ITO give educated, or otherwise
capable, Indians larger part in
the administration of Indian affairs,
and to let the Indians generally
know more about what is being
done for them-these are two
essentials of reform in our Indian
Bureau.
II have no complaint to make
against the personnel of the bureau.
The days of the wholly incompe-
tent political agent are safely past.
and in aggregate numbers Indian
employees of the government make
a fine showing. But in friendly
earnest I want to say this: So far
Us have been able to see, it is all
but impossible for the sort of ed
ucated Indians l know b"st-lead-
ers in our own Society of Ameri-
can lndians-to work for the
Indian Bureau, and therefore for
their people. Either they never
get chance at any responsible
position, or they get into hot
water and are turned out as
trouble makers'-a phrase much
used in the Indian service.
why are they branded as
trouble makers?' l don't know
positively, but l have very good
idea. Being Indian, and sympa-
thetic, they find out great many
things that need attention-matters
involving neglect, inattention,
petty criminality and immoralities
They bring these matters to the
notice of the agent or superintend-
ent. He is working hard, and
convinced that he is doing we'll as
an administrator. He resents hav.
ing criticisms of his policy thrust
under his eyes. He sends a COM

the Indian office and those upon

There was a time in the history
of the Jewish people when mill

the words, "Would to God we

These words we would apply to
the attitude of those who would

people, and the voice of those who
would bring about situations where
the discomfort is, and which we
here qualify with the word laud-

We do not charge the Indian
office nor the field with a desire of
looking backwards, of rejecting
upon old conditions and to instil in
the Indian the desire to return to

trouble at the Agency Office.
Mr.. Frank Beaulieu went there
in the pursuit Of legitimate bust
ness connected with exemptions.
Mr.. Hinton had on previous &C.
.casions transacted business PLEAS
eantly with Mr. Beaulieu, but this
time Mr.. Six, chief clerk, inter-
fered. 1t is needless to recount the
words that ensued, yet it may be
said that Mr.. Beaulieu told Mr..
Six some direct truths in such a
way indeed as to prompt Mr.. Hin
ton to threaten Mr.. Beaulieu with
expulsion from the Office. 1t is
needless to say that he was not
alarmed nor silenced-and further,
be was not expelled.
Mr.. SKIS remarks upon young
men who we're exercising their
rights to claim exemption under
the War Departments ruling we're
uncalled for, and Mr.. Beaulieu
was right in resenting them.
If Mr.. Six thinks that the gov
ernment needs the Chippewa boys,
he might set them an example by
enlisting himself. The way is open
to him to offer his services, to set
an example, and to prove the
courage he claims to possess. Ac
ton, Mr.. Six, in this direction
will look better than mere incita.

A Noted Indians Tribute
To the Late Publisher.

WV
The following is taken from
Wassaja, a paper published in
Chicago by Doctor Carlos Monte
yuma, all Apache:
He has taken his part on the
stage of life; the curtain has fallen;
and we see him no more. =
"WASSAJA cannot realize that
Gus H. Beaulieu has left US to
fight our own battles. The man
who swayed The Tomahawk' is
silent; his spirit has left US, and
now, what shall we say of him2
Our first meeting was in 1895,
on a train in Minnesota, while le-
cruiting students for the Carlisle
Indian School. He was courteous
and pleasant--Indian like, he was
simple and composed. The i'm
preston he made on our mind was
that he thoroughly believed in
General Pratt's system of educa-
ton. for he had several relatives
attending the Carlisle School; and
that he was alert on Indian mat
tiers.
THE next time we met was at
the Conference of the Society of
American Indians at Madison,
Wis.,, in 1914. He seemed to be
surprised with the Society, but he
was in doubt whether it Was work
ing for the best interests of tue
Indians. His idea was there we're
too many opinions and not enough
harmony to do any good.
We must give Gus the credit of
being the first to publish an Indian
paper in this, country From~ the
beginning The Tomahawk, was "a
fighter. WASSAJA knows this,
because soon after it's first issue,
he gave WASSAJA a hard hit:
That We had been away from the
Indians since childhood and had
lived ip Chicago 80 long that we
were not in position to judge the
Indians wants accurately
ITO his keen criticism we made
a reply, but it was never publish
ed. No doubt be saw his mistake,
for WASSAJA had been on more
reservations than Beaulieu had
ever seen at that time.
''On White Earth reservation be
was about the best known man.
He held positions that brought
him face to face with every Indian
and public man of his state. In his
last days he was looking after the
interest of his race, that involved
millions of dollars. To do this
work he had to be in Washington
most of the time.
I'VE Indians do not miss man,
who has sacrificed for US, until he
leaves US and cannot do any more
for US. The Ch1ppewas of Mime
sofa had put all the burden of
their affairs on Gus Beaulieu's
shoulders, thinking he would live
long enough to help them in their
rights. But not 50, he is dead.
The question is, who will take
his place? 1t will be hard to put
like character in his place. Some
may be glad that he is gone, but
most of US are sad to lose such a
great Indian. He reached the
climax of his greatness and we
shall never forget him.
1T behooves US Indians to strive
on and try to fill the gap of his
ideals that he had for his people.
Good bye Gus-you have fought
a good fight. Our spirits are with
you.

LEONARD IS AMBITIOUS
 FOR THREE TITLES
'by Ii. C. Hamilton, United Press
 Staff Correspondent

'Dy H. C. Hamilton, United Press
 Staff Correspondent
 New York, Oct. 12-Benny Leonard. the capable youth who holds the worlds lightweight championship. wants to hold also the welterweight and middleweight titles of the world. lie wants to attempt what he proved couldn't be done by men in his class.
 Billy Gibson, manager of the cham plon, declares once upon a time Ben nearly knocked out Jim Coffey, heavy weight, while the pair were boxing in a gymnasium. He believes Benny would be able to outbox Mike Gibbons and he is willing for the youngster to go against Ted Lewis, probably the most dangerous of the lot for Leonard.
 If Benny should be able to do all the things Billy Gibson claims for him he would take his place alongside the Sphinx and the Pyramids as one of the wonders of the world, for never has there been a lightweight who as- pired to such heights. Good as he is. 1t seems Benny is taking in just little bit too much territory.
 It will be long time before the public and Leonard forget what the lightweight champion did to John kilbane when they met in Philadel- phia shortly after Kilbane and Leon- ard had each beaten Freddie Welsh. Leonard gave Kilbane the worst beat ing of his career.
 Kilbane is considered the highest type of fighter in the business, not even excepting Leonard. He is con- ceded to be just as good in his own class as Leonard is in the lightweight division, yet Leonard beat him. That was the old story of good big man against a good little man, and there is no reason to believe Leonard would be able to reverse the order of things should he meet heavier man.
 Ted Lewis is one of the hardest hit ters in the game. Likewise, he is very clever boxer. Mike Gibbons is one of the greatest boxers the game ever saw. Leonard is taking a long chance to step into a ring with Lewis. And it would be Imaginable to see him try to land a right hand smash on Gibbons jaw. The best of the middle weights have tried it, only to fail miserably.

WOMAN EXPLAINS HOW
 TO PREPARE SILAGE
(By United Press.)

Sedalio, Mo-, Oct. 12.-Much mas been said about silage for cows. Let's prepare this year for some silage for ourselves.
 This is the advice of Miss Louise Stanley, of the University of Missouri who says that cabbage has been abundant in Missouri this year and urges no one to allow head to waste;
 ITO prepare silage" Miss Stanley explains:
 Remove carefully the outer leaves of the head and any decayed parts. Quarter the heads and remove the hard center core, then shred the cab bage with one of the hand shredders or cut in thin slices with knife. Pack immediately into a water-tight recep- tacle-a stone jar or crock for small amounts, or cider or wine keg for larger ts-distributing salt in the proportion of one pound to each forty pounds of cabbage. Be sure that the salt is distributed evenly through the cabbage.
 "When the container is nearly full press down tight. cover with clean cloth and a board slightly smaller than the container, on which may be placed a weight of sufficient heaviness to bring the brine up to the wooden cover. This should be set aside until

AMERICAN, FRENCH, GERMAN
 ATTACHES MEET" AGAIN
(By Henry Wood, United Press Staff
 Correspondent.)


 Correspondent)
 With the French Armies, Sept 25 (By Mail. .)-When the victorious French poilus swept up the slopes of Morthomme recently the fortunes of war brought together on the same field of battle three generals, who as lieutenants had served together as military attaches with the Russian army in the Manchurian campaign. One of these was General Corvisart, commanding the troops who wrested the final possession of Morthomme from the Germans. A second one was General Pershing, commanding the American Expeditionary Corps in France. The third one will be named later. During the Russian-Japanese war, half a dozen of the military at taches of the great powers messed together and constituted practically a little family. All of them were lieu tenants then.
 When Corvisart and Pershing, both of whom have become generals since then, met by accident just before the second battle of Verdun, and renewed their old Manchurian acquaintance and friendship, General Corvisart in- vited General Pershing to witness the impending battle on the left bank of the Mouse from his own observatory. As the battle progressed the generals exchanged "reminiscences and asked after other members of the old time mess.
 General Pershing asked what had become of Lieutenant -, the British member of their attache mess, and was apprised that he had died with the rank of colonel early in the pres ent war,
 Then a gleam of new interest sud denly came into General Pershing' s face. But Von Etzel," he asked "Lieutenant Etzel, the German at tache and member of our mess? What do you suppose has ever become of him?"
 "Oh, Von Etzel," replied General Corvisart, with an even greater gleam of pleasure in his face. "Oh, he too is general now. "Then turning sud denly towards the battlefield he added "And if you will look quickly Mon General, you will be just in time to see my victorious .poilus chasing the tail end of General von Etzels army over the crest of Morthomme. Gen eral von Etzel, our former companion of the Manchurian mess, is the Ger man general commanding in front ot me-"
