Wassaja VS. Tomahawk.

! al WIG August uuuAOCA VI C1IO
Wassaja, a leaflet published month
ly upon Chicago reservation by
DR.. Carlos Montezuma, an in
divldual Apache away from the
real reservation, occurs a very
lspecious form Of reasoning upon
the late editors views upon the
immediate abolition of the Indian
Bureau. Mr.. Gus Beaulieu is
not now of this world and the
rather insiduouS attack upon his
character, and his motive in o.
iecting to the immediate abolition
of the Indian bureau, must be
taken up by the present editor of
The TOMAHAwK.
Fortunately he is familiar with
the line of thought entertained by
the late Mr.. Beaulieu and many
others among the Chippewas of
Minnesota, men whose lives have
been spent in controversy with
that bureau which DR.. Montezuma
implies Mr.. Beaulieu was favor
ing. The doctor quotes from The
ToMAHAwK editorial which came
from Mr.. Beaulieu's pen, the fol-
lowing passage, 1.-The Indians are
MOI ready for che adjustment of
the Indian Office" and adds it IS
not an Indian reason" TIE ToMA-
HAWK now says, it seems to be not
that of ONE Indian"
The General Council! Of the
Minnesota Chippewa Indians at
recent council did pass an extra
ordinary resolution, one upon
which the city dwelling and city
raised Indian based his editorial.
This council also passed some
other strange resolutions, one of
which lacked in common courtesy
to the old Indian fellows" whom
DR.. Montezuma extols as better
workers than the young fellows"
1t is the present editors opinion
that had the ''old fellows'' been in
the majority the resolution upon
the Indian Bureau would have
taken saner form.
We will, for arguments sake,
concede that DR.. Montezuma
speaks for large number Of his
fellow tribesmen when he says,
those awfulIy dreaded Apaches
do not want the Indian Office to
rule over them.'' The Chippewas
likewise chafe under the rules of
the Indian Office as now conduct
ed, and the wiser heads, the 'old
fellows" and the deliberate minded
"young element" want a change.
The personalities the doctor in
du!ges in, the present editor will
dismiss as parented by a temper
airy ''brain Storm Mr.. Gus
Beaulieu believed that the Indian
Office should be reconstructed
from top to bottom, that the one
man rule should be supplanted by
a Board, or Commission form of
management.
An Indian whom DR.. Monte
yuma will probably himself con-
cede is posted upon Indian mat
ters, U. S. Senator Curtis of
Kansas, at the last session of Con-
gress introduced a bill providing
for Commission form of manage
ment and in the provisions Of the
bill reforms were provided for,
and more, Indians upon their sew
eral reservations were given quite
large functions in order to correct
the evils which every thinking and
loyal Indian recognized as
strangling the Indian people.
Since the death of Mr.. Beaulieu
the Indians are asking one another,
who will, who can take Gus
place! % they are not Laughing at
Dim.

Hearts Are in War.
Washington, May 12.-President
Wilson, speaking today at the dedi-
cation of Red Cross memorial build
ing to the women of the civil war,
declared America united had gone into
the present war solely because it be-
lieves in the principles upon which the
American government was founded.
"The hearts OF the people of this
country are i'll this war;" he said.
"They think that here is an oppor-
tuully 10 tNpIcsS luc CHdl dClet Vi tHc
United States. We have no grievances
of our own. We went into this war
because we are the servants of man
kind. We will not accept any ad-
vantages out of this war. We go into
it because we believe in the principles
upon which the American government
was founded"
The building was dedicated both to
the women of the north and the
south, fact on which the president
dwelt in emphasizing that the coun-
try is united in the present war.
"I pray God" he said, that the out
come of this truggle may be that every
element of difference in this nation
may be eliminated and that it will
make single people out of those who
call themselves Americans. | believe
that this is already beginning to hap
pen and that the spirit of this peo-
pie is already united. hope that this
will be the beginning of process
which soon will require the erection
of another beautiful memorial to
united America"

Suit Against Rock Island
Road Won by State Officers

Lincoln May l2-(Special) AT
torney General Willis Z. Reed and
Secretary of State Pool won a suit
brought by the latter on advice of
the former to compel the Rock Island
railroad to pay an occupation tax III
this state based on the total valua-
ton Of its entire property.
The suit was started in district
court, but taken to federal court, and
Judge Munger OF that court has held
that the road is liabls for a tax based
on the entire valuation of its prop
erty, which is shown to be $72,000,-
900. The road has contended that the
tax should be based only on the value
of its property in this state, which
was placed at $l2000,000. .
The amount in controversy for the
year 1916 amounted to $l,950 over
and above the amount admitted by
the company, and with the balance
due to July of this year will make
more than $500 due. Mr.. Pool says
the decision means saving to the
state Of about $4,000.

Pay Difference in Wages

Three hundred employees of the
Union Stock yards and the live stock

aid in the production OF foods for
the war emergency.
This was decided upon this morn

to pay the difference between the

farms and what they are paid when
working in the yards.
The shipping out of the men will
begin at once, through the Stock

said. "The question of finding good

demanding attention.
I'VE need more places for boys.
They responded nobly when we issued
the ball for farm volunteers. In fact,
so many expressed a willingness to go
that we are having difficulty in find
ing places for them. If the farmers
realize that these boys are all husky
youngsters, willing to work, the ques-
tion of supplying them with labor will
be easily settled.
