White Earth May Have
An Electric Light /.
Plant.

According to reports it is the
intention of the Indian office to in.
stall an electric light plant for the
agency buildings here, and posi-
bly, this village.
This is not a new proposition,
and at least one or two members
of the Chippewa delegation which
starts for Washington this week
intend to advocate the installment
of an electric light plant at this
village, and would have appealed
to Congress for this even if the
suggestion had not come from the
department.
In order that everyone in this
village may obtain the benefit of
electric lights, an act of Congress
providing for it should not permit
an Indian agent to discriminate in
the same manner Supt. Howard
did against certain residents in
this village when the water works
were built.
In the matter of electric lights
the agency and village here seem
TO be behind Red and Leech lakes
where, it is learned, they have
had electric lights for several
years.

Death Of Thomas
SheVIin.

In the death of Thos. l.. Shev-
lin at Minneapolis last week, a
young man of unusual ability in
the business circles of this state
was removed.
Mr.. Shevlin, although he did
not himself accumulate the vast
wealth he had, his close business
associates say his management of
the large business interests his
father, Thos. H. Shevlir, who
died three years ago this month,
left did not suffer nor diminish
any in his hands.
We first met Mr.. Shevlin six
teen years age at Minneapolis
while visiting Chippewa Com
missioner Hall with delegation
of Leech Lake Chippewas, and the
former, who was then a mere boy,
sought the acquaintance of the In
dians when he saw them on the
street. A pleasant afternoon was
spent with him then, and we al
ways retained the friendship for
him we formed then.
One of the pleasant features of
Mr.. Shevlin's life was the ap-
parent pleasure he took By being
with his father before the latter's
death. We very frequently met
them together, and the extreme
fondness they showed towards
each other always impressed their
friends.
1t is one Of she laws of nature
that death does not always take

away the old and in6rm, but
strikes indiscriminately. In speak
ing of the death of bright young
man a number of years ago, Cab
Cog, or Joseph Bellanger, said the
only mistake the Great Spirit had
mace was not to discriminate be-
tween those who had seen enough
of life, and those who were just
beginning to enjoy it. Gah-gog
was truly philosopher, ard he
reasoned things out correctly. It
would have been much better for
a few old useless fellows to die
than Tom Shevlin with his bright
prospects before him.
The Tomahawk. [volume] (White Earth, Becker County, Minn.) 1903-192?, 1916-01-06

ing the country's interest to this
work. There has never been =
time when so intelligent and gen.
eral an understanding of the real
Indian problem existed amopg the
public generally.
Especial attention, therefore, is
likely to be attracted to the an
nouncement that the Indian Ser
vice committee on courses of study
for the Indian schools has COM
pleted preparation of a scheme
which will give direction to all
this work in future, Its basis is
the division of the school day into
two equal parts; one half day is
devoted to industrial and the other
half to academic training. The
boys are given practical courses in
farming, gardening, blacksmith
ing, carpentering, dairy manage
ment, ssddlery, etc.; the girls, in
cooking, sowing, laundering,
gardening, poultry care, and the
like.
Uncle Sam does things of this
sort we'll, because he provides nee
essary facilities, and knows where
to find experts to use them. If
the precise educational system that
is to be carrieS to the Indians of
the younger generation, could also
be applied in the rural schools of
the country generally, it would be
one Of the most practical services
that the government could render.
There has been endless discussion
of plans for government aid in vo
cational training, but accomplish.
ment has been meager. The ex-
pertinent vito the Indian schools
should be watched closely by all
educators; it promises to develop
much that will help in the proper.
expansion and Improvement Of
tie schools everywhere.

Who Will Be The Repub'
IiCan Nominee For
President?

This is a question that no one
can at this time venture to answer
correctly, Justice Hughes, Col.
Roosevelt, Sen. Root, Chas. w.
Fairbanks and a host of others
have been mentioned by the pub
lie press as probable candidates.
1t is generally admitted that
President Wilson has kept the
country out of trouble and war
and this has caused him to be
somewhat popular, but his domes-
tic policy, and we mean by this
the policy as conducted by some of
the executive departments o: the
government, has been much criti-
cised and are extremely unpopu-
lar.
Col. Roosevelt is probably the
only man who has been named as
a republican candidate who could
defeat President Wilson easily if
his radical position relative to
preparedness was MT almost equal
to carrying . chip on his shoulder.
But even then if Col. Roosevelt
should be nominated by the re-
publicans he would probably be
elected as he is popular with the
masses even if some of the repub-
lican politicians cannot forgive
him for his part in the overwhelm-
ing defeat of Taft. But the change
of sentiment among republican
leaders which is going on through.
out the country presages the nom-
nation of Col. Roosevelt, and he
will undoubtedly be elected.

any part of the land heretofore or
hereafter allotted to them, and. to
have their pro rata share of tribal
funds paid to them. If any lands
belonging to said tribe arc in
course of sale by the United States
for the benefit of said tribe, the
pro rata share of said Indian, of
the proceeds of said sale, shall be
credited to him or her and paid as
soon as the sales are made and
completed.
NOTE-The Society of Ameri-
can Indians have also the follow
ing in their platform:
For reasons long evident and
incontrovertible and in harmony
with the policy of land allotmeuts.
we urge the prompt division in
severalty upon the books of the
Nation of all funds held in trust
by the United States for any and
nil Indian tribes. We further urge
that these individual accounts be
paid at as early date as wisdom
will allow. Annuities and doles
foster pauperism and are curse
to any people that intend to dc-%
velop independence and retain
self-respect as men,

Death Calls Governor
". s. Hammond.

Last Thursday Minnesota was
startled by the announcement OF
the sudden death in Louisiana
of Gov. Hammond.
According to telegraphic re-
ports Gov. Hammond had up to
just previous to his death been in
the enjoyment of his usual good
health, but an attack of indiges-
ton resulted in stroke of ap-
oplexy, and he died almost in.
stantly.
Gov. Hammond, before his
election as governor, served sever.
al terms in Congress from the
Second district. His home was Mt
St. James, and he was unmarried.
He was native of Southboro,
Mass, where he was born and
spent his boyhood days. He came
to Minnesota as a school teacher,
and was eventually Admitted to
the Minnesota bar, and was pract-
icing, law when first elected to
Congress. Had be lived he no
doubt would have been the vice
presidential nominee on the demo-
cratic ticket.

der it are worse than anything
that ever existed under the old
regime. The country is getting
heartily tired Of the manner in
which the civil service law is be-
ing conducted by the rings which
is anything but honest.
Let us hope that the Right Of
Nomination Bill will become law
at the present session of Congress,
SO that the Indians, the greatest
victims of rings, may at least cast
aside the yoke.

SUBSCRIPTION: s1.5o PER YEAR IN ADVANCE
The Right Of Nomina-
ton Bill.

Information has been received
here that th,, Fright of Nomina
ton Bill' will again be introduced
in Congress at the present session.
If this is done every Indian tribe
in the country should make an
unusually strong effort to have
the bill passed, for only through
it can Indians hope, to obtain full
justice.
Every person who really has
the welfare of the American In
dams in view should not only lay
no obstacles in the way OF the
passage of the bill, which provides
that Indian tribes shall have a
voice in the selection OF their
agents and superintendent, but
should support it without loading
it with amendments so that 1t Will
be Ineffective. The Indians Rights
Association, the Society of Amerl-
Can Indians. the members OF the !,
Mohonk Conference. the Indian
Office at Washington, and the
General Council Of Minnesota
Chippewas, all strong organlza-
tions with regard to Indian affairs,
should work unitedly for the pas
sage of the bill. But if any OF
these organizations fail to do so,
or oppose the bill, they can be
placed in the class opposed to the
progress and welfare of the In
dams.
When the bill was pending in
Congress before there was strong
lobby working against it which
was organized among some of the
employees Of the Indian service,
and especially among those who
were in the field service.
If these employees feared the
consequences of the bill it was not
TO their credit, and it was evidence.
that their own consciences accused
them of not treating Indian inter,
ests fairly, nor, perhaps, even
honestly. 1t may have been, too,
that the civil service law has built
up snch a ring in the Indian SER
vice, and which is the charge OF
every tribe in the country, that
the proposed law would have des.
troyed it.
It has been stated on good au~
thority that Secretary Lane is
cognizant of the large influence
the subordinates Of the Indian
Office WELD in the policies Of the
government, even against heads OF
administrations, and has not hest
tated to express himself unfavor-
ably regarding this condition. The
Indian delegations which have
visited Washington during the
Wilson administration have found
in Secretary Lane a person who is
unusually fair, and who desires to
correct existing evils in the Indian
Office.
If the Right of Nomination Bill
should become a law, the rings
which have been organized under
the civil service law would at least
, be greatly damaged in the Indian
service If not put out of existence
entirely.
in the course of time the civil
service law will become a para
mount issue In the politics OF this
country, for the rings formed un-

respect to the relative fitness OF
the two candidates for the great
est office within the gift Of the
American people. It is long list
that the names OF prominent Re
publicans who will support Mr..
Wilson this year makes-not be-
cause they have embraced the De
mocratic faith so much as because
they are convinced that the re-
election Of the President will be
| best for the country-fOr its best
interests and for the whole Amer
lean people.
This extract from Mr.. McKes-
sons ample letter should be i'm
pressed upon all who are open to
conviction. 1t is dense mind
that cannot grasp his point Of
view.
Referring to the Adamson s.
hour law, Mr.. Me Kesson says:
Though this matter was dis!
cussed in Congress and the public
press for many days, Hughes was
as dumb as an oyster about it. IF
he was opposed to it he did not
say so. The truth is that if the
strike had come Hughes would
have denounced Wilson and Con
gress for failure to pass it |
and any man who knows anything
OF him knows this is true.
In common with thousands Of
Republicans, | am sorely and |
deeply disappointed in the speak
ing tour Of Hughes. No presi-
dental candidate Of whom | have
any knowledge ever made so
weak, fruitless, evasive campaign |
as he IS making. His speeches 1
are simply a deluge Of vociferi-
Gus commonplace.

scold, and has not aroused the
least enthusiasm or uttered a sin

craftsmanship. If he -er had

If Wilson had been L gelv in
