From ID. S. Hoover

Dear Editor: I desire through the
medium of your valuable paper TO ex.
press my profound appreciation of the
untiring efforts of my friends through
out the county which resulted in my
selection TO represent this great coun-
~ in the next legislature. Working
without money and without price, the
interest they displayed in my cam
paign was such that l can assure
them 1t will not be forgotten as long
as I live. / wish to congratulate the
ladies especially for the interest they
took in this, their first primary cam
paign, and for the wisdom displayed
in the election; it has fully justified
Il action in confering upon them all
the rights Of American citizenship.
Now that the primary is over and
the great campaign is before us which
means so much to the people of the
state and nation II is our duty to our
country and to our party, no matter
whom u favorite may have been in
the race. to forgive and forget any
feeling that may have arisen and put
our shoulders to the wheel and with
one accord roll up the biggest
democratic majority ever heard Of in
Carter county.
Yours for service,
d. S. HOOVER.

qulrements, but was given no
chance. For fifty years he has
been hopeless prisoner ON the
reservation, swayed here and there
by the iron hands of the Indian
Bureau. He cannot think, for the
Indian Bureau has been doing all
of his thinking. He cannot attend
to his affairs, because the Indian
Bureau has been doing that. He
cannot spend his money or sell his
property, for the Indian Bureau
will do that for him. He is not
citizen because the Indian Bureau
keeps him as ward. No man in
America deserves the rights and
privileges of American citizenship
more than the American Indian.
Until the Indian Bureau is abol-
ished the Indian will remain what
he is. There is no other remedy.
Fellow-citizens, take the Indian
cause to heart. Do you feel free
by tolerating such treatment of
the Indians? If you want the In
dians to be free and enjoy citizen

and senator's at Washington on the

The indian Bureau--A
Paradox.

1t is a paradoxical fact that the
great object for which the Indian
Bureau was instituted by the
United States government, namely,
for freeing, educating and citizen
izing the indians; the Indian must
now ask the same government for
the ABOLITION of the Indian Bureau,
so that they may have freedom,
enjoy their rights, receive enlight.
eminent and become citizens.
1t is a strange fact, but the
truth is right there, that the para.
mount question for the govern
ment and the Indians to heed is

that the Indian Bureau must be
abolished, 50 that the Indian may
enjoy the rights and privileges of
citizens. p accorded to all other
races after FIVE years. residence in
America. The public may not be
aware of the fact that the Indians
are virtually prisoners on the res
ervations. One reason why the
public does not know the plight
OF the Indians is that they left the
Welfare of the Indians in the hands
of the Indian Bureau. The inten-
ton may have been good, but it
has proved detrimental to the best
interestr of the Indian race. There
was no more need of an Indian
Bureau to take care of the Indians
than there was of any other human
beings. But, some one will say,
they we're wild and dangerous
and were not able to transact their
affairs" That is all myth. The
fellow that was after them was
wilder and more dangerous than
the Indians. AS we look back we
see that the Indians we're not so
wild and dangerous as reputed to
be. This false notion must be
reversed before the Indians can
get justice.
= The next question: 1.-The In
dams we're incapable of taking care
of their affairs" How does any
one become capable of attending
to their affairs? 1t is by personal
contact with the thrift of the
world. 1t is :by taking his own
chance in the world of COMPETE
ton. BY falling and getting up
again and again, that carries him
on from strength to strength. 1t
is by his personal effort That be

bands referred to for the simple
reason that the Red Lakers, who
have received large sums of money
during the past few years from
the sale pine timber and lands,
and which money was paid to the
Red Lakers alone, are now con-
fronted with a serious proposition,
for the property they sold be-
longed to the Indians on the sew
erval reservations they are now
trying to annex just as much as it
did to the Red Lake Bands, and
their object now in trying to get
these reservations to join them as
one is no doubt for the purpose of
trying to extricate themselves
from the delicate position they
now find themselves in. In view
of these facts the Indians on the
Nett Lake, Leech Lake, Vermlll-
ion and Cass Lake reservations
would be very foolish to enter into
any such alliance with the Red
Lake Bands as they would only he
losing a great deal of money by so
doing.
We are of the opinion that when
the Red Lake question finally
reaches the courts, as it undoubt-
edly will before long, that all the
counciling and comic maneuvers
of the Red Lake Band will come
to naught.
