The Leap Year ball, given here by
the young ladies Of Clearbrook, was
q decided success, young people at
tending from .Bagley, Leonard, Con
wick, Gully and other points. First
round was won by the ladies. Boys,
now if the young men intend to hold
their place it is up to them to do as
we'll or better, or acknowledge COM
plete defeat and surrender without
an effort to defend their former good
name and standing.

Chippewa Indians are fast assum-
ing their fighting stage and will
from now on demand that congress
give them full citizenship and equal
rights with other people in our coun-
try. This means early allotment Of
their holdings, development of their
country, and prosperity to all con-
cerned in place of wards" and
"paupers," as under present condi-
tions. Such leaders among our In
dams on the Red Lake Reservation
in the persons of John G. Morrison,
Jr., o. R. Gravelle, Simon Fairbanks
and Joe Morrison, with many others,
in conjunction with such leaders as
Theo H. Beaulieu and Frank E.
Beaulieu of White Earth, with many
others. It means that the Indian
commission must soon act or place
itself in a bad light with the people
they are supposed to represent. Mr..
Beaulieu says:
I'VE did our part in the war. We
want to stand on our own feet now
and prove that we are just as good
Americans as anybody" A fair and
square assertion.
