all the British provinces in North
America and so build a nation. 1t was
to possess a republican form of gov
eminent. The Catholic religion was
to be recognized in the constitution
as the faith of the people, but there
was to be a reputation of the author
ity of Rome. Riel was to head this
unique experiment. but 1t Is only just
to add my conviction that personal
tive of Louis Riel, and that there was
no taint Of self-seeking. in his efforts
for freedom, justice and humanity"
Story of Louis Riel
Louis Riel's father was full-blood-
ed Scandinavian, and his mother part
ly Irish and partly Indian. He was
born at st. Boniface, five miles from
Winnipeg. Destined for the priesthood
from his birth, after his schooling at
his birthplace he was sent to the Jesuit
college at Montreal. There he was not
ed for his diligence and proficiency in
his studies. He was master of Latin,
French and English, and later learned
four Indian languages. He left col
lege, however, without taking orders IN
priesthood
In 1869 when the Hudson,s Bay COM
pany surrendered Manitoba and the
Northwest Territory to the Dominion
government, the han-breedS were louu
in their expression of discomfort They
alleged that they had no assurance
that they would be protected in pos
session of their farms, and therein, at
least, their cause was founded IN JUS
tice. Soon they assumed an attitude OF
open revolt and organized a republic
with a provisional government, at the
head of which was Riel
Riel demanded for his constituents
fair representation in the Dominion
parliament, a provincial legislature,
local lf-government, the official use
of both the French and English Ian
guages, land grants for the parochial
schools and public improvements, q
free homestead law and the issuance
of patents to settlers for their respec-
tive holdings. While Riel is commonly
classed as a visionary, and sometimes
as a madman, it is difficult to find
anything In these demands that is eX-
tremelv unreasonable or impracticable.
Riel led the revolt with dauntless
vigor and untiring energy. Seizing Fort
Garry, he speedily established the
authority of the insurrectionary gov
eminent throughout the province. A
Canadian, Thomas Scott, who defied
Riels authority, was sentenced to
death and executed.
Archbishop Tache, who enjoyed the
confidence and affection of the in

, surgents, visited Fort Garry. and by
liberal promises of clemency created a
more conciliatory sentiment. In the
meantime the Dominion government
had sent Colonel Garnet WolSey, later
field marshal and commanders -chief
of the British army, to suppress Riel
and his followers, but the soldiers did
not reach Manitoba until August, 1870.
In the meantime the Dominion gov
eminent had passed the Manitoba act,
which admitted that province into the
confederation of provinces with a local
self government, representation in par
lament and made provision to recog-
nize the rights of the half-breeds to
their lands. Nearly all of the demands
of the rebels were conceded, and when
the Wolsey expedition reached the
province, the provincial government
had melted away and Riel had fled
to Montana.
In 1874, at the general election. Riel,
although a fugitive in Montana, was
elected to parliament for the district of
Provencher in Manitoba. and notwith-
standing that there was an indictment
he went secretly to Ottawa, where by
means that have never been explained
he took oath and signed the roll, but
thereupon returned to Montana.
Parliament met and expelled him, a
new election being ordered. Riel was
so strong with his people that he was
reelected, but was again expelled. This
time, however, an order was made that
he should be granted a pardon after
five years of exile should have expired
In 1879 he settled again in Montana,
where he taught school at the Catholic
mission on Sun river, at times joining
breeds to hunt buffalo. During
these years he lived In extreme pow
erty.
The uprising in Saskatchewan was
similar in its cause to that IN Mani
toba in 1869. The Dominion had grant
ed to every half-breed in Manitoba 240
acres Of land, but no such concession
had been made to those in other prov
inces. Other grievances existed among
the half-breeds, and when Riel went
among them in the fall of 1884 at their
request, it Is conceded by Canadian his
torians that he spoke with moderation
and advised only pacific measures. His
bill OF rights called for 0) the division
of the Northwest Territories into prov
inces; (2) the half-breeds to receive
the same grants and other advantages
as those in Manitoba; CD patents to
be issued at once to the colonists in
possession of lands; "a the sale Of
lands to establish schools hospitals,
and to provide the poor with seed and

implements for farming; (5) reserva-
ton of certain swamp lands for dis
tribution among the children of half
breeds; (6) grant of at least ST 900
in aid of an institution to be conduct
ed by the nuns in each half-breed set
tlement; and Cd more liberal provision
for the Indians.
Rieps petition having been thrown
aside by the government, he assumed
aggressive tactics. Believing that Eng
land was about to go to war with Rus
sia, he proclaimed himself 1.-THE Lib
orator." and established inSurrection
headquarters at Batoche.
Riel displayed genuine genius for
rebellion. He provided a commissariat
for the insurgents, selected strategical
points for occupancy by his troops,
and in the person of Gabriel Dumont,
chose a man of rare natural gifts as
a military commander. Some fighting
followed, in which the half breeds bat
tied fiercely, but they were unable to
resist the trained forces that they en-
countered. Riel was not directly re-
sponsible for the massacre at Frogs
lake, where a civilian settlement was
murdered by the Indians.
The leader of the Indians at Frog S
lake was Big Bear, chief of a renegade
band of Crees and ChippeWas. Little

Bear, his son, and some Of the Indians
who took part In the revolution, are
shown in the picture accompanying
this article.
After a few hard-fought battles the
rebellion was suppressed and Riel gave
himself up as a prisoner Of war. He
was tried for treason at Regina The
counsel from remote parts of the do
minion Riel's attorney made a plea
of insanity, which he, himself, scorn-
fully repudiated. He was convicted, and
on the 18th of October was hanged.
On the scaffold he bore himself with
dignity, and protested to the last that
he had acted in fullfillment Of a mis-
sion.

And the fellow who's so dumb
he's Republican, or so crazy
he's a Democrat? Well, buddy,
you've got them right where you
want them-on the ball field.
What better chance to follow
that good old American custom
of tellin' 'em just what you
think? Maybe, since the man
in politics always aims to oblige,
that's why you get this chance.
There's really a serious reason
and that is the occasion of the
annual YMCA sponsored ball
game to give the underprivileged
boys in the Y Boys athletic
leagues a banquet and trophies
at the end of the season of
healthy playing.
To insure some real baseball
along with the fun there are two
games planned. The first one of
three innings will be played be-
tween Republican and Democra-
tic office holders and candidates
(here's where the judges can be
yelled at) this game to be fol-
lowed by a seven inning game
between representatives of the
Democratic and Republican
clubs of Licking county. The men
playing in this game must be
over thirty. Robert Evans and
T.. < Lockwood head the Y
committee.
The game will be played, Sun
day, Sept. with all the proceeds
going to the Y to give the boys
a real banquet in the fall.
Members Of the committees
are:
Publicity, Ed Schrack, Oscar
Juchs and Paul Fulks. Three in
ming game, Arch Davis, William
Greiser and Bud Stare.
Seven inning game, Walter
Welch, Democrats; Ted Helser,
Republicans.
