If the government wishes to secure

Congress will have to pass another

the President will return Maj. Nc
Laughlih to again importune the In.

hope their expectations will be reulized
but Judging their case with ours it
seems that time enough has not elupsed
to warrant the Thought that anything
will be done until the people are worn
out and discouraged with waiting. The
difficulty lies in the fact that there Is
no complete authority in the depurt-
tneht to dispose of tile Public lands,

to have the direction of the affairs
which ought to be managed solely by
department officials, and between the

A BROKEN PLEDGE,
CHIPPEWA INDIANS WHO ARE ENTITLED
TO ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ACRES
OF LAND EACH AS ALL01MENTS
HAVE RECEIVED ONLY EIGHTY
ACRES.

The Chippewas of the MISSISSIPPI
who belong to this reservation,
have long urged a matter which
has been ignored and neglected by
the officials of the interior depart
ment who, in doing this, have
violated the most common rules OF
Justice. 1t has been wonder to
the Indians interested why these
officials do not exercise the same
rule of justice to them that they
so strenuously assert on behalf of
the government.
We refer to the treaty stipula-
ton of the treaty of 1867, which
provides that each member Of the
Mississippi band may, under cer-
tain conditions, secure allotments
of land of one hundred and sixty
acres each. 1nstead of giving
d Just and liberal construction of
this stipulation. the interior de-
bartment has ruled that this was
repealed by the act of January IA,
1889, under which the Chippewas
of Minnesota are receiving their
allotments. The Chippewas have

The LIQUOR TRAFFIC,
The Indian Police Force Should Be Com.
PEELED to do Its Duty or Step
Down and Out.

In spite OF the eHOfCS OF Uile
United States marshals and In
dian agents to suppress the sale
of whiskey on this reservation, and
it's introduction therein, there are
those who will continue to risk
their liberty by engaging in the
business; sixty days in jail and
one hundred dollars fine, which
is the minimum penalty, has no
terrors for them. Among these
whiskey sellers are a number OF
young men who, if they would put
their energies and shrewdness to
better uses, would be successful
in almost any business they might
engage in. But they prefer to
carry on what is commonly called
"blind pigging'' knowing that
they are practically immune from
arrest, because they have class
of customers who will not inform
on them. It is also pen y
charged that some of the members
of the police force although cog
infant of the persons who are sell
ing whiskey, are not only lax in
prosecuting them but have actually
given them the aid and informa-
tion which enables them to evade
arrest or to be caught with whis-
key in their possession. Agent
Michelet is undoubtly strongly
opposed to the sale of liquor to
Indians, and it's introduction on
this reservation, but his police
force is not only inefficient but is
deceiving him.
1t is true that there are some
good men on the force, but they
Justify their indifference to exist
ing conditions by throwing the
responsibility on their captain.
Whenever there is an arrest made
it is not usually any of the men
who are making regular business
of selling whiskey that are arrest
ed. but it is some of their victims
who, perhaps, may have given a
friend drink of liquor or in whose
pockets it may have been found.
A regular blind pigger is seldom
arrested unless the matter is
forced upon the police.
No dance or social can be had
on this reservation without one
or two of these "blind piggers'' are
present carrying on their nefari-
Gus vocation, and making drunk
ards of the young men and boys
of the reservation, not to say any
thing Of the women some OF whom
are becoming as bad as the men
in this respect.
There is nothing so injurious
and detrimental to the welfare,
progress and prosperity of the
Chippewa Indians as the liquor
traffic amongst them, and it is. time
that the police on this reservation
should be compelled to do their
duty by making strenuous efforts
to suppress it, and if they fail to
do so the agent should reorganize
the force, which he has recently
threatened to do.

NEEDED INDIAN LEGISLATION
The Bill Now Pending in Congress to Give
United States Courts Jurisdiction In
Suits by Indians Should Be
Passed.

Although an Indian tribe can be
sued, it cannot sue. Recognizing
the injustice of this condition
Senator Quay, who is recognized
by all tribes as the leading advo-
cate of justice to Indians, intro.
duced bill in Congress in
1901, to give the district
and circuit courts of the
United States jurisdiction in all
suits of civil nature, arising be-
tween members of various tribes
of Indians and between Indians
and whites. Under this bill In
dian tribes are also permitted to
bring suit against the United States
in the Court of Claims. In fact
it is one of the most important
measures to the Indians in general
that has ever been before Con-
gress. 1t was drawn up in line
with the recommendations of a
committee appointed by the Amer
lean Bar Association to investigate
the subject. In it's report this
committee said:
"The greatest need of the Indian
race at the present time is to have ,es-
tablisled and administered for them 4
system Of law whereby all conroversies
between the tribes and bands of In
dians personally and 1ndiansand white
men, can be decided and settled in the
courts without an appeal to physical
fOrce.'
No matter what injustice an In
dian or an Indian tribe may be
made to suffer, neither have ac-
cess to the United States courts
where all questions relating to In
dians should be settled. The bill
referred to aims to remedy this SO
that any Indian may have a stand
ing in court. 1t is therefore i'm
.portant that not only individual
Indians but their respective tribes
should also urge the passage Of the
bill. They should act as a unit in
presenting the matter before Con-
gress at it's next session and in
urging it's adoption thereby, and
Congressman in the districts where
there are any Indians should be
made familiar with the provisions
of the bill, with the view to having
them give it their active support.
The ToMAHAwK intends to pub
lish the full text of the bill in the
future, with a view to distributing
it among the Chippewas in this
state and Wisconsin, in order that
it's full purport may be understood.

never been able to learn under
what rule of reasoning this conclu-
sion was reached. There is not Il
line in the act, which bears out
this conclusion. On the contrary
the law seems to uphold the con-
tention of the Indians that they
should receive one hundred and
sixty acres of land each as allot-
ments. The act provides that the
Chippewas shall have lands allot-
ted to them in conformity with
the act of February s, 1884, and
which act is commonly known as
the General Allotment Act. This
General Allotment Act, provides
''That where the treaty or act Of
Congress setting apart such reser-
yation provides for the allotment
of lands in severalty in quantities
in excess of those herein provided,
the President, in making allot-
ments upon such reservation, shall
allot lands to each individual be-
longing thereon in quantity as
specified in such treaty or act. .
In it's Interpretation of the act
of 1889, the commission which
negotiated with the Chippewas
for their assent to it, said that it's
plain terms could not be misunder-
stood as regards the allotment Of
one hundred and sixty acres Of
land to each member of the Mis-
sissippi band. This Interpretation
was the chief inducemcnt which
caused it's acceptance by these In
dams.
The officials of the interior de-
partment have repeatedly com
PEELED Indians toassert their treaty
rights in the courts, and thereby
caused the latter to incur
considerable expense. 1t would
have been better for the In
dians if those officials had given
them the benefit of the doubt, if
they honestly believed that there
was any doubt, and allotted lands
in conformity with the interpreta-
tion of the act as explained by the
commission which negotiated it,
and to have thus placed the In
dians in position to have their
allotments in body, instead of
separately, when the matter is
settled definately.
In a previous issue of the Tom
AHAwK we referred to ruling of
the interior department which per-
mitted the Indians to take allot-
ments of one hundred and sixty
acres of land each up to a certain
date, and we contcndcd that if the
departments ruling was correct
then the Indians still have the
same right since the law has never
been amended or changed in any
respect since the ruling was made.
Mrs. Lynch has. taken steps to
assert her rights to an allotment
of one hundred and sixty acres of
land, and every interested person
should render such assistance as
may be in his power to secure IL
decision in her favor since such a
decision would settle the rights of
all who are entitled to allotments
as members of the Mississippi
band.
