Owed to Tribesmen, He

Atlantic City. N. J. The voice
f.f Maj-Gen. Hugh L. Scott, which
spoke with authority in the days
when Indian tribes roamed the great
plains, has just been raised again in
a pia ior justice ior mem
At nn .-ent General Scott writes
"V. S. A., retired, after his omcial
signature, but a quarter of a cen
tury ago there was perhaps no ofli
(cr in the United States Army who
played a more active part in the con
duct of Indian affairs than he.

was given. General Scott's plea now
takes on a different character than
it did in those picturesque days.
Tho need of the Indian now, he be
lieves, is to be safeguard from the
iubunce of national politics, which
have interfered with the proper
functioning of the United States In
dian service.
Wants Politics Abolished
Speaking before tho Friends of
Indians Conference which has just
been held here under the sponsor

Indian cannot be properly requited
unless the Indian service is taken
out of politics.

"The bureau is afflicted by politics '
to too large a degree," he declared.
"It is improperly organized. There is
no system and there is large lack of
funds. The army and the Indian
bureau grew up side by side, not by
any system, but piece meal and under
hapahazad laws. The Spanish War
resulted in reorganization of the
regular army, but the Indian bureau
has remained in the same condition."
Recommendations Adopted

Do a Great Work
From Wednesday's Dally
The committee composed of Mrs.
C. A. Rosenerans, S. W. Bell and A.
H. Duxbury, with V.. G. Kieck as
the general chairman, which had
charge of the handling of the Christ
mas baskets for the various lodges.
societies and church organizations of
the city, had a real task on Sunday
and Monday in getting lined up on
the preparation of the baskets and
the distribution of these among
those who were most in need.
There were some sixty-seven of
the baskets arranged and to provide
which the generous people of the
city representing practically all of
the organizations of the community
had joined in making possible. By
the vote of the representatives of
the various organizations it was de
cided that the distribution could
best be handled by the creation of
a central organization and in which
the Red Cro.s was deemed the most
logical of the various societies to
head the move with the Elks and
the American Legion being assotiat-
ed in the actual distribution work
and all of the other organizations
getting behind 'the move and supply-!
ing their donations and funds to aid
the work.
The rsult of the effort was most
successful and Dr. O. Sandin, who
was personally handling the giving
out of the baskets was able to reach
many homes and do a real practical
good on the Christmas day and one
that made possible a great deal more
of a brighter Christmas for the resi
dents of the city.

coming, however, from those who
will make the selection of a coach
that he will be the new mentor.
