to Mr.. Wishek was Tor a trade for

also for Alfred Zuger the progressive

ASHLAND WINS
THIRD GAM E
sOdanaln Is outciassea by Ashland
Ball Tosscrs

Last Sunday Belerbeck's ball tossers
came down from Ashland and returned
home with another Odanah scalp dangling
from their belt. We have to give it to
these Ashland boys for truly Odanah seems
not in the same class with them, this
making the third game they have taken
from Odanah this spring. The team repre-
senting our town was weakened greatly by
the absence of Pennock, Starr and Hill, but
this is not offered as an excuse for the los
ing of the game Sunday for they were simp-
ly outclassed in every department and it
seems they can't play together.
The game Sunday played here
resulted in a victory for Ashland by q score
of to Is after Odanah lad them beat all
the way to the eighth inning by a 8 to 3
score. This is how they lost both games

Under decision of the Supreme Court
Of the United States large portion of
Northern Minnesota will have to close the
saloons operating there now. The case
was commenced by the closing of saloons
by Pussyfoot Johnson in 1909, and which
were afterwards reopened by a decision OF
the late Judge Willard.
The particular provision of the treaty
under which the prohibition of the sale OF
liquor comes is the seventh article OF the
treaty between the Chippewas and the
United States of Feb. 25, 1855, which is as

In a recent publication, 'The Silent Call, ,
by Milton Royle, is the story of an Indian
girl educated at Carlisle, sent to be teacher
among her own people, which sets. forth the
prosecutions to which she was subjected.
She fed to the protection of friend to es-
cape the opressions and7ihsults Of the Sup
erintendent, and when he followed to force
back to the Reservation, that she might be
under his control, an officer of a company
of United States troops, comprehending the
conditions, gave her permission to remain
with her friends, at this the Superintendent
says: "Captain Baker you have no discretion

Captain admitted he had none; that settled
it; if the Indian Agent said she must go
back---back she must go. The book is not

ARTICLE ON
THE RED MAN
Taken From The Columns o. The
Ton,ahawk.

70 THE ToMAHAwK.--
Last summer the papers were full of q
terrible scandal in the Indian school at Carr
Isle, Penn. Everywhere the people were
outraged blythe knowledge that such condi-
tions could exist, and the perpetrators go
unpunished ;slintiI the last few weeks when
the Joint Commission of the Senate and
House for the investigating of Indian Affairs
went to Carlisle and, as a result of their in
vestigation some of the officials were suspen
ded. ~
A short time before that it was the Indian
School at Chiloco. Oklohoma, which took
FIVE, seperateshigh priced Indian inspectors
to investigate, and discover that there were
no Irregularities on the part of the Superin-
tendents, but one women found, in less
than month, irregularities so fogrant that
the Superintendent was dismissed, quietly,
with little noise, no penalties: attached, with
as little publicities as possible, seemingly to
protect him from notorety, when he should
have been prosecuted.
How can the Indian be expected to live
decently, to have morals of any kind, when
he sees such base wrong doing enacted and
fostered year after year with the knowledge
of the Indian Office which is supposed to his
protectors. He has been delivered into their
hands bound and helpless, ''The Wards Of
the Nation,'' his ignorance of and faith i'll
the "Great White Father in Washington,
used to futher the designs of those who have
the management of him and his affairs.
In his original condition the Aborigine Of

of his fathers with romance and folklore
unsurpassed by any people, but the civllza
ton and examplebrought to him by white

gradations. 1t has been stated that the con
