I'VE took up arms in self de-
fense'' is the way the Kaiser &C
counts for the European war, and
the cry has been echoed all along
the line Of Junkerdom. This re-
minds US of the wolf of the fable
who looked down stream and ac-
cused the lamb of rolling the water
so that when it flowed by the wolf
it was unit to drink.
The Kaiser wanted to start a
row, and did start it when ,he
allied powers were no more dis
turbing European peace or making
attack, than was the lamb disturb
ing the peace of the wolf. Of
course now Germany is fighting
ION the defense, she has to, for she
is being pushed back, steadily.

length. But he added, Forum
ately for humanity not every boy
or girl is unit in the average
run'-capable boys and girls need
a greater cl,ance.'' Count over
the men and women of Indian
blood who stand foremost in the
country to day, as lawyers,
writer's, doctors and clergymen.
How many are products of lndian
schools? If non-Indian schools
can develop such minds AS Cool
idge, Roe Cloud, the Wright boys,
Montezuma, Mrs. Bonnin, Mrs.
Baldwin, Senator Curtis, Con.
gresham Carter and many others,
let not the new Indian school sys-
tenn rob its specially capable
pupils Of the highest possible
chance to make the utmost of
themselves.
And this is precisely the thought
that dominated the White Earth
members of the delegation that
visited the Capital last winter.
They urged that the civil service
teachers in the Minnesota Reser-
Walton schools be required to take
the State examinations 80 as to be
in touch with methods of the State,
and this it was believed would
necessitate a curriculum based on
the State of Minnesota system.
Senator Curtis questioned the
pleader pretty closely, almost with
the appearance of doubt over the
advisability of such a measure.
Mr.. Merritt, assistant commits
sioner, was present but made no
objection. At the next session of
the Committee the chairman an
nounced. that the Committee had
taken favorable attitude. and
would secconaend the passage of
such . measure. when ;, presented as
4 resolution to be adopted. ,s.. -.

true. This sort of talk out-devils
Beelzebub himself, for the devil
has more sense than to spoil his
own schemes by Dragging.
DR.. Hills reports that while in
Chicago he received a black hand
letter threatening to t'blow his
head off, should he appear on the
platform there. -.
The Kaiser has endorsers in this
country, men who support the
doctrine of fearfulness, ana yet
we hear so much of the beautiful
character of the German-Prdssian.
Let US hope that the imps of
Satan among the German people
here and in their own country are
not many. e..

Indian School .Curlicu'
Ium.

q. Thinking over the events of the
past winter in Washington, it
came to mind that the present
editor as one of che delegates visit
tho Capital in the interests of the
Chippewas was requested to speak
before the Senate Indian Commit
tee in behalf of 4 measure that had
been agreed upon.
This was in effect, a change in
the Indian school curriculum SO
far as it effected the reservation
schools of tue Chippewas of Min.
nesota.
The conviction had become
strong that the Indian schools
curriculum was not running suffi-
GENTLY parallel with the public
schools curriculum of the State of
Minnesota.
In an editorial of the Society sOf
American Indians Journal written
and published at time when a
committee of Indian Service Edu-
Gators had just completed a course
of study for Indian schools, the
editor in chief who wrote the
article did haye4A~ words Of

The State Road, beginning at
some point below Worthington, is
to be officially known as the Mel
son Trail.'' This runs from the
Iowa line on to Lake ltaska, pass
ing through beautiful sections of
our state and will be very extern
sively used by touring parties.
Very ftly is it named after our
senior Senator, Knute Nelson. He
has had a long and notable career
at Washington, and in which he
has brought honor to our state as
we'll as to himself personally. The
road running the whole length of
the state will be. a physical symbol
of the esteem in which he is held
ia the State of Minnesota, and may
its length serve to symbolic also
the length of his earthly years.
THE ToMAHAwK and the Senator
have never agreed politically, uor
in general, upon matters of Indian
qovernance, but we wish to testify
to an admiration of his stateman-
ship and his unquestioned loyalty
to his country of adoption.

Mr.. Merritt then asked that the
teachers be given time to prepare
for such examinations. In the
press of other affairs the delegation
did not push this question, SO moth
ing was done by Congress.
1t was shown at the time that
civil service did not fit a. teacher
for service in the public schools
for attempts had been made, and
failures to pass had followed.@
Many of White Earth's children
had taken up study at Detroit,
Minn,, and could not enter into
corresponding grades, because the
curriculum of the Indian school
was deficient. , Thus at least q
whole year was lost to them. 1t is
not probable that the measure adj
vocated last winter will be pre-
scented this winter for the delega-5

the Indian office school system is
below par both in its curriculum
and IN the equipment of its teach
ers, if we take the failures of the
two civil service teachers as
showing. Ia

A story comes from England
that a man has discovered a Way
of Destroying the submarine by
radio activity and under what he
calls the law of aft n1ty." We
certainly wish that it was true,
but we are fearful that the gentle
man has given his imagination GO
much radiating scope. Radium
has great possibilities, but even as
a theory the Englishman's story is
incredible. And then were it
true, it wouldn't be given to the
public 10 advance, and thus to
Germany.
