DETROITS To

Several interesting bouts are

Rising Stars vii! put up one OF the
best contests OF the day, for these
teams are very evenly matched and
have been very keen rivals for
years. Soccer fans will remember
that last season whenever these
two team met the result was a tie
rntil~the last games of the season.
Judging on fora shown this year
the Detroit team looks q shade bet

eleven shows rare form on occasion
and their fast lively team is sure

SENATOR CARROLL S.
PAGE.

Among the members of the SEN
ate Indian committee who is al
ways on the alert against any
schemes from which Indian inter-
ests might suffer, or fair dealing
generally, is Senator Page of Yer
mont.
Senator Page is not only a prom
inent public man but a successful
one in business as we'll. His faith
er was engaged in the hide bust
ness as early as 1885, and retired
from it for a brief period in 1916
on account cf ill health, but SUBJ
sequently re-engaged in it. IL
1864, Sen. Page, then only twenty
one years of age, bought out the
business and has remained in it
ever since then.
The Tomahawk., 1916-01-13

I, But this is not. the only business
Tho Senator has been engaged in,
for he is president of the Lamoille
County Savings Band & Trust Co.. /,
is a director of the Swanton Saw
iDgs Bank & Trust Co., of Swan
ton, VT, and of several lumber
and other corporations. He also
be .rs collegiate honors, for he is
an T.. L. d. of Norwich Univer-
si,y.
Besides being successful bust
ness man Sen. Page has been very
prominent in public affairs in his
state; besides having held many
other offices, be has been govern
or of Vermont. He is, as his pic
ture above indicates, a keen, wide
awake, fair and conscientious man.
Indian interests will receive fair
treatment while Sen. Page is on
the Indian committee of the SEN

Indians of this country the right

bill, or one which will terminate

custom of prosecuting not Indians
for Introducing liquor into Indian
reservations, but confined himself
to the prosecution of the actual
white violaters of the law who
sold the liquor to the Indians, but
after he resigned from the office
the custom was changed. 1t was
also the firm of Billson & Congdon
that defended the Leech Lake
Pillager Chippewas in 1898, after
the Bear Island battle, and for
this work they charged the In

The forestry reservation in this
state contains some of the finest
agricultural land that could be
found anywhere, yet it continues
to lay idle for experimental pur-
poses. The public at large are
losers by not being able to enter
upon the lands and make farms
thereon, but the Chippewas are
the greater-losers because the land,
about three hundred thousand
acres. with valuable pine timber
thereon, has not been sold under
the agreement made with them in
1889. The United States, under
the Act Of 1889, coded to the Chip
pewas Of Minnesota all the reser-
yations they were then occupying,
and then created itself a trustee
by the same act to sell this land
and pine timber for their benefit,
but instead of doing this it created
the forestry reserve referred to
without due compensation TO the
Indians, and also allowed much
pine timber land to be entered un-
der the homestead and pre- emption
laws of the United States. The
whites are now clamoring to have
the lands opened to settlement,
and the Chippewas should appeal
to Congress to do so.

Shades of the Solemn and Lone

ties were negotiated for the pur-
pose IF violation and spoilation.
Now in this year of 1916, the same
gang, reincarnated, that broke
treaties for spoils. raised the ques.
ton of the validity and constitu-
tionality of the Clapp Law. Like
Alexander of old they weep be-
cause their fields Of conquest are
vanishing with the Pines and be-
cause now the site of their former
operations are changing into fer
tile fields and cottage homes and
they are not wanted and don't de-
rive so much spoils, but some
others get q little benefit. they
wash their hands like Plate of old
and feign that they have twings
of conscience over the Indians
treatment, but it is hard for this
gang to fool the people now that
are awake. This same gang of
spectators are of the same links in
a crooked system and there has
been no change in the least, but
only a clumsy attempt to disguise
their wolfish apparel. Now they
want to shed their responsibility
like a rattlesnake creeping out of
its skin. Can they do it! A
thousand times NO.-Mahnonen

Secretary Lane May Be
Appointed Supreme
Court Justice.

Secretary Lane has been men,
toned by the public press as the
probable successor of Justice La
mar Of the Supreme Court Of the
United States who died recently.
No better appointment could be
made for United States Supreme
Court Justice than Secretary Lane,
and we believe we voice the senti-
meDts of the Indians of the coun-
try when we say we hope he will
receive the appointment although
for selfish motives they would
probably prefer to have him re-
main as secretary Of the interior
as he has made q remarkably good
official in behalf of Indian inter-
estS.
The Minneapolis Tribune of last
Friday suggests the name Of Ex-
President Taft us the successor to
Justice Lamar, and states that the
country would be pleased with his
appointment. The country repu-
dated Mr.. Taft for president in
uncertain terms, and why should
his appointment as Supreme Court
Justice now please it? 1t is not
believed it would.
