Something to
Think About.

There are thousands of white
people in this country today who
know little or nothing about the
wrongs which the Indians were
forced to suffer in the early pio'
neer days by the bad or dishones,
whites. If it had not been thai
God called noble Christian mis-.
sionaries and teachers to laber
among the red race for their
spiritual and educational uplift,
fear That they would have been
exterminated long ago.
In the early days of our
couutry's history many of the
goddess white were openly opposed
to the progress of Indian mission
work, and succeeded in breaking
many of the missions up, which
proved a great loss to the mission.
aries and the Indians. But the
goad seed sown in those trying
days has steadily grown until
there are more Christian indians
in this country today than at any
time in the past. ..
In many of our churches the
Indian race seems to be forgotten.
Seldom do we hear a missionary
sermon preached from the pulpit
in their behalf. Seldom a word is
spoken about their condition and
needs. ! feel that many churches
have shsmefully neglected our
native Indians, who are the only
true Americans in this country.

tude which we can never repay.
Our race has dispossessed them in
a manner which should bring the
crimson of shame to our cheeks.
We cannot undo the past, but
we can extend to all the red race
the gospel of redemption which
makes US brothers and sisters in
Christ. Dear Christians, let us
pray and work for our Indian
people. that they may be brought
into the light of the gospel.-Nel-
son A. Swartz, in THE INDIAN

me 70 a realization that this civil

up the hypocrisies of the paleface.
These yelled characteristics brough
on the World War and the subse-

outrages in Herrin, Mer Rouge

Sioux Nation VS.. j. S.,
Suit for S7Oo,ooo,oo0.

Brief reference was made in
these columns a short time ago re-
garding suit about to be institut
ed against the Federal government
by the several baLds of Sioux In
dians of North and South Dakota
in an effort to recover damages
for lands and property taken from
them without proper compensa-
ton. The suit has now been filed
in the United States Court of
Claims under an act of Congress
of 1920, giving. the Court of
Claims jurisdiction.
The plaintiffs number some 25,-
900 members of the Sioux nation
residing on the Rosebud, Pine
Ridge, Crow Creek, Lower Brule.
Cheyenne River land Standing
Rock reservations in South Dako-
ia, the Santee reservation in Ne
.braska, and the Fort Peck reser-

The plaintiffs allege that. mill
lions of acres of land have been
taken from them without adequate
compensation and in violation of
their treaty rights. About six
million acres of this embraces the
Black Hills, one of tho best gold
producing areas Of the country.
1t is claimed that the timber alone
in this area is worth more than
the total amount sued for. Other
land which it is claimed has been
taken is east of the Missouri river
in South Dakota and south of the
state line of South Dakota in Ne

To Hold Conference
On Chippewa Matters,

At the annual meeting of the
General Council at Cass Lake last
July, a committee of one was ap,
pointed to get in touch with
United States Senator Shipstead
and Representative Wefald and
try and arrange a conference be
tween these gentlemen and repre-
sentatives of the Minnesota Chip
pewas before the convening OF
Congress in order that important
matters pertaining to the welfare
of the tribe might be gone over in
detail with the representatives
from this district in Congress, in
order that they may be informed
of just what legislation the Chip
pewas desired. The appointee has
been busy in the meantime and
has been in communication with
Senator Shipstead and Congress-
man Wefald with this end in view,
and a communication just received
from Mr.. Shipstead's secretary
states that that gentleman was re-

dent Harding, and tnat while he

tuents and the district. he repre-
sents, and immediately upon his
return to Minnesota the matter of
arranging a conference between
himself, Mr.. Wefald and repre-
sentatiyes of the Indians would be
taken up and definitely arranged.
The conference will probably, be
held at some convenient point in
the Chippewa country and will
afford the Chippewa people an
opportunity of placing their mat
ters before their representatives
in Congress and thoroughly ex-
planning the entire situation to
them. Neither Mr.. Shipstead nor
Mr.. Wefald are conversant with
Chippewa matters to any great ex'
tent just at present, but we ven
ture the prediction that after the
conference is over they will be
fully informed and will need look
no further for enlightenment ON
the Minnesota Chippewa problem.

Thrifty

For years I've been cautious and
thrifty, | salted the dimes as they
came, and now that I'm two score
and fifty, you see me ahead of the
game / toiled with conspicuous ar
dor, and went to the bank with the
tin, and now / have pies in my
larder, and bacon and spuds in the
bin. And fellows who blew in their
earnings, who squandered desirable
dough, are busted and sick with
their yearnings for comforts they
never shall know. All day through
the streets they are drilling, and
seeking, from dawn until dark, some
lob that will bring them a shilling
some graft that will yield them a
mark. | see them, the weary old
walkers, Isee them and pity them
all; for they should be perched in
their rockers, each one in his opu-
lent hall. In beds that are silken
and classy they all should, be able tc
snore; they all should be chipper
and sassy, with never wolf at the
door. If people would save in life's
summer Efe's winter would find
them serene, with bundles of coin
that a plumber might view and with
envy turn green. Alas, it is idle
this preaching, my sermons have al
ways been spurned; the people are
seeking and reaching for new ways
to blow what they've earned.
