J. Hagerman, special commissioner of the United States) Indian service. His statements have drawn fire frequently and recently he and Senator Frazier of North Da- kota were engaged in a heated con-/ troversy. | In a confidential report filed re- cently with the secretary of the in-| terior, Commissioner Hagerman de-| clares that no Indian policy can suc-| ceed “unless its objectives are first clearly defined and unless, when they are so defined and agreed upon,”| there is real cooperation between the! various branches of the federal gov- ernment His conclusions can be summed up| in the following: | “The greatest difficulty now | met by the men in the field 1s that we don’t quite know always what we are aiming at, and when | we do, somebody raises a big row and upsets the applecart, no mat- | ter what or how sound the pl H of procedure are that are passed down to us by our superiors in Washington.

This may be inevitable | in major political issues, but it 1s not really conducive to the best achievements in such a human problem as the Indian question. In other words, we should keep the Indian question out of poli- tics.” The Indians’ main remaining re-| source, he points out, is grazing land} and Commissioner Hagerman recom-) mends that the federal government| give them the exclusive use of as large areas as is possibly with fairness to the states.’ To conserve large ranging areas there must be an intelligent con-! servation program. This step 1s strongly recommended in the report.) He makes a strong plea to retain! the customs and crafts of the Indian| if for no other reason than the emo-| tional appeal of such an endeavor. | Hagerman declares that such is the| Indian's life and that he has little; or no interest in ours. | There is a hint in the report which| might be used by local boosters in| building up the Bismarck Indian| school. The commissioner points out. that a lot of Indian children sent to| distant schools get “awfully home-| sick.” This can be remedied by build- ing schools close to important reserva- tions. That is the point Commissioner| Hagerman makes. There is an ex-/ cellent opportunity to follow such a! policy in enlarging the local Indian school for it is admirably located to serve several reservations. It has been the policy of the Indian de- partment in the past to send chil- dren far from their homes to school. Commissioner Hagerman is right in urging the better use of the so-called| “border school” close to the reserva- tion. Tt would seem a logical conclusion that the commissioner makes when he writes: “One thing might be said about Indians, and that is that they onsisten’ man and his civilization never reached the North American con- tinent at all. But the best of the Indians are thinking things igh. While they still dream They want to conform but not to amalgamate, to adjust but destroy.” be mentally awake.

They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies. Fine Example (New York World-Telegram) Well worth the front page yester- day was the action of a New York attorney, Jacob Brenner, who tefore County Judge Franklin Teylor, of} Brooklyn, entered a plea of guilty for} his client charged with robbery. Law! Brenner declared his belief! that the accused might be acquitted| at a trial. But said the lawyer: | “I am satisfied he is guilty and that punishment of him would be for the best interests not only of society but of himszlf.” The client did not cbject to the! plea. Here is a member of the bar with| a high sense of his duty to society and justice, as an officer of the court,| as well as of his duty to his client. Here is a member of the bar who takes as something more than mere| words the ethical canons of his pro- fession when they say: “The responsibility for advis- ing questionable transactions, for bringing questionable suits, for urging questionable defenses, is the lawyer's responsibility. He cannot escape it by urging as an excuse that he is culy following his client's instruction: Federal Judge Hopkins of Kansas, who has been holding court here inj Z New York this summer, said recently that “if a lawyer knows absoli'-ly that his client is guilty it is his duty to advise him to enter a plea of guilty.” If the client rejects the advice and insists on trial, “then the lawyer should act to the best of his soy: in seeing that he has a fair trial.” Many lawyers will think this too downright and sweeping. Many law- yers will disagree with their eminent, fellow member of the bar, John God- frey Saxe, when he says that “if law- yers would use the short cuts already] ~ available to them there would not be 30 much need for new reforms: in legal procedure.” Many lawyers are convinced that the whole code of criminal procedure exists primarily to provide loopholes, delays and obstruc- tions by which attorneys may keep clients, however guilty, from getting full justice. We fear many lawyers would never dream of advising a guilty client to Plead guilty so long as he had any money left and the bag of legal tricks Temained unemptied. Current proceedings have cast an unpleasant highlight ‘upon some of those tricks.

His smile was pleas- t, infectious, id you wish to place an ad?” he asked. Norma said that she did. “If you'll just step over to the next counter I'll be glad to take care of it,” the young man said. As? he spoke he moved toward the glass-topped counter at tie left. Norma followed. “It's about a dog,” she explained, opening her purse and fumbling through the contents, “I see. Is your dog lost?” Norma continued the “No,” she said, “it isn’t my dog and I didn’t lose him, It’s a puppy I found. I want to advertise about it because I thought some little boy or girl might bo terribly unhappy over losing a pet. I've written out what I want to say—" She had found what she had been looking for. From the collec- tion of papers, coins, vanity case and other trinkets in the purse she drew a neatly typed sheet. “Here it is!” She handed the Paper across the counter. “Do you think what I've written will be all right?” Politely the young man studied the page. He read: “Found: Puppy at Broad St. and Eighth. Gray and brown with black spot over right eye and black tail. Owner should communicate with N. Kent, 9506 Franklin St.” “Gray and brown — with black spot over the right eye,” the youth read aloud. “You don't—er—say what kind of a dog it is, do you?” He glanced up. If there was a hint of amusement in the young man’s eyes his professional manner was impeccable. “Gray and brown,” he repeated, “with a black spot over the right eye.” Norma smiled, shook her head. “T couldn’t cay what kind of a dog it is because I haven't been able to decide. Do you think that’s really necessary? He seems to be sort of a Scotty—only Scotty's don’t have spots, do they? His hair is longish like a Scctty’s but the spots make him look more like a fox terrier. Or maybe a bird dog.

Of course writing want ads was his busi- ness. Ho did that all day long. Norma had never tried to frame an advertisement, She thought her effort was considerably improved by the additions. Norma hurried back to the office of Brooks, Welliver and Brooks, feeling well satisfied with her ven- ture. The advertisement stated that inquirers should telephone be- tween the hours of 6 and 10 p. m. Norma gave the number of the house telephone which all the ten- ants used. She and Chris could not afford a private line. Of course there would be no calls that evening. The advertisement was not to appear until next day. At 5:15 Norma met Chris on a cor- ner mid-way between the buildings where the two girls worked. They boarded a car and rode home. Ata delicatessen shop near the apartment they bought rolls, some slices of cold meat and oranges. As they went about preparation of the evening meal Chris seemed “If it's so complicated as all that,” he suggested, “maybe we'd better let it go.

As soon as the dishes were washed and put away Norma hurried downstairs and returned with the puppy. She gave him a saucer of bread and milk. Then she sat down on the floor to watch him eat.

I haven't been very nice to Bob lately and I wouldn’t want him to think it’s because I’m interested in anyone else. I don’t want to hurt Bob's feelings.” Presently she took the puppy down to his quarters in the base- ment.. There was an old piece of woolen blanket on the floor to make @ warm bed for the dog. Norma left him curled up and eying her mournfully. ‘When she wes back in the apart- ment she heard Chris splashing in the bathtub. By 10:30 both girls were in bed and the lights had been extinguished. eee i iggue first inquiry came much sooner than she had expected. As the girls entered the hallway next evening the slim figure of Bes- sie Hawthorne appeared, silhou- etted against the light in a near apartment. “Oh, Miss Kent—” Bessie called. “Is that you? There’s been a wo- man phoning to ask about the dog. The first time she asked for you and the second time she wanted to know if she could leave a message. She safd it was about the advertise- ment in The Press—"” . “Does she think the pappy is hers?” “Well—I guess that’s why she called but I think she must be mis- taken. She wanted to know was it @ bull dog and I told her no, Then she wanted to know how big it was, It seems this dog she lost was a bull dog and I don’t think she liked it much when I told her the one here was just a little pup- Dy.” Norma laughed. “I agree with you,” she said, “I don’t think we have her dog.” Chris had been listening, mount- ed on the first stair. She spoke up now. “At that you took a risk, Bessie—saying the pup wasn’t a bull dog. I'd hate to make a bet on that dog’s ancestry!” Bessie considered this remark seriously and glanced toward Norma. “Chris. doesn’t mean a thing,” the younger girl explained quickly. “She’s.just teasing. I hope you're not going to be bothered by a lot of calls, Bessie. The ad told people to call between 6 and 10 p. m. when T’d be here to answer—” “Oh, I don’t mind. Anyhow this woman said she might come over later in the evening.” “Then we'd better hurry upstairs and get dinner over so we'll be ready to talk to her, Thanks, Bes- sie.” “That's all right, Miss Kent.” Chops were broiled hastily. Nor- ma made a salad of tomatoes dnd lettuce and ronnaise. There was pudding in the ice box left from the night before. “There's no use rushing so for that woman,” Chris reminded Nor- ma as they sat down at the table. ‘It’s certain you don’t have her dog.” “No. come.” It was at that moment that the But somebody else may where!” She added, “It’s certainly not because you don’t have plenty of chances!

She had supposed it was the telephone but at the foot of the stairs she met Bessie. “It’s @ man,” Bessie said ina hushed voice, “to see you.’ ‘The door of the vestibule stood ajar but Norma could not see who ‘was waiting. She stepped forward, pulled the door back.
