PROF. PRICE DEEPLY MOVED

Dr. Brown then called the retiring instructor to the platform to receive the letter Professor Price was deeply moved. The degree to which he was affected was more in evidence visibly than by what he said. 'I don't know what to say" he concluded hurriedly leaving the platform.
 The pathos was relieved by the stu dent body in characteristic high school spirit. The spontaneous applause was long and loud and Senior John Grif- fin jumped upon the stage and led 1900 students in fifteen rahs for Price
 Professor Price is a graduate of Eartham college, Richmond, Ind, has received his bachelor's degree from Quarer institution and will take his masters degree from Columbia uni versity during the present summer term there.
 Professor Price said last night that the auditorium period yesterday was the richest hour of his life.

unanimity of genuine good wishes that a large measure of success may follow Professor Price in his new work.
 Dr. Brown next read an open letter addressed to Professor Price and signed by every individual member of his sev- eral classes in the department of physics.
 The letter follows:
 STUDENTS LETTER ''Mr. D. R. Price. Central High School:
 Dear MT. Price-Regretting that you are leaving Central high school and feeling that your services to the school have been invaluable, we, the under signed members of your classes in physics, desire to express the respect and high esteem which every member of your classes feels toward you. Your agreeableness and your spirit of good fellowship at all times has endeared you to your classes as a man worthy of esteem and we feel that Birmingham college has gained a great asset while Central High school has lost one of it's most valued instructors.
 That your career in your new field may bring you all the success and honor which is due you and that you may be as successful through life as we feel you deserve to be, is the sim cere wish of all of us.
 Again assuring you of our high re- gard and best wishes, we remain, yours most sincerely"

4 Doubtful Promotion.

There is no doubt that the in
formation which the Minneapolis
Journal received, that j. Fl. Hin
ton had been appointed to the posi-
ton of superintendent. here, and
that John r. Howard had been
promoted, was from an" interview
with the latter, for the statement
is characteristic of him.
John II. Towards promotion as
school supervisor IS a most doubt
full one for two reasons, the first
being that he lacks the necessary
education to hold the position OF
supervisor, and the other IS that
he will be unable to write a re-
port, and unless he employs some
one to do his work even the In
dian Office cannot hold him in the
service.
There is difference, which is
clearly shown in the manner the
Daniels and Howard cases we're
handled, between the Department
of Justice and the Indian office.
The Department Of Justice lost
no time in summarily dispensing
with the services of an incompe-
tent employee who was direlect in
his duties, while Commissioner
Sells instead Of letting Howard out
on account of his disqualiiications,
transferred him to another posi-
ton.

Senator Clapp, ex-Gov. Eber
hart, Frank Kellogg, the so-called
trust buster, are all candidates for
the United States senate from this
state. The Chippewas of Mime
sofa should not forget their obi
cations to Senator Clapp and they
should vote for him unanimously,
and take the trouble of turning
out to do so. John I. Van Metre,
the Mahnomen attorney, who was
at Washington curing the past
winter in an effort to try and Tx
up the troubles which surround
land titles upon this reservation,
could tell the settlers upon this
reservation who have purchased
lands, that Senator Clapp is their
only de pendence respect to this
matter in Congress.

Warren K. Moorhead, the man
who almost consented to accept a
fake bride offer Of twenty five
thousand dollars to drop his inves
LEGATIONS while he was here IN
1909. and who stated in just1fica-
tion of this that he had some boys
to educate, wrote numerous letters
to members Of Congress stating
that the better element OF this res
ervation is opposed to the Chlp-
pewa General Council. It. is such
men as Moorhead who are detrl-
mental to the general welfare OF
the Indians and cause adnlnistra-
tions to make mistakes in their
policy of dealing with them. This
man Moorhead also stated in his
letters that the publisher Of The
ToNAHAwX is maintaining a lobby
at Washington in behalf of lumber
interests. The Chippewas OF Min
nesota all know why the publisher
has given so much Of his time at
Washington every winter, 1t IS
therefore unnecessary for him to
make any explanations to them.
A man who acknowledged himself
susceptible to bribery as we were
reliably informed MoorEead adj
mitted himself to be, is unworthy
of any credence. Mr.. Moorhead
is a member Of the Board of In
dian Commissioners and this gives
him some prestige, but on account
of his actions while upon this res
ervation and since then, President
Wilson should remove him from
the position he holds.

If Superintendent Hinton
Does His Duty.

The Indian appropriation bill
now pending in Congress, and
which has been favorably report
ed, has a provision therein to es-
tablish an electric light plant at
the agency here and IL this viii
lage.
If Supt. Hinton does not follow
the precedent set by his predeces-
sor, of placing electric light lines,
or other improvements adjoining
the homes of only those who will
support him, they will be placed
at every street where they are
needed, and our town will be well
lit up.

DANIELS WANTS A JOB.

e. @. Daniels, who until recent
ly disgracea the Department of
Justice by his ineffciency and in.
reference in Chippewa tribal
affairs, has had the affrontary to
make efforts to become the tribal
attorney for the Chippewas of this
reservation.
With the aid of John r. How
ard, ex-superintendent of this res
ervation, a meeting of a handful
Of Pine Point Indians met at the
Pine Point school house, and there
passed resolution to employ c..
G. Daniels as the tribal attorney
of the Chippewas of Minnesota.
The council was certified to by
Howard and the report stated that
it represented the wishes of the
Chippewas.
As soon as the Pillager bands
heard of this they Immediately
telegraphed from Leech Lake,
through the superintendent there,
their protest to the Commissioner
of Indian Affairs.
A protest has also been filed
from this reservation against the
employment Of G. G. Daniels. If
no attention is paid to these pro-
tests. the matter will reach Con-
gress where an investigation will
be asked.
If Daniels was not Objectionable
to the Department of Justice and
the administration generally, he
should have been kept in the SER
vice of the government, for at
least twenty-four out of every
twenty five Chippewas upon this
reservation do not want him here
in any capacity.
No one at this place was aware
The Tomahawk. [volume] (White Earth, Becker County, Minn.) 1903-192?, 1916-04-13

which Senator Clapp has rendered
it, by sending him back to con-
tinue to fill the position of United
States senator, which he has filled
since 1901 with so much credit to
hmself and the state.
None know better than those
who have been at Washington how
indispensable Senator Clapp is to
his constituents. If the tracks of
Minnesotans could be traced from
the moment of their arrival at
Washington, whenever they 20
there on business with Congress
or the departments; they would in
almost every instance lead to the
committee room of Senator Clapp,
where they receive not only good
advice regarding the manner in
which they should proceed in the
matters they may be seeking to
have settled, but likewise valuA BILE
assistance. None of Senator
C!app's constituents are too in
81 rnificant for him t. take off his
coat and assist, and be does this
more because of bis sym pathetic na-
tu:e than for political reasons, for
many who are not his constituents
call upon him for help whenever
they are unable to get it from the
congressman of their own states.
The Chippewas of Minnesota
owe Senator Ciapp debt of graft
tude, ard they should now show
him how deeply they appreciate
what he has done for them since
he has been in the senate by voting
at the next primary election for
his denomination, and every one
should leave the work he may be
doing to do this on election day.
Attention is called to the Indian
appropriation act for this year, and
thereon will be seen the work of
Senator Clapp for the Chippewas,
but it should be borne in mind
that it is not him but Senator Mel
son who is responsible for the Red
Lake forest amendment that is Oh
the bill.
1t is also through the assistance
of Senator Clapp that the work of
NJ. G. Burcb, which plunged the
land titles of this reservation into
chaos, is becoming cleared; and
through him eventually will con-
ditions finally be settled upon the
reservation if he remains in the
senate.

IMPORTANT BUSINESS
FOR The GENERAL
COUNCIL,

If the Chippewas have kept up
with the times, and there is no
doubt that they have done so, :hey
must realize how important it is
to make the meeting of the Gen
eral Council during the coming
summer the most important that
has yet been held.
Factions should ''bury the
hatchet' and all join together in a
great meeting. The large ma or-
ity consisting of the progressive
element of the Chippewa reserva-
tons can afford to be lenient to-
wards their ignorant brethren VINO
have been controlled by the bad
influence of such men as Moor
head, Burch, Daniels and Howard
during the past five years, but as
these men have all been put out of
business by the departments which
they disgraced, and the actions of
the government has thus exoner-
ated those whom they undertook
to prosecute and Cypress, the
mixed,bloods and educated full
bloods should now work only for
the prosperity of all the Chippe-
was
The Tomahawk. [volume] (White Earth, Becker County, Minn.) 1903-192?, 1916-04-13

that council was going to be
held at Pine Point for the purpose
of discussing the employment of
Daniels, and the handful of per-
sons who attended it kept the
meeting secret, and likewise
Howard, whose duty it was to
give a general notice of the pro-
posed meeting, which he did not
do.

Objects To Reimbursab|e

Henry Standing Bear, member
of the Pine Ridge Sioux Reserva-

gret that the Chippewa amend

ton of 5000, for the expenses OF

Chippewas to the City of Wash

point of order while other matters

which mean great danger to the
tribal funds Of other tribes of In
dams we're permitted to remain
upon the Indian appropriation bill
without being disturbed, or any
questions being raised, as for in
stance, appropriations for irriga-
ton projects.
irrigation projects'' is the pet
phrase of designing, prospective
real estate dealers, and "reimburs-
fable is the word which is inserted
into the Indian appropriation bills
in order to be able to withdraw
moneys from the United States
Treasury, which belong to Indian
tribes, for the benefit of specula-
tors.
Reimbursable appropriations are
becoming too common in Indian
legislation, and our good legisIa-
tors must wake up to this.
Among indians it would be pre-
ferable if the legislators would
make an error in appropriating a
small amount for expenditures that
the Indian owners of the fluids
desire than to appropriate large
sums from the funds of other In
dians, who are opposed to these
appropriations of their funds to b.

SPECTATORS.
A judgein the State of New
York was severely criticised for
suspending the sentence of boy
who was convicted of crime and
which in the mind Of the Judge
there was some doubt that he had
committed. To his critics the
Judge said: II would rather make
a mistake in favor Of a man than
against him. And to me it would
seem that it would have been much
better for Congress to have made
mistake in making an appropria-
ton for the Chippewa Council
than to have made the mistake of
appropriating large sums of tribal
moneys for irrigation purposes. :"
Our correspondent, who was at
Washington when the item for
the General Council, and the ex-
penses of the delegations that went
to Washington last winter and this
winter was stricken out, probably
did not expect to see it reinstated
in the bill as was afterwards done,
and it was Immediately following
the objections of Senator Curtis to
the item that his communication
was received.
Regarding the appropriations
for irrigations, they are becoming
ridiculous in the eyes of Congress-
men, and the Indians whose funds
have been appropriated year after
year for irrigation projects may
soon see a change in Congress
| with respect to these appropria-
tions.
