millionaire Indian Wins
Right to Wed.

Topeka, Kan.-Jackson Bar
nette, y years old, reputed oil
millionaire and said to be the
wealthiest Indian in America and
white wife, formerly Anna Laura
Lowe, 80 years old, have defeated
suit to have their marriage can
celled. BY living amicab'y through
out a months honeymoon in the
Indians humble dcmicilc near
Henryetta, Okla, they swept
aside all evidence presented in
three months of procedure in the
Kansas supreme court and suit to
annul the union has been crossed
off the calendar.
The suit was brought by Carl j..
O'Hornett of Henryetta, Okla,
the Indians guardian, and Cato
Sells, United States commissioner
of Indian affairs. 1t set forth that
Barnett was illiterate and that last
May he and his bride eloped in an
automobile furnished By the WON
all, crossed the Kansas line and
we're married in Arkansas City,.
In the original proceedings insti-
tuted in the Kansas supreme court.
Guardian O'Hornett petitioned
that his aged ward be restored to
him. 1t was charged that the
bride had kidnapped her husband
and that she was al adventures:
Barnett, characteristic of his
race, is a man of few words. He
made it plain to the court, how
ever, that he was we'll content.
z'TherIndian and his bride ap,
pear to have stood the test of
matrimony," commented Judge
A. M. Jackson, commissioner ap-
pointed by the supreme court to
hear the evidence in the case. 1T
was agreed that Barnett and bis
wife be permitted to go on a
honeymoon of a month. The
honeymoon over they still main
tain they are satisfied, so after
conference with all parties con-
cerned it was agreed to recommend
to the supreme court!that the case
be dropped.''
The supreme court acted IL
accord with Judge Jackson's rec
concentrations.
The Indian for many years lived
on his land allotment near Henry.
eta, his horses and dogs his only
companions. He made little use
of his land, his cash allotment
from the government being ample
TO purchase bis few worldly needs.
But a few years ago Barnett,s
farm began to yield oil. Under
his state and federal guardians,
the Indians wealth increased from
,he royalties Until, according tc
O'Hornett, it now exceeds mil
lion dollars.

Great Spirit Never Smoked
Pipe Of Manit0u, In
dian Says.

Whether William Tell ever shot
an apple off his boys head, whether
Casabianca ever stood on the burn
| ing deck, whether Will Shaksper
wrote the plays of Shakespeare
these are cold and remote ques-
tons to the folks of Madison, Wis.
What they particularly want to
know is whether the Pipe of Man.
jtou," now treasured in the State
Historical museum there, ever
really glowed with burning tobac-
co to soothe the feelings of the
Great Spirit, heavenly ruler of
the Ojibway nation.
For a heartless iconoclast has
arisen to declare that the famous
rock for the possession of which
the archaeologists of two states
have contended in scholarly rivalry
is fake-that it was never a focus
of Indian worship and that the
noble red man 2ever called it the
''Pi oe or Manltou" or used it as
an altar for the Precipitation OF has
diety with offerings of tobacco IN
burning sacrifice.
The person who has thus thrown
the archaeologists of Wisconsin and
Missouri into dismay is an ancient
Indian, Thomas Bracklin, who
proposes to know tho true history
of the Esprit rock'' and the origin
of it's singular reputation. His
story throws charming light on
the courtesy and brotherliness OF
the Indian character, for he tells
that his tribesu,en, finding the
rock a conspicuous landmark on
the trail, had formed the habit of
not only stopping to smoke a pipe
there. but also of leaving some
tobacco ON the rock for the delec'
tation of the next traveller to pass
that way.
That the spread of similar
spirit among the white races would
20 far toward curing all the ills OF
civilization is freely acknowledged
by the .savants of the State His
torical museum at Madison, but
this reflection fails to console them
for the dnfeeling blow dealt tc
the rock and to themselves by the
aged man.
The Esprit rock" originally
adorned the landscape at Lake
Chetac, Sawyer county, Wis in
territory inhabited by branch OF
the Chippewa Indians, known as
the Lac Courtes GRIZZLIES band.
Thomas Bracklin. the Indian WHO
has now spilled the beans about
the Pipe of Manitou,' lived in
that region for so years.
The story Of Indians actually
worsbipping the stone, BracklIn
says, probably started from the
devotional eccentrlcities of all
elderly rcd man, Chin minnie, who
was wont TO hike from Rice lake
to certain religious festivals at Lac
Couderilles. Camping one night
near the trailside rock, Cbin"nln-
ME was studying 10 memorlze his
part in the forthcoming ritual, and
he aided himself by tracing a
symbolic figure, clearly a religious
character IN the rock. That figure,
of course, made the white men
still reader to believe that the
stone was veritably the Pipe of
Manitou." ~., .. @<=-."@ 49,

On The lgrt Of Japan toward the Uni
ted states there can be no doubt bui
that the people Of Japan do not wish

ested IN the issues which are supposed
TO make Tor war This does not mean
that it is at all impossible to irrate
and insult Japanese national pride
that Japan may feel driven into Il
Tight, preferring even to be beaten
TO accepting an Insult without protest.
Bat even though a few politicians an
Sicus to make case against the Cow
eminent may be found in Japan who
make statements which appear war
like, it seems apparent that instead OF
interest and indignation against the
United States in the matter of Japa-
nese immigration to the L. $. increas-
ing, the public is beginning TO tire Of
the matter.
Ae present the Government is sit
ting tight, desiring that all matters
connected with the California ques-
tion be let alone, at least until such
time as some definite outcome of the
present Washington negotiations is at
hand. The Foreign Office merely let's
1t be known that these negotiations
are making satisfactory progress. 1T
is evident that it now feels that the
matter has reacehd the point where
The State Department at Washington
must feel out the Senate to submit
to that body such provisions which
have been agreed upon between Am
bassador Shidehara and the officials
OF the State Department If it is deem
ed fairly certain that theSenate will
agree to these arrangements as prac-
tically settled. If, on the other hand
il is decided that there isa fair chance |
of the Senate's turning down the pro- |
posal, 1t will not be submitted at all, \
lest Japan's pride be exposed to fur
ther humiliation in the Senate.
Keeping the public quite is, how
ever. not anything IKE as great task
as it was coupls of months ago.

RECLAIMING OF FARMS
. IN WAR TORN Flanders

BRUSSELS. Jan. 21.-slowly, but
surely the battle-worn farms of Flan-
ders are coming into their own again.
Government is offering special favor
able terms for the leasing of land for
agricultural purposes, with a view to
helping in this branch of national re-
construction. Belgion farmers are all
"lHtlen men; there is not really big
allotment in the kingdom. While Il
is true that there are spots, round
about the User and elsewhere, that
will not be available for cultivation for
years, scattered up and down Fland-
ers. are numerous farmlets which a
couple of years ago, were little else
! than shell-ploughed wastes and eeries
/ of the carrion crow.
/ Quietly but effectively the Belgian
smallholder is coming back to his
farm; and the department Of agrieul-
ture is affording as much help as red
tape and bureaucracy will admit.
There were no leased farms in Bel
gium before the war. Every small
holder owned his land outright Tn
der the revived system of leasehold
farms, the government has Instituted
special facilities to enable ruined far
mers to rent land. These impoverish-
ed people could never after their
heavy war losses, hope TO buy their al
lotment.
These small agriculturists, who have
TO work terribly hard to get livinf
out of the ungrteful SOIL. usually work
a few acres on their own account. or
maybe. they are assisted by members
of their family. and perhaps, in the
busy season, by one or two, not more
hired hands
With a determination to develop
. agriculture. the authorities subsidizf
a number of practical courses of train'
ing in the various branches of farm
work. Local agricultural clubs and
farmers societies are chosen for carry.

ton. Certified teachers in farming
are paid for giving public lectures an(
