Indians Proving Success
As Farmer and StOCkman

The American Indians are in
vesting heavily in the livestock
industry, according to reports from
the Indian Bureau. At present
they own 1,659,OO0 head of live
stock, with an estimated value oi
$35, 100000. Under federal law,
the Indian Bureau is authorized tc
loan money to Indians to buy cattle
ano give them six years to repay
the amount borrowed without in.
terest.
That the American Indian has
progressed not only in the live
stock industry but in all other
lines of business is evidenced by
comparative figures Of 20 years
ago with those of today. Twenty
years ago there were 1000 In.
dians engaged in farming, cult
vating 100000 acres of land. The
value of their crops at that time
was 81, 100000, and their live
stock value was S,1SS,OOO. Today
there are $4,000 Indians engaged
in farming, cultivating s91, 900
acres of land, producing crops of
an annual value of $12, 900, 900 and
raising live stock valued at $685.

The LAWMAKING MANIA.

Uncle Sam is afflicted with the
lawmaking disease. His case is
the worst in the history Of the
world.
The output is so large the law
libraries cannot house it, the law.
yers cannot digest or assimilate it
1t is said to be q fact that the
48 state legislatures enact more
laws than are even proposed by
five great nations.
The ratio before the war was
fifty new laws in our country to
one by any great nation of Europe.
1t takes $50 large volumes to
bold in printed form the Supreme
Court opinions on questions of
constitutionality. -
The law library of Columbia
University contains 100000 vol
umes and increases at the rate of
5000 . year.
Why not stop manufacturing, 50
many laws, try enforcing some of
them and repeal some of the
others9
A smaller legislative output
would be an evidence of political
sanity.

Now, precisely on account ol

(By Aurele Vermeulen L. Arch,
in American Indian Tipi.)
Abroad, as at home, Uncle Sam
is considered mighty fine fellow.
He is brave, gentle, generous,
charitable. As we see him illus
trated in pictures and caricatures
and from his deeds he represents
we'll the United States of America.
Indeed, this country has the dis,
played and mute respect of the
entire world, the friendship of
most or nearly all nations, the
enmity of none. Even its enemies
of yesterday appreciate or at least
understand and admit the chival-
rous attitude OF this country vic
torious. If this country ever lost
any prestige or material profits, it
may have been on account Of be-
ing too patient, too tolerant, too
modest, but never on account of
unfair dealing with a foreign ma
ton.
This nation, through its govern
ment. various organizations and
individuals is always the first to
extend assistance to the people of
other nations struck by misfortune.
The American assistance in money,
supplies and skill is proverbially
conspicuous in any foreign country
devastated by earthquake, fire,
starvation or disease. Uncle Sam
is there giving aid, rot for public.
ity or fame, but simply to keep
his conscience clear; in fact, he
would like to conceal his identity
for be is a great philanthropist, a
very modest chap, a gentleman by
birth and inclination.
The characteristicol liberality of
the United States in dealing with
foreign governments or people is
not less conspicuous in settlements
and dispositions of its own internal
affairs. Through laws, depart
ments, officials, commissions, ap.
preparations and other govern
mental channels there is liberty,
education, progress, prosperity;
there is protection for women and
children, care for the disabled and
aged veterans, welcome to natural
ization for aliens, land grants,
citizenship for the Negroes. There
are laws and appropriations for a
multitude of purposes tending to
constantly ameliorate the condi-
tions of it's citizens; there are laws
and appropriations for the preser-
vatiop and propagation of the
American fora and fauna. And
then, what the Government (fed-
eral. state and local, as one) does
not do, is done, in true American
way; we'll, by civic, charitable and
progressive organizations and in
dividuals.
Born or naturalized American
citizens, we are, here, more for.
tunate than citizens and subjects
of many other countries. In this
land, totally isolated and unknown
to the whites a few centuries ago,
then the undisputed and exclusive
possession of the native Red Man,
here, we are today citizens of q
new, great and prosperous nation,
proud of our achievements, pleased
with our deeds; our heads high
when travelling on tie high seas
and other continents.

N. \. MAN SEEKS
DAMAGES FOR AUTO
WRECKED BY CAR

The case Of Albert Jelley of Nash
ua. y. H.. against the Androscosgin
and kenncbec railroad. asking $500
damages for the wrecking of his
Franklin auto on the night of Au-
gust %. or early in the morning of
August -. 1922 was heard Monday,
a large part of the testimony being
i'll when court adjourned at 1.15 Mon
day evening
After Henry r. Hill. n civil engi-
neer and Herman X. Mansur. a
photographer had testified as to the
authenticity of a sketch of the scene
OF the accident made by Mr.. Hill and
pictures of the car taken by Mr..
ManSur. these were entered as eX-
hibitS and the plaintiff was called to
the stand.
MI Jelly related that he was COM
3nS toward Augusta on the evening
IN question and that he left Gardiner
about midnight. He came up toward
Hallowell and when in Farmingdale

to turn back and hunt for Il detour to
Augusta. Not finding the detour he
again started for Augusta, as. all
though the road was under construc-
ton. it was not fully blocked up and
Nv itit tllftC ne tculu SeL through.
After going some distance he came
upon an auto stuck in the mud and
cit order to pass it turned to the
right onto the right of way of the
electric car line and continued. When
he tried to turn back intoSthe road he
found that he could not do so and

muddy.
Edward w. Stone of Boston. an in
Surance man, specializing in auto
insurance. was called to the stand
for the plaintiff. He testified that he
came over the road tho next day
about noon and that he saw no in
dicatiOn that the road was closed al
though it was in state of repair.
He saw the wrecked auto and would
estimate its value before the acct
dent at about $1,000 and after the
accident at about $50. He based
