Only a part of the Chippewa In- dian treaty is binding is the opinion df no less authority than Dr. Charles A. Eastman, author, ethnologist and foremost authority on the American Indian, who lectured at International Falls recently. Dr. Eastman, who is a full blooded Sioux Indian, stated in his opinion the troubles arising over the liquor prohibition provisions of the Indian treaty will soon adjust themselves. The doctor declares that only a part of the Chippswas signed the treaty and that it is binding only on them and not on all Indians. He cared for the interests of the Indian tribes at Washington, D.

Undtr the Present conditions a postmaster . is appointed on the recommendation of his congressman, and the congress- man usually picks the man who can bring the most grist to his mill in the election to follow. The appoin- tee’s qualifications for the position are not considered in the least, but his ability as a politican and a vote herder is. The appointment under the civil service rule would be for life, or until removed for cause, and that would be better than the pre- sent system, whereby there comes a new officer with every changing ad-| ministration. And, too, it would be congressman ently this opinion should bear weight coming from a man who thoroughly | understands the situation. | ———________ | | Few if any people in Cass Lake | ¢ knew that at the time of Sero-Davis | trial here, Indian Officer Way was | pacing up and down in front of the court room with a big gun In his | ;pocket.

A PARABLE. /Orce upon a time, so the story goes, a man who was an ardent play- er of the American game of poker, | passed away, or in poker parlance cashed in his checks, and presented himself at the pearly gates. His credentials being O. K., he was ad- mitted. Everything was lovely the |first week, but the quietmess grew irksome the second week and the in- dividual above referred to requested permission of St. Peter to visit the | He was told if he left he would be unable to again gain admittance, but finally prevailed on the good saint to give him a pass. lower regions, He then sauntered out and while he was taking in the sights, rajn ac- ross some friends who were having : quiet little They greeted him cordially and he was invited to take a hand, but when he explained where he was from and the fact . had no {funds, they ceased their op- portunings ajnd returned to their game. The ardent lover of the gam¢ “sitting.” but soon returned with a big roll of bills and asked for a hand. They asked him where he made the raise and he replied: “I sold my pass.” This reminds us of a Grand Rapids lawyer who took an active part. in the recent primary election, the only difference being that he sold his pass in order to take a hand in dirty politics through the artifices of trickery, falshood and deceit,, al- though Spear long ago sold out any morsel of manhood he may have had. UNDER CIVIL SERVICE RULES. President Taft has issued an order Placing all assistant postmasters un- der the civil service rules, thus tak- ing about eight thousand officers out of politics,, and the move is decid- edly a good one, says the Hibbing Mesaba Ore. \The president also promises to | legitimate business of his office, and went elswhere on his sightseeing trip | will have more time to attend to the if there is dissatisfaction over a post- office appointment he will not have | ‘to bear the brunt of it, as is now | the case. It is likely the congress- men will welcome the change, be- cause it will remove them from a} Many congressmen have had so many post- very disagreeable squabble. office fights on their hands that it} has impaired their usefulness to| their districts, and any native ability | they may have possessed has been | swallowed up in the pulling and hauling resulting from the factional fights they have been drawn into The new order will be an easy one | for the congressmen and an easy one | for the people, for the reason that it will pring into the service a bec- ter class of postmasters and will eliminate the possibility of a figat that usually rends a town asunder, and it will lead to the bettering of the postoffice service throughout the) nation. The assistant postmasters naw in the service will not have to undergo examination in order to hold their jobs—the rule will | start with the assistants employed, but those to come in later will have to pass the prescribed civil service examination. The same rule will apply to postmasters when they come/ under the civil service law, and there is a possibility that many of the postmasters now serving will have life jobs without having to un- dergo the examination. new Jeffries-Johnson Fight Picturcs. The reproduction of the Jeffries- Johnson fight pictures are immense. There was never better fight pictures | taken. The preliminary pictures, showing the sporting celebrities, Mewspaper men, the crowds in the | streets of Reno, famous gambling houses, scenes in the training camps, | etc., are worth more than the fight itself, but all of it is really good, and | any one who sees the pictures, sees | it as much as the man at the ring-| side. In the first place there is no reason for rioting. Joe Gans, George | Dixon, Peter Jackson and other fam- ous negro fighters fought white men time after time. The moving pictures of the Nelson-Gans and other fights | where |white men fought negroes have been shown and no rioting re- sulted. Why should there be with this one. The fight itself shows no brutality. there is no signes of blood or terrific punishment being receiv- ed by Jeffries. It is a hugging match all through the fight and Jefferies is simply worp down and beaten in the fifteenth round. Great Northern Installing Phones Telephones to take the place of the telegraph instruments are being in stalled by nearly all railroads and the Great Northern has recently completed equiping the Duluth-Grand Forks division with ‘phones. They will be used exclusively for train or- der work. The telegraph instruments will not be taken out, however, but will be used for Western Union and other wire work. E. J. Little, sup- erintendent of telegraph, and a Ss. Stewart, ‘superintendent of the Mesa- ba and Superior div- ision were here Friday while on a tour of inspection of the new railroad telephone fine, It is thought this new departure will in time have the effect of decreasing the salaries of the knights of the key.

An adjourned meeting of the vil- lage council was held Friday even recommend to congress that all third and second class postmasters be also placed under civil service rule, and that would be the very best ing, the only business transacted be- img the granting of liquor license transfer from A.
