CONSEQUENCE OF THE PRICE
DECLINE

1t is characteristic OF human ma
ture that We appreciate onr own
troubles letter than those of our
neighbors and that we like To fix re-
sponsibili,y for them upon some spe-
cific persons or interests. Thus, des-
pite the fact that refiners have been
compelled to take very heavy losses
on sugars purchased at the high
prices of early summer, efforts have
been made in certain quarters to
place responsibility for the decline
upon their shoulders. We hold no
commission to defend the refners of
sugar, bat we find it impossible to
believe that they would deliberately
sacrifice millions Of dollars for no
other purpose than to injure the pro-
ducers Of raw sugar when that
course could be Of NO possible ad-
vantage to themselves.
At the rresen. time. when some Of
the beet sugar companies are selling
sent an actual loss of dollar Or
more on every bag marketed. profess
sional opponents Of the industry are
endeayoring to convince the growers
Of sugar beets that the companies
have deliberately brought about this
condition in order to avoid the pay
ment of bonuses and to pave the way
for a reduction in the prices paid for
beets.
Aside from the fact that beet SUI
gar has steadily followed in the price

J. Being . Done one
Against Many Indian
Tribes.
President Harding Probes Indian Affairs.

President Harding has under
dertaken to investigate, personally,
numerous complaints from the
many Indian tribes throughout
the country that their interests
were not being properly safe
guarded by the government, the
facts of which were laid before
the President early in the summer.
Representatives Of the Sioux,
Mohave, Apaches. and several
other tribes carried to the White
House complaints that designing
white men were being allowed to
wrest valuable property rights
from the Indians: The President
listened to the representations aud
then requested that the detailed
charges be laid before him, ASSERT
ing that be would tolerate no
injustice to the Indians under his
administration.
One of the leading complaints,
presented BY Joseph w. Latimer,
New York attorney, is that the
Bureau of Indian Affairs is en-
deavoring to remove the Mohaye
and Apache Indians from the Fort
Mcdowell reservation in Arizona
to the Salt River Valley and de-;
prive them Of their water rights
on the reservation in order to,
enable private water companies to
obtain water supply from the
Verde River.

~ sAdvices from Washington are
to the effects that the proposition
of removing this Agency to Be-
midi or some other point in that
vicinity, which step the Depart
ment OF Indian Affairs has been
contemplating for some time past
with the view of consolidating the
Chippewa agencies in this state
and establishing one agency for
the supervision and administration
Of all Chippewa affairs in Minneso-
to, has been aba1doned-for the
present at least. The agency is
to remain here for the next year
or more. .sS &. ..: $50
Our information is also that
there will be no government board
ing school opened here this year.
This will no doubt be bitter

ment here wilo have been very

deay0ring to circulate petitions,
aud representing to officials here
that was the desire OF a great
majority of the Indians that the
I
boarding school here should be
re-opened, all Of which failed to
convince the Department however.
Superintendent Wadsworth has
been in Washington for the past
ten Gays in conference with De
partment heads regarding these
matters, and while we are
not prepared to say just
what position the superinten-
dent took regarding them, it isl
gratifying at least to know that
the agency is to remain here, and
also that we are not to be burdened
with that relic of by-gone days

Of anything in the boarding school
line, this school is easily accessible
to any and all children living

Germs the Indian children who may
be living at points on the reserva-
ton too far distant to attend the
district school here, and where
there may be at present 70 ade-
quate school facilities, it is safe to
assume that in due time some
satisfactory arrangements will be
made to assure them proper school
