Calls on Hughes.
He called on Charles H. Hughes,
Republican presidential nominee, be-
fore seeing Mr.. Roosevelt, but de-
clined to state the nature of his con-
versation with either Mr.. Hughes or
Mr.. Roosevelt. He declared, however,
he believed there would be perfect
harmony" in the forthcoming cam
paign.
Guy Emerson and T. G. Desmond,
secretary and treasurer, respectively
of the Roosevelt Non-Partisan league,
also called on the Colonel. With his
approval they issued a statement in
which they said they personally in
tended to support Mr.. Hughes and
that they intended to use their in
fuence to enlist other members of the
league to work for his election.
Colonel Roosevelt's attitude, Mr..
Hughes was told, will be stated to
the Progressive national committee at
Chicago Monday, and indications were
that there would be no public develop
ment before that time.
The organization subcommittee of
the Republican national committee,
which will appoint a national chair
man, probably will meet soon there.

This request was explained as not

referred to by the Commissioners
of Indian affairs. At these hear
ings it was disclosed by some of
the so-called complainants that
Mr.. Shearman had asked them to
sign paper which they admitted
they did not understand the con-

The report of Mr.. Shearman
against the respondents in the en-
rollment cases is not justified by
the testimony submitted before
him, and if it is possible to do so
the matter may yet reach tue In
dian committees of Congress.
It is very evident that the act.
ions of Nj. 9. Burch were based
purely upon prejudice, and were
not with the view to doing justice
to the interests of the Chippewas

At & hearing given the Chippe-
wa delegation by the House In
di.n committee at Washington last
Friday, Congre ssman Miller and
Edward l.. Rogers addressed the
committee.
Mr.. Miller made an address to
the committee which pleased the
delegates immensely He referred
to the manner in which Chippewa
tribal funds are being squandered
in the most drastic terms, and adj
vocated that these funds should be
segregated and div ided among the
Chippnwas, and the amounts which
would be found due the competents
should be paid to them Immediate
ly.
Mr.. Miller gave some apt illus
trations regarding the manner in
which Chippewa tribal funds are
being squandered, and if his most
radical Indian constituents had
prepared his address they could
not have made it any stronger
than he did.
Representatives Carter and
Kanop Of the committee showed
their appreciation of the condi-
tions existing among Indians gen.
orally, and expressed themselves
strongly in favor of turning them
loose and placing them on their own
resources.
1t was suggested by Represen-
tasive Heyden that Mr.. Miller
prepare bill to be introduced in
Congress to create commission
which would come to Minnesota
and classify the Chippewas into
competents and inccmpetents. and
those that we're found to be com
petent to be paid their distributive
share of tribal funds immediately.
and this is probably what may
eventually be done.

fined to the payment of one-fourth
of the Chippewa tribal fund now

SENATOR JOSEPH
ROBINSON.

Although overhowing with good
nature, Senator Robinson, OF Ar
kansas, who is a member OF the
senate Indian committee, when oc-
casion requires it, is as stern ana
forcible as a man can be. When
ever a matter comes under obser-
walton which does not seem right
to him he does not hesitate to ex-
press himself emphatically against
it in a manner which is peculiar to
him. 1t was this characteristic
which made him such an excellent
chairman of the joint Commission
of Congress to Investigate Indian
Affairs, a committee which, much
to the regret of the Indians gener-
ally, went out Of existence during
the last session of Congress on &C
count of the lack Of appropriation
to carry on its necessary expenses.
Senator Robinson's desire is TO
be fair always and to hear all sides
of any question in dispute. Up7n
. previous occasion The IONA
pAwx referred to this when Super
visor Linnen, who is probably one
of the leading ringsters eft the In
dian office and is responsible for
The Tomahawk. [volume] (White Earth, Becker County, Minn.) 1903-192?, 1916-01-20

ly sufficient that his charges
against McFetridge, who was a
government employee, had been
substantiated. Senator Robinson
thus put a damper upon the usual
method of charging members of
Indian tribes with all kinds of
offences, who would make charges
against field employees of the In
dian service, by the employees
themselves, and in the heart of
every Indian throughout the
country was felt no doubt a deep
sense of gratitude towards him for
taking the position he did against
making the Indian, who made
charges against a government en-
ploye, the target instead of the
latter.
Senator Robinson is young
man, being only forty-three years
ofage.
He is graduate of the Univer-
sity of Arkansas, and at the age of
twenty-three began the practice of
law, and one year later was elected
to the General Assembly of his
native state; was presidential elect
or 10 1910, and elected as electoral
messenger; was elected to the
Fifty Eighth Congress and served
until the Sixty Second Congress.
Having been elected governor of
Arkansas in September 1912, he
resigned from Congress on Janu-
airy IA, 1913, and was inaugurated
governor on January Is, 1913.
On January %. 1913, he was
elected United States senator, and
on March 10, of the same year
took his seat IN the senate. This
is a political record which probab
ly has never been equaled in the
history of the country, and with
bis energy and push no one can
predict where Senator Robinson
will stop in public life.

Detroit Record-A little item
which appeared in the published
council proceedings of last week
is, in our opinion, sufficient cause
for editorial comment for two
reasons; first, to keep the records
straight, and secondly to show the
world al large the inera,ltude of a
quartette OF former Detroit sa-
loonkeepers.

council Joe Mackncr, John Swan
son, Martin Christensen and +.
s. COPYRIGHT presented bills ag-
gregating sos, 800, alleging that
This enormous sum Of money was
due them because the city had col
lected that amount from them in
the way of liquor licenses, and
that this collection was illegal I'M
der the federal Chippewa treaty of
1855. The bills were referred to
the city attorney.
If ever there was case of in
gratitude shown, and an attempted
outrage upon u long suffering pub
lie, here it is.
/. No contention is made as to the
relative value Of the licenses is
sued: no recognition is shown Of.
