Minnesota. on Friday, December
2Sth, 1923, at which we're repre-
senSatives from the White Earth,

resolutions are along the same line
as the action taken by the White
Earth local council. The resolu.
tions follow:
RESOLUTION.
WHEREAS, since the inception
of the General Council of Chippe
wa Indians of Minnesota, the Chip
pewa Indians have consistently
maintained that there WAS due and
owing to the said Chippewa In
dams from the United States some
twenty to thirty millions of dollars
on account of unfullfi!lled treaty
stipulations and for damages for
the failure of the Government to
carry out the provisions of the
Act of January 14th, 1889;
And whereas the Indiah Bureau
has taken the position that there
has been NO violations of the
agreements with the Chippewas
and that the Government owed the
Indians nothing;
And whereas the said Indian
Bureau now comedies that the
Government owes the Chippewa
Indians approximately four million
dollars and have at their request
caused the introduction by Con-
gressman Harold Knutson of the
following Bills, towit; H. R. "a,
H. K. 25, H. r. 26, H. r. 27, and
H. R. %.
And whereas the said Bills deal
with only a partial settlement of
the Chippewa estate and endeavors
to settle for some four million
dollars an Indebtedness of from
twenty to thirty million dollars;
NOW, therefore, be it resolved,
by the joint meeting of the Execu,
tive and Legislative Committees
of the General Council OF Chippe-
wa Indians of Minnesota, at Be
midi, Minnesota, this 28th day of
December, 1928, that H. R. 25, is
not for the interest of all the Chip
pewa Indians of Minnesota, is the
taking away of the common prop
erty of all the Chippewas aud the
comforting of it upon the few and
therefore should not become law.
Be It Further Resolved, that H.
X. "a, H. r. 26, H. r. 81 and H.
r. % should be amended SO that
the appropriations named in said
Bills, shall be made and applied
upon account and not to operate

The PllgllmS made up their minds to leave England and seek Holnes i'll Holland, where they knew they could worship God as they pleased.
 The English people liked the Dutch people, and they married, and when they got baby he would learn to speak Dutch. Tn ey were treated good in Holland, but they wanted their children to speak English. so they plann eu to come to America. There were one hundred people on the boat.

They left England because the king was trying to make the people believe as he did. After a while they went to Holland wh ere they could worship God as they pleased. But the English people did not like their children to be like the Holland people. Tn at is the reason they went to America. There were 1O1 when they left but when they got there there were 1O2, because there was baby born on the way. Tn ey left Sept 2l, 1920, and when they got there it was Sept $, 1920. They did not have much to eat the first winter.
 The first Thanksgiving din ner was 1923. They invited the Indians and had feast, because their harvest was good.

 After a while the Pilgrims got tired of the kings worship So they went to Holland where they could worship their own way.

An EXAMPLE for Our Voters

LOOMING almost upon the eve of our own
I great referendum, the British election
has set one example which every Amer
lean citizen should take to heart From the
returns thus far complete it appears that
fifteen million, four hundred and ifty-one
thousand, five hundred and forty persons
have voted out of a possible electorate of
nineteen million, two hundred and seventy
six thousand, three hundred and ffty-nine.
If we this side of the water were given
to mastering as representative a number of
votes to the determination of important
issues, there would be far less ground for
complaint about the rule of minorities. In
town. county, state and national elections
alike We are all too prone to shrk our duty
and forego our privilege at the ballot box
Notwithstanding that it is the source of gov
eminent and the safeguard of freedom. The
prime obligation of citizenship is to cast a
thoughtful and a patriotic vote. To be neg
Hgent Of that is to be unworthy of the
heritage which our forbears purchased with
unreasonable sacrifice and sublime herosm
Let it not be said of Georgia after No
vember the fourth that forty-seven per cent
of her qualified voters failed to exercise
their right and to render theh service which
both party and country are due. Certainly
let it not be said that the Democrats of this
great commonwealth, on whose vote may
hinge consequences of vast import, were
recreant to their faith in an hour of vital
test and inspiring opportunity.

The British Election Results

the recent British elections. Only thus
can we at this distance account for so sweep
ing victory the Conservatives appear to
have won. There no very broad or
the tariff it is true, the old lines between
free traders and protectionists were tightly
drawn; and local matters Of more or less
Importance agitated this or that constitu-
ency. But the Labor government had raised
no novel or far-reaching questions in do
nestle politics. while in the field of foreign
relations its record was in the main, emf
nently constructive At home it had been
anything but radical abroad everything that
was tranquilizing. Yet down it went before
an avalanche of Conservative ballots.
That the governments unfortunate,
though probably innocent relations with the
Moscow communists had a good deal to do
with the volume and vim of the opposition
vote is easily to be read between the lines
OF London news Sovietism is a poor ac-
quaintance and dangerous ally, casting
suspicion upon all who venture to give it
more than perfunctory greeting. Britons
naturally distrusted and resented what
smacked Of Soviet meddling with their po-

popular feeling could react, caught the brunt
of the emotion
Even without this circumstance, however,
1t is likely that there would have been a
political overturn. The position of Labor
In the present House of Commons has been
precarious from the outset. Only by suf-

to hold working majority; and only be-

to let matters drift for while, were the
decisive challenge and test so long deferred.
The moment finally chosen for appeal to the
country was manfestly apt. BY yesterday s
incomplete count the Conservatives showed
a gain of one hundred and forty-three seats
and majority sufficient to rule as we'll as

Much more striking than the reverse of
the Labor party is what appears to be al
most the rout of the Liberals While Labor
lost forty seats, it polled a larger vote than
in the last general election and fell behind
first place by only some two million. But
the Liberals lost one hundred and four
seats, retaining only some t score, and
were upwards of two million three hundred
thousand popular votes behind Labor. Thus

been often dominant in British politics for
ninety-one years is reduced to remnant
