High in the heart of the Great

Cherokee Indian nation has set up
an Indian republic.

established their own government
on a $4,000 acre reservation set
aside by the United States.
A chief selected at intervals
from the leaders of the tribe, heads
the Indian government. Assisted
by an advisory council elected
from the hundred or more town

Harding Calls Halt
To Rush Spending.

49,
President Harding and the cabi-
net have determined to put acheck
upon the money spending activi
ties of government department
heads who rush headiong into ex
penditures in the closing months
of each fiscal year in order to pre-.
vent any money appropriated from
lapsing back to the Treasury.
1T has been the policy from
time immemoriai," said a White
House spokesman, for govern
ment department heads to spend
appropriations whether the ex
penditures were necessary or not.
That must now be stopped. 1t is
a mistaken policy.
Last year the president learned
of one government official who
was frantically trying to. spend
$40, 900 before June 80 because be
had it to spend and it was difficult
for him to find how to spend it.
This year that officia! changed bis
policy and saved out of his appro
priation $240, 900.
This year another incident was

Shut off from the softenjng in
fluences. of civilization by the
Great Smoky range, the Indians
have been slow to pick up modern
farming and business methods.
Their farms are still titled with
the help of oxen and their busi-
ness transactions are carried out
in the manner of half century
ago.
Recently, however, the Indians
have shown an inclination to
mingle with the outside world and
have made great strides forward.
Schools and agricultural colleges
have been established and high

the Great Smoky range and thence
to the Atlantic coast is expected
to throw open the Indian territory

Theodore n. BeauIieu.

Theodore H. Bcaulieu, writer,
orator, farmer and business man,
left this life at an age few people
reach. Born somewhere near Kau-
kauna, Wisconsin, on September
4, 1850, our subject lived a many
sided and varied life. Few men of
his temperament and position got
as much out OF life. Always active
and hopeful, >our subject realized
many of his dreams.
Mr.. Beaulieu was a son of BAIL
aud Mary (Saulliard) Beaulieu, the
former a natiye of Wisconsin and
the latter of Michigan. After COM
pleting his education and spending
twelve years at the printing trade,
be entered the International Marine
Service between Philadelphia and
Liverpool, where he renamed for
two years. -. .. -.
In 1879 Mr.. Beaulieu left Wis.
consin and entered the service of
of the United States in various
capacities among the Cbippewas,
whsre he remained for some time.
He also served as United States
Land Examiner for two years and
thereafter was in charge of the
land department at the White
Earth Agency for some time.
In 1887 Mr.. Beaulieu established
the first aboriginal newspaper in
the Indian country which furnished
the muculus for the present pub
lication, The ToMAHAwK. He
never entirely gave up his literary
pursuits and up to the time of his
last sickness was a valuable con-
tributor and correspondent to the
Twin City and local publications.
Perhaps the greatest outstanding
facts which characterized our sub.
ieet during his lifetime was his
untirlng efforts in uplifting and
upbuilding the community in
which he lived. He was a keen
studenG of the affairs of the Chip
pewas and long champion of their
cause Ever active for the welfare
of the Indians, he desired their
thorough assimilation with the
white mans ways. He was q
striking example of the aims to
which he aspired for all others.
His place in this particular will be
difficult to fill.
For the past fifteen years Mr..
Beaulieu had been engaged in the
real estate business, and a few
years ago plated a summer re.
sort on the shores of White Earth
Lake. For a number of years he
served as one of the supervisors
of his township, and was filing
that position when death called
him. In connection with his SER
vices as a public officer, the road
between White Earth and Ogema
has been established as a State
AID Road, which will mean a saw
ing of many thousands of dollars
to the township. ..
On January 18th, Mr.. Beaulieu
entered the Eitel Hospital, Mime
apolis. and submitted TO an opera
tion which a number of physicians
advised. The operation was ap-
parently successful and he re-
turned to his home on. April 3rd.
4 Unexpected complications devel-
1oped however, and during the ten
J, days he remained at home he failed
rapidly and it was found necessary
and advisable to have special
treatment and care at the Mound
Park Sanitarium. St. Paul, in the
lhope that his recovery might be

OF California Doctor

SAN DIEGO, Cal, April 3.-Con-
versations between DR.. Louis
Jacobs, public health service ply
sician at Camp Kearney and Miss
FRITZ Mann, dancer, with whose
murder, the doctor is charged, were
expected to be related to Dorothy
Armstrong, also q dancer, and a.
close friend of the dead girl at the
resumption of the Doctors trial to-
day.
Miss Armstrong was on the stand
last Thursday where court adjourn
ed over the weekend.
The last question put to her was
one concerning a statement she was
said to have overheard, DR.. Jacobs
make to Miss Mann in a local hotel
lobby, not long before Miss Manns
body was found on the Lorrey Pines
beach, near here.
The defense counsel objected to
the question and also asked for dis

that the state had not proved that
Miss Mann was murdered. Superior
Judge Marsh overruled the defense
in both instances yesterday and or
dered that the trial proceed today.

Wake Of Wreckage
Is Left by Tornado
In Central Kansas

HUTCHINSON, Kan, April g.
Southwestern and central Kansas
today was recovering from heavy
wind and hail storms which struck
late yesterday.
Partridge, near here, was clear
ing away the debris of wrecked
buildings as a result Of tornado
that injured two persons and caused
damage estimated at $4,000. Three
business buildings were destroyed
and the roofs Of several other stores
and residences were carried away.
Partridge was without electric light
or telephone service, Heavy rain
and hail followed the tornado.
The rain and hail, however, offer
ed relief to this section from severe
dust and sand storms Of the past
several days.
A small amount of damage was
done at Pratt, Kan, by a heavy
wind and hail storm. Lindsborg and
other towns also reported heavy
wind and rain but no damage.

tempt on the part Of Johnson to try
for the presidency.
Much has happened since the
Robbins speech, but the trip OF Hi
ram Johnson to Europe is looked
upon with some uneasiness by those
who believe the Californian has
gone abroad to get ammunition for
an aggressive fight in the primary
campaigns which precedes the Re-
publican national convention in
June, 1924. Almost single-handed and
with practically no funds, Mr.. john
son won state after state in the pr1-
maries only to lose these votes by
combinations of the regulars in the
convention itself.
The more there is talk of Mr.. Har-
ding leaning toward that wing of
his party represented by Charles
Evans, Elihu Root and others who
favored American entrance into the
League Of Nations with reservations,
the more the chances of Hiram John
son entering the presidential pri-
mary race grows brighter. lire
spective of whether one agrees with
the Johnson viewpoint, it is worth
recording at this time because of
the indirect effect it may have on
the development of President Har-
ding's foreign policy, which for the
moment is being conducted by Sec
rotary Hughes along lines that Mr..
Harding has approved, but which if
departing from 1920 ideas will sure
Iy produce trouble for the Harding
denomination campaign.

WILSON LISTENS
As BRITON PRAISES
LEAGUE OF NATIONS

NEW YORK, April 3,-Woodrow
Wilson listened to the address of
Lord Robert Cecil on the League of
Nations here last night by radio at
his home in Washington. When 1t
was announced that the former pres
ident was hearing the address the
diners at the Hotel Astor rose to
their feet and cheered. Mrs. Wilson,
who was present, smiled happily as
she joined in the tribute to her hus-
band.
Mrs. Wilson is the guest of Mr..
and Mrs. Bernard Baruch on her
first visit to New York in two years.
Lord Cecil, in his first formal adj
dress in America, told 1000 persons
at the dinner, given by the Foreign
Policy association, that America
could not afford to stay out Of the
league. The league has already done
meritorious work and will continue
to- do so, he said.
America should ask herself, he
said, if she can afford to stand aloof
from the scheme that promises more
than any other to prevent the out
break of war.
Other outstanding points in his ad-
dress were:
International fear and suspicion
are the basic evils responsible for
the madness of war.
In their places must be substituted
the force of persuasion and public
opinion.
Disarmament can not come until
it is general and that it can not be
general until nations agree to help
their neighbors if they are attacked.
No nation can build a Chinese wall
around it's frontiers and exclude the
other nations of the world.
The League of Nations has been
accepted by fifty-two nations as the
best means of substituting persua.
sion for, arm ed force
