A Good Move
By Uncle Sam,

Citizens of the United States
may feel proud that this country
is to observe National Defense Test
Day, September IL. says the Fair
mont Sentinel.
1t is the first time that this coun-
try has made any pretense Of
looking over its defense machinery
while we were at peace.
While pacifist may view with
alarm" this apparent strutting of
military proficiency, thinking peo
pie at once realize that if peace is
to be maintained throughout the
world, Uncle Sam is going to play
a mighty active part for genera
tions to come.
This nation is now recognized
by all the world as the richest and
most powerful on earth. When
Uncle Sam makes a move, the rest
of the world is going to know
about it. So long as this country
remains alert, friendly, yet watch
full, few nations will care to start
a war.
People OF the United States are
naturally liberty loving. The first
immigrants came to this country
because of oppression. Their
children have Inherited their love
of liberty. The hundreds of
thousands Of immigrants who have
come here came because things
were better in America that at the
old home. There is no danger of
making militarists out of a nation
of l20 million people.
Let US observe National Defense
Test Day. Let us keep our
muscles flexible, strong and
supple Let US keep our body,
the United States, clean and
strong. The rest of the world may
respect and admire, but need not
fear.

Homestead Rights

All'Indians are given the same
right as native born white citizens
in taking homestcads, by the Act
of June 2, 1924, which gave them
all full citizenship. This fact was
developed through an inquiry by
Gideon Bluecloud, Sisseton
Sioux, at the Crookston land Office,
which was referred to Washing
ton for a decision. Bluecloud and
a number of other Sioux expect tu

Hon. Joseph w. Latimer,
30 w. 85th., New York, N. Y.
Dear Mr.. Latimer:
Once gaain, have come in close
contact with that atrocious institu-
tion, The Indian Bureau. am
so horrified that l can scarcely
write coherently about it.
A few days ago, Chief Billy
Mason of Taholah, grandson of old
Chief Taholah who made the first
treaty with the whites, came into
my Office IN deep distress. His
wife, Amy, was very sick. She
must 60 to q hospital at once. The
chief had no money with which to
pay her hospital fees and for med
ical attendance.
Amy had had a considerable lot
of property in her own right and
Chief Billy thought that he could
20 to the Indian Bureau and get
5000 for her hospital fees. The
Indian Agent told him that Amy
had between seven and eight
thousand dollars coming to her.
but as he stated, refused to make
any provision for her expenses.
l Immediately called the Indian
Office and got the Indian Agent on
the phone. rhe Indian Agent
said, "Yes, Amy has between
seven and eight thousand dollars
coming to her. Her lands have
been sold to a big local timber
Company. Two years ago she got
ten per cent of this amount and D
year from next September she
will get ten per cent MORE"
inquired if there was not some
way that provision could be made
to send Amy to the hospital. mo,
the Indian Bureau could not dc
anything. A year from next Sep
tember, she could have ten pei
cent more on her lands" l in.
quired on what terms the lands had
been sold and the Agent informed
me that they were sold under g
contract whereby the Lumber
Company wss to pay TEN PER
CENT EVERY THREE YEARS,
WITHOUT INTEREST. but,
II said, ''This woman is sick, she is
going tn die. Something must be
done!" The only response the
Agent made to this was, that il
Chief Billy could find anybody te
60 on his note, he perhaps could
borrow the money from some OF
his white friends and the Indian
Bureau, q year from next Sep:em.
Der would. if the proper order was
signed, pay the money on this
note.
l inquired il the Bureau would
guarantee the payment of the note
or if any security could be offered
on Amy's lands. The response
was mo, absolutely not, the Bu-
reau did not guarantee the pay
ment of anything" / inquired i
any advance of 5000 could be OBJ
tanned from tho Lumber Company
which had purchased the lands
and was promptly informed tina
that was impossible, that con
tract was . contract and the Indiar
Bureau would not undertake it

l then prepared 3 note for 5000
and after some persuasion, a few
of the Chiefs old friends signed
the note and he went to the bank
and got the money.

pital at Aberdeen. Thank God!
she died in a clean white hospital
bed, a trained nurse by her side
and the best of medical attention.
Not, however, by reason of any
thing done by the Indian Bureau,
or the Indian Agent or the Lum
ber Company, which has its
clutches on Amy's lands, but
through the efforts of Chief Billy's
old friends who were unwilling to
see his old wife Amy die without
hospital service or medical attend
ance.
we'll remember, many years
ago, when Chief Billy and l we're
young men, almost boys, with
never a thought of a white hair in
either of our heads, that 1, tramp

have not gorgotten, this, and many
other kindnesses.
Chief Billy will pay his note to
the bank. This fall he will catch
and sell a few black salmon and
next spring he will catch few
more blue backs.
Perhaps in twenty seven years
or more, Amy's eight thousand
dollars will be fully and finally
collected. What will become of
this money then9 Amy dosen't
care. She is beyond further care
by the Iodian Bureau. CHIEF Billy
will not care then, because he
already approaches three score.
The Lumber Company doesn' care

In II few days, Chief Billy will
cone into my Office, sink wearily
into my easy chair and we will try
TO talk this matter out. We will
not say much. The Chief doesn't
smile like he used to, and shake
his jolly fat sides with laughter.
We will shake our whitening old
heads, more or less sadly and
helplessly. But our old hearts
will burn and burn with bitter
hatred for this whole accursed
System. Then by and by, the
Chief will arise heavily and 60 out
to take up the burden of life to
catch a few fish and pay off his
note. He will miss Amy.
Don't ever forget, however, that
when Amy's eight thousand dollars
or so, do come in, the Indian Ba
reau will take out its eight per
cent for services rendered." Yes,
and then charge her heirs $50
more for determining who they
are, and if one of them has offend
ed the local agent in any way, be
can and no doubt will, be cut of
without a cent. 1t has been done.
Yours very truly,

COMMISSIONER BURKE PRESENT At
COMMITTEE HEARINGS. (
ChIppeWas' Case Ably Presented by
Attorney Webster BaHinger.

The subcommittee of the Sen
ate Committee on Indian Affairs
that was appointed to make a
thorough inquiry into all Mime
sofa Chippewa matters, and which
has been holding sessions at Be
midi, completed it's work in Min,
nesota the latter part Of last week.

Senators Harreld, Republican of
Oklahoma, Hendricks. Democrat
of Wyoming, and Frazier, Re-
publican of North Dakota. held
hearings last week Tuesday and
Wednesday, and if there was any.

Minnesota Chippewa matters when
they arrived in Minnesota, they
are certainly not in that position
now, for they were completely in.
formed in this regard by the able
representative of the intelligent
class of Chippewas, Mr.. Webster
Ballinger. of Washington, d. G.,
attorney for the Indians. Mr..
Ballinger went over the Chippewa
matters from away back in 1868
up to the present time. He went
carefully over the treaty of, 1889
in detail and pointed out each and
every instance in which the treaty
had been violated by the United
States. Upon invitation, of the
investigating committee Commis-
sioner of Indian Affairs Burke
was present and took exceptions
to many of Mr.. Balltnger's state
ments, as was expected by all.
The commissioner claimed that the
estimates placed by Mr.. Ballinger
on the amount in claims that the
Chippewas have against the gov
ernment was entirely too high.
The so.called fullblood faction,
represented by James l, Coffey
and others, were strongly in evi.
dence at the hearings and their
arguments were about on the same
lines as they always are, namely:
that they are perfectly satisfied
with the manner in which the In
dian Bureau is administering their
affairs, etc. In this they were no
doubt prepared by certain en-
ployees of the Indian Bureau in
order to deceive The committee.
These employees who, as employ
ees in the Indian Service, have no
right whatever to take any part
whatever in Indian councils ac-
cording to a recent official order
from the Civil Service Commission
unless they want to be Immediate
ly discharged from the service,

couraged to create factional spite

Of Chippewss, were very, very
busy just prior to the committees
visit to this state, with the result
that, as stated, the so called full
bloods are very much in sympathy
with the Indian Bureau and its
administration OF their affairs.
After many years of sitting on
the side lines and watching the
controversy between the Chippe
was and the government, we have
come to the conclusion that the
only possible solution to the
problem, and which we believe the
committee should seriously con
slider, is to segregate the funds of
the tribe and pay the intelligent,
competent class their per capita
shares of such, funds and strike
