Senator Clapp is not only popu-
lar among the Chippewas but like
wise among his constituency in
general throughout the state, for
it is generelly known that if they
have any business in Washington
and they appeal to him for assist
ance he very promptly aids them.
One of the prominent public
men of this state has stated that
Senator Clapp is the best United
States senator Minnesota has ever
had, and with this statement many
persons will no doubt agree.
On account of his prominent
connection with the committee on
Indian affairs of the senate, Sen
ator Clapp has frequently been
able to help his i, constituency
among the Indians.

SENATOR MOSES E,
CLAPP.

Senator Clapp needs no intro
duction to the readers of The
Tomahawk and especially to the
Chippewa citizens of this state.
His name among the latter has
become household word; ard it
IS to him they look whenever they
wish to reach the authorities at
Washington or the committees of
Congress.

The Indian Question:
FROM An. INDIANS VIEW POINT
CHAPTER III.

Although, as stated in our last
issue, a portion of the Chippewa
nation became separated from the
main body by the treaty between
them and the Uuited States of
June 15-17, 1876, the difficulties
which that treaty endeavored to
correct became more aggravated.

Very True, Very True.

The ToMAHAwK has commenced
publishing what is intended to be
a series of articles relative to the
Indian Question:, and in this con-
nection, although separately, it is
also publishing brief biographies
of the members of the Indian com
mittees of Congress in whose hands
tire future destinies of the Indians
are. Among these is Senator Lane
of Oregon, whom the Indians
throughout the country regard as
one of their best friends in Con-
gress.
In order to familiarize the Indian
readers of The ToMAHAwK with
the features of the members of the
committees, and especially with
those of Senator Lane, the pub
Usher wrote A. 9. Shaw, formerly
chief law clerk in the General.an
Office at Washington, who is now
a resident and a very prominant
attorney at Portland, Oregon, and
requested him to try and secure a
photograph of Senator Lane from
which a cut could be obtained for
publication in THE ToMAHAwK.
In reply to this request Mr.. Shaw
replied as follows:
Senator Lanes photograph is
engraved upon the heart of every
good Democrat in Oregon, but [
am unable to find any in the photo
graph galleries here, SO [ cannot
buy one for you. l find a number
in the possession of lis friends,
who are unwilling to part with
them even temporarily"
The Senator's private secretary
tells me tina. she will make a des-
perate effort to get one for you
Monday morning, and if she is
/ shall send it to you.
Il have inquired Of a number
of people as to where l can get one.
A Republican told me to day that
there was not a photograph out
fit that could stand the pressure of
taking his picture, but that is a
malicious Republican lie, as you
know. He is one of the handsomest
men in the United States, and just
why this Republican should expect
such statement to meet belief In
my mind, l do not know.
Il understand that Harris &
Ewing, photographers in Wash
inyton, D. g. did upon one occasion
induce the Senator to overcome his
native modesty, and that they have
negative of his photograph. I'm
less | can get one Monday to seDd
YOU, l would suggest that you
write to Harris & Ewing"
1t can readily be seen that MIR
Shaw means no disrespect to Sell
ator Lane for whom he has the
greatest admiration, but to appre-
cia,e the humor of his letter it is
hoped that Senator Lanes picture
may appear in the columns of The
ToMAuAwK in the future.
From our personal knowledge
The Tomahawk., 1915-12-09

Of Senator Lane, whatever he may
lack in beauty he makes up for by
carrying under his shirt bosom one
of the biggest hearts that ever beat
in a mans body. Ask Nate Head
and the Chippewas Indians Of Red
Lake about this.

cradle interest has been shown by
all concerned regarding the Steer

organization for the finest musical
program ever delivered in this state
In regard to the smaller towns,

cred on any lyceum course. The
number of men Mr. Thatcher will
have allows him to use every in
strument necessary for symphony mt
sic, and in this regard we will say
that it is not Mr.. Thatcher's inten-
ton to put on a symphony orchestra
program exclusively. 1t will be full
of little delightful numbers that ap-
peal to ALL He has a peculiar quar-
let of an English horn, basso0n, oboe
and clarinet put on. To those who
may raise the question of the in
congruity of such novelties as may
be scattered through the program,
we will say that Mr.. Thatcher han
dies this matter so delicately that
even the most educated musicians in
the audience will appreciate these
rests scattered through the program.
Mr. Thatcher, himself, as a director
is not a tempestuous sort of a fell
low. He is very capable man and
seems to get perfect results from
these men without doing any of the
extreme directors stunts that some
orchestra conductors seem to think
necessary.

Chautauqua July Is, afternoon and
evening.
Tickets for entire week $2.0C.

BOY BROWNS; BODY STILL SOUGHT
Kenneth Nielsen Loses Balance While
Playing en- Edge cf Pier Near
the Paper Mill

While playing on a pier just below
the dam and at the side of the pa
per mill Wednesday afternoon, Ken
meth Nelson, 9-yearold son of Mr..
and Mrs. Ed Nelson, fell into the
swift current and was drowned.
Efforts to find and recover the
body were Immediately commenced
and have been continued without let
up ever since, but without success
up to the hour we go to press On
account of the strong eddy at this
place, many think the body has not
drifted away from the vicinity Of the
spot where the boy fell in. Divers
have been down repeatedly and var
iOus eXpedients have been tried in
unsuccessful attempts to locate the
body
Search is now being made farther
down the river.
The river below the dam, and par
ticularly where the current eddies
around at the place, where the boy
fell in, is full of sunken logs, as
we'll as wire and other debris Some
think the body is held fast by some
projection at the bottom of the river.
Millmen have raised a purse of
$25 which is offered as a reward for
the recovery of the body.

foreman of the finishing room of the
paper mill.

through the Menasha Wooden Ware
Co.'S yards in the east end of the
city, thence across the river over
the logs and west to the residence
section. This line has been very
inconvenient for making repairs.
The telephone company has de-
cided to change this and will have
crew of six or eight men here soon
for a couple of weeks, engaged in
laying a cable over the bridge north
of the Christian church and on up
that street to Menasha-av, thence
east to the end of the street.
This will give better service and
save the company annoyance.

We have already devoted consid-
cradle space to general descriptive
matter on the chautauqua and we
will for the remaining weeks prior
to the big event cOnfine ourselves
largely to more detailed articles on
particular features. There are so
many features of exceptional merit
that it will be impossible for us to
do justice to them all.
Educational Motion Pictures
At the close of each days program
there will be offered a series of ed
ucational motion pictures. Educators
are just beginning to realize the
wonderful value Of this form of in
struction. 1t has been said by some
people that eighty per cent of al
we learn, we learn through the eye,
ten per cent through the ear, and
ten per cent through other senses.
If this statement holds true it is
probable that this part of the pro
gram will rival all the other features
that are offered At any rate, we
are sure it is going to be one Of the
most interesting parts of the pro-
gram. The pictures were selected
by Professor William H. Dudley,
Chief of the Bureau of Visual In
struction of the University Of Wis
cOnsin Extension Division.
Child Welfare Exhibit
There will be a side tent open,
containing an exhibit devoted to the
work of developing better boys and
girls. A different exhibit bearing on
child welfare will be installed in
this tent every alternate day, thus
insuring continued interest in this
important feature of the welfare
work. Not only the physical welfare
of children, but also recreation and
moral development will be featured
in these exhibits. There have been
several Of these exhibits in Wiscon-
sin, and wherever they have appeared
they have left in their wake the most
profound interest in the study of
children. The playground worker will
be present in the side tent every af-
ternOon at 4:30 to give a talk on the
exhibit and on various phas S Of
child welfare. The talks will be in
formal and short. Time will be al
lowed for questions and round table
discussion. The educational exhibit
will be assembled by Professor J. l.

Social Welfare of the Extension Di-
vision, and DR.. Hoyt E. Dearholt
