THE WOMEN'S, CLUBS AND
THE HAMMOCK INDIANS

Amusing things happen at times
in the settlement or attempted set
Element of moral questions, and 1t
is seasonable just now to note one of
the practices of the Bannock Indians
for adjusting moral and spiritual
things in their native haunts.
Once a year they had spiritual
adjustment, at which time the Incl
dents of the year were closed, the
slate was wiped clean, and they all
took new start. 1t was a sort of
confessional, conducted in this way:
They all met at the big council
place, and great semi-circle was
reserved for seating those who
judged that they had so conducted
themselves turnout the preceding
year, that they could look all per-
sons in the face and have no mis-
givings as to their personal and
moral conduct. When all were
seated and accepted, the ceremony
approving and commencing their
life was gone thru and they stood
forth as the exemplars and advisers
of the tribe. But before this was
done there was sorting up. All
who went forward to take seats in
the semi-circle knew that they did
so at the risk of somebody disagree
ing with them. Those who knew
they had not stuck to the paths of
rectitude stayed out of the semi
circle and nothing was said about it.
But it was the privilege of any of
them to approach anyone in the
charmed circle, look such person in !
the face and lead him or her out. |
1t was, of course, an acknowledge |
ment on the part of the one doing |
the leading, that he or she was not |
faultless, and there was the assump-
ton that such person could not look
he other in the face as accuser I'M
ess there was ample reason for it.
The person accused usually looked
Town at the ground and walked
away with the accuser, and it be-
'ame at once a complaint, a verdict
IT guilty, and an acceptance of the
entence.
Anyone seated in the charmed
ircle might, if he chose, lead some
'ody out, and then return, and that

that there was spirit of democracy
there, that the students call each
other by their first names, that the
young fellow who works his way,
the girl who works her way are both
radeship as those who have plenty
of money. The food is good, cheap
and plentiful, the students make
their own rules of conduct as a
whole and are loyal to the rules.
They may dance every evening for
thirty minutes after supper, and the
extreme attitudes in dancing are
banned by the rules. Four night in
the week they must be in their
rooms at 7.30, and there is work to
do to keep up with the course. The
other three nights they remain out
at late as ten, but the village Is so
quiet and so isolated, the school is
the one attraction and as the stu
dents are there for a purpose, 1t
suits them to keep to the rules and
to the purpose. II their purpose
were different they would not be
there. The one fellow with a diff
ferent purpose left. Those who
were lukewarm or pliable fell into
the ways of the place and became
and worked to purpose.
That was the observations of
nearly two years, and the lesson we
offer in it is that children in homes
where there is nothing to do had
better be given something to do. The
that affords no employ
ment should address itself to the
ask of providing busy work. Par
ents should stop making the remark
hat they want their children to get
IN education so they will not have
% work, and reverse it, saying they
want them educated so they can
work to better. effect.

hungry or thirsty they had lowered
food and drink, and he had eaten
in the slop and slime of the work
and kept on heaving sacks to the
number of 1900. After eighteen
hours they hauled him out, and even
then the river was rising at Miner
dam and the tide rolled down the
rocky canyon, swelling the stream
beyond their control, but the crevice
was sealed and the concrete was
set.
Thus did they fill the biggest
known mortar postal on the river;

ASK PROBE OF
RULING MADE
BY S. JOHNSON
Senator Miklethus Introduces
Resolution in the State
Senate
INVOLVED DRAKE MILL

The Nonpart san League is still
loc ling for chance to get Justice
SvcinbjOrn .JohnsOn's SCALP.
This cropped out in the senate
when Senator Mik.ethun Nonparti-
san. Griggs county, introduced
concurrent resolution.
The resolution sets forth a num-
Der Of interesting facts among 9TH
els that the report of the indus
trial commission which shows that
dming the two and one-half years
Of its operation the Drake Mill lost
S@0,253 "is generally supposed to
be incorrect and misleading"
Thre are other charges about the
Industrial commission report in
general, and the resolution then
gets down to the real meat of the
situation, by declaring that it is
generally charged that Sveinbjorn
johnson prior to his election as at
tcrncy-genral when acting as
referee in bankruptcy held in a
Grand Forks case that the state
had no prior lien on consigned
flour and that it is generally held
by attorneys that such ruling was
erroneous and was intended to in
lure and cripple the Drake Mill
for political purposes"
Justice johnson is also charged
with continuing with similar nefar-
ious practices after becoming at
torney genei al.
The resolution asks the l.euten-
ant governor and the speaker of
The house of representatives each
appoint one Nonpartisan and one
Independent on committee which
shall probe the whole affair, the
committeeman named by the two
houses to select a fifth member of
the committee, and to make a full
report to the legislative assembly.
Although Senator Miklethun
wanted the resolution referred to
the state affairs committee of the
senate for snap action he was re-
minded that under a rule adopted
Friday at all bills and resolutions
now introduced must 60 to a COM
mittee on delayed bills before
further action is taken. So the
resolution was so referred.
When the resolution was shown
to Justice Johnson he said. 1.-THE
whole thing is rather a clumsy at
tempt at political propaganda he
said.
1.-THE ruling referred to was
handed down by me on March IL.
1921 or nearly two years ago in a
case connected with the bank
ruptcv proceedings of the PeOnles'
Supply Co. of Grand Forks which
had some Drake Mill -four on con-
signment.
"My holding was that the Drake
Mill was not the state of North
Dakota and therefore held no prior
lien. The same day that I made
the ruling. a similar ruling was
made by Judge McKenna in con-
nection with the garnisheement of
funds Of the Bank of North Dako-
Ia. The legal point involved was
practically identical.
"The Sargent county case, was
as | remember it, appealed to the
supreme court, and the ruling was
upheld there.
