Gentlemen
It was our experience that all Of
the representatives of Texas towns
and cities at this convention appear.
ed to have but one thing in mind
cooperative effort and spirit for the
Improvement and development Of
Texas, which to our mind was q
very valuable and admirable charac-
teristic. With your permission we
beg to recommend that campaign
be inaugurated by the Chamber Of
Commerce Of Morgan City and Ber-
wick to bring about a better under
standing and community interest be-
tween our sister cities, towns and
villages and the rural country az
well. We find that the lack Of coop
GRAFTON and unity purpose between
our several villages, towns and cities
is due altogether to a lack Of ac-
quaintance. We are unacquainted
and unfamiliar with the customs and
conditions because of lack of inter-
course. This is due to the fact that
although q few miles separated us in
space, yet we must travel long, out
of-the-way, tortuous routes to reach
our nearest neighbors.
As the City Government of Nor
gan City is always willing to do its
part toward the ,upbuilding and. de-
veloping the adjacent country it is
the duty Of this organization to make
known our wants to the outer COM
munities and to assist in bringing
about a better understanding. This

The Tomahawk. [volume] (White Earth, Becker County, Minn.) 1903-192?, 1917-08-09

Another affidavit by .Antione
Guyette, also a member of the
Bad River Reservation, sets forth
that he was arrested with his aunt,
another Indian woman, and his
daughter. and also his sister, for
being intoxicated; that this arrest
was not justified, but in order to
assist his relatives he pleaded
guilty to the charge and immedi
ately retained T. L. St. Germaine,
an attorney who is member of
the Chippewa tribe, to defend
them.
Mr.. St. Germaine insisted upon
having a jury trial which the de-
PENDANTS wanted in order to be
indicated, but the superintendent
was opposed to this. In letter
to the Indian office at Washington,
Mr.. St. Germaine pays his compli-
ments to the police of Ashland,
who, he says. arrest and have In
dams fined upon the slightest pre-
text in order to collect these fines
from them. For instance, he says
that an Indian is usually arrested
and fined by the municipal Judge
of Ashland sixty days or five dol
lars costs, and the fines are invari-
ably paid; that Supt. Everest has
never taken any action to prevent
the municipal authorities from
committing these repeated out
RACES upon the Indians which are
merely to pay the municipal courts
expenses.
Mr.. St. Germaine further states:
Il wish to 90 on record US saying
that p. S. Everest, Superintendent
CT the La Pointe Agency, is malicl-
ously disposed to the Indian IN
stead of having his welfare at
heart" He also severely arraigns
the superintendent for his activity
in securing the conviction Of an
old Indian named Kakake, who
The Tomahawk. [volume] (White Earth, Becker County, Minn.) 1903-192?, 1917-08-09

was sentenced to serve one year IN
prison a, Fort Levenwortn for
introducing half pint of Whlskey
upon the Bad River Reservation.
Judging from Mr.. St. Ger"
mains letter to the Indian office,
Supt. Everest must be very
vicious man and who will hesitate
at nolhings1o punish his enemies.
Mr.. St. Germaine has evidently
not had much experience with
su perintenden,s of the same class
as Supt. Everest, but Indian res
ervations are full of them and this
is another strong argument why
the law should ABOLISHED superin-
tendents who, in fact, are made
such to keep them in the SIudian
service indefinitely. Indians from
reservations generally should all
make an issue of trying 20 get rid
of superintendent SO that the old
system of placing Indian agents
oyer the Indians may be resumed,
and in the event that an agent is
unsatisfactory to them they would
have to submit only four years to
his probable acts of injustice.
The Tomahawk. [volume] (White Earth, Becker County, Minn.) 1903-192?, 1917-08-09

helpless Indians more than from
other sources that might have self
ish motives in their praise of a
superintendent.
There is no doubt that when the
law which permits the Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs was passed
Congress had in view such men as
Supt. Dickens to fill all the posi-
tons in the Indian service, but
unfortunately for the Indians the
law has been an utter failure and
very rarely have superintendent
been what might be termed sue
cessful in the administration of
Indian agencies.
A new superintendent banned
Meyers has recently taken charge
of the Leech Lake agency who is
also we'll spoken of by the Indians,
but be- has not had the severe tests
that Supt. Dickens has undergone,
so that it is too early to give him
the same credit as the Red Lake
superintendent.
BY all means the revision of the
laws should repeal the right given
to the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs to appoint superintendent
in pla ices of Indian agents. The
object of the law was no doubt to
extend the civil service law over
every position in the Indian SER
vice so that an employe might be
more careful in order to continue
to hold his position, but the expert
ence upon Indian reservations has
convinced not only all the Indians
bnt many whites that it has been
not only an absolute failure but a
farce. There never was stronger
ring in the Indian service in the
history of the country than exists
today, and this is not only caused
by superintendents but extends al
along The line to the mostinsignif-
cant clerk in the service; each one
has more or less to say regarding
the policy which has been in ex-
istence among the Indians for
years.
Abolish superintendent and
give the Indians a chance to be-
come independent men and not
serfs, and likewise make them in
dependent of warehouse influences.
The Tomahawk. [volume] (White Earth, Becker County, Minn.) 1903-192?, 1917-08-09
Should Revise The Law
Relative To Superin-
tendentS.

What a great blessing it would
be to the Indians throughout the
country if the revision of the d.
dian laws which Congress proposes
to make would strike out of the
present law the proviso which per-
mits the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs to substitute superintend-
ents for Indian agents.
The old system of Indian agents
had it's bad features but it could
not begin to compare with the
viciousness and injustice that have
existed since superintendent ex-
clusively have had charge Of In
dian affairs.
Former Indian agents as a rule
we're persons who by experience
knew how to deal with men and
until they had been in the service
several years among Indians sell
dom took advantage of the ignor-
ance of some of the latter, and it
was not until their terms of office
were about to expire that they be-
came as arbitrary as nearly all
superintendents are, and as dis
honest.
1t is admitted, however, that
occasionally there are exceptions
to the rule even among superin-
tendents. In this connection Supt.
Dickens of Red Lake is mentioned
by those who have been thrown III
close contact with him as being
one of the most conspicuous of the
superintendents who is not only an
exec ption to the rule but a very
strong one.
Supt. Dickens has been at Red
Lake for several years and he
stands better with all the Indians
there than he ever did; his popu.
IIarity increases as his work for the
Red Lake Indians progresses. We
are but slightly acquainted with
Supt. Dickens, but our intorma
ton regarding him and his work
has been obtained from ignorant,
The Tomahawk. [volume] (White Earth, Becker County, Minn.) 1903-192?, 1917-08-09

ed to sci! it to him for 5000; tina
at the time this proposition wa:
made by Mr.. Culver he stated tt
Mr.. Mannypenny that an order or
Supt. Everest would be accepted
and that there would be no trouble
in having the order honored. Mr.
Mannypenny refused to consider
the proposition on the grounds
that the land Is of no value fol
farm purposes, but he called upor
Supt. Everest and informed hin
of the predictment in which he
had been placed by the latter
Supt. Everest then said he would
have the buildings, which were on
cement foundations, moved to the
allotment of Mr.. Mannypenny if
he would agree to pay three hund.
red dollars for having this done
but which the latter refused to
pay. Upon a complaint filed with
the Commissioner of Indian Affairs
an Indian inspector appeared upon
the scene, but the latter failed to
interview Mr.. Mannypenny re-
gardlng his grievance.
Subsequent to the visit of the
inspector, Supt. Everest had the
buildings removed from the brew
ing company's land to the allot
ment of Mr.. Mannypenny, and the
latter has been informed that
three hundred dollars oe his funds
have been used to pay the expense
of removing the buildings.
On account of the report he
made to the Commissioner of In
dian Affairs, Mr.. Mannypennv's
affidavit states that the superin-
tendent and the Indian farmer
have exhibited bitter feelings to.

tally used abusive language to-

which belong to him.

the publisher in the la:ter's room
at the National Hotel at Washing

and in the course of the evening
the latter handed him a copy of
the pamphlet referred to, and this
is how he made the discovery of
the proposed great steal"
No bill has yet been introduced
in Congress to compensate the
publisher for the balance due him,
and Coffey, did not state the truth
when he said he had obtained the
pamphlet from Congressman Lind
berg, for the publisher has deliv-
cred only one copy to congress

Van Dyke.
Jim Coffey's furnished reputa-
ton for truth is being sustained
by him not only before the Indian
committee of the United states, as
quoted in The ToMAHAwK recent

Gil. 1t has seldom been known
where falsehoods would win out
on an issue, and Coffey is 50 care
