Well, I'm glad to be able to state
that the big snow storm in Rabbitland
is over as your Uncle Dave sits down
to write this story, and when Lady
Love and Little Jack Rabbit, who had
been forced to spend the night with
Cousin Cottontail, looked out of the
window the next morning, Mr.. Merry
Sun was shining down from the sky
on the white-coyered earth. All of q
sudden they heard whinny. and open
ing the door, there stood the Old
Brown Horse hitched up to the red
sleigh.
Rather cold last night in the old
log hut he explained, with a whisk
of his tail. II must get back to my
stable in Rabbitville. But I'll take
Lady Love and Little Jack home to
the Bramble Patch. Snow is pretty
deep for little rabbits"
We'll be out in jiffy." laughed
Lady Love, and pretty soon, just in a
little while, she and her bunny boy
We're seated in the red sleigh. Come
to visit us as soon as Cousin Cotton
tail will let you co. cried Lady Love
to Uncle John Hare.
"Of course 1 WILL" answered the
old gentleman rabbit, waving his paw
maybe I'll visit Uncle Lucky If ]
have time
Then off trotted the Old Brown
Horse across the Pleasant Meadow and
down the hillside to the dear Old
Bramb1e Patch, where out hoped the
two little rabbits and with THANK
you, kind Brown Horse" they hoped
up the little winding path through the
bushes to the tiny white bungalow. 81
hope nobody has broken in while we've
been away" sighed Lady Love, as she
turned the key in the kitchen door.
But nobody had. Everything was in
apple-pie order, and the moment the
little rabbits hoped over the door-sill
the Three Merry Grasshoppers began
to fiddle and Tiny Miss Cricket to chirp
pretty music.
'"rhe little Dummies have come home,
We're glad they did no longer roam
For lonesome was the bungalow
While they were far across the snow. "
Well, we're glad to be home again,
laughed pretty Lady Love. hanging UP
her bonnet with the pretty ribbons on
it, And 7 hope dear Uncle John Hare

YET UNHEALTHY FOR INDIANS

As most are aware, many Indians
come into wealth through discovery
Of oil on their holdings. also that not
a few of them have no idea how to
conserve or use that wealth wisely.
Naturally enough they are sought
by the leeches and bled white if
possible.
Just how these Indians may be
protected in their new-found pos
sessions is a puzzling question. In
some instances the methods of rob-
=. bling the Indian indicate a sense of
security on the part of the robbers,
law nor conscience interfere, 1t
seems. Indian Truth, the publication
issued by the Indian Rights Associa-
ton declares: wholesale murder
describes the killing of seventeen
Usage Indians which occurred within
q few months, in an effort to concen-
trate, through the line Of descent,
several large estates" Xxx
IF all the truth could be told of
the cold FLOODED and calculating
means employed in these seventeen
killings, 1t would make fiction seem
tame. A heavy charge Of high ex-
plosive put under the house Of a
wealthy Indian sent three sleeping
people into eternity without the
slightest warning. Another Indian.
whose life had been insured for $685.
600 in favor of white man, was
found dead from bullet through his
head within three months after the
policy was issued
AN assistant attorney general,
who Is directing the official inquiry,
recently stated to the Associated
Press: Before this probe is COM
pleted the entire United States will
be astounded by the revelations"
The statements in Indian Truth
would seem to bear him out 1t is
interesting to read eulogies on the
great open spaces of the West, but
such evidence as this indicates that
some of the inhabitants have not
done their share to make those
spaces desirable places in which to
live.

THERE MAY BE A KIcK.sAcK

There have been in the United
States Senate seemingly desperate
efforts to cause reaction against
the World Court. The dominant in
tellect Of the opposition failed to con-
vince. Mr.. Borah's arguments con-
veyed little il anything new and were
seen to be based on premises that
have been shown to be false. 1t is
hardly credible that the opponents
have been withholding their am
munition, that they have any strong
er objections than those they have
presented. In that view Of it their
case Is seen to be weak one. And
this view is supported by the fill
clustering tactics to which they re-
sort. 1t is useless for Senator Borah
to assume an air Of sanctity and de-
clare that he Is not in favor of
filibustering, when his supporters are
resorting to it. We think that will
be a general impression.
The plight of the fellow who dig
ged pit for his brother and fell in
to it himself may be that Of those
who are filibustering against the
World Court. They have had ample
opportunity in which to present fully
all the objections Of which they are
capable. Delay simply means that
they hope, by way of dickering and
propaganda from sources that are
available to some of the leaders and
that appear to have a whip-hand OF
certain of the members, finally to de-
feat the measure.
If the opponents Of the measure
had not had ample opportunity to
present and discuss their side. if the
proposition had not been before the
public mind over a long period and
subjected to all the scrutiny that
could possibly be essential, all the
criticism of which the irreconcilables
are capable, there might be excuse
for some of the tactics now employ
ed by the opposition. We do not be-
lieve such excuse exists under the
circum stances. We do not believe
the public will regard the excuses
good. or will be satisfied to have
their income taxes made football
in the arena. 1t is more than pos
sible that the opponents vii
eventually get the full force OF any
reaction there may be.

Investigate Hanging of Dog

The hanging of a dog on the out
skirts of the town. on the Ripley
road, is being investigated by HUI
name officer. Charles Fl. Fish, whose
attention to the matter was called by
people driving over the highway. the
dogs body being plainly seen from
the road.
Officer Fish found that the dog,
a good specimen of Airdale, had been
hung with slip moose about his
neck. and other end of the rope be-
ing tied to a tree which had been
bent over and allowed to spring back
after the moose had been attached
to the unfortunate dogs neck The
body was cut down and buried by the
officer.
The matter has aroused indigna-
ton among those acquainted with
the details

REMINDER OF APPROACHING

Portland didn't really want the Re-
publican State convention this year
but we may be assured she will prove
as hospitable as ever in the past. It
doubtless will be a largely attended
and enthusiastic convention. 1t should
be.
II achievement maketh the heart
glad then should the hearts of Re-
publicans be lifted up and that occas-
ion at Portland will be mighty 1T
ting one for such a demonstration
William Tudor Gardiner, who has
been chosen to preside, may be de-
pended upon to do it as successfully
as he performed the duties of Speaker
Of the Maine House, when everybody
agreed he did an excellent Job.
