JAMES WHITE FOR WAR
viii Organize Company Of Indian For
War.

If the hopes Of James White, of
Odanah, are realized he will be
proudly leading a regiment of In
dians to the Mexicon border, before
many moons. James has been stirred
up by the news that a large number
of Sioux Indians have joined the ar
mics of Uncle. Sam, and he is deter
mined to draw his fellow "Reds" of
the Chippewa tribes to the colors..
White is splendid type of an In
dian brave. He is husky and will make
and excellent soldier. His eyesight is
keen and he can handle rifle like a
veteran. A regiment of Indians of his
calibre would set any troop of greas-
ers to flight.
Filled with an incentive to fight for
his flag, White has been combing the
city for recruiting office, but sad to
say, he has found none. He went to
the old armory, where the members of
the Machine Gun Company have
drilled before leaving for Camp Doug
las. The doors were bolted, all sign
of life has gone with the boys. He then
retraced his steps to the postofice,
but he was told that no recruiting of
ficer was stationed there.
This Indian declares that ne is going
to Odanah and try to get enough of
his fellow Reds to oragnize a COM
pany. That there are many qualified
braves who will enter the service, is
his belief, and he'is determined to find
them. The visions of captainey for

INDIANS EHuST|NG FOR MEXICO
Every INDIAN in the Country
Stands Ready.
To Uphold the Homer of Old Glory
Many are Now Enlisting

Several Indians have enlisted in
the United States army for Mexico
service and many more stand ready to
do likewise, in order to uphold the
honor of their country, the country OF
their birth. They are truly the true
Americans and why should they not
and in the defending of their own
country? Altho it is well known
fact today that they are not recog-
nized as such, in the face of all the
abuse and humiliation heaped upon
them, they as nation stand ready
and willing to fight shoulder to should
er with their white brothers in de-
tense of Old Glory against the en-
tire world. While it may not be gener-
ally known, the Indian of today is a
patriotic citizen and would gladly die
in defense of the "Star Spangled
Banner" that everyone should learn
to love and honor.
Several days ago the Sioux nation
offered thousands of its men to Uncle
Sam for service in Mexico, which offer
was refused on the ground that just
at present they were not needed.
Like the Sioux nation every Indian
tribe in the United States stands
ready to aid in the defense of the ma
ton and the flag that means so much
to every true American citizen.
The Indian while being subjected
to every means of abuse and even
called degenerates by federal officials,
has in every war ever fought been
found defending "Old Glory" with
his life and blood and viii not be
esound wanting in the present strife,
despite the fact of the many unfeeIing

PENDING BEFORE
CONGRESS NOW
The Right of Nomination Bill Giving
Rights
lndians of Choosing Their Agent May Become Law
This Session.

The Right Of Nomination Bill which
is now pending before Congress to
give Indians the right to designate
their own agents, will probably be
passed by Congress before many
more sessions if it is not passed by
The present Congress, if the. humor of
Congress, as indicated by members of
the Indian committees, continues.
In the Senate, Senator Johnson of
South Dakota has espoused the In
dian cause with regard to the Right
of Nomination Bill, and is giving 1T
his special attention, and insists. that
he is going to have the bill passed if
possible. Senators Lane, Hastings,
Gwen, Clapp, LaFollette and Gronna
also favor the bill as indicated by
them.
Senator Johnson introduced a very
long and elaborate bill relative to
giving Indians the right to name their
own agents and to have voice in
their own matters, but this was bare
ly defeated in the committee of the
Senate by the vote Of Chairman Ash
urst But the principal if not the only
objection to the Johnson bill was it's
length, for the committee indicated
there should be stronger bill and
one which would confne itself to re-
calling Indian agents, and commit
tee consisting of Senators Clapp,
Curtis, and Lane was selected to
draft another bill in lieu of the John
son bill.
In the House .*of Representatives,
Representative Stephens, Carter and
Hastings are strong supporters of
the Right OF Nomination Bill, but all
the members OF the Indian committee
Of the House seem favorable to it ac-

will HOLD
GENERAL COUNCIL
Meeting Held Tuesday After
noon for Purpose.
OF Selecting Date for Holding Said
CounciHMuch Business to Transact.

Last Tuesday meeting Of members
of the LaPointe Band Indians was
held N the council with the object IN
view of setting a date for a general
council. After several hours Of dis
cusion on the matter committee was
appointed to draft letters to every
member of the band in order that they
may be present at the council, which
is to be held Saturday afternoon July
oth, 1916.
The council as we learn is for the
purpose of electing committee to
look after all interests Of the band,
in other words for organizing Of all
the said band, which at present is sad
ly demoralized.
One of the many issues talked over
at the meeting was .the>imprisonnent
of Indians on liquor charges and fror,
what we learn, fight is to be put up
by this band in defense ef the Indian
and to ascertain why and how these
people are given recommendations to
jails in sums of 500 to $3.50 fines and
from one year to so and 90 days for
lust minor offenses. It is claimed that
the system used to sentence Indians
is rotten and unjust and not fair
law.
This is just one .ofstAe many griev-
ances5 that are to be taken up at the
council, but many others on different
lines are to be gone over and threshed
out. 1t was further asserted that the
Indian isabeing Disseminated against
unjustly,v and from the talk given at
the council thisss,fatlLsc issvtf be given Oh
en- publicity. and after the committee
has all matters in good condition a
strong delegation is to be dispatched
TO Washington c., with the in
structions to see that all these matters
are righted and to the end that the
Indian be given his equal chance, at
least in his own home, which at pres
ent is not done, it is said.
1t is urgently requested that every
member of the band, that possibly can
be in attendance as these are matters
of vital Importance to everyone.

cording to their statements made at
the meetings of the committee.
The above measure is one that ey
cry Indian Tribe in the country, should
boost for passage, as it means much
to the Indian of today. Much credit is
due the Minnesota Chippewas for the
fact that it is through their efforts
and labors that the measure has been
held prominently before Congress and
while it not, alone means much for
them, but the. entire country, they
have not one moment faltered in their
labors to secure it's passages and we
believe that it. is time our people in
Wisconsin. awake to the fact that a
little of this same push may be the
means of perching victory on the
fight for passage of the Right of
Nomination measure. ;.
Several years ago much was said of
the measure here but on account of
no organization such as they have in
Minnesota, the matter died national
death. We believe the time is now ripe
to follow the example set by the Chip
pewas of Minnesota and perfect an or
ganization for the betterment of our
conditions, which today is worse than
they were in balmy days Of 1900 to
1911-12. Then the people were con-
sidered simply savages but under the
leadership of The Star at that time,
the way was paved for better sur
roundings and usages. -
While The Star today, is not at
war with anyone, we wish to say that
we have material for several very
''spicy" articles, but that is not here
nor there we are firm believers in the
preparedness policy and also believe
in peace, but not at any price.

a dishonest system. "A government

The remarks OF Judge K. M. Lands
is in line with our contentious that the
present system is rotten and corrupt
and when it is branded as such by
such a high authority it certainly
must be as claimed. AT the session OF

that a government that is entitled to
their respect must go back to the
real culprit, the man behind the gun.
We further assert that this is law
that would or could not be applied to
the white man. Then why should the
Indian stand for rs usage any more
than his white brother.
1t is high time that the buster OF
