that as soon as the saloons were def

along the most approved lines of
racial development.
How unjust it is to the Indian
and to the administrator to pluck
man from political life and place
him at the head of Indian affairs.
1t is unjust to the Indian because
the administrator has had 10 time
or opportunity to make definite
and systematic study of his task.
1t is unjust to the man 50 appoint
ed, for it takes him from the lines
of usefulness that have been his
lifetime study and practice, and
gives him strange and unfamiliar
duties. The man who really knows
the philosophical elements of race
adjustment and who might render
the red race and the American ma
ton a real service is thrust aside
for man appointed as a political
reward. Good man though he
may be how unjust to all con-
cerned to expect him to plan with
studious insight.
1t is doubtful whether a political
appoinuee Can ever understand his
task. Swung from his chosen
profession he is plunged into his
new position only to find himself
enguIfed in a mass of duties, and
surrounded by scores of self-ap.
pointed advisers. Local questions
arise, quick decisions are required,
political expediency must be con-
sidered, teachings of subordinate
employees digested, and 50 the
days go by. By this time the
mind of the administrator may be
warped or prejudiced along certain
lines, and all hope of systematic
and logical study gone.

Politics Out Of Place In
Indian Affairs.

The administration of Indian
affairs should be lifted clean out
of any influence of partisan poll
tics. The business of the govern
ment with the Indians is one of
human dealing. 1t is the work of
fulfilling Just promises and of
making men and wemen intelligent,
responsive citizens. This work is
one of social hygiene and requires
the expert direction of men and
women who know something about
human science.
The destiny of a race is vital
thing; the group of men which
directs this desting has tremen-
dous responsibility. 1t is not
enough that these men realize this
responsibility; they must surely
know every element of their task
and insist upon the highest effici-
ency in their subordinates. At
the very beginning of their as
sumption of power or soon there
after, they must have a definite
policy, a logical program, that

The notorious Helen Pierce
Grey, who has frequently been
mentioned in the public press of
the country in connection with In
dian matters, received the atten-
ton of the committee on Inc ian
affairs Of the United States Senate
recently for several days, but in
the end the atidavits attacking
her character generally contained
such vile statements that the COM
mittee decided to not allow them
to be put into the record.
Mrs. Grey has made herself
very obnoxious to the Indian office
at Washington, and as result
Supervisor Linnen, of the office,
was detailed to look up her record.
According to his report and the
affiiavits he claimed to have Sc
cured against her, Mrs. Grey is
not al angel.
But from the general knowledge
upon Indian reservations of the
manner in which Supervisor Lin
nen has been in the habit of draw
ing upon his imaginations regard
Ing the preparation of affdavits
for ignorant, uneducated Indians
to sign, those he secured against
Mrs. Grey may or may not have
any foundations; the chances are
that they are largely false.
In tue land cases upon this res
ervation Tie TOMAHAwK has I'M
disputable proof that Supervisor
Linnen drew affidavits that he got
ignorant, non English speaking In
dians to sign who knew absolutely
not what they were signing.
Every Chippewa-Engllsh speaking
person among the Chippewas who
have read the atfidavits will vouch
for this under oath, for the atfi-
davits contain statements which
it is impossible to interpret into
the Chippewa dialect. Had the
Graham Committee given the pro-
gressive Indians an opportunity to
introduce their testimony instead
of suddenly shutting them out,
they would have shown Supervisor
LINEN up in his true light.
But we do not make the state

The Wrongs OF The
Menominee Indians,
Grand Council of American Indians Should
Take Notice.

When one takes a retrospective
view of the actions of the Federal
Government in it's guardianship
over the Indian, as exercised
through the Indian Bureau, he is
rresistably forced to the conclu-
sion that at Times the Indian Bur
eau confuses the word "dissipa'
ton" with the word ''protection>',
that instead Of protecting the In
dian property, it is the medium
and fundamentally through which
the property of the Indian is dis
sipated. The word 'protectlon'
is defined by the photographer to
mean:
THAT which protects. shelters,
or preserves from danger, injury,
or evil"
The word ''dissipation' is de-
fined by the photographer to mean:
The act Of wasting or squander-,
ing.''
A striking Illustration of this
has recently come to light by
judgments entered in che Court of
Claims against the Menominee
tribe of Indians in Wisconsin.
Prior to 1906 the Menominee In
dams conducted their own logging
operations without supervision or
control by any federal authority.
As result of the operations con-
Quoted by the Indians extending
over only a few years, they amas
sed fund on deposit in the Treas
ury of the United States to their
credit, amounting to about 50, $780,
900, which represented the profits
from their logging operations. On
the Menom,nee reservation in Wis
consin there was one of the finest
stands of virgin forests to be found
anywhere in this country. In 1906
the officers of the Indian Bureau
conceived the idea that the Me-
nominee Indians should not be
permitted to continue their log
cling operations in their own un-
scientific, crude way, that they
should be taken out of their hands
and placed under the control OF
the Indian Bureau and conducted
upon the most modern aud scien-
tific basis. Accordingly Congress
was asked to enact laws placing
the logging operations under the
control of the Indian Bureau, with
which request Congress complied.
Under the Congressional legisla-
ton the Indian Bureau succeeded
to all the authority heretofore
exercised b.y the Indians, and the
Indians were deprived of any voice
in the cutting and sale of their
own timber. For nine years the
timber operations on the Menom-
inee reservation have been con-
Quoted under the fostering care
and ''protection'' of the Indian
Bureau and what has been the re-
suit? The choice timber on the
reservation has been culled, cut
and sold; only the more inferior
grades remain standing. During
these nine years Of operations
under the scientific methods OF
the Indian Bureau" the logging
operations have barely paid over
head charges. How much better OFT
uo,I1 the Indians have been If
