Oliver J. Semmes, city recorder,
who answered Mrs. Sharpless' attack
last night, when asked by The Jour
nal for an interview, stated.
every one of the designation
houses Mrs. Sharpless charged was
operating is closed and has been
closed for many weeks. The list she
read last night was the list I fur
nished her myself when I described
to her what progress Pensacola had
been making in the line on which
she is working. I can't remember the
various addresses she mentioned last
night, but ] repeat that all, to the
best of my knowledge and belief and
of the police department, are closed
and were closed long before Mrs.
Sharpless came here.

Mr.. Semmes, "was entirely informal.

remark of hers to the effect that the
city officials were not doing their
duty and that one of them had at
tempted to pull the wool over her
eyes and hinder her in her mission.
Last Monday I, together with the
Rev. Herbert W, Rice, of the Gads-
den Street Methodist Church, called
on Mrs. Sharpless and offered to as
sist her in every way possible. She
received us Praciously and declared
that she was thankful for our cooper

NJ ADOO ASKS THAT
ALL EMPLOYEES
HELP RED CROSS

Secretary McAdoo, of the United
States treasury, has sent out letters
to the officers and employees of his
department calling upon them to ex-
hibit all the loyalty and patriotism
possible in this great possible crisis.
Secretary McAdoo particularly asked
that each and every employee of the
treasury department who cannot go
to the front set an example to the
country Of quick and effective service
in a concrete way by contributing a
small amount toward a fund which
will be used for the purposes of the
Red Cross and administered under
the general supervision of Mr.. and
Mrs McAdoo. The local employees
of the treasury department have al
ready raised a sum of money and
mailed it to the secretary.
The letter, in part, follows:
Treasury Department Washington.
To the Officers and Employees of the
Treasury Department:
Now that our country is engaged in
a war which has been thrust upon US
by Germany through defiance of our
international rights, and the laws of
humanity, it behoOves every Ameri-
can citizen, no matter of what de-
scent or shade of opinion, to give evil
dence of the most loyal and whole
hearted support of the government in
the present conflict. I like to believe
that there is not a man or woman
among the more than thirty thousand
employees of the treasury depart
ment, scattered throughout the union,
who is not willing to make any sacri-
! flee, even if it be the supreme sacri-
! flee, for the service of the country
1t is not, of course, possible for ev-
/ cry one to shed blood in this righteous
! cause. 1t is just as important that
many shall remain at their posts in
civil life, in order that they may con
tribute to the effectiveness of those
I who must go to the front. The Ques-
| ton is: What specific thing can those
| of US do who cannot enlist IN the
| military or naval arm of the govern
ment? We can do this, at least: We
can all contribute something to the
Red Cross, and through that agency
aid in alternating the sufferings OF
those who must make the great sacri-
| flee upon the field of battle.
| wish to have a roll of honor OF
| those employees who subscribe to this
fund as a permanent record in the de-
! partment in Washington. AS soon as
, possible after the contributions have
been made, I shall call a meeting Of
/ all the women employees of the de.
/ partment in Washinton for the pur
! pose of considering the best means
/ of converting the materials to b.
bought with the funds subscribed int,
! finished products for the use of TIL
! Red Cross.
I look forward with keen 10Y to ;
realization of my highest expectation
of the enthusiasm, the loyalty an,
| the patriotism of the employees 0
the treasury department in this grea
national crisis.
I (Signed) w. G. McADOO.

REV. RICE SAYS

Rev. Herbert w. Rice. Of the Gads-

of his visit with Recorder Semmes
to Mrs. Sharpless last Monday, de-
clared that Mr. Semmes, after tell
ing Mrs. Sharpless of the work the
city had been doing in the direction
of social cleanliness, had asked her
to let him know if she discovered an
illegal house in operation, and he
would have it closed Immediately Mr.
Rice further stated that he had heard,
but had not verified, rumors of as
signatiOn houses said to be in oper-
alton, but that Mr. Semmes assured

Want a New Trail For
The indians.

Most of those who claim to be
friends of the Indians cannot give
credit to the Indians that they can
get along without support, one
way or another, and therefore they
must do something in order to
help them. They believe if there
is any one who can help them it is
the Government with it's Indian
Office. They claim it is the duty
of the Government to do for the
Indians and not the people; 50 they
go on preaching blindly thinking
there is remedy in the Indian
Office system. Contrary to this
belief WASSAJA is striving in
every way TO counteract such no.
ton. We know that the Indians
can take care of themselves. The
Indians throughout the country
laugh at such idea that they can
not take care of themselves with
out the Indian Office. They are
tired of being dominated b. the

Pesthumous Notes..

The present editor recently came
across some notes made by the late

rion. The words ITO be confirm

was to have been of some length.
We publish the article without ad
dltion or alteration so that our
readers may feel that "Gus'' is
speaking to them directly, even
though the brain is silenced and
the mind has gone to another and
q strange world:

Yits Psint.
We mentioned in our last issue
that many treaties had been made
by the United States with the
Chippe WAS, and we add that it Che
Governmenl) failed in every in
stance to fulfill any Of these as In
dian history, if not Government
records show.
While the Indians do not cha rye
downright dishonesty Oh the part
Of the United States, from Il large
moral point Of view they will at
least say, advantages were taken
of technical points, and construc
tons were placed upon treaties
which were contrary to the plainly
expressed agreements between the
representatives Of the government,
and the Chippewas; as the latter
we're made to understand them.
And let us look upon another
situation that was of no credit t.
the United States. In 1912, the
year in which war broke out be
tween tbs country and Great
Britain, the United States failed tc
fulfill treaty stipulations with the
American Chippewas, because
Tecumseb, with the Canadian
Chippewas, became allies Of Great
Britain. The United States
thought perhaps that all the Chip
pewas including those who were
American Chippewas, would ac1
alike. But this, if at first enter
tanned, should have been put on'
of mind by the speedy succeeding
events.

Our Grievances

We had US people been vague.
~ aware for many year that
Germany was no friend OF ours.
There was a vague spirit Of con.
seriousness, that given a plausible
opportunity she would make wal
upon US. She has never liked our
Monroe doctrine; the Venezuelan
incident was almost a defiance.
Admiral Deitrick's actions in
Manila Bay was another evidence
of Germany's seeking her oppor-
tunity.
And since the beginning of the
European war. and when victory
seemed to be hers, she has less
concealed the mailed fist extend
ing also towards Us.
The Lusitania incident was one
straw, then other things followed,
but in. the interest of our own
peace, and in our sense of neutral
lty we bore insults scarcely con-
cealed.
The time came when self-respect
nationally had to be shown. so we
declared war.
lntrigues against US were not of
birth only since we proclaimed
war, they began before.
But all this was of current bis
tory.
