the estate can never be settled.)
But divisions is only a mild be-
ginning to this wonderful System.
Each division is divided into gee
tions, and each section into sub.
sections.
Not to be tiresome we will only
cite the forestry division. 1t is
divided into six sections, namely:
protection of forestry; forest sur
veys; sales of lumber; manufacture
of lumber; forest extension; and
grazing.
These sections are divided into
twenty eight sub-sections, namely:
Construction of roads, trails,
bridges and telephone lines; es-
tablishment of range stations;
maintenance of forest control;
Suppression of forest fires; pre-
vention of timber trespass; preven
tion of obstruction by insects; edu-
cation as to proper use of forests;
establishment of boundaries; ex-
animation of timber; detailed es-
innate of amount of timber; sys-
tematic appraisals of timber val
ues; preparation of contour maps;
preparation of contracts and bonds;
presentation of sales to timber
operators; supervision of logging
operations; disposition of slush
from numbering operations; rec
ords of transactions; conducting of
logging operations; establishment
and maintenance Of sawmills; sale
of sawmill products; supervision
of cutting operations by Indians;
encouragement of natural repro
duction; planting of trees; assist
ance in management of stock; sup.
ervising grazing in Indian lands;
and preventing damage to forests.
You would think that this ought
to be plenty for a sub'divided
"division," but we have not yet
finished the ''education and civil
izing" of the Indian in their anal
ysis of o1Iy one of the eleven
major divisions.

She told her two daughters and
they swore to the truth CT their

from the first that Tidwell was in
nocent of the crime for which he
had spent nearly twenty five years
in prison. The man who killed
Brown was former lover of Mrs.

Indian VindiCated
After Is Years in Prison

What the Department eff Justice
declares is lone of the most re-
markable and perhaps the most
tragic case" ever brought to its
attention was revealed recently
when the department announced
that Charner TidwelI, a halfbreed'
Cherokee Indian, had been releas
ed from the Atlanta Penitentiary
after serving nearly twenty-five
years for murder of which he
was innocent.
Probably the most dramatic
feature of the strange case is that
the Indian now finds himself the
master of millions of dollars in
oil lands be inherited during his
quarter century behind steel bars.
In 1899, TidweIl was accused of
the murder of one Jim Brown,
who was shot while blowing in his
fields near Tallequah. Chiefly on
the testimony of Browns son,
Tidwell, youth of seventeen, was
sentenced to life Imprisonment.
The prosecution contended that he
was in love with Mrs. Brown and
murdered her husband to get rid
of him. She was jointly indicted
with Tidwell, as having melted
him to the murder, but acquitted.
Tidwell always protested his
innocence, even though he was
denied pardons by Presidents
Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson. Sew
eral women who were interested
in his case kept up the fight for
him. and Senators Gore and Owen
lent their aid. The Indian changed
from an intractable prisoner, who
"growled and barked like dog'i
in his cell at the Ohio State Pris-
on, and later had to be handcuffed
and thrown into solitary confine-
ment on bread and water at At
lanta, to a man of dlspair when he
was forty years old.
At this period, however, Attor.
ney General Daugherty was adj
vised by Miss Alice Robertson,
Congresswoman from Oklahoma,
that additional evidence had been
obtained in Tidwell's case. Assist
ant Attorney General Grim, who
had charge of the criminal division
of the Department of Justice, be-
gan a searching investigation and
discovered that Tidwell had been
convicted according to processes
of law, but that the evidence was
entirely circumstantial.
When Mr.. Grim found only one
witness whose testimony appeared
to support the evidence Of guilt,
suspicion was aroused and the ex-
perts at the department began to
dig deeper. Finally, Attorney
General Daugherty made his rec.
ommendation for clemency to
President Harding, and a com.
mutation of sentence followed. .
Shortly after Tidwell reached
his native Oklahoma. the widow
of Jim Brown was found to have

The Indian Bureau system IS
really unknown to all our citizens.
Few, who even see the annual re-
port of the Commissioner of In
dian Affairs, stop to read it, ex-
cept perhaps the ever humble, yet
self-eulogizipg expressed deep in
terest in the welfare of the poor
Indian, and when Congress re
spends" how much more good
they are planning to do.
If it were not such disgraceful
tragedy, it would be joke upon
our citizens that this mighty Sys'
tenn with its practical ownership
of billion dollars in money and
property still pays" its exttava-
CANT way out of the pockets of the
self-same citizens. Their contri-
buttons annually to this System,
for the purpose of Educating"
and herding some 100000 humans,
amounts to the tidy sum of be
tween SIS, 900, 900 and SIG, ,000,O
Out of the few who read this
annual "self-laudatory storyp of
how hard the System is working
to educate" the Indian, only a
handful ever analize its scattered
figures and make tabulauions of it's
complex reports, and then compare
), them, thus gaining some knowl-
edge of the waste of the citizens
money supporting this gigantic
machine. Those who reflect learn
(more humiliating and important
than all things else) of the brutal
and effective prostitution of the
original aim of our Government,
namely,-to educate and bring
into our citizenship the few re-
naming members of the native
citizens, survivors of brave and
spiritual race.
Any one used to an annual re-
port of the head of q large busi.
ness concern, probably dismisses
(if he ever sees it) the report on
the lLdian Bureau as only issued
to comply with the law. The
newspapers absorb and scatter
broadcast all the details the Sys
tenn can feature of its "bountiful
care" of the poor Indian and of
his progress" Qf the Indian
darec tell of his progress" it
would read like that of the here in
Dante's famous story.) However.
the report with it's complex fig ures
and confusing tabulations is de-
signed for two purposes only: U
to comply with the law requiring
the issuance of report, and (2) to
so arrange facts and figures as to
induce Congress to respond" to
greater appropriations.
The System admits that it now
has $4,000 employees. 1t has an
! account division; finance division;
files division; record division; land
division; inspection division; law
division; education division; pur-
chase division: forestry division;
and a probate division (yes, this
one of it's divisions which the Sys-
I tenn hopes may make it's life per-
petual. The Indian heirs do not

SOCIALISTS CONDEMN
PROGRAM OF FASCIST
Forbid Members Cooperating With
Liberal Branches Of Big Parties

NEW YORK, May 21.-The national
convention of the socialist party
adopted resolutions today condemn
ing the Italian fascist; approving
the plan to coordinate labor educa-
ton under the program being worked
out by the American Federation of
Labor and the Trades Union Educa-
tional League and expressing a hope
that the international conference
now in session at Hamburg would
result IN the formation of a great In
ternational organization comprising
socialists and trade unionists.
The last resolution was in the ma
ture of a compromise reached after
the convention had tebelled on Sat
urday at forwarding any instruc-
tions to Messrs. Berger, Hillquit, Pan
ken and Berman, the United States
delegates, regarding their attitude to-
ward militant delegates to the Ham
burg conference.
The convention defeated an attempt
to prohibit foreign speaking branches
affiliated with the socialist party
here from joining other liberal
groups.
The vote taken on Sunday permit
ting the party to continue affjlia-
tions with the Conference for Politi-
clude socialists from an alliance with
any party affiliated with capital. In
the original manifesto only the demo-
cratic and republican parties were
mentioned as organizations from
which the socialists were barred from
co-operation, the amendment today
being designed to include possible
progressive wings within either of
the major parties.
