The 1920 Minnesota State Fair !; T.:
now history. It was success in
every respect and the finish saw a
nice balance on the profit side Of
the ledger. Naturally the Fair
Beard IS pleased and the taxpaying
PUBLIC thankful that there is not a
deficit, but-there il not a little
criticism and some of the CRITICISM
runs to 81 fool stunt that marked the
opening day when two giant loco
motives were turned loose on each
other and the scrap which result
ed was turned oyer to the tender
mercies sof wreekipf concern.
This display had neither education
al or entertaining value and simply
represented a malicious destruction
Of property. Men are now serv'
ing time in prison for the des-
truction Of property much less in
value than the two locomotives
which were junked. Possibly. old
H. G. L. justified the jump in the
price of admission from so eeats
to Is cents with a similar increase
in the price Of admission to the
grand stand, but those who con-
tributed the extra 25 cents do not
look upon the increase in that
light. The taxpayers of Mime
sofa have been generous to de.
gree in the matter of the State
Fair and are still prepared 10 60
the limit if necessary and the pro-
fteeripg stunt in the case Of adj
mission does not set we'll. Legis'
lative action this winter is not al

There is, considerable difference
of opinion regarding the congress
sional situation in the Seventh Dis
trict, ard Valstad's determination
to again get into the game. In
this neck of the woods the opinion
of the best posted runs to new
man, but it is known that Vol
stead wants to run and will run
and 80 al that can be hoped for is
the best in Republican way. In
two previous elections Volstead
was hard pressed and when his
defeat was announced last June it
did not excite any great surprise.
Considering that he is the author
of an act involving the enforce
ment of the National dry amend
t3ent it would seem emminently
proper, that such dry organiza'
lions as the Apti-saloop League
would rally to his support in a
financial and moral way, but such
was not evident in his primary
fight nor is there any promise OF
support at the Fall ELECTION. The

White Earth Roll is Fl:
na||y Complete.

An application has been made
to the federal court for a final ap-
prevail of the blood status roll Of
the White Earth allottees. The
roll is now completed and on file
at different points on the reserva'
ton, and at the Office of the En-
rollment Commission in Mime
apolis. The status roll will be
presented to the federal court al
Fergus Falls on October 9th fol-
approval.
This is probably the final act ir
long drawn out controversy ovel
White Earth Reservation land
titles. The only trouble with the
roll is that it is about ten years
late. The one defect in the Clapr
act was the failure to provide
blood status roll before any land
was sold. Had this been done
there would not have been a full
blood on the reservation. The
controversy has provided a meal
ticket for many q worn out politl'
cal skate. Some sensational news
paper writer's, and a lot of long
haired men and short haired
women have also been we'll fed up
during the long drawn. out con-
troversy.
The appointment of Robert G.
Bell to the position of special in.
vestigator of the Enrolment Com
mission in charge Of the White
Earth land cases, must have been
a mistake. When he first took up
the matter he seemed to want to
clear things UP and he also recog-
nized the fact that there was some
injustice on the side of the pur'
chaser. He was as different from
the, Observation-Disclosures outfit
as could be imagined. He com.
menced to clear matters up. True
he was handicapped in a great
measure by the department and if
he could have settled matters in
his own way there would have
been a better fel]inE. '.' :
The history Of the so-called
investigation for the past ten years
has been a travesty. But it is his
tory now, and with the final adop'
ton of the roll the curtain is rung
down, and land titles on the White
Earth reservation are as good as
they are anywhere in the land.
On the theory that a lltlgaeeo
title IS the best on earth s.; o,os'
most reservation - Ind t;t1oa ara ~
": Lat kind.
For ten years the development
Of this part of the country hal
been held back; farmers who have
purchased land have been afraid tt
improve it. -,
The reservation has prospereo
in spite of the handicap of meddle'
some government interference and
grating employees. But with all
handicaps removed and the return
to something like normal condi
lions the reservation is going tt
prosper, more and more and be-
come one of the leading agricultur
al districts of the state.

What is An Indian?

Is an lnQlan human De1ug
Hon. Homer P. Snyder and Cato
Sells are human beings. The civil
LIKED people are human beings.
The Indian Service employees are
human beings.
Animals in the geological gard
ems are taken care of by human
beings, because they are not hui
man. The reservations are zoologi'
cal gardens for the Indians. The
Indian Bureau has charge of these
reservations and uses human be-
ings to safeguard and watch over
the Indians as they would the
bears, the lions, the Birds, the
monkeys and other curiosities for
the edi6cation of human beings.
You can make the public believe
that the Indians are not human
beings from one generation to
another by repeating over and
over the suggestiveness that The
Indians are not human beings"
and persistently treating them as
though they were not human.
Teachings in America has given
the public wrong conception on
che most hospitable and friendly
race in the world. The Indian
Bureau is licensed by Congress to.
run the Matchmaking dynassy, to
propagate the criminal microbes
and inject sure death into the In
dian race, abiding closely to that
old saying. 1.-THE only good Indian
is dead one.'' 1t is damnable.
1t is uncomfortable. 1t is the
boosted civilization that is savage.
We should not be judges of one
another, but help to know each
other-heart to heart.
What it is to be an Indian no.
body knows unless he be an In
dian. One thing is certain, he
has never beer taken as human
being or he would have been
treated differently and the Ameri-
can history of the indians would
not be the black pages of injustices.
He was called a savage; wild
creature in the form of human
being: but not a real human being:
endowed with the same faculties
and possessing like bodies as any
other beings that we class as hu'
man beings.
1t is always practical to keep at
a safe distance from a savage '"c'
he creep upon you ar' +.,,o vonr
S'"'p' 1.4.dren who never saw
an Indian, when they see one for
the first time in a circus, they
tremble with fear and shy away
from him for they have been
taught that he would kill children
or carry them off into captivity,
where they would be tortured IN
the most cruel way imaginable to
satisfy their cruel and wicked
natures. TIE shying, trembling
frightened child is told to 90 and
shake hands with the Indian, with
the words, HE won't hurt you.'
The adopted people of America
have no better opinion of the In
dams. In their hearts they are
glad, that Indians are kept On
reservations where they will harm
no one. The reservations are the
best places for the Indians. There
they will be taken care of by the
Government and they can live and
| roam in the same way as their
forefathers used to. l can see
there is no use to educate them. If
you do they will go right back to
their blankets. There is no hope

POLISH ARMIES NOT
 10 PURSUE ADVANCE
BRITISH, FRENCH AND ITALIAN PREMlERS HOLD CON-
 FERENCES.

Washington. - Complete assurance will be given the United States, it was stated in Polish official circles, that Poland's victorious armies will not pursue their advance beyond the nat ural frontiers of the reconstructed re- public. An early communication from Warsaw to this effect was ex- pected by these officials.
 Representations setting forth the views of this government have been made through the legation at Warsaw, the State Department announced re gently, the communication reiterating the stand taken by Secretary Colby in his recent note to the Italian ambas- sador The position of the American government as outlined then was that the allied and associated powers should unite in a declaration favoring the preservation of the integrity of Russia, such declaration to be ac- complished "by the announcement that no transgression by Poland will be permitted"
 The Polish reply, legation officials said, would set at rest any suspicious that Poland was contemplating the prolongation of hostilities into an or fensiye war against Russia. Assur- ances of this nature, it was added, al ready had been given the soviet gov ernment envoys by the Polish peace delegates at Minsk.
 No formal representations have been exchanged with the allies by the United States regarding the possible transition of the Polish operations from a defensive to an offensive character. The American government is under stood to be content with the position as set forth in it's note, and represen- tations made to the Polish govern ment have been only an elaborlzation of the principles enunciated in that document.
 Great Britain, however, through Premier Lloyd George, already has announced her opposition to any trans gression by Poland of Russian terri tory. For the present, it is believed that the British government will rest on the announcements of the British position by Lloyd George in the House of Commons before taking up a possi- ble formal rejoinder to me American note to the Italian um bassador in which the invitation was issued for declaration by the allied. and associat- ed powers of their attitude toward Po- land and Russia.

FARMERS RAISING
 PURE BRED STOCK
ARKANSAS sTocKMEN ARE NOW ABLE TO FURNISH BET
 TER BREEDS.
MANY CLUBS ARE STOCKED
Boys Club Work is Organized in Many Counties With Membership of From Fifty to a Hundred
 Tn County.

Little Rock.-Perhaps there has been no greater factor in building up the pure-bred live stock business in Arkansas, to the extent that Arkansas stockmen are able to supply the de- mand for breeding stock, than the Boys Pig and Calf Clubs, which, indi- rect1y through the county agents, have acquired fine calves and pigs from several prominent breeders of pure- bred stock now scattered here and there in probably every county over the State.
 At Gravette are located breeders of pure-bred Poland and Duroc hogs and Holstein and Shorthorn cattle. From there the county agent of Sevier County stocked fifty pig club boys Faulkner County stocked the entire county with Shorthorns from the Northwest Arkansas Breeders Asso citation, with headquarters at Fayette- vile. Eastern Arkansas has one of the largest Duroc herds in the State, and here and there over the State arc stockmen upon whom the county
  ing for calves and pigs for the club boys-and they are being supplied. The boys club work is organized iA many counties, with membership of from 50 to 200 in county, and wher- ever there is pig or calf club boy Btrted in business there is another farm starting into the pure-bred stock business
 The recent advance movement along this line, as pertains to pigs, in Mi5sis- sippi County, is a good illustration, of the activities now extant throughout Arkansas. The county agent, s. D. Carpenter, assisted by N. 1. Hancock, Instructor in agriculture in the Smith Hughes department at Wilson School, of the town of Wilson, just added an other pig club to the county in the southern part of the county, and % boys immediately became members. The boys did not have to go outside the county to get their pigs. The Duroc breeders in the county fur Tished the bred gifts at nominally low price, taking the boys notes due in one year as part of the purchase price. The banks loaned the boys the balance of the money at the usual rate of interest. This means that 25 more farms have launched into pure-bfed stock, or hog raising, and that 25 more future farmers are going to raise pure bred stock.

U. s. WATCHING GROWING RE- BILLION IN SOUTHERN
 REPUBLICS.
MUCH DIsCONTENT EVIDENT
Strong Factions Oppose Regimes in Power in Honduras, Guatemala
 and Nicaragua--Gautemala Situation Serious.

Washington. = Announcement that the gunboat Sacramento has been or deTed to La Ceiba, Honduras, ready to protect American interests if neces- sary, revealed that officials here have been watching with growing concern developing revolutionary movements in several Central American countries
 While the situation in each republic is local, political unrest in Guatemala as we'll as Honduras is viewed here as serious. It seems to be interwoven in each country with the so-called unionist movement in all Central American republics, said to have had it's origin in Mexico during the presi- dency of Carranza, which contem- plated federation of all Latin-Amer- ican republics.
 Advices from Central American cities have indicated this unrest for several weeks. No comment was made by State Department officials, who said that the Sacramento had bV3n ordered to La Ceiba as precautionary measure to protect Americans and their interests in the event of revolu- tionary outbreaks The vessel was due at her new station today. having sailed from Costa Rican waters.
 A strong opposition party has arisen in Honduras since Gen. Lopez Gutter reg overthrow the government year ago and was elected president. Charges were made then that his cleo tion had been forced by the army in controlling the polls. An agent of the opposing party was in Washington recently to learn the attitude of the United States. He said it would be impossible to avert for many months a revolution against Gutierrez.
 The situation ip Guatemala is said to be almost as serious. The Church party, which controls the government under President Herrera, faces a pow erful opposition in the Liberal party. At the time of the overthrow of Es- trada Cabrera arms and munitions were secretly distributed among the peons and workmen, and are still in their hands.

POLES PRESSING
 PURSUIT OF REDS
BLOSHEVIKl APPEAL TO CAPT. TAI FOR MUNITIONS AND
 SUPPLIES.

Warsaw. = The Bolsheyik armies northwest of Warsaw, between the Vistula and Prussia, are sending out wireless appeals for help. Whether these troops realize that the Polish northern drive threatens their com munications is uncertain from the in- tercepted messages, which repeated ly have asked Bolshevik headquar- ters for ammunition and supplies.
 The Bolshevik wireless apparently is not functioning properly, as head quarters repeatedly have requested information concerning the location of these troops, the rear of which is endangered by the Polish advances.
 The vanguard of this Red army has reached points about 100 kilometers south of Danzig, in what is known as the corridor.
 It is not believed here that the re- cent Polish-Russian military suc- cesses will materially change the program of the Polish delegation at present treating with the BoIsheviki in Minsk. The newspapers express In belief that the Polish peace terms remain as follows:
 First, that Poland will claim only the territories inhabited by a major ity of Polish and Catholic population. The soviet government does not cor test this point.
 Second, Poland will claim for the peoples once forming a part of an cient Poland the right freely to de- termine their lot.
 Third, the declaration of the soviet government on these points, which often has been repeated but never realized, must be guaranteed by acts.
 The allied military observers con. slider that the Poles already hay won victory in their present offen- sive, but they say that the danger has not passed entirely by any means. The Poles have advanced rapidly at various points where the Reds have retreated. Sometimes the Poles are out of contact with the enemy. In some sectors, notably northwest of Warsaw, the BolsheViki are reported to be showing more of an inclination to fight

 In various parts of the country. particularly between the Vistula and Prussia, where the Bolsheyiki have been cut off from their eommunica. tions, there are organized hunting par ties consisting of the members of hunting clubs and others, who beat the woods in search of Reds the same as for deed and wild boar
 General Pilsudsh has issued an ap- peal to the peasants to aid the army, and urges them to make prisoners in all cases and turn them over to the soldiers. The military authorities say that since the Polish offensive began more than 50,000 prisoners have been taken.
