No one knows better than the
American Indian what the evil
affects of bureaucratic control
are. For the past fifty years the
Indian people of this country have
had to contend with the democrat
izing policy and arbitrary methods
of the Indian Bureau. The Gen.
eral Council, Minnesota Chippe-
was, have for the past 1 or 5 years
been making strenuous efforts to
loosenthe Indian Bureaus grip
on the Minnesota Chippewas
and have, to a great extent, met
with success, and it is to be hoped
that the coming year will see the
Minnesota Chippewas forever
emancipated form the demoraliz-
ing influence of the Indian Bureau
and made self-supporting and
self-respecting citizens of this
nation.

The marriage arnulment pro-
ceedings brought in the Supreme
Court involving Jackson Barnette'
Il, a bull blooded Indian and
wealthy, of Henrietta, Okla. and
his wife are to be dropped if the
court accepts the recommendations
filed in that court by Judge A. M.
Jackson of Winfield, referee ap~
pointed by the court.
Judge jackson reports in his
findings that all parties concerned
have agreed to drop the case and
that Barnett and his wife are liv-
ing happily together at Henri
eta, Okla.
Following the elopement and
marriage of Barnett and Mrs.
Anna Laura Lowe, Carl j. Hor-
nett, guardian for Barnett, brought
suit in the Supreme Court for
annulment of the marriage, charg-
ing that the Indian had been vir-
tually kidnapped from his farm,
carried across the Kansas line and
united in marriage without his
consent and that the Indian was
incompetent to decide whether he
desired to be married. -.
Judge Jackson reported to the
court that, following a hearing at
Winfield, Kan. he proposed the
marriage be given a trial and that
Mi. and Mrs. Barnett take a
honeymoon trip" The referee
adds that after this trip Barnett
reported he was content. Barnett

The Indians Heritage
(Coutributed.)

The Great Spirit, who knows
all things and does all things we'll,
in His love for His children, both
man and animal, made laws to
govern the actions of one to the
other; and when He made these
laws He also fixed the price for
the violation of any of them.
To the mighty Mantle He gave
the labor of teaching the laws to
men, and when Mantle had given
them the laws as the Great Spirit
had instructed him he returned
unto bis father, but not without
the promise that when men had
learned all the laws he had given
them he would return and give
them further instructions.
The Indian was among the
people who were given the laws OF
the Great Spirit and he knew the
penalty for violating thu laws, but
he also knew the reward to those
who kept them as they were given.
When the white man came the
Indian received him according to
the laws of the Great Spirit which
he so we'll learned that they be-
came part of his daily life.
Knowing the promise of Mantle
to return again and knowing also
that when he returned he would
return white, or nearly so, they
received the white man as a mes
senger who would tell them when
Mantle would come again. But
as they came to know the white
man as he really was they then
remarked that he was an Indian
who turned pale under the tests
with which the Great Spirit tries
all his children ere He gives them
greater knowledge.
AS the Indian saw what the re-
suit of his mistake in regard to the
white man would be their Wise
Men, who knew the laws, invoked
that part of the law of the Great
Spirit that fit the position of the
Indian.
1t has taken generations of the
Indians and many moons of time
for the law to be fulfilled, but the
time is nearly come when the
Great Spirit will reveal to His
children the wonderful secret. He
has sent His messengers to find
out how many of his children nave
kept His laws as they were given
to them. The messenger has
found that the Red men still have
the laws as they we're given, and
have lived the laws and that they
have received them from their
forefathers from generation to
generation through the teachings
of their Medicine Lodge.

TI[[MAN COUNTY
HITS OIL BOOM

Wichita Falls, Tex. Jan. 24.-There
are now four wells in. Tillman county
in the big pay-the Curtis Mound,
Fisher ha1ey. Sheegog and Diamond.
Operators says that the rush to Till
man county resembles that to Burk-
burnett and Waggoner city in the
early days Of Texas oil boom. Acre
age in the southern part Of Tillman
county is sky high, with prices in
the vicinity OF the wells steadily in
creasing.
During the past two weeks the
Magnolia Petroleum company and
other Of the major concerns of Texas
have crossed the river and secured
acreage in the new field. For a 40
acre lease south OF Grandfield the
Magnolia concern paid $4,000. or
$1,000 an acre. Sicily and associates
have secured some acreage in this
territory
The formation in the Sheegog we'll
resembles that Of the Burkburnett
district, where the highest grade oil
IN the world is being produced.
As yet operators in the Burk burnett
district are not making their money
by the sale Of crude oil, but rather
by selling leases.

II will be q long time before the
people will vote to move the county
seat 10 Mound City. The court house
at Oregon Is In good condition and
will last for many years. These
Mound City boosters are trying to
make the people believe that the
court house Is dilapidated, ready to
fall down, and on these false reports
some voters have said we will go and
investigate for ourselves. They know
the removal of the county capital
would incur an indebtedness Of more
than 100000, resulting in tax
which would be q burden ~ the own
err of an 80 acre farm and others. One
taxi payer told US that he was paying
an enormous tax on his 300-acre farm
the indebtedness of his school dis
trict and the ditch tax, but add the
removal tax and probably the sixty
million road bonds he couldn't boast
Of owning his own land. II is TO the
interest Of the farmers to have his
taxes reduced rather than increased.
Because many in Lincoln signed the
petition Is no reason why Mound City
should be SO jubilant thinking the
whole township is unanimous for her.
Many signed and they told us that
they hadn't the least idea Of voting
for Mornd City. Lincoln, we believe,
