THE GOVERNMENT
SHOULD BUILD the
LIGHT PLANT.

Under the provisions of the last
Indian. appropriation act an ap-
preparation of $4,000 was made
for an electric light plant at this
place, for the agency and school
buildings, and for this town.
In this connection the building
of the plant should be by the gov
eminent, and not by contract I'M
der the usual methods of letting
contracts, namely; by Mr.. Durmet
invariably to one person who will
not pay members of the tribe the
same wages as to whites.
Mr.. Durmet is quoted as saying
that members of the tribe are cap
able Of earning only one dollar
and fifty cents per day, and this is
all that he will allow them to be
paid. Mr.. Durmet receives one
hundred dollars-~per month for
what he is supposed to do, and
from personal observation me

ton, or any other Chippewa of
Minnesota who is competent to fill
any of the positions, should apply
for them.
The Indian office at Washington
may raise the issue that applicants
for positions must pass the civil
service examination, but under the
terms of the amendment this is
not required, and Washington at
torpeys to whom the matter was
submitted while the Indian act
was pending before Congress we're
of the opinion that competency,
under existing law, was all that is
necessary.
Applicants for positions should
not fail to submit their applica-
tions to the meeting of the Gen.
eral Council at Bemidji next
month Tor endorsement, ana Cne
council will then be able to make
an issue of any objections that
may arise against the fulfillment
of the amendment to give mem
bers of the Chlppewas of Minne~
scta bands preference as employ
ees.
It is learned that the superin-
tendent of this reservation is be.
ing paid from the amount of 81 900
which is appropriated under the
treaty of 1867 for the support of
schools. If this is true the ap-
preparation is being diverted from
its proper use.

Defeat Of Senator C|app
Keen Disappointment To
The ChippeWas.

From expressions heard around
here among the members of this
reservation Senator Clapp's fail
ure to secure denomination is a
keen disappointment to them re-
gardless of their former party
affiliations.
Senator Clapp has been the
staunchest friend the Indians ever
had in Congress from this state,
and within the next two years
they will more fully realize this.
It is doubtful whether the Sen
ator himself cared much for his
denomination, and it was only at
the earnest solicitation of his many
friends that he finally filed as a
candidate, but after he did this he
could not be induced to leave his
duties at Washington for the pur-
pose IF coming to this state and
campaigning. For this reason he
placed himself at great dlsad-
vantage as his opponents were on
the ground with strong financial
support and speaking at every
pOint in the state.
At the instigation of Republican
politicians, the leading newspapers
of the state we're agains6 Senator
Clapp for supporting Col. Roose-
welt and the Progressive RepubIl-
can ticket four years ago, and this
fight has been kept up constantly
against him since then.
If the Republicans, who sup
ported the Progressive Republican
ticket four years ago, are to be
punished by the Stand-pat Repub-
licans as Senator Clapp has been,
they may probably continue to
hold up their organization and
continue in the field as regular
party, at least they should do this.

No Change In The
Atmosphere.

Members of this reservation
who have taken occasion 10 call at
the office of the superintendent of
this reservation, say there is ap-
parently no change in the atmos-
phere of the Office among the en-
ployees who were there under the
Howard administration: that, the
same chilliness is observed among
those employees that existed while
The Tomahawk., 1916-06-29
Howard Still
Stirring Up Trouble.

When it was learned that Ex-
Supt Howard would be relieved
from the position he held, an init
NATHAN was also made that he
would continue in the service IN
another capacity lot connected
with the Chippewas. To this there
was no objection from the Chip
pewa delegates that were at WASH
ington and who we're opposed to
him. Upon their return to this
reservation, much to their sur
prise they learned that Mr.. How
ard was still retained in the Chip.
pewa Indian service, or in regard
to matters connected with the
Chippewas.
1t is learned further, from what
is regarded as a reliable source,
that Howard, since he has been in
his present position, urged and en-
couraged opposition to the appro-
priation for the meeting of the
General Council of the Chippewas
of Minnesota, and when he heard
that this appropriation was not
going to be made, he said he would
come to this reservation and cele-
brate the event with the ware
housers.
Ex-Supt. Howard is like Ex-
Supt. McFetridge of the Blackfeet
reservation in Montana, he is re-
luctant to give up the power which
the Indian office vested in him,
and continues to stir up all the
trouble he can upon this reserva'
ton.
AS long as Howard remains con-
nected With the Chippewa Indian
service Attorney Kearful will have
a most difficult task to settle mat.
tiers here upon this reservation.

SUBSCRIPTION: $3.50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE
WILL WILSON OR HUGHES
Be ELECTED?

The Chippewas of Minnesota, If
they sho I'D all vote, have a sutti-
Gent number of votes to be effec-
tive in this state, if the vote is
close, and they should cast it for
either Wilson or Hughes.
Had Col. Roosevelt been noml-
mated, it is quite probable that the
Indian vote would have been cast
for him, at least a large majority
of the Indians would no doubt
have voted for him. Now there is
a decided Indifference to either
party among the Chippewas, for
those upon whom they could have
relied we're not nominated by the
Republicans for Congress. A
very large majority of the Chip
pewas had hoped that Sen. Clapp,
Ed. Rogers and Mr.. Anderson
would be nominated.
Congressman Miller was the
only Chippewa friend, so far as
known, who was nominated ard
he may draw the Indian vote with l
him largely to the Republican
party.
On the other hand, Dan W..
Lawler, who is in some manner
related to the Dousman family OF
Prairie du Chen, and therefore
related to the LaChappelle family
of this reservation, may, through
these connections, pull a large In
dian vote for himself. Besides this,
Mr.. Lawler has many acqualnt-
ances and old friends here who
will work for him for personal
reasons, and, probably, for his
party.
There is no doubt that ''Ameri-
canism'' will be the watchword
with the Democratic party during
the present presidential campaign,
and this issue may elect President
Wilson.
The Tomahawk., 1916-06-29
The White Earth Ware
house System.

The warehouse system OF tie
government upon the Chippewa
reservations in this state is one OF
the most pernicious of the whole
Indian service, and especially the
system as it has been conducted
here.
1t has been the custom to cover
all the shortages OF agents, super
intendents and warehouse clerks
by charging to some ignorant In
dian an issue he never received.
From o brief and casual examin-
alton of the warehouse issues at
the warehouse here, we learned
that fraudulent issues lad been
charged to persons to whom they
we're never issued.
A most searching investigation
of the warehouse methods as they
have been kept here during the
mast six or seven years would
show that the superintendent
Office has been reeklug with
frandulently charged issues, and if
this administration wishes to
cleanse itself of such methods, it
should call all the persons to whom
issues hav. been charged and
question them personally regard
ing the matter.
The late Chief Supervisor Hol
combe issued an order to ex-Supt.
Howard to give each of the Mile
Lac Indians to whom issues had
been charged copies Of the issues
CHARGED to each one, and in all but
one instance be failed to do this,
and this was the case of chief
Wah-we-yea cumig who has stated
repeatedly that some of the items
charged had not been received by
him. and there is every evidence
outside of his statement that this
was true.

Clarence B. Miller Re:
nominated.

Congressman Miller, of Duluth,
was renominated for Congress last
week. and as the district he repre-
sents is strongly Republican, his
election is assured.
Mr., Miller is Minnesota's live
vire'' in the House of Representa-
tives and his Indian constituents
will have no reason to regret his
denomination, for he will no doubt
continue to look after their inter
ssts in Congress in the future as
he has done in the past.
The Tomahawk., 1916-06-29

Only by such an investigation
as suggested will the members of
this reservation generally be salts
fed that efforts are being made to
correct the evils of the system.
In any event the system should
be abolished as was promised by
the commission which negotiated
with the Chippewas for their as
sent to the Act of January IA,
1889, and which even then was
known to be the worst part Of the
Indian service.

Positions To Be Filled

The amendment in the Indian
appropriation acc which became a
law on May 18th last, IS very
specific regarding the employment
of Chippewas Of Minnesota to ill
positions in the Chippewa Indian
seryice in this state. and is as fol-
lows:
''That not to exceed 100000 of
said amount, and the one fourth IN
terest on the tribal funds of tie
Chippewa Indians of Minnesota
now to their credit in the Treas
nrv to be used for the malnte
nance OF free schools, shall be used
for the com pensation of employees
in the Indian service in Minnesota
except for irregular laborers, and
that the said Chippewas shall re-
ceiye the preference in filling per-
maaent positions in the service of
the Chippewas of Minnesota where
the compensation is paid from
their tribal funds"

ton who are better qualified by
education to hold the position he
holds than he is, who have worked
at digging trenches tor the mere
pittance of one dollar and fifty
cents per day.
Mr.. Durmet's rise from team
ster to issue clerk of the agency
here, through the grace of John
Howard, was rapid, and when he
confines the compensation of mem
bers of this reservation to one dol
lar and fifty cents per day al
though they are working for their
own money and paying him his
salary, he should bear in mind that
their work is of more value to the
tribe than his is.
If the government should build
the electric light plant here, every
effort should be made by the In
dams to induce the Indian Office
to place the work in the hands of
an experienced, capable electrician
who should have full charge of the
work to the entire exclusion of
Durmet, since this seems to be the
sentiment of the members of this
reservation.

used in railroad construction in these
three South American countries.
Lines Move Toward Panama

Gradually, but apparently surely,
railroad construction is proceeding
northerly toward the republic of
Panama. Some of the engineering
work has been very difficult, and yet
no more so than were the problems
which it was necessary for Sir Wit
liam Van Horne to solve before he
completed the Canadian Pacific Rail-
road
Not until probably 10 or Is years af-
ter the clase of the European war will
France or Germany be able to make
capital investments of any Importance
I'm South America. With the exception
of the national investment by France
in the Panama Canal undertaking, all
of the investments Of the French peo-
pie in South America have been profit
able, and have contributed to the
maintenance and Increase of large
trade between France and the South
American nations.
Whenever Mexico maintains as or
derby a Government as Cuba now does
there will be invitably large invest
ments of American capital in Mexican
railway construction and improve
ment. For Mexico must depend upon
the United States for some years for
the money needed for railroad con-
struction and improvements.
South America is as greatly in need
of new railroad construction as are
some parts of the United States, es-
pecially in the far West. And II VIII
be one of the most important of the in
fiuences occasioned by the European
war il it should happen that the capt.
tai needed for South American rail-
road expansion and construction is for
the most part furnished by the United
States. For 1t is inevitable that il
American capital is utilized for this
work there should follow greatly in
creased commerce between the United
States and South American nations.
Moreover, substantially all of the
equipment needed for railroad con-
struction will be bought in the United
States.

EXPANSION


New York, September 9-Presuma-
bly, the organization recently perfected
one of whose purposes Is to facilitate
the development of American COM
merce with foreign countries, and also
to give financial assistance to other
countries, will aid in the construction
of expansion of certain South Amerl-
can railroad systems. For 1t is the
belief of those who are familiar with
conditions in South America that moth
ing can serve better for commercial
concord between the United States
and South America than railroad con-
struction, excepting possibly the Pana-
ma Canal. The canal itself will not
attain its greatest tonnage until rail-
road facilities are much increased in
South America.
There is one influence characteristic
of all South America which will be
sure to impress American capital with
the advantage to be obtained from in
vestment in South American railroads
There the public and the Government
thoroughly support every measure
taken to improve railroad facilities
and there has been none of the popular
opposition to railroads which for some
years was characteristic of the United
States.

Studies Bolivian Lines

studies BOIlNlnn Lines
When Joseph p. Grace, who sue
ceeded his father as head of the house
OF William r. Grace & Co., was in Boil
via a few years ago he made care
full study OF the Bolivian railroad sys-
TEN, being especially interested in the
contemplated extension Of that system
northerly to the boundaries OF Peru
This road, he said, when constructed
will become an important link In the
contemplated intercontinental railroad
system. This system was advocated
years ago by Hinton Rowan Helper, OF
North Carolina, and he was for years
alone in his advocacy of 1t. Now
gradually but surely, railroad systems
are being extended southerly from the
United States through Central America
and northerly through Volivia ana
Peru. There is now no doubt that ul-
timately an intercontinental line will
be constructed.
Presumably for some years after the
close OF the war the European nations
will be so occupied in rebuilding theii
railroads and permanently financing
their war debts that they will be un.
able to assist South America in rail.
road construction.
Would Tap Rich OIL Fields
One of the most important Of the
projected railroad lines in South
America would, II constructed, have
extended from the capital of Bolivia
southeasterly, tapping a very rich oil
field In Southeastern Bolivia and ulti
mately making connections with the
national railroad systems OF both
Brazil and Argentina. This is the
railroad project which Perclyal Far
quhar was attempting to promote anC
would probably have promoted sue
cessfully had 1t not been for the dis
turbance of the European money mar
kets occasioned by the Balkan war o.
four years ago.
II is a curious fact that while Amer
lean engineers solved the extraordi
narily difficult problem involved In
the construction of railways from
Pacific ports over the Andes Noun
tains In Peru and In Chile nevertheless
il was chiefly due to European capita
that these railroads were constructed
