In spite of this Chairman ROraback says the re- cent Root-RooseVelt reconciliation is barren of results in Connecticut, and that this states 14 delegates will start for Chicago uninstructed and with open minds to cast their votes for WhOmsOever seems the best republi can to nominate One thing that is quite certain is that the Connecticut delegation will be anti Roosevelt.

 Hughes Has Inside Track,
 From this the Eagle deduces that if the national republican, convention were held just now, Justice Charles Evans Hughes would be the choice. Though he would have a large block of delegates he would not have suf ficient to give him a majority of the convention. There will be a total of 1,076 votes in the convention The Hughes states at the present time, the Eagle says, will have 19O dele gates. The five Roosevelt states will have 90 votes. This leaves a balance of 466 votes to be distributed, after the 330 which are now pledged to fla vorite sons. This support is not re- earded seriously.

there should be no hesltancy

Stevenson And His IN
dian Work.

Has Congressman Steenerson's
work in Congress always been for
the best interests of the Chippe-
was? This is question which is
now confronting the latter.
In 1903, during Mr.. Steener
sons first campaign for Congress,
it was suggested by Il resident Of
this place that the managers of the
annual celebration for that year
should invite him as the principal
speaker Of that occasion, but he
declined TO come on the grounds
that it being court week he would
be unable IT, get away. The same
person who suggested to the man
ayers to invite him then wrote him
personal letter saying that if he
was candidate for Congress it
would be to his interest to attend
the celebration as one of the speak
ers. In reply to that letter he
photographed that he had arranged
for the disposition of his cases,
and would be able to come here
and attend the celebration. He
came here, made q good speech
which took with the reservation
public. 1t was while he was here
upon that occasion that another
member of the reservation induced
him to pledge himself to support
the additional allotment bill then
pending in Congress, and on &C.
count OF that pledge he was elect
ed by the reservation vote which
was cast almost solidly for him,
for, outside OF the reservation vote

candidate for Congress, defeated
him oy two or three hundred votes,

indian Service Should Be
Reorganized.

The TOMAHAwK is not an advo-
cate of the entire and complete
abolishment of the Indian Office at
Washington, but it does believe it
should be reorgarized along prac-
tical lines by a commission consist
ing of experienced employees of the
office and also members of Indian
tribes who have had legal expert
ence as we'll as experience with
their own people, and who cannot
be controlled by selfish interests.
If Congress would pass a law to
create such commission the
troubles which are now caused by
the field service of the Office might
cease to exist.
There is not a reservation In
dian VINO does not know that the
responsibility for the failure of
the governments Indian policy is
due entirely to the field service.
Unfortunately for the Indians the
employees in the field service are
all under the protection of the
civil service law. a law 50 far as
the Indian service is concerned
that has proven to be an utter
failure.
1t would be far better for the
Indians if superintendencies were
abolished and the old policy of In
dian agencies was reinstated. I'm.
der the present system of superia-
tendencies if a superintendent is
failure, or is dishonest at one res
ervation, be is transferred to an
other instead of being prosecuted
for the violations of law which he
has committed. This probably
has caused the members of Con-
gress, regardless of parties, to be-
come so strongly opposed to the
Indian office AS it is evident they
now are.
There is no doubt that a bill
which would provide for the abo!-
,shment of superlntendencies
would meet with the combined OPP
position of all superintendent as
did the Right of Nomination Bill,
but this should not prevent In
dams from trying to get an Indian
office reorganization bill introduce
ed in Congress with the provision
therein relative to superintendent
cies.
! So far as Congress is concerned
it can be relied upon to do what is
for the best interests of the In
dams if it can obtain the proper
information.

interests, it would not be surprls-
ing if they should vote against
him at the forthcoming election.
One or two delegations from
this reservation sought Mr.. Steen-
erson's assistance but failed to o.
tain it, and one Of the delegates
afterwards refused to recognize
him when he came here on an
elrctiunecring tour.

The REPRESSION OF
the INDIAN.
BY CARLOS MONTEZUMA.

In the work Of getting right
where the country has gone'so far
wrong as it has in the matter Of
it's relations with the Indians, it is
necessary to view the subject from
all sides. Thus we have to con
slider the Indians present status as
it is affected by what is known III
the Governm ent's Executive De-
partment as the Indian Bureau.
This branch of the government
service came into existence when
it became necessary for the gov
eminent to protect the outnum-
bered Indians from the ravages of
the palefaces who had come into
possession of and dominated that
portion of the western country that
had formerly constituted the In
dams domain; and where the In
dams did not exist in such num-
bers as to make them secure
against the aggression Of the civil
liked pale face.
!. At first, the reservations were
established as temporary means
of fixing a locality for the indians
where they would be protected
from the marauding wild western
er of the plains, with whom might
was the only right and who, as a
matter of diversion, in the absence
of other material as target tor
his craftsmanship was ready to
draw his gun on the Indian. The
tendency to perpetuate an lnst'tu-
ton which was established by the
government for a special purpose
made necessary by the conditions
then existing, but which would, as
a matter of course, cease to De.
within generation, IS character
istic of the dead calm which often
overtakes the national intelligence
It is the same slothfulness of
mental action that manlfests itself
in the individual. Nothing in the
natural order of things warrants
the keeping up of the Indian Bur
eau al Washington. 1t has now
no place as branch OF the gov
eminent itself. 1t was in its IN
ception, and is today, mere at
tachment to the regular govern,
ment machinery; yet the fact shat
it was established seems to be
sufficient reason for continuing it
when the exercise Of a little
thoupbt would demonstrate that It
is hindrance to the Indians ad-
vancement.
All that is necessary to do IS to
accept the fact that the Indian IS a
man, a citizen of the United States
and that there is nothing about
him now that requires the special
attention of the government. Let
him assume the place to which he
is entitled as a member of the ma
tional household and his affairs
will be managed and his rights
maintained by the same laws and
regulations that control IN the case
of other persons.
The Indian is ready to adapt
himself to the pursuits In which
the people of the country are gen
rerally engaged. Give him these
.opportunities and the Indian Bur
eau will naturally fall into Its
proper condition of Uselessness and
cease to exist.

MULCT REPEAL UPHELD.
Iowa Supreme Court Rules Against
Vets in All Phases of Case.

Des Moines, June 30-The mulct
repeal law which closed saloons in
Iowa, Jan. l, 1916, is valid and con-
stitutional, the Iowa Supreme Court
ruled yesterday afternoon in affirm
ing the case Of the State VS.. John
Hill, appellant. The action was be-
gun in davenport by three saloonists
to test the new law.
The opinion of the court is solid
victory for the temperance faction.
The court was unanimous in uphold
ing the mulct repeal law, and dis
missed the contention of the liquor
faction in each instance by stating
that none of the points raised are
fairly debatable and we entertain no
doubt. in finding the repeating statute
invulnerable to the objections inter-
posed
The court does not leave enough
of the case to fight out in an effort
for rehearing 1t is believed, how
ever, that the vets will ask rehear
ing.
The mulct repeal law was passed
by the thirty-sixth general assembly.
1t directed that every saloon in Iowa
close on Jan. 1, 1916. All the grog
shops did close. On Jan. 3, 1916, 3
saloons of Davenport were opened
and sales of liquor were made to pro-
vide grounds for a test of the closing
law. Actions were begun and the
Scott county district court upheld
the law. handing down ruling April
26.
Attorney General Cosson asked
the Supreme Court to advance the
hearing on appeal. This was done
and the case was submitted at the
May period.
Justice Scott NJ Laid wrote the
opinion He states that the liquor
faction attacked the mulct law on
four counts; that the title was faulty;
that the supplement to the code,
1913, was not in effect-being with
out an index when the general assem-
bly, was in session; that statement
of consent was in force in Daven-
port and the city Of Davenport was
entitled to the revenue expected
from saloons; that Davenport is a
special charter city and not included
under the repeal law.
The court holds that the title is
sufficient; that the absence of an in
dex to the supplement did not effect
the statute as it was not a part of it
and only provided as convenience.
The court holds that the state is SOW
ereign and can do as it pleases with
regard to giving cities the right to
tax or not to tax property or bust
nesses.
