The ''cussing'' parson, the Rev.
CL. Lenhart. has been called to
the conference of the German
Methodist Episcopal Church to de-
fend himself against the charges of
profanity and disloyalty. As we
recall the incidents, Mr.. Lenhart
spoke as a German loyal to the
kaiser, and consigned our Presi-
dent to the regions of Satan. The
gentleman has been indefinitely
suspended by his brethren of the
German Methodist ministry aud is
in internment, and the government
may yet deal with him aud send
him to the penitentiary.

against the, bureau for 10, these
many years.
Perhaps though he follows our
good friend Wassajs in deducing
an :entente cordiale between the
Indian Office on account of the late
editors views upon Indian man
agement. The late editor believed
that the Indian bureau should not
be abolished, but put under the
management of q commission, a
bill for which purpose was intro
duced by Senator Curtis of Kan
sas, Kaw Indian, at the last
session of Congress.
The late editor was practical
first, and then only sentimental
and art loving and poetic.
True history, art, poetry and
philosophy have their places in the
scheme of things, but stern reality
must first be faced and practical
wrongs overcome before attention
is focused upon the cultural things
which belong to the regions of
esthetics. Esthetic philosophy
must give way for a time to the
consideration of materialistic ethics
and everyday we'll being. THE
ToMAHAwK, it must be confessed,
has never occupied the chair of
esthetics of an aboriginal Univer-
sity, it has considered of first
importance the physical welfare of
the Indian, not concerning itself
with the advancement of ideas
upon the finer things of the old
life that undoubtedly did exist 10

Tipi Order Of. America,

-
the reel pient of a letter from one
Red Fox (Skiuhuska) an Indian of
the blood tribe (Kainau) pertaining
to the Blackfeet Nation (Siskiska-
war). This Indian signs himself,
''Supreme Most High Chief of
Tipi Order of America" Ac-
companying this letter was a
printed form headed "Tipi Order
CT America Blackfeet Sioux Tribe
New York City Council, l. L.
This Council evidently is White
''Red Man, fraternity. Says this
printed sheet: ''This Tipi Order of
America is thoroughly American
order, have government board
composed of Red race assisted by
the White races of America.
Ideals are to stand out for
three principles-Belief in the
Great Spirit, Our Country, and
work for the rights justly due to
the North American Indians, which
America owes to this most dis
honored race.
''Our Order, to promote the
principles of the Order and aim to
spread the same throughout the
United States and America which
is based on Tlpi Ten Command
ments.
1.-The Ten Commandments are
1 Obedience is Indians first duty.
| 2 Courage is braves highest gift.
3 Love and help thy brother.
4 One kindness every day. ~.
5 Fair play in game of life.
6 Smoking is an act of reverence
and friendship. X =
X No abuse in its use Of fire water.
| 8 Promote beauties Of nature. " 4 4
9 Love for silence.
| 10 Word of honor is sacred.'
The seventh commandment bears
trace of change from some origin,
al, some words being. erased, and
the words written in. in it's use. .
This is sighed by Black Hawk
de Roctimann, Great Tally Chief,
900 Faustina Ave., Bucyrus, Ohio.
Red Fox signs his letter at In
dian Steps Cabin, Muddy Greek.
| York Co., Penn.
We confess to a little degree OF
perplexity over the three distinct
mentioned names Of locality. We
will assume however thaG the order
is genuine and has large and wise
purpose for the INDIAN; out of
door life for the white race; the
promotion of a spirit of fellowship
between the red and white races;
the preservation of Indian true
history, Indian legends, music,
art, Indian craft and teachings of
Indian philosophy, and its use in
the rituals of the order.
The order aims to secure justice
for the Indians, to obtain for them
citizenship rights, and authority
for them to go into the Court of
Claims. 1t desires to promote
American Indian Day and it's OBJ
servance, second Saturday in May
in honor Of the aboriginal Amer
leans.
Its aims are mostly altruistic,
and born of sentimen: which in
this day has sentimentalistic ring
that is peculiar to the Eastern
states.
Q The autograph letter from. Red
Fox does not seem to credit the
Society of North American H.
dams with any degree of indepen-
dence of the Indian bureau, and
asks The ToMAHAwK pointed
question, "Is it your purpose like
the Magazine of Society of Ameri-
can Indians to serve two masters.
Indian Office at Washington and
servants of the Indians, and yet
not working to uplift the race?"
| Red Fox evidently has not read
THE ToMAHAwK Understandings
during the course of its existence,
flor he never would charge it with
! being the servant of the Indian
! bureau.

yesterday afternoon when the promo

letter on the subject TO the Lasky

the chamber of commerce rooms at
their regular meeting.
The letter will be in the nature of q
correction Of the Misrepresentation
Of the picture and an invitation to the
movie producers to come to Hawaii
where they may obtain the genuine
BACKGROUND for Hawaiian pictures
Particular effort will be made to point
out the understandable and the incon

in the picture. Another feature con-
sidered especially out of place in the
picture IS the scene of an OK cart
pulled bv a donkey and an elephant.

done for them.
There was no discussion of a new

way to the troops here and he felt
that this would be worth while. The
army authorities gladly accepted the
offer Now that the book is out. the
author has volunteered MS services
as instructor certain times during the
week to the troops on Oahu.
A patriotic touch IS given in the
first page of the book with the words
of the stirring Marseillaise hymn. This
is followed Dy easy phrases in French
and English, and the conjugation Of 4
number of French verbs Many OF the
expressions are such as will come ir
handy at the front.
One phrase-de la boue jusQu'au

to the neck" seems to give grave
prophecy OF winter in Flanders. but
again there is the comforting 'AveZ-

scent the sweet fragrance of burning
''makins" and the delight of rest after
hard day in the trenches.
