We understand that missionary
theological seminary is to be start
ed in the old Poor House and with
special training for the arctic field.
The system will be object teaching
and 'Greenland's Icy Mountains"
will be illustrated by the frozen
water tank. A kind supeclntend~

failing to consider the needs OF
the thirsty villagers have allowed
the water in the tank to seek Its
own level, in plain sight. Well,
let us thirst and be grateful for
the icy mountain" that serves as
figure and at the same time re-
minds us of the reservations of
our brethren the Esquimaux.

We are beginning to feel our
years and the needs for rest. We
are right to the beginning of a
new calandar year and are even
now turning over in mind few
choice resolutions to govern our
future. We will not lay our mind
open to reading just at present but
we do not mind making public one
resolve. We intend to share duty
and oprobr1um. We will continue
to discuss the Agency office and
the Indian office. Lee Logan will
take the oprobrium.
While we discuss, he will 'cuss." "
While not a professional he IS
quite an amateur when rigbtiously
indignant. We will stand by him
in silent approval.

Never within the records of his
tory has there appeared a calamit
Gus horror such as happened in
Halifax.
We stood, appalled, when first
was sent out to the world news of
a collision in the bay that caused
an explosion of a munition ship,
death to those thereon and death
to thousands on land near by.
We still speak with bated breath
of the disaster, and the heart is
cold that does net throb with pity
and sympathy. The eye is fearful
as it takes in account of the horror,
and gathering horrors.
Nature is kind, but also it is
cruel, for it added to the suffering
caused by the accident, cold and
snow and blizzard combined to
add to suffering and mortality.
More than was in the mind of
the poet Is realized the wind of
adversely" the snow laden blast
seemed more pitiless thar the most
inhuman acts of the Teuton, it
shrieked aloud as men. women and
babies persisted under its cold
breath. Yes, nature can be cruel.
And yet as we weep, let US be
thankful that humanity arises in
it's might, and that in Canada and
in our own beloved country siren.
Gus things are being done to ale
waite pain and sorroy. The Red
Cross, true to it's noble mission,
lost no time, sweet nurses and
noble physicians arejon the ground
doing all that humanity can be
done. And Congress proposes to
do in the name of our country
great things through the gift of
S., 100000. The brotherhood of
man sings, "Blest I've the tie that
binds.'' For the noble impulse of
the representatives of our land
assembled in Washington, more
than ever should every American
sing and with high and new sig
nifcance, my Country tbs of

We hear that Supt. Dickens OF

reports in the air, he thinks the

Why Is It.

We have been holding our ear
wide open il order 70 catch some
news concerning the meeting of
committees at Bemidji. We are
not remarkably alert of ear SO per-
haps we missed the vibrations of
air at Bemidji, or perhaps the
wind wasn't blowing in our direc-
ton when the committees discus
ed affairs. But setting aside fig
ures of speech we will say. we are
sorry that the committees did not
think it necessary to make known
to US or any one else the result of
their deliberations. The minutes
of their meetings are Minnesota
Chippewa property and not simply
records of star chamber proceed
ings.
We do not believe the gentle
men comprising the committees
wished anything but publicity,
for the President of the Council
invited any Chippewas to be pres.
ent at the proceedings.
The ToMAHAwK is not the offic-
ial organ of the Council but it
does wish to be the medium for
information upon any questions
affecting the tribe, it welcomes
and invites communications from
officials or private individuals.
1t believes Il hat its columns,
reaching many, are of value to the
Chippewas who desire to know
what is being done by committees.
The delegations will soon be go
ing to Washington and it is desir-
able that the public should know
what is to be undertaken.
We wish the delegation success
and trust that it will see its way
to. send communications from
Washington to The ToMAHAwK.

Loyalty.

There is no element in the ma
ton more loyal than the Indian.
He has race consciousness in the
highest degree and strives at all
times to promore his standing in
the social com position of the coun-
try. He does this along the lines
of many paths, and one of these is
that which officials connected with
his estate is prone to look upon

with the eye of the martinez.
And yet despite OF the wrongs
suffered, in spite of the obstacles
placed in the wayeof his self asser-
ton, he is loyal to the country, he
looks upon her interests as his, her
Safety as including his own.
Z The Indian young man is in the
army to fight for the country, to
uphold the high ideals of liberty
and democracy which characterizes
the true American, He is sold

woman is doing her ''bit" in Red
Gross work, in the accomplishing
sacrifice of womankind IF hus-
band, sweetheart, son and brother.
Men and women are not withhold
ing personal service, because there
exists the sentiment that the In
dian in spite of all hindrances is
an American.
There are those who believe that
he should have all American rights,
tnat he should be proclaimed and
'esteeuled the citizen. But be is
not 50 recognized.
While it is true that an Indian
allotted land is a federal citizen,
his claim to the franchise within
state government is questioned.
The anomaly in all that affects
his standing is what gals the In
dian who thinks.
He does not with hold his sense
of duty to the country when she
is in distress, he thinks then, my
Country.'' But this Country as
typified to the Indian by the In
dian Office seems Indifferent.

Country is all right, the people
mean 5welr by the Indian and would
care for him.

Christmas.

Next week all Chrlstendom will
be celebrating the anniversary OF
an event that occurred many cen
turtles ago. It was an event OF
mystery il those days, it is still SO
today as biological fact, but. the
mystery has, since the day of
Golgotha, been lessened under the
clear light which the cross shed
upon human career. And as the
Great Day of Joy and promised
Hope in its anniversary approaches,
we wonder if full significance is
being felt by com temptation of
the experience of the shepherds
who watched their f1ocks by night,
and the angelic message that came
to them, Unto you is born this
day in the city of David a Saviour
which is Christ the Lord" And
are we beginning to think even to-
day of the lowly manger in Beth
lehem? r.
Art in literature, in painting and
sculpture has described this Lowry
Manager, for poetry has breathed
ia lofty and jewelled words, paint
ing and sculpture have wrought to
fix and entrance the eye. In the
distant day of the far past an an
gelic multitude sang in the sky,
GLORY to God in the highest and
on earth, peace and good will
among men,"
In these days as we think of the
awful world war, the angelic
chorus has far distant sound, and
yet we need not be surprised that
the promised peace is long COM
ing, for mans ill will can hinder
Gods peace even as good will is
the fruition of that. peace. we
might lose courage were it not
that the Day of Nativity. our dear
Christmas, is a constant feast Of
hope, for the child of Mary reigns
and shall reign. .
He it is who puts down and sets
up, and in the presence of wrong,
apparently for the moment, trium-
plant, we may hearten ourselves
by that knowledge.
And is there not light in the sky
for the nations battling for human
liberty and Christian democracy,
is there not a hymn in the air in
the occupancy by a Christian army
of the Holy Land so long wrong.
fully in the possession of an un-
believing empire? This Christ.
mastide will be observed in the
''little town of Bethlehem in the
Holy City, not by sufferance and
permission, but because of possess
sion and Christian rights.
The day of that peace chanted
by angels in the sky is dawning,
it may not come for many day,
more sorrow and suffering will
endure before the moment comes
when the sword shall be sheathed.
But the day soon to be comment
GRATED will not find US dolorous;
for the time being we will forget,
and worshipping as always, and
performing the sweet things of
household love one towards the
other, and for the babes of home,
we shall think of the message to
the world long ago given, unto
you is born this day in the City of
David a Saviour which is Christ
the Lord.''

this picture keenan,, playing the role
of a weakened man of age, whose

is paved by wealth and domination OF
an entire community.
The old man of power and autocrat

The film gives emphasis to the old
saying that "a child shall lead them"

main feature A riot Of color and
splendor, it carries story Of more
than usual dramatic interest. III
