LYNCHBURG. VA. February -
John Marshall High School. of Rich
moud, tonight defeated the Lynch
burg High School in ono OF the most
brilliant games OF basketball ever
played here, tho score being 30 to 30.
The locals had Richmond beat in the
first half. u 10 49, but a switch OF
centers by Richmond, Wharton going
in for Pettway. gave the visitors the
jump and the game
This advantage, however. would not
have won for John Marshall but for
the most remarkable exhibition OF
tossing by Woodward that has prob
ably ever been seer here. 1t was SO
remarkable that there must have been
an element or luck In il OF his clev-
en- goals from the floor, five OF them
went straight through tho basket from
losses from the LynChbUrg side OF the
cage.
The other outstanding feature of the
game from Richmonds standpoint was
the guarding OF iIarsrove, for Rich
mond. 1t was his work that broke
up the generally spectacular work of
IZZy Opplcman. LynChburg's left for
ward. Opplcman only got away with
two shots, one OF these being from
center. Two OF the goals for Rich

lucky ones, for the ball struck a sus-

not take issue with him regarding
what could only be his personal
views regarding the Right of Nom
ination Bill.
BY asking Senator Ashurst's aid
against the RIGHT Of Nomination
Bill, in The plural number and
signing this request as the presl-
dent of the Society of American
Indians, MIR. Coolidge overstepped
the authority which The society
has vested in him, and likewise
Justice and what is right and true.
We have yet to hear among the
Indians of this country who are
not in the employ of the govern
ment, dissenting voice against
giving Indians the legal fright to
vote for or against the retention
OF their superintendents.
It. is quite probable that some
Indians who are in the employ OF
the Indian office might be induced
by the powers that be to make ex-
pressions unfavorable to the John
son bill, or its substitute, but not
all of them, but these expressions
would be of such II selfish charac-
ter that it is not believed Com
yress would give much weight to
them.
Who compose the Every worst
elements" to which Mr.. Coolidge
refers? Are the delegates that
were in Washington and urged the
bill and in whom their respective
tribes had sufficient confidence to
send there, the elements he refers
to? No other conclusion can be
reached since they urged the adop-
ton of the bill.
Indian traitors to Indian inter-
ests may cause the weights of j JUS
ice to be outbaIarced for the time
being, but in the end anything
that is right will win, and i the
American Indians stand unitedly
together for the propositions cor
tanned in the Johnson bill, or It's
substitute, they will surely win
before many congresses have
passed.

Red Lake indians May
Be Taken Care Of.

Last Thursday a bill was intro
duced in Congress by Representa-
tive Lindberg which provides that
the lands upon the diminished Red
Lake reservation shalt be drained,
so that large portion of the res
ervation in the vicinity of Red
Lake River may be placed in a
condition for cultivation which is
now too swampy to do.
The bill provides for the appro-
|priation of 100000 of the tribal
funds of the Chippewas to be re-
imbursed when the pine timber of
the Red Lake reservation has been
sold. 1t also provides that only
Indian labor will be used in dig
ging the bitches. although mechan-
les other than Indians may be en-
ployed to operate ditching ma
|chiues.

published when received, 50 that

Selfish Motives.

The former members OF tho de-
funct White Earth board of In
dian education which was created
by the local council Of this reser
walton, but which ceased to exist
when the General Council Of the
Minnesota Chippewas created 4
similar board, recently sent a pro-
test to Congressman Ellsworth
against the appropriation of 81, $50
for the expenses OF the tuition,
board, books, travelling and other
expenses of FIVE Chippewa boys
who are attending Keewatin Aca-
denny of Wisconsin, and ask that
the appropriation be placed under
the jurisdiction of the defunct
board.
AS justification for their re
quest the members of the board
charge that Keewatin Academy
devotes more attention to athletics
than to the education of boys.
The board was abolished by the
council because it's members did
not show that spirit Of fairness
which the council desired by dis
tributing scholarships to boys ac-
cording to their merits, but its
members confined themselves to
giving these scholarships to mem
bers of their own families, and the
absurdity of their charges against
a school, regarding which they
know absolutely nothing about, is
apparent t., those who know about
the controversy between the mem
bers of the defunct board and the
local council in 1913.
Peter Jourdan personally went
to Washington on his own behalf
and on behalf OF the other Chippe-
wa boys at Keewatin Academy,
and, through the president of the
Chippewa General Council, John
G.. Morrison. asked for assistance
from the Senate Indian Committee,
and this resulted in the appropria-
ton being made.
1t probably does not occur to
one or two members of the BOARD
that the members of this and other
Chippewa reservations may have
properly construed the motives OF
the former in making the protest.
They should have borne in mind
that tribal educational funds should
be distributed equally and not be
confined to the members of one or
two families.
All the Chippewa boys who are
attending academies and colleges
should receive assistance from the
educational funds of the Chippe-
was of Minnesota, and no member
Of the Minnesota Chippewa bands
should raise any objections to this,
but it is decidedly selfish to try
and have an appropriation set aside
and take it from some Chippewa
boys to give it to others who have
already received assistance for at
least two years from the tribal
funds to pay for their higher edu-
cations.
