PREACH DOCTRINE OF
FOOD CONSERVATION
saving Food the Paramount Issue
Among Housewives of Skowheean

Food Conservation. Save food and
win the war. These are the slogans
of several Skowhegan women, who
have. during the past week, done all
in their power to instill in the minds
of local housewives just what import
ance the saving of food has in the out
come of the present war The town
has been canvassed by these workers
and all have been urged to do their
bit by saving, saving, and then saving.
They agree that Herbert C. Hoover.
the food administrator, does not ask
that the people starve themselves but
that they do without the little luxuries
of life which have no needfu place
on the table, These women, who
visited the many homes in town also
made it quite clear that the nation
having the most adequate food supply
would be the winner and b. saving

chairman of the House Indian
Committee; they feel now that a
representative who is thoroughly
familiar with Indian matters and
conditions aulong Indians may be
able to shape matters so that there
will be some improvement in the
Indian service.
The chairman of the House In
dian committee is not by any
means the sole power on the House
Indian committee, but his influence
is never ignored by Congress re-
garding Indian matters, so that
the Indians of the country have
much to look forward to.
Among the Indian delegates who
are familiar with affairs at WASH
ington, it is we'll known that they
can rely upon all the members of
the committees on Indian affairs
of both the Senate and the House,
and this is great satisfaction to
them; the consideration to which
the Indians are entitled is becom-
ing largely recognized by the
Indian committees.
If the Indian Office would follow
the laws passed by Congress as the
representatives thereof intended
they should be followed, there
would be no Indian troubles such
as exist upon reservations now.

A True Representative OF
Indian Tribes.

Senator Curtis, while he was in
the House of Representatives at
Washington, was frequently act
ing chairman of the committee on
Indian affairs of the House, but it
remained for Charles Carter, of
Oklahoma, to be selected by Con
gress as chairman of that commit
tee, and thus for the first time in
the history of the nation a member
of an Indian tribe is chairman of
one of two of the most important
committees in Congress to the
American Indians.
Congressman Carter seems to be
thoroughly in sympathy with the
Indians throughout the country,
and those who know him are de-
aighted with his appointment as
The Tomahawk. [volume] (White Earth, Becker County, Minn.) 1903-192?, 1917-04-12

complish much, if anything, in
this respect. He has in fact had a
combination that has been too
strong for him and towards which
he has been too lenient. Recently,
while the Chippewa delegation
from this reservation was at Wash
ington, the members thereof did
not hesitate to state plainly to him
that the curse of the Indian SER
vice we're the arbitrary acts Of
superintendent of Indian reser-
vations, and he shook his head and
said, ''They are intoxicated with
their power. -
1t would be great blessing to
the cause of the Indians if Com
missioner Sells would take matters
into his own hands in a more posi-
tive manner than he has done for
the past four years, and cease to
tolerate a superintendent who does
not follow The instructions of the
Indian office, or who is so arbitrary
that Russia in its worst days was a
free land as compared to reser-
walton with such an administration
as he gives the Indians over whose
affairs he has charge.
The heart of the American PEG
pie has been reached and the In
dians throughout the country
should keep before the former
what is desired among all classes
concerning Indian affairs. Intelli
gent members of all the Indian
tribes should brave the misrepre-
sensations of superintendent to
the Indian office, and if they can
not get any relief from the Com
missioner Of Indian Affairs, they
should appeal to Congress where
the sentiment IS strong in behalf
of the American Indians.

UNWARRANTED Inter.
FERENCE.

Supt. Hinton had the precedent
of interfering with the election of
the 18th of June officers on the
part OF the Indians of this reser-
walton established by John How
ard, and in this as we'll as in
everything else he is following the
footsteps of Howard.
We can hardly believe that Supt.
Hinton is as vicious a man as How.
ard is, but we do believe that his
chief clerk dominates the affairs
of the agency office here, and it is
quite probable that he is largely
responsible for the continuation of
the Howard policies.
Mr.. Hinton is too easily intlu-
enced by his subordinates, and his
chief clerk, Six, who was unsatis-
factory to the Indians at at least
two of the agencies where he was
formerly employed, and who was
transferred to this reservation, is
the power behind the throne. .
There is not the least doubt that
Supt. Hinton has been influenced by
hiss ubordinates to issue IA notice to
hold a meeting for the selection of
the celebration committee officers
npon a date different from that
fixed by the president of the local
council of this reservation.
If the superintendent is really
taking an active interest in the
selection of the officers of the cele-
bration because he believes it
comes within the purview of his
authority as superintendent to do
so, he should have fixed the same
date of meeting as that fixed by
the local council officers and thus

Stations.

Uncle Sam will use the movies"
in recruiting.
The United States government
has officially decided to use motion
pictures as the means tc increase
enlistments in..the three branches
of servlce-the army, navy and
marine corps.
'Womanhood, the Glory of the
Nation,' has been selected oy the
navy to increase enlistment to a
point where every vessel in the navy
will. have full complement of
men.
A recruiting officer and a medi-
cal examiner will be stationed at
every theatre in the larger cities
of the country during the entire
run of ''Womanhood.'' Lobby
displays will be utilized to an
nounce that temporary recruiting
Office has been established and the
work will be carried on just ex-

Indian Service Needs
Reforms.

AS a preface to the book entitled
"a Century of Dishonor'' a state
ment by Bishop Whipple is pub
lished in which be says: More
has been done to civilize the In
dams in the past twelve years than
in any period Of our history The
Indian Ring has fought the new
policy at every step; and yet, not
withstanding our Indian wars, our
violated treaties, and our wretched
system, thousands of Indians, who
were poor, degraded savages, are
now living as Christian, civilized
men. There was time when it
seemed impossible to secure the
attention of the Government to
any wrongs done to the Indians; it
is not so today. The Government
does listen to the friends of the In
dians, and many of the grosser
forms of robbery are stopped. No
permanent reforms can be secured
until the heart of the people is
touched.
In 1862 l visited Washington to
lay before the Administration the
causes which had desolated our
| fair State with the blood of those
slain by Indian massacre. After
pleading il vain, and finding no
redress, Secretary Stanton said to
friend, What does the Bishop
| want?' II he came here to tell US
that our Indian system is a sink of
[iniquisy, tell him we all know it..
Tell him the United States never
cures wrong until the people de-
mand it; and when the hearts of
the people are reached the Indian
will be saved"
This is voice from the grave,
for it is many winters since Bishop
Whipple passed to his long rest.
Had he lived until today, he would
have known that the hearts of the
American people lad been reached,
and that there is a persistent cry
on their part to wipe out the effects
of "A Century of Dishonor."
Not only have the hearts of the
people in general been reached but
likewise the hearts of their repre-
sentatives in Congress, who for
several years past have been Civ
ing more than usual attention to-
wards trying to correct the evils
which exist in tie Indian service.
Commissioner Sells has tried to
some extent, since be has been in
the service, to correct the system
of governing and administering
the affairs of the Indians, but he
has for some reason failed to &C
