CATTLE-This trade has been char
acterized by activity thus far this
week. Big packers and outside buy
ers compete actively for the supply
with the result that general price adj
vance is shown compared with the
fol mer week. The gain however, be-
ing more prominent on strictly good
butcher cattle, these showing an adj
vance of % to 80 per cwt, while the
general market otherwise is 10 to 25c
Higher. The receipts have been mod
crate and trade conditions have been
quite aggressive and environments Of
the trade are much more favorable
than existed week ago at this writ
ing. Beef steers $3.50 to S1S; stock
ers and feeders 81 to S11; light but
cher cattle 81 to SIS; beef cows So to
S12; Gamers and cutters $5.25 to $S;
stock cows and heifers $6.25 to 81; fat
bulls SO to $1,000; sausage bulls So to

HOGS-The hog market has shared
in the market freedom, and has work
ed upwards to a much better level than
existed week ago, best market top
recording SIS against $14.55 last week,
| though there was a time early yester-
day when fat hogs realized $3.50, the
highest phase of the trade in some
time. While the big packers have
| followed the advance it has been a
forced issue with them. Butchers and
other outside buyers gave the market
its real stimulus, they furnishing UNI
usually good outlet for light hogs and
strong weight pigs, these grades COM
lmanding the markets best prices and
the aftermath of the matter has been
that the big fellows have been forced
to follow high rates in order to avoid
being left at the post. The bulk of
tie fat hogs weighing 100 TBS up
wards sold today within the range of
S14.65 to $14.90, and the 100 to $50
| 10 pigs at $14.25 to SLATE. Lighter
pigs 80 to 115 lbs $13.75 to SLABS;
pcewee pigs $40 to $13, with rough
packing hogs at $19.25 to $3.50.
SHEEP.--With the weeks supply
moderate, selling was comparatively
free and general price advance fol-
lowing good competition, fat lambs
recording the weeks high mark at
$1S.75, showing further advance OF
S25 per cwt. compared with last week s
close and noting the highest level OF
price in effect since early last fall.
Fat sheep at So to $40 top showing an
advance of $500 per cwt. with the low
point of last week, placing this end Of
the trade back to the good time Of the
early days of last week.

Indian women are not slaves Il
their husbands.

Indian women are not slaves to
their husbands.
If you deceive a child once, that
child will shy from you; if you
continue your deception that in
nocent child will be afraid and
avoid you on every occasion. On
account of the deception played
upon him he will know you in a
way but not in right light.
Now, take a person who has
taken advantage of another person,
and continues taking these advan.
tages year in and year out. The
policy of this shrewd person is not
to allow the other person to know
what he is doing. In this case
knowing one another is impossible.
This illustrates the relation be-
tween the Indians and the pale
faces. The worst part is that the
same knowledge continues to this
very day.
The foundation of friendship
and knowing one another was
shattered by the one knowing what
value is and the other by being too
honest and sincere-a game Of life
played with loaded dice-a case of

lose." 1t is catching the other both

condition is manifest in a line of
political disinterestness that is
state wide. Even the nation is
not unaffected as is shown by a
mass of forced press stuff which
the educational and newspaper
bureaus of both the leading parties
are sending broadcast IN an effort
to enthuse. The great bulk of the
rank and file simple refuse to be
interested. In Minnesota this
condition is not unknown to the
King Makers and they have wisely
decided to lay off for awhile, fgur-
ing that about Fair Week is the
best time to get busy. Why this
condition in a national year, you
probably ask. Generally it Is
period of pep and the element of
ginger is absent this year. Well.
to speak plainly, the voters of this
day and age have troubles that
strike nearer home and what is
more they are not crazy about
either CT the national standard
bearers. To use a slang word
there is feeling among the rank
and file of both the great parties
that they were ''gyped' in the
selection of the big Feller'' and
they simply do not care what hap
pens. They admit that both Cox
and Harding are probably equal
to the task imposed on them and
undoubtedly they will be satisfied
with either, but, in the meantime,
they are deyoting their attention
and their interest to things closer
to home; the rent gouger for in
stance, the pro6teer in food stutfs
and the high cost of living gener-
ally. Someone is responsible and
they are going to find the goat
before fall.

The Plea Of the Indians
For Freedom.
Written for "All Americana

Written for ''All American.)
Indians have not much to say.
Indian religion is to be silent on
the inevitable, what has been and
what is now. To refer to the past
is like reminding them of the sac
memories of their ancestors, in the
gloom of darkness, among the
CHESTS Of the dead. To be en-
dowed by the Creator with coun-
try and then to losing it. To be
tied hand and foot and placed in a
reservation cell that tightens closer
and closer until the Indian nations
life is crushed out. The saddest
of American history is indeed yet
to be written, if we are to have
true history.
Along the path that leads from
darkness to light the man-'the
n''-as Columbus mistakingly
called him, was found on the
western continent. Indian men
were the owners of America.
They we're here and you came. At
Plymouth Rock was the meeting
and greeting place. The right
hands we're clasped in token Of
friendship and gratitude.
At this period by virtue of the
advantages which time and place
had afforded him, the pale face
arrived at the wayside home of the
Indian, with, perhaps, more ad-
vanced outfit for this journey in
life than that possessed by the In
dian.
In descriptive sense, the In
dams were the children of nature,
they had lived with nature and
nature was everything to their
existence. AS such this Indian
man had no knowledge of what
time meant which is so essential in
civilized life: Property aud mon
ey were words not in his vocabu-
larry: There were no schools, but
nature Twas his teacher. There
was no written law, but he was
governed by the law of bis con-
science. He was not troubled
with poor houses, hospitals, orphan
asylums, prisons, charitable in
asitutions and muItitudeness Or
carnations, and yet, he lived from
day to day without looking for

asperateS me is that the lndlan
Bureau seems to nave another
meaning for it. For the Indian
Bureau to educate the Indians"
means for it to snatch the Indian
children away from their parents,
force them into that cold, un-
friendly and prison like atmos
phere of the government school,
where their food sometimes is bad
enough to nauseate puppy dog,
where their Education" consists,
and solely consists, of some un-
Ineligible chants led by an illit-
crate person who wouldn't stand
any more show of getting posi-
ton in white school than a
skinny COW would have of being
sold for prime beef. Then, after
say three years of this course of
Instruction. the Indian children
are alIowed-allowed (isn't the In

ward with weary heart as to what
would become of him tomorrow.

would become of him tomorrow.
The Indian race was the most
joyful people on the face of the
earth. You hear that INDIANS de-
not laugh" 1t is a mistake.
Among themselves they are chronic
laughers. Most of their time
they are joking one another. The
old women are loaded with funny
stories of folk lores. The play
ground for the pappooses is not
lacking. They amuse themselves
in their innocent games of all des-
Sription that a young mind can
picture, among the rocks, around
the bushes, on the hillside and
run as much as they want without
disturbing anybody. 1t is not
worth while for the Indians to
trouble themselves upon what the
great mystery has ordered.
Indian women are not addicted
to the fashions of Paris. Clubs
and social functions are unknown
by her,. Maid problems do not
affect the Indian household. In
dian women were queens and not
slaves to their husbands. Litera-
ture, art and science are luxuries
and did not interest the Indians in
their primitive stage. The ex-
ponents of the simple life ideals
did not harbor anything but the
very necessities of life. What is
essential to civilized life is not es-
sential to the aborigines.
History tells us that the Indian
woman had the worst end of In
dian life. 1t is not so. The eau.
casian sister car we'll envy her
dusky sister; in that in a wiewam
there is no such thing as a kitchen,
pantry, parlor, dining room or any
other rooms to sweep, dust, etc.;
cooking, bringing water and wood,
the men do as we'll as the women.

That the Volsted act, as far as
it relates to almost absolute pro

That the next congress will at
tempt a modification is without

taken as nearing that the move

not accept this as an argument tor
or Indicating a return OF the
licensed saloon. That institution
is gone az far as present man is
concerned and it will remain a
thing of the past. The profession
al dry to the contrary. the number
of light wine and beer advocates
is growing and if argument Is
wanted it is found in the substan-
tial vote given many candidates
for Office throughout the country
who used the issue as one of their
principle platform planks. Walls

due largely to the act bearing his
name and there is no question as

From An fndian's Point Of View
(Contributed.)

Some reference was made a
while back about the Commissioner
calling himself the FEATHER of all
the Indians'', and after due refec-
ton l can see why it might per-
haps be all right for him to call
himself ''step-father", judging
from the way he tries to make the
Indians step around; and what is
more, from the way he himself
quite frequently side-steps.
The Tomahawk., 1920-08-12

One day last winter as'we were
leaving the ante-room of the House
Committee on Indian Affairs down
at Washington, D. c., the Assist
ant Commissioner said to me in a
tragic tone of voice, "Yes, Miss
-, we are criticized for max
ing the Indians citizens, and we
are criticized for NOT making
them citizens" He was indeed
very sad, and he threw up his
hands disparipgly. The idea of
beng so UNWARRANTABLY
criticized grieved him to the core,
poor man, and wouldn't have oeen
surprised if the next moment some
''gooseberries" had rolled out of
his big blue eyes; but the only
consolation l could offer was that
perhaps it would be better for him
to find some other kind Of work
where his efforts would be appre-
ciated. But, mercy me. you
should have seen the change that
came over him, Now, he was a
martyr; and in voice that loudly
spelled decision, he said, "Ob, !
wouldn't do thatl (horritied at my
suggestion) l am doing good
work." And don't you know, /
couldn't help but feel sorry for
him, as it was quite evident that
he should have been in an insani-
tarlum right then.
