On the Lemhi Indian reservation. Idaho,
is a monument erected by the citizens OF
that section to the memory Of Tendoy,
chief of band Of mixed Bannock. Sho-
shoni and Tukuarika Indians, making
their headquarters in that valley. Ten
doy was always a friend of the whites,
and his influence on several occasions pre-
vented troubles with the Indians.
The Hand Book of American Indians"
recently published by the bureau of eth
nology, in a sketch Of Tendoy says:
About 1869 the attention of the govern
ment having been called to the miserable
condition Of these bands. they were found
on investigation to be almost destitute.
but Tendoy had been able to improve the
condition of himself and a few of his fol-
lowers by his sagacity in trade with set
tiers in the mining camps of Montana,
which he frequently visited.
Indians Promise Obedience.
ION the establishment Of an Indian
agency in Lemhi valley the Indians
promised obedience to the agent and
friendliness toward the whites, and owing
to the influence of Tendoy. these promises
were kept inviolate. He rendered invalu-
able service to the early settlers by pro-
tecting them from rowing bands Of un-
friendly Indians, and through his fnf1u-
ence no white person in the Lemhf valley
was molested during the NeZ Perez war.
the Indians would doubtless join the hos
tiles but were held in check by Tendoy.

ter of the situation. Some of the tribes
country advised him to steal horses and
slaughter few whites. when the author
tiles at Washington would think more of
him and grant him larger appropriations.
ITO this he is said to have replied: I
have not the blood of a white man in
my camp. nor do I intend SUCH.
'Tendoy died on the Lemh reservation
May 9. 1907. The settlers. in apprecia-
ton Of his services. subscribed funds to-
ward the erection of a monument to his
memory. and a tract of land containing
a number of other Indians graves was
set apart for his burial place."

MESSAGE GIVES OFFENSE
MIR. BLODGETT RESENTS MR..
BELMONT's IMPUTATION.
Michigan Man Requested to Secure
Introduction of Publicity Bill
by Senator Burrows.

|. Former Representative Perry Belmont,
the head Of an organization working for
a campaign publicity law. recently tele-
graphed John w. Blodgett, republican
national committeeman from Michigan.
urging him to induce Senator Burrows
to offer publicity bill in the Senate, and
criticising the alleged backwardness of
republicans in behalf of this legislation.
Mr.. Blodgett has replied to Mr.. Bel
| mont as follows:
Your telegram is a dishonest. unfair
reflection on the republican party, and
reads like campaign speech, for which
1t will probably do duty in the next
campaign. You know that, while Presi-
dent Taft has approved the principle of
publicity of campaign expenditures, he
has not approved the bill now before the
House committee. You also know that
the republicans in the last House passed
publicity bill and the democrats op-
posed it, AS a member of the executive
committee, Of the publicity organization,
protest against your dragging party
politics into a non-partisan organization.
Any fair measure will have my earnest
support in every way possible Please
favor me with copy of your bill

Not Seeking Partisan Advantage.

To this telegram Mr.. Belmont has re-
piled:
Your telegram, while not explaining
Senator Burrows course, is Of such a
character that 1 would not reply to it at
all but that my relation to a non partisan
organization requires the refutation of
the charge that l am seeking partisan
advantage. Your attention was called to
the action of the democratic congress
sional and national committees in order
that you and other leading republicans
should bring your party to take similar
active interest in the passage of the bill
approved by our organization and intro
duced by one of the ablest republicans
of the House. Your party having con-
trolled both houses of Congress during
the years the passage of this bill has
been urged, 1 might have taken the fail
ure to pass it as evidence of the party S
opposition, but l was careful to state
that the President has repeatedly de-
clared himself in favor of a measure of
that character.
mo fair-minded man could suppose
that advantage for the democratic party
was sought when l declared the repub-
lican Presidents position to be practi-
cally the same as that of the democratic
committees. 1 did not say that the DEM
ocratic committees or the President had
committed themselves to any specific
measure. You cannot be familiar with
/ the legislation attempted in Congress
when you say the republicans in the
last House passed a publicity bill and the
democrats opposed it,
| Mr.. Belmont adds that it Is still within
the power Of the republican party, not
| withstanding the attitude Of some of Its
leaders. to obtain the advantage Of this
publicity legislation.

Al the last session of Congress d
change was made in the rules of the
House of Representatives, permitting
bills to be introduced without the
consent of the committee on rules,
and among the first bills introduced
was one by an influential republican
congressman, Bennett of New York,
seeking to cut down southern rep
resentation, placing Mississippi's en-
resentation at three members. Don't
you realize that instead of getting
aid in the adjustment of the race
question from the North, many there
are not satisfied with the settlement
which the South has made of It? \
few years ago a bill was introduced
in the House of Representatives, pro-
viding for separate seats for the
races In the street ears in Washing
ton, which ere overrun ny the me-
groes to the discomfort Of the white
people, The measure did not receive
the vote of the solid South, and not a
single vote North, East or West. Do
you still expect aid from that Sec
ton? The papers only a few days
ago announced that President TAT
would appoint a negro as assistant
Attorney General Of the United
States, with supervision over white
men and white women in the depart
ment. Can you not understand tina
the viewpoint of these people on tn
race question is radically differen
from ours? The relationship be
4 tween the races was never better o
more cordial in Mississippi than it I
