Trail Yesterday.
BOSTON, Dec Billy Sunday de-
livered a vigorous attack on the liquor
interests Of Boston at last night s meet
ing in the immense tabernacle, saving
that, although they were organizing
100000 campaign against him, he
would ask no quarter in the fight In
censed by the distribution of pamphlets
against him at a meeting in the taber-
nacle last week and by the appearance
of publications, prepared, according to
Mr.. Sunday, with the sole purpose of
attacking him, the baseball evangelist
threw down the gauntlet to the liquor
interests, declaring the fight is on.
Three meetings were held in the
tabernacle, with a total attendance of
more than 1900 for the day. The
meetings in the afternoon and evening
were for men only and the athletic re
vivalist talked i'll plain terms of the
evils Of the time. He held his hearers
as if by magic. More than % men were
overcome with emotion at the after
noon and evening meetings and had
to be carried out in state of uncon-
seriousness.
Just ESQ trail hitters were regis
tered as result of the DAYS work
Lack of Vision was the subject of the
morning service. when the revivalist
urged his audience to look ahead and
prepare for the hereafter. For the af-
ternoon and evening meetings the sub
iect was one of his best known sermons.
Hot Cakes Of the Griddle
Mr.. Sunday in his sermon last night
told Of his conversion IS years ago
i'm Chicago. The evangelist told how
he was one of a party of baseball
players who started out one Sunday
afternoon to get tanked up. A com
pany of men and women playing on
instruments and singing gospel hymns
attracted the partT. Although laughed
at and Knocked at by his comrades, he
followed the singers to their quarters,
where he promised to start life over
again. He told Of the different star
baseball men of his time who went to
paupers' graves because Of liquor.
With unusual vigor he pointed out
the sure results of sin and pictured
the horrible evils of intemperance He
spoke from the texts, Rejoice. O

youth, and walk in the ways of thine

THE PREDATORY CAT.
Worst Enemy of Song Birds - Costly
Legislative Joke.

\ cat that measures three feet five
inches from tip to tip was shot on the
game reservation at South Carver with
in the month. This animal was not of
the sort known to woodsmen as wild
eats. 1t was of the same breed as the
cat in the kitchen. The game ward
ems calls that kind of cat hunting
cat and shoot such on sight in order
to save the lives of birds. They are
domestic eats which have gone "'wild. -
The struggle of foresters and farm
ers against the depredations of insects
has brought to light the social value of
the song bird The birds are something
more than delights to ear and eye. In
foraging for food they destroy the in
seets which continually wage war on
field and woodland.
The eats not fed by master or mis-
tress prefer a diet of birds. No fare
could be more expensive to the rest
Of us. A bird which protects the vege-
tation man requires makes one meal
for an active eat The more eats, the
less birds; and the greater the insect
scourge.
Each year some sort of measure
/ comes up in the legislature aimed to
| check the irresponsible and expensive
army of cats which belong nowhere
and which are infinitely more damage
than their size warrants. Each year
a laugh greets such a measure. But
cats at large are anything but a joke
There is no more reason why an eff
cicnt community should permit al
army Of hunting cats to thrive thar
it should permit dogs to run wild as il
a Moslem city. It is only the laugh
ter of ignorance which intervenes t.
protect eats from proper legislation. 1
is an expensive joke.-Boston Globe.

The Chippewa Right Of

While the Indian delegations of

the johnson Right of Nomination
Bill. and OTHER similar bills, the
Chippewa delegation, with the as
sistance of Senator CIapp, succeec-
ed in securing the passage OF an
amendment which will, to all ia
tents and purposes, be IS fir to
the Chippewas Of Minnesota as
the Right Of Nomination Bill
would be if it is passed by Con-
gress.
If the Indian office at Washing
ton will not ignore the law, all the
positions in the Chippewa Indian
service in this state, the salaries OF
which are being paid from Chip
pewa tribal funds, shall be filled
by members of the tribe. 1t is w
to these members to take the
proper steps to secure the posi-
tons.
In order that there shall be an
equal distribution of the positions
the General Council should estab-
lish and seek to enforce a rule
which will not place whole families
in the Chippewa Indian service to
the exclusion of other worthy per-
sons. and in this way keep the
service and the new Chippewa
policy in good repute.

CALL FOR GENERAL COUNCIL.
RED LAKE, MINI.
MAY -, 1916.

Pursuant to Article five ~ of the
Constitution of the General Council
of Minnesota Chippewas, notice is
hereby given that the next annual
meeting OF the Council will be held
at Be,nidji, Mimi, July IL, 1916. at
100 p. NJ.
The basis of representation to the
Councils OF this organization shall be
one delegate for each one hundred
members or the major fraction there
of, of the White Earth and Red Lake
Reservations, and Reservations ceded
under the provisions of the Act Of
Congress of January fourteenth,
eighteen hundred and eighty-nine
rs u. S. Stats. 642). Such delegates
shall be elected On the first Tuesday
i'm June of each year, by the local
councils OF said reservations and
coded reservations. All chiefs of
bands are ex-otliciO delegates to the
meetings OF the General Council in
addition to regularly elected dele
gates.'
In the event of their being no local
council on any of the Reservations or
ceded Reservations, it is suggested
that the Executive Committeeman OF
such Reservations, or coded Rescrva-
tions. organize one for the proper
election of delegates After election
of delegates the Secretary OF the local
council should notify the Secretary OF
the General Council.
1t is urged that each delegation
have proper credentials for preSenta-
ton to credentials committee before
they are seated in the Council.

Another prominent man IN this

direct way, said it would be a
great mistake to not nominate
Roosevelt and to nominate Hughes
as the Republican presidential can-
didate. Mr.. Congdon is right.
Justice Hughes is a very high

John C, Morrison Jr. For
Superintendent.

During his incumbency as presl-
dent of the Chippewa General
Council John G.. Morrison Jr. has
shown himself to be impartial and
efficient, and for this reason it is
believed he would make an Impair
tial and efficient superintendent of
the White Earth Reservation.
Mr.. Morrison is middle aged
and conservative man whose sym,
pathies are thoroughly with his
people, the Chippewas Of Mime
sofa. and he could be relied upon
to do what the amendment of the
Indian appropriation act of this
year provides, to give the mem
bers of the Chippewa tribe the
preference in filling the positions
in the Chippewa Indian Service
the salaries of which are being
paid from the tribal funds of the
Chippewas of Minnesota.
He would undoubtedly do all in
his power to have the amendment
referred to fulfilled, and prevent
it, if possible, from being a fail
ure.
Much will depend upon the
Chippewas Of Minnesota in caus-
ing Congress and the administra-
ton to inaugurate new policy to-
wards the Indians of the country,
and if the policy of giving Indians
the preference to fill the positions
among their own people proves to
be a success among the Chippe-
was, it will be the first step to-
wards the final solution of the So
called Indian problem.
One thing remains to be taken

indians Are Suspicious.

Mrs. Lizzie A. Richards, of
Stanley, N. Mex, apropos of a
recent news item in the Pathfinder,
writes saying she has been an en-
ployee of the Indian service for %
years-seven Of which we're passed
with no white person nearer than
10 miles. In that time, she SAYS,
she has ''learned a great deal
about the Indians, and also a little
about the Indian bureau officials. y
She adds that mot all who are
working in the Indian service sre
working for the Indians " The
intention of the government is to
treat the Indians with honesty and
fidelity, but many appointeos to
the Indian service think too much
Of their own selfish interests and
too little abou: the welfare of the
Indians, she in mates. Hence If
the Indians are sometimes suspic-
ious of the ''Great White Fathers"
agents and emissaries, they cannot
be blamed. The Pathfinder.

at this time, for this is crucial
stage in the history of Indian

The Chippewas have made great
Roadway in getting what they are
