tween the two had been established
by matrimonial bureau. AlertOn is

MILLER FAILS TO EXPLAIN
CHARGE ON ED LYONS
The lively interview promised for
this morning between City Prosecu-
tor Harry B. Miller and Edw. ]. Ly-
ons, one of his assistants, about why
Lyons turned defender in court of
man he was supposed to prosecute
had not taken place at noon today.
Charges have been made by Asst
States Atty H. A Berger that in the
case of Geo. Meyer, Grand Pacific
hotel, Lyons asked for the minimum
fine for the accused.
"He asked me to impose the mini
mum fine of $25," said Judge Ma
honey. when he didn't seem will
ing to prosecute I asked the defen-
dant a few questions myself. Meyer
admitted he was running a gambling
house. 1 fined him 5000, then Lyons
made a motion for new trial 1 de-
MED it until an attorney other than
the prosecutor could enter an ap-
pearance as Meyers lawyer"
81 don't understand it," said City
Prosecutor Miller. 81 haven't seen
Lyons yet. I'll be able to talk for
publication after talk to Lyons. If
Lyons did what Berger said he did
he is in for trouble"
Miller said the same thing last
night, saying he would see Lyons
this morning and then issue a state
ment.

Society Of American H.
dianS to Meet at Cedar
Rapids, Iowa.

The Society of American In
dams will hold its next annual
meeting at Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
next month.
Cedar Rapids, while not as near
to Indian reservations as might
induce a large attendance of In
dians, is an Improvement on Kan
sas City, Mo-, where the meeting
was held last year, and there
might be a better attendance than
there was at Kansas City.
The society should adopt the
policy of holding its meetings
nearer Indian reservations than it
has been in the habit of doing, for
only in this way can it hope to Sc
cure the attendance Of Indians and
make it's object success which up
to the present time has not been
the case.

Will Hold A Meeting,

Some of the residents of this
Town are discussing the advisable
ity of holding meeting for the
purpose of taking some steps tC
bring before the United States
courts the amendment to the In
dian appropriation act of last May
with the view to having it en-
forced.
So many applications for posi-
lions IN the Chippewa service by
members of the Chippewas o.
Minnesota bands have been re-
jected by Supt. Hinton upon this
reservation and by the Indian
office at Washington, that it is
deemed necessary by the appli
cants to employ some attorney al
Washington to mandamus the
Secretary of the Interior and Com
missioner of Indian Affairs in or
der to compel them to observe the
law with regard to the employ
ment of Indians.
The Tomahawk., 1916-09-14

press the bill to a final conclusion.
The reservation vote gave Mr..
Steenerson his nomination, for
outside of the reservation Judge
Grindeland, who is better than an
average man but was not then
known to anyone on the reserva-
ton, had him defeated.
Mr.. Stevenson fulfilled his part
of the agreement also, but since
then has done absolutely nothing
on behalf of the reservation peo-
pie, but much against them. There
are now pcnc ing in Congress two
bills which are against the inter
ests of the members of this reser-
vation, namely: the Waller bill for
which VanMetre has been to
Washington several times to lobby
through Congress with the aid of
Mr.. STEVENSON, and the bill which
proposes to take away from the
Indians their celebration grounds.
and these two bills we're introduce
ed by Mr.. Stevenson, and have
his hearty support.
The Waller bill is a measure
which proposes to legalize all the
land sales upon this reservation
whether fraudulently obtained or
whether legally so, or not, relative
to inherited allotments.
When Mr.. Stevenson learned
be fore the primary election that
the Waller bill was not popular
here in this county or in Mahno-
men county, he telegraphed to
ashington to have it withdrawn,
but after his nomination he had it
reinstated. This is fair illustra
ton of the reliance which can be
placed on Mr.. Stevenson in pub
lie matters.

Civil Service Reform.

To the Editor of The Journals:
| cannot, without protest as a
democrat. allow you to get away
with the statement that the civil
service reform act is republican
measure. 1t was introduced in
1888 by Senator George H. Pen
dleton of Ohio, whose democracy
is sufficiently attcsted by the fact
that be was once the candidate for
vice president on the democratic
ticket. Your contentinn that the
law is a republican measure would
remind one of a boy who by the
united energies, brides and threats
of the household and the family
physician, had been placed in
proper relation to a dose of castor
oil and who afterwards boosted of
his stoicism under the trying or
deal.
If credit should be given any

reform, it should be given to the
labor reform party which was the

among those whose money will be
with held to having any paid to
them without being entered in a
memorandum for this purpose
which should be held by them.
The opposition on the part of
the officials to paying out individ-
ual Chippewa funds in the past has
been FIR purpose so clearly ap
parent it has been a common
charge That what should have been
derived as interest has not been
paid, or less than the actual
amount of the interest has been
paid; that there have been in
stances where even a part of the
principal was not paid.

Public Sentiment Has
Changed,
n As:

President Wilson has been
charged with being too vacillating
in his policy Of dealing with pub"
lie affairs, but the masses, accord
ing to expressions heard from all
squarters, seem to like that kind OF
Evacillation, the kind which has
8kept the country out of war, pre-
VENTED the greatest railroad strike
lin the history of the world, caused
the Child Labor, Rural Credits,
and Workman's Compensation
bills to be passed by Congress, and
>also other bills of great import
ance.
From a school teacher, Presi-
dent Wilson has become one OF the
greatest statesmen of the age.
Had sentiment remained as 1t
was apparently year ago, Presl-
dent Wilson never could have
been re elected as president, but
it has changed to such a remark
able degree, if any one can judge
,from every day discussions heard
on the streets even in the towns of
such strong republican state as
Minnesota, Wilson cannot be de-
feated by such weak candidate
as Hughes; that the latter's tour
of the country will do as much to
cause his defeat as anything else.

Towards teamster was placed IN
the classified service, and for
long time an Indian employe did
his work it has been stated by
those who were in position to
know. This man is still the
power behind the throne' 1T is
charged, for Supt. Hinton cannot
do anything without first consult
inc him or MIR. Six, and for their
errors the superintendent is held
responsible, or for their partlzen-
ship.
Candidate Hughes has come out
so strongly in favor of the civil
service law that it will no doubt
have a stronger effect towards de-
feating him than any other Issue
he has raised, if general sentiment
as heard on every hand IS any
criterion OF the wishes or Cne ula-
jority not only in one locality but
in the cities OF this aud other
states.
In the Indian service with which
every member of an Indian rcser-
va,ion is familiar, the old system
of government, and before the rx-
is,ance of the civil service law,
was much better than the present
system. Under the former syst' IN
no such combinations as exist ul-
der the civil service law could be
organized because the employees
then did not have life positions.

lar|E. Swanson Against
Stevenson.

The democratic candidate Tor
CONGRESS- in the Ninth District
against Congressman Stevenson
this year is Carl E. Swanson.
Mr.. Swanson was educated in
Europe and emigrated to this
country when he was sixteen years
of age. After working on farms,
in factories, mines, railroads, ETC.,
he enlisted in the United States
Army where he served seven
years.
While in the army Mr.. Swans
son was Induced by Captain W.
w. X. Hamilton to engage in lit,
erary work, and the result was
\shat in 1913, social Wrongs" ,
was published, which deals with
economic and political problems.
In the spring of 1914, Mr..
Swanssun wrote 1.-The American
Army'', part of which work was
embodied in the Congressional
Record last March.
Ifyou believe in the policies of
President Wilson's administration
and that he should receive the
support of Congress, you should
vote for Mr.. Swanson who would
sustain him and the principles for
which he stands.
But bear in mind that Mr..
Steer. orson, with Ex-Representa-
tive Eddy, has to his credit the
additional allotment act. TO get
his support to this act which was
then pending in Congress and had
been passed twice by the Senate
and had been favorably reported
/by the House committee on Indian
affairs Mr.. Steenerson gave a
written promise to a certain mem

first to declare for it in a national
platform in 1872.
George William Curtis gave the
movement a tremendous boost,
which eliminated in the adoption
of Senator Pendleton's bill. The
democratic landslide in the con-
gressioral elections Of 1882 was
another potent prod that recon
ciled the republicans to- their dose
of political castor oil.-Minne-
apolis journal.
If the foregoing statement is
correct, it is not TO the credit of
the democratic party that it is
responsible for the civil service
reform Cd law. Not one person
in every hundred cares or favors
the law, and prtjudices are arising
everywhere against it because the
change of presidents make no
changes in the general policy of
the government such as is desired
by the American people.
1t does not escape notice either
that the prejudices which arise
among civil service employees do
not disappear with the change Of
administrations from one party
to another, but the same condi-
tons continue to exist regardless
of the party in power to the detri-
ment of the party and the govern
inert service. No where in the
government service is this more
noticeable than in the Indian ser
vice, where greater advantage is
taken by employees than in any
other branch of the government
service.
