau would be
to condemn themselves; to say
that the Indian is a man, would be
to condemn themselves; to say,
that the Indians are capable OF
taking care of themselves, would
be to condemn themselves; to say,
let the Indians free, would be TO
condemn themselves; and to say
that the Indians are ready for
citizenship, would be to condemn
themselves. In other words the
Indian Bureau know they are guilty
rf doing what is wrong to the In
dian race, but are not ready to
give W. their jobs. They feel a
little easy because the Government
is back of their wrong doIngS.
The Government rules the Indians
because it is custom. but not Tor
any good reason. Today, itshows
that Indian knowledge Of the In
dian Bureau is very superficial.
This not saying anything against
their knowledge of the SYSTEM.
They know how to run the Indian
Machine smoothly, but take II
from "Wassaja'' they are gong in
the wrong direction to give free
dom and citizenship to the Indian
race.
We Indians who are alive d.
not wish to be used as tools any
longer, and for that season we ask
that the Indian Bureau be abolish
ed for the sake of our freedom and
citizenship. Freedom for the In
dian race is sure to come about
sooner or later, and the time for
the red mans emancipation is
about as ripe as it ever could be
for this great and glorious nation
to lay aside e ell g other matters and
take up the cause of the aboriginal
Americans and give unto them
justice-their freedom. -Wassaja.

Persons suffering from catarrhal deafness. or who are growing hard of hearing and have head noises, will be glad to know that this distressing af- diction can usually be successfully treated at home by an internal medi- cine that in many instances mas effected complete relief after other Urea tments have failed.

 of uncertainty as to the fate of the
 office just as they had settled back comfortably in their chairs, satisfied with the fact that a postmaster had
 been found in the person of Miss Adelia N. Loomis, the office moved to her home, affairs running smoothly and the office to be continued. Along comes a letter to E. M. Howard, car rier of the mail between Bolton rail-
 road station and the post office, say ing that he was not requ red to do the work after Feb. 14. The letter comes like a shower out of clear sky. With MT. Towards letter comes no instructions to the postmaster what to do with outgoing mail nor none of how she is to receive mail. Feb. Is arrives and with it the mail bags at Bolton railroad station, but no one authorized to do the transporting act. Patrons of the office began to think,
 and wonder about all of the mall in :! those bags likely to be of value and 1 for them! Miss Loomis did not wish 1 to see the suffering prolonged so by ] telephoning to Boston, the headquar ! ters of this diviS.on and telegraph | ing to Washington, D. C., she feceiv- ed instructions to take the mail to : and from her office to the station 1 until plans should be perfected, which 1 may be in having the bags sent to i the Andover railroad station and hay i ing the rural carrier bring them to i this office while on his trip through l South Bolton, thus having the mail l brought to this office more cheapIy 1 than to have a man make a special l trip.
