LUMBERMEN and THE CHIP
PEWAS VS.. The MORRIS
ACT.
EACH DESIRE IL EhyE IT AMENDED.

1t is very evident that the lum-
bermep in this state are, for some
reason, anxious to secure apost-
ponement of the sale of Chippewa
pine timber. We have it from good
authority that they desire some
amendments made to the act, prin-
cipally that portion which relates
to the burning of tops and other
refuse after the timber has been
cut. They argue that this work
will cost at the rate of two dallars
per thousand, and that this ex-
pense will necessarily come out of
the Indian. for it will have to be
taken into consideration when the
bids for the timber are made; that
the removalof the debris caused
by the cutting of the timber, is
not for the benefit OF the Indians
but for the purpose OF protecting
the forest reserves created by the
act.
The ToMAHAwk has, in the past.
taken occasion to criticise the Nor
ris Act, and it has frequently
pointed out briefly the bad fea-
lures therein.
1t has especially, referred to the
great injustice of taking from the
Indians, arbitrarily, 225, 900 ares
of land and five percent of tho tim
Der thereon. for forestry purposes,
without due compensation to the
Indians therefor.
While this is the principal objec-
ton to the act from the Indian
point Of view, there are other OBJ
jections to it equally as important
to the interest Of the Minnesota
Chippewas, and these arc in regard
to the unlimited number OF big
salaried positions created by the
act. We have always taken the
position that tic act was drawn up
more for the purpose Of creating
soft jobs for politicians than for
the benefit Of the Indians, and this
is also the opinion of the members
of the tribe who have given the
subject any study.
The sale Of Chippewa pine tim
Der this year without compelling
the purchasers of it to cut and re-
move it Immediately, is great
menance to the interests of the In
dians, for if one extension is
granted what guarantee have the
latter that further extensions will
not be given at the expiration of
the first extension. Politics, lum-
bermen and wealth are powerful
and can secure almost any conces-
sions from an administration.
The motives of the lnmbermen
in the opposition to the Morris
Act are undoubtedly personal and
selfish, although they point out the
great injustice of the act to the
Indians.

one of the Duluth newpapes re-

THELMA.
Will be Seen at Heuck's Opera House on
Next Saturday...Matinee
and Night.

This play is now well advanced
in its third successful season, and
has lost none of its power to at
tract by repeated presentation
It is a play of many strongly
drawn scenes, among the most
dramatic and telling being the
tomb scene. y Corelli is noted
for her conception of weird char
acters and is an adept in surround
ing them with atmosphere suitable
to the theme on which she builds
and suitable to the type she draws.
We are given all the assurance of
the management of the attraction
that the several players to be seen
shall fully meet all of the exacting
requirements of the play, and the
cast is said to be much superior to
that of former years.

COLLAPSE OF PROSPERITY.
Stepped and Industrial Out
look DiscouraginE.

The hellowness and fickleness of
our present so-called prosperity are be-
coming apparent. Its delicacy and
nnsoundness are now being admitted
by the many textile manufacturers in
Philadelphia Nearly 100000 of their
employees are on strike for shorter
hours and some of them also for high
o. wages. The textile workers think It
only fair that they should get small
share q the great prosperity which
they have been hearing and reading
about fer so many years. They are
now being told that it is too late and;
that not only are the manufacturers
not making the profits they made .
few years ago. but that the outlook for
the fstures & bad. The following Is

II IL not nearly as easy as it was to

manufacturers are also confronted by
che fact that the general financial and
Industrial outlook p At present far

evidence that rctailers throughout
the country are overlooked, and the
fear naturally exists that this means
lesssned opportunities for disposing

goods of any sort, until his present
stock was considerably reduced, and
he is said to have told a business asso-
ciate that he did not care to stock
uhead until the future was clearer.
The Philadelphia textile operatives
arc probably not conversant enough
With the general financial and indus

pfsciste the manufacturer point of
view. Tho manufacturers cannot be
governed entirely by the factors Of the

70 FOOL The PEOPLE.
Republican Leaders Take Different
Views of Controlling
the Trusts.

The republican leaders should get
together and agree on information
they impart to the voters. President
Roosevelt, in what was doubtless q
carefully considered speech on the
tariff and trust issue, told us that tho
Sherman law was Inadequate and q
constitutional amendment was essen
tial to control the trusts. The Ohio
republican platform says: "Combina-
tions for the monopoly of trade and
kindred unlawful purposes are direct
" amenable to penalties provided by
republican legislation" meaning, OF
course, that the Sherman law is ample
to control the trusts. Which of these
statements are we to believe, that of
the president or Senator Hanna 2
Neither do the same authorities agree
on the tariff as affecting the trusts, for
the president said that the tariff had
no connection with the trusts, while
the Ohio platform after declaring as
above quoted on the control of monop-
olies, further says: NO worthy in
terest is imperiled, but whatever will
work public harm is restrained and
that without resort to the democratic
plan of destroying all American indus
tries through tariff revision, or other
wise"
"Or otherwise" is good. 1t allows the
republican brethren a hole to crawl
into when the democratic plan Of tar
If revision has relieved the people
from TRUST extortion, which is now per
mitted by the protection the tariff
gives them.
It would also seem that Senator Han
ma has changed his mind about trusts
for it is not long ago that he was vocif
erously declaring from every stump
he mounted that there were no trusts
and now he admits that there are
Combinations for the monopoly OF
trade" This being all things to all
men and each leader putting his OWE
construction on the important issues
may fool some Of the people all the
time, but it surely cannot fool all the
| people all the time.
