THE WOMEN S CLUBS TO THE
RESCUE
One hopeful sign on the hori
zon is the awakening public in
terest. Especially the • growing
indignation of American women.
It was women—the Federated
Women’s Clubs—who, in 1921,
first launched an attack on the
maladministration of Indian af
fairs. They fought a gorgeous
battle. They made history. It
was partly due to their unremit
ting warfare, under the leader
ship of Mrs. Stella M. Atwood,
that the Bursom and Lcnroot
bills were defeated. These bills
would have deprived the Pueblo
Indians of the land necessary
to maintain their continued ex
istence and have handed it over
without compensation to white
settlers. The Indian Bureau
sponsored and promoted these
bills.
The women helped, too, to de
feat the scandalous “Indian oil
bill” of 192G, which 'would have
destroyed the Indian ownership
of 22,000.000 a^rcs of reservation
land. This bill, endorsed by the
Indian Bureau, would have
made a gift of 37 1-2 per cent of
die Indian oil royalties from
this entire area to the States
.vhere the reservations are lo
cated. The white oil lessors
vould have escaped without any
:axation.
Other public-spirited women
ire working today through the
League of Women Voters. In
several States this organization
,s doing a wonderful job. Leag
ues have been organized on some
reservations; and the Indian
//omen members are being help
ed to battle for better conditions.

“All the Wisconsin Indians are
plucked clean,’ save the Me
aominees,” is the sad, yet indig
lant statement cf Mrs. O. J. Lit
,le, of Stone Lake, Wis. Mrs.

ment of Indian welfare of the
Wisconsin League of Women
Vermeil Voters. “And nowT the
vlenominees are making the

n spite of the assistance given

iut its plans.

The Pueblo Indians of New
Mexico, as this article goes to
Dress, are facing a desperate cri
sis. Because of a contract made
Detween the Interior Depart
ment and the middle Rio Grande
Donservancy district, these six
tribes have just been loaded
down with a charge of $825,938,
for flood-control works needed
by the city of Albuqurque and
other towns on the Rio Grande,
but of no advantage to the Pueb
los—the payments to begin im
mediately upon completion of
the project.
This raid is regarded as so
outrageous by Louis Marshal,
the eminent constitutional law

the hays of heal men
Do you remember dear Sour
dough? The miner’s . meetings
of long ago? Say in ’97, whefi
our little towns on the Yukon
had no Court House or jail; no
post office, church, schools, ho
tels, or dog pound; no rules, re
gulations, or written law; no
marshal, sheriff, or “prohibition
keyhole sleuths,” no dentist,
doctor, lawyer, priest or preach
er. When the Sourdoughs had.
”0 taxes to pay. Tn those happ\
by gone days there was no mur
der, stealing, or dishonesty and
right was right and wrong was!
wrong and each individual un
derstood it. Here life, property,
and honor were safe. Justice
v.as swift and sure, and punish
ments were made to fit the case.
Yes, life was wild but men were
square and honest. The verdict
of the Miner’s Meetings was final
and no money was involved on
either side for court expenses.
The miners or men calling these
meetings posted a notice stating
what it was called for, and it was
usually held immediately. A
chairman, who acted as judge j
and clerk oi the dourt to take
the minutes, were chosen. Then
(he plaintiff stated his case and
produced witnesses, and the de
fendant replied and produced
his witnesses. In these trials the
past reputation of a witness and
oometimes of a principal were
.nought up: that is. if a man was
•mown to be a liar or a truthful
man, his statements were ac-1
jcpted accordingly. After the
witnesses had been produced
. nd examined, anyone in the
worn could asx. questions. A.
one end the case was summed up
oy the Chairman and ns meric
discussed by anyone who wisheu
uo do so. When everyone was
talked out, a division of tht,
house was called for; the verdict
si' the majority was then accept
ed by the onairman, and uiat
was The Ena.
Alter the gold rush of ’93, con
ditions In the Yukon River min
ing camps cnanged. Civilization
with its religion, laws, disorder,
stealing, education, muraer, li
ars, frauds, social life, commer
cial vice, comforts and broiien
pledges, crept in; justice cost
money and disease raged. Rut
before ’93, life ana property were
safe at our miner’s meetings. No
iirearms were carried by the
Sourdough for protection; no
prayers were said for the dead;
out money was raised for the
widow. The Indians were treat
ed fairly and squarely and were
honest, as no liquor was sold to
them. A man could be Wet, or
Dry, as he liked, and there were
as many dries as in any other
community. Every man had a
right to his own opinion, and
was not taunted or shot in the
back for them if he did not try
to force them on others. There
were no hypocrites on the Yukon
in those days. No preachers,
priests, doctors, lawyers, jails,
Court Houses, taxes, or “prohib
ition keyhole sleuths.” There was
no need of them. Such was Al
aska on the Yukon. The last
stand of the “Sourdough Min
er’s Meetings.”

JUST LIKE FATHER

Little Willie was going fo a
party. “Now Willie,” cautioned
liis mother, “if you are offered a
second piece of cake you must
refuse, as it would not be polite
to take two.”
When the child returned she
asked if he had obeyed her in
structions.
“Oh, yes,” he replied proudly.
“When they offered it to me I
said ‘Take that damn stuff away,’
just the same as father does,”—•
American Legion Monthly.
MITIGATED CIRCUMSTANC ES
, “I’m going to arrest you,” an
jnounced the traffic cop, “on
; three charges—speeding, passing
i red light, and failing to stop
when I first blew my whistle.”
The offending motorist paled
visibly. But before he could
I offer any extenuation of his
! conduct, a lady leaned over from

“Don’t pay any attention to
my husband. Officer,” she said
; easily. “He’s drunk.”
