HOWARD'S ViNDICATION
Indian Agent Fully Cieard of
ccauiieu'S Charges

The Herald has received copy of
the report of the congressional COM
mittee h a t recently investigated
conditions ON the White Earth In
dian reservation i'm Minnesota. Re-
atlve to the charges preferred
against Hon. John r. Howard, form
erly of Sank Centre, now agent on
the reservation, the report says:
AT the last session of the subcom-
mittee i'm Minneapolis before leaving
for Detroit, Mr.. Gus III. Beaulieu
filed with your subcommittee several
charges against the Indian Office,
Supt. John r. Howard of the White
Earth Agency, and various officials of
the Department of Justice and Of the
Interior Department who were then
engaged in cleaning up White Earth
affairs. On the suggestion of Mr..
Beaulieu, we subpoenaed, at govern
ment expense. nearly 60 witnesses to
support these charges, the chief of
which seemed to be dire e d
against the administration of Supt.
Howard, and we gave Mr.. Beaulieu
the widest latitude in submitting his
proof. The result was complete
failure on the part of the accuser.
The evidence convinced your subcom-
mittee that Supt. Howard greatly
sympathizes with the Indians, that
he has been faithful to his trust, and
that he has done very well in spite of
the many obstacles placed i'm his way
by the mixed-blood employees of the
lumber companies. Your subcom-
mittee is also convinced that the
charges made by Mr.. Beaulieu against
the employees OF the Department of
Justice are equally unfounded. y

ORIGIN OF WORD ..Plcnlc"

Years and years ago, when such
outings We're being planned, it was
customary to have a list passed among
those who were to furnish the things
to eat and drink, and each one picked
out the thing She was willing to sup
ply. 1t was then ''nicked" off the
list. THIS form of making and signi-
flying your choice became known as
pick and nick, which soon changed in
to picnic, and in due time the word
picnic was applied to the entertain

here was considered the stest of the
year.
The girls team was hampered by
lack of beth weight and experience.
They failed to win any of the games
played. though showing great inn
provement toward the end of the sea-
son. Better ball may be looked for
next year.
The boys team was composed en-
tirely of men new to the game. I'm
der the circumstances they made a
very creditable showing. OF nine
games played they won six. OF the
three lost each was tie. The
strongest point of the present team
has always been team work and the
willingness sacrifice chance at
the basket to a team mate with a
better chance. Individual work in
basket ball is hard thing to Judge,
for the cardinal sin of the game is in
dividual grand stand work to the
neglect of team play. Cooper is
especially to be commended on this
point. He has been one of the most
valuable men on the squad, though
scoring only one field goal i'm eight
games. Captain Ii tell carried off
the honors in the point getting. This
was largely through his own clever
ness, but partly the result of the sys-
tenn used in feeding the ball to him.
Hanson was close second i'm scoring
besides playing down the floor on the
defense. Hopkins played a strong,
steady game throughout the season
and toward the end broke into the
scoring column from the guard posi-
tion. At center, McIver has n o t
more than held his own on the Jump,
but played the floor in great style
and held his opponents to very low
scores. Lyman joined the squa d
rather late in the season, and has
filled difficult position as utility
man very creditably. playing both at
forward and guard. McIver is the
only man who will be lost through
graduation, SO that Sank Centre ex-
poets to have team of championship
caliber in the field next year. The
