CLUBS
in CONCERT ON
18th Of MARCH

A musical program of unusual merit
viii be rendered on March II In the
Charles R. Bishop Hall. by the girls
and the boys glee club of Punahou
Academy.
Patrons of Punahou will remember
the high class performance OF the 1915
clubs, but they may expect much
more Of this years organizations. The
majority of the 1915 singers are still
with the clubs ard their two years ex-
perience has done much in their de-
yelopment. L. c. French, the leader
of the clubs, has worked faithfully
with these members, and he has aug.
mented the chofrses by several care
fully chosen voices from among the
new students.
The clubs have both made, several
appearances on Punahou Academy
chapel programs and on other occa-
sions, and always they have been very
warmly received. The student body is
enthusiastic over the work Of its sing.
ing organizations this year, and a
hearty support is sure to be given each
club during the evening.
The program Is a diversified one,
presenting enough OF the classical mu.
sic to please the critical and enough
popular to satisfy those who look for
the lighter side of music. OF especial
merit seem to be the songs. "Harki
the Horn Awakes the Morn" and
Danny Deever" The soil of Danny

French, the choruses by the boys glee
club.
In addition to the regular glee club
numbers there will be violin solo

tette.

Who Pays His Salary?

John R. Howard, ex-superin
tendent, is now employed in sub
ordinate capacity, in position IN
fact formerly held by Mr.. Carr, Of
examining lands.
So far as his employment is con-
cerned it is of no benefit to the
Chippewas of Minnesota, and i;
does not concern them generally if
Towards salary does not come out
of Chippewa tribal funds, but if it
comes out of this fund they should
be interested to the extent of max
ing a protest against such an un-
lawful expenditure of the fund.
Congress made an appropriation
of $3.50, 900 last May for the Re
lief and Civilization Of the Chippe-
wa Indians in Minnesota out it
would be impossible for the Indian
Office at Washington to construe
the law as being applicable to the
employment of Howard and to
pay him from tribal funds to ap-
praise the value of lands sold by
individual Indians.
It is the general impression that
Howard is being paid from Chip
pewa triba! funds. If such is the
case the matter should be submit
ted to the courts together with
numerous other positions that are
being paid from tribal funds in
order to test the validity of a far
fetched construction by the Indian
| Office.

to observe the law is being circu-

1t is suggested that committee
of persons who are interested
should take hold of the matter of
raising funds, and if necessary an
effort should be made to get up a
basket ball and raise funds in this
way. In cases of emergency the
ladies of White Earth can always
be relied upon to do things, and
an appeal should be made to them
to get up a basket ball.
There are many educated young
men and women who desire EN-
ployment who should mot quietly
submit to the dictum laid down by
the superintendent here and the
Indian office, but they should
carry their applications into the
courts if necessary.

SUBSCRIPTION: $3.50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE
Complaints May Not Be
Justified.

So far at least as Supt. Hinton
is concerned the complaints that
he has made DETERMINATIONS in
making the big payment may not
be justified, but that there was
gross discrimination cannot be de-.
MED. AS an illustration the fol-
lowing cases are referred to:
Payments were refused to Joseph
E.. Perrault, justice of the peace
and formerly a clerk for years IN
>the government service, and also
to Joseph Charrette, an old soldier
of the civil war who receives thirty
dollars per month pension, is a
man of strictly temperate habits
and as president of the local coun-
Gil of White Earth Reservation IS
one of the most prominent men OF
the reservation, and likewise to
Mrs. Mary English, a highly edu-
Gated and cultivated woman whose
character is without blemisil. On
the other hand Fred jackson, who
is a notorious warehcuser and
whiskey dr1nker received his pay
ment and likewise Joseph Meshow
and wife, who are both in the
habit of becoming intoxicated and
who since they received their per
CAPITA share of the big payment
have been at Detroit where, it is
reported, they have been on a
spree since the payment was made
to them. There are also numer'
GUS others who have been paid
who are warehouses; and drinking
men but who we're favorites OF the
Howard regime.
1t is reported that even some of
the successful farmers of Galloway
and Redwood did not receive their
payments, at least this IS the state
ment by George Campbell which
was made by him to the represent
tative of The ToMAHAwK.
There is no justification in the
withholding of the payments OF
Joseph Charrette, Joseph Per
rault and Mrs. English, and it has
only resulted in their humiliation.
Mr.. Charrette was too mortified
to make any complaint and we are
Informed that he retured to his
home without even mentioning the
subject to anyone but to two of his
most intimate friends. But Mr..
Perrault has openly expressed his
Indignation and has carried the
matter up to the Indian office at
Washington, and he says that if he
does not receive proper treatment
there be will is necessary appeal
to higher authority.
There seems to be preconcert-
ed plan to discredit Mr.. Perrault
to the Indian office at Washington
so that his application for posi-
ton at the agency Office here may
not be considered. If it is true
that the Agency is trying to dis
credit Mr.. Perrault by not paying
him the funds to which he is en-
titled and to thus give the impress
sion that he is Incompetent, those
who are responsible for this should
be dismissed from the service.
1t is enough that the law Of last
May. which Congress passed Civ
ing members Of the Chippewa of
The Tomahawk. [volume] (White Earth, Becker County, Minn.) 1903-192?, 1916-11-09


which surrounds them, they por-
tray an interesting phase of the
character of the Indian of the old,
er type, and the kindly disposition
of the red man towards an un-
fortunate brother during seven
long years of waiting.

dian Of Odanah, now known as
Louis Sky. who served in the war

infantry, has been awarded a PEN
sion in his old age that he should
have been drawing since the close
of the Civil war.
In the year 1909, Dan Cameron,
Chippewa Indian of Odanah.
called at a local law Office and
asked to have a pension claim
started for an old Indian, who had
lost his mind, and was destitute
and sick. Cameron engaged a
team and took one of the law firm
to Odanah, where an old man was
found who did not know his name ;
did not know the members of his
family; did not know his age; in
fact he had had an entire lapse of
memory for great many years.
He, however, did know that he
had been a soldier in the war of
the rebellion, and gave certain
names which have since been
recognized as those of soldiers in
his organization.
Major Campbell was appealed to
and upon the little information
Dan Cameron could get from the
old Indian letters we're written to
different localities and to different
departments of the government
and state. Finally with the aid of
a few old settlers, prominent
among whom were Thomas Bardon
of Ashland, Wis.,, and his brother,
James Bardon, Of Superior, Wis,
the Indian was identified as one
sometimes called Louis Manitons;
sometimes called Ossawah, and
sometimes called Sky. Generally
these later years called and known
20 the Indians upon the Bad River
reservation as Louis Sky.
Lieut.. H. L. Farr, of Madison,
Wis.,, the one remaining officer of
the company, said that this man
was always an excellent soldier;
especially recognized as a sharp
shooter and chosen for work of
great daring and courage; that
there were five other Indians in
the army, and their custom while
in the service was to tent together
and remain together a great deal
of the time.
Lieut.. Farr wrote that he felt
confident if ne could see this man,
whose name had been given in So
many ways. sometimes called Louis
Ahsiwah, again called Louis Alb.
swewah, but for convenience sake
apparently in the army, known as
Louis Ossawah, he would recog-
nize him.
His pension was granted to him
under the name of Louis Ossawah,
now called Louis Sky, and will
date from the time his formal ap-
plication was made, Nov. 26. 1915,
and. at the rate of $22 80 per
month. -Ex.
