IN HE summer colonies in which
women have part are of three
kinds. There is the family or
Il mixed camp in which numerous
women and children and a few
men spend their vacations.
There are two kinds of camps of mere
women, and the number of both these
is surprising when it comes to be noted.
One of them is the camp of working
girls, patronized by young women who
toll in the cities, except for a respite
of a week or two. The other is the
college girls camp-apt to be a travel
ing one. This is unique A band of
young women students at a college or
university plan and execute a walking
tour for the purpose of study. These
are among the most profitable of all
the women campers expeditions. Girls
engaged IN different branches of study
club together their resources and set
out. A teacher goes with them gen
orally and off they tramp to discover
new worlds in the universe of nature
These strong. fine, earnest girls some
times send. their bedding cooking uten-
sis and shelter tents on ahead by
wagon. they themselves taking the road
afoot. One party of Connecticut girl
students, however. carried all their
requirements with them on their shoul-
ders, each her own, like a pioneer
Kiondiker. and slept on the ground at
night upon a blanket, head upon a roll
of clothing Over the camp kettle they
cooked their food bought here and
there al farmhouses on the way
In the daytime the girls stopped at
any locality that promised well for
their scientific researches. The orni-
biologist. informing herself beforehand
of the kinds of birds that haunted the
groves Whereabouts, hied herself to the
woods and sat by the hour. wooing the
wild things. watching their every
movement, sitting so still as not to
frighten them away and learning their
living ways. The botanist textbook
and microscope under arm, wandered
through green lanes ana fields discover
ing and classifying the natural growths
and collecting specimens. The geol-
ogist investigated the rocks and earth
the geometrician took angles and meas

tired, but happy and free, they assem-
bled around their camp fire for such
a supper as no schoolgirl has appetite
for indoors. Then they curled up in

MISS BALFOUR.

Very remarkable is the affection
which exists. between the premier OF
England and his sister, and the infu-
ence that Miss Baffour has had upon
his life can hardly be overes timated-
She has brains, plenty of COMMON sense
and superb Vitality all of which she
devotes TO the service of her brother
much as Mrs. Gladstone devoted herself
to be a helpmeet to her husband.
In common. with many other great
thinkers. Mr. Balfour is somewhat alb
sent minded about matters concerning
his. own health and comfort. and his
political cares leave him little time for
attending to his own private business
affairs. Accordingly Miss Balfour sees
that her brother is not too negligent of
his own creature comforts and relieves
him almost entirely of the management
of the Whittingham estates. She

riage and other uses, and she is an
excellent judge of horsehesh. ..s 80.
In golf of which Mr.. .Balfour is so
fond, his sister is much interested; when
he delighted in cycling she found 1t

with the motor car craze she has ac-
tually learned to drive one of these
fearsome vehicles.

REFRESHING TO THE EYES.

Eyes will be greatly strengthened by
putting the face down into basin or
the eyes into eye cups of water the
first thing in the morning and opening
them in the water. This is rather hard
to do at first. but if the water for two
or three days be tepid and gradually
made colder, until it is no shock to put
the face in very cold water it will soon
become quite easy and is very invigor-

numbering under the act as it now
stands we will see whose statement
illprevail, that of Bernard or
that of the Indians.
Appropos to the statement that
we received more than three thou
sand dollars in legal fees and then
draw attention to the saleries that
are being drawn by officials I'VE
have only to say that this fee rep
resented four years of our time
during the sessions of Congress
and that our employment came to
US not by our solicitation but at
the urgent request of the Indians.
Furthermore, in securing recog-
milton Of the rights TO the Mile
Lac Indians and the payment to
them of the personal damages
they sustained, we performed a
more satisfactory service tor them
than the officials under the Morris
Act who have already been paid
forty thousand dollars and more
without any benefit whatever to
the Indians ana against the wishes
of the later. This issue OF the
TomahawlS contains copy OF the
petition ofthe Whit Earth Indians,
adopted in general council,
against the Morris Act, which we
would advise the editor of the

WORKING FOR THE
NOBLE RED MAN.

Lake Mohawk. n. T., Oct 24.-
The sessions of the Mohonk In
dian conference were continued
yesterday.
Lyman Abbot. on behalf OF the
conference business committee,
offerer the following platform
which was adopted:
In dealing with the Indians the
objects to be accomplished arc no
longer questioned. They are the
abandonment of the reservation
system; discontinuance of Indian
agencies: such ed ucation Of all
Indian children as will fit them
for selfsupport and self govern
ment; access to the courts for the
protection of their rights; amena-
bility to the law in punishment
for their crimes: the same liberty
that white men enjoy; buy, sell,
travel. pay taxes and. enjoy in
good government the benefits by
other taxed citizens, and by these
means a speedy incorporation OF
all Indians, with all the rights OF
citizenship in the American COM
monwealth.
We regard with interest and
hone the recent action of the sec
retary Of the interior opening the
way for religious work Of churches
in connection with government
schools and urge the churches to
cooperate with each other and with
the government in this work.
Resolutions were also passed
commencing the president, the
secretary of the interior and the
attorney general for insituting a
thorough and impartial lnvestlg-
ton of the charges against certain
United States Officials in the Ind
ian Territory. Minneapolis Tri-
bune.
We earnestly hope that the resolu-
tions adopted by the Mohawk Indian
conference will be adopted by the
government, for in this way only can
the Indians reach the goal so much
desired by their friends and them
selves.
Give us unrestricted citizenship and
the right to control our personal
interests and we,have no doubt of our
ability to protect our interests. Cut
out the political leeches that are suck
ing the life out of our tribal interests
and we will be able to get our own,

''S1oP Theft"

A recent issue of the Cass Lake
Voice. A.G, Bernardss paper, con-
tains reply to an article which
was published recently in the
Tomahawk under the title OF =
Questionable Motives. y In this
reply the editor Of the Voice takes
occasion to not only question our
motives relative to the Morris Act,
but also charges us with favoring
the interests of the lumber-men as
against those of the Indians. This
is an old cry Of Bernard,s $ and one
that he and the interests he repre-
sented, the dead and down timber
men, used against us during the
Leech Lake troubles in 1898, but
which did not effect us inthe least
in our efforts to show UP the rot
teness of the whole dead and down
steal, whichevery one,, even Bern
ard, has admitted was wrong.
This old cry Of stop thief = is
worn out and cannot be used any
longer with effect againit us.
The Voice advancesno arguments,
in it's reply, in behalfoft the Morris
Act, but simply confines itself to
abusing US and comparing US with
a . wolf in sleeps clothing and
also, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. which the
editor knows are untrue and in
support of which he cannot bring
forward one iota of evidence.
Whatever may be the opinion of
Bernard regarding our motives
relative tothe Morris Act, we know
that we have the confidence of our
own people in the matter. athing
he cannot say regarding his stand
ing in the community in which he
is now living, or from the several
communities from which he has
removed during the past dozen
years, and especially in Wisconsin
where, his home papers say, he
left his true name and assumed
that by which be is now known.
The readers of the TOMAHAwK
have, since it's first issue, known
our position relative to the Morris
Act, and the publisher OF the
Voiceh as known it since he was at
Washington urging it's passage.
Regarding our motives in opposi-
ton to the act we do not feel called
upon to defend them since we have
the best elements of the reservat-
ion with US in the matter, namely:
every one of the chiefs ministers
and priests. In this connection we
will say, however, that we are as
much interested financially and
otherwise in the outcome OF the
act as any other Indian who is
enrolled with the Minnesota Chip
pewa. Every dollar that is squand-
cred or stolen is as much ours as
theirs. The law gives us this
right. Why, therefore, should
we not take an active part in pro-
tecting our personal interests with
out being accused Of dishonest
motives? 1t does not necessarily
follow that because some of the
Minnesota lumbermen are opposed
to the Morris Act our opposition
or the opposition Of any other
member of the reservations, is
instigated by these lumbermen:
neither are we going to let up on
this opposition until we have fully
shown up what we consider the
crowning act of injustice to the
Chippewas.
Bernard says" there will be no
amendments to the Morris law for
several years. 1t will be through
w tried and whatever of weak
ness is found in It will be changed
when the time comes, by the true
friends of the Indians, and not by
certain lumber interests,
STEAL the horse and lock the barn
afterwards" is evidently what
Bernard wants. We do not know

County Commissioner Contest
Is Still Unsettled.

The contest for the vacancy on the
board of county commissioners has de-
yeioped itself into a three-cornered
nght- The two commissioners. Harri-
Newman have power to elect a sue
cessor to the late Silas Rain. So far
no two have been able to agree
Inc announcement was made Friday
that the vacancy owuld be filled Mon
day morning. Sunday Charles Curtis
arrived in town and the runor at once
started that he desired to name the
commissioner. There was a rush to
that he was neutral. At any rate he
could not get two votes together for
the same man.
When o'clock came it was an
nounced that as all the candidates had
not been given a hearing the election
would be postponed. The real reason,
however. was that the three votes were
scattered and no two could be brought
together. County Clerk Newman an
nounced himself for Frank Stevens, ex-
register of deeds. Commissioner
Haynes was conceded to be for H. NJ
Phillips and Commissioner Harrison
was supposed to be for A B. Quinton.
Up to two o'clock this afternoon no
port. An effort was made to advance
w. E. Sterne as the compromise can
didate and it was thought that in case
none of the first three men mentioned
could be elected that Newman would
support Sterne and that another vote,
probably from Harrison, could be Sc
cured.
Haynes stuck to Philips and suggested
that the time for the election be post
poned three weeks This move would be
in favor of Philips, who is now county
officer, and 1t is thought that according
to law he could not be chosen for the pO-
sition of county commissioner Haynes
stuck to Philips although his proposition
did not meet with favor Philips is chair
