To Test Civil Service Law
As Applied to the
Chippewa Service.

Last Friday Rev. G. H. Beaul-
leu, James l. Coffey and Gus H.
Beaulieu, the Chippewa delegates
who are still at Washington, went
before the Indian Office there with
Webster Ballinger, attorney at
Washington, and raised the ques-
ton of the jurisdiction of the Civil
Service Commission over employees
in the Chippewa Indian service in
this state. Their contention is
that employees paid from Chippewa
tribal funds do not come within
the classified service; THAI only en-
ployes paid from public funds can
be placed in the classified service.
AS preliminary to, bringing
the question into the United States
Supreme Court in the District of
Columbia with the Secretary of
the Interior and Commissioner of
Indian Affairs as party defendants,
the matter has first been submitted
to Commissioner Sells.
The particular case under which
the action will be brought will be
that Of Eugene M. McCaully, who
is an applicant for the position of
property clerk of the agency here.
Mr.. Ballinger has been retained
as the attorney for the Indians,
and he has been instructed to
prosecute the matter vigorously.

Declines West Point Job;
Indian Now in Ranks
Of the Allies.

Carlisle, Pa, Mar. 11.--An un
usual surprise was in store for a
teacher at the Carlisle Indian
school when she received a New
year post card with this address:
''1O33198 P. p. @. L. l. Army Pc.
O., London, England" The front
cover had on it the words, God
defend the right" with the British
Union Jack in the Middle.
The other side revealed that the
sender was Lieut.. Long Lance, a
graduate Of the school in 1912 and
full blooded Indian, noted for
his clean living, his clean habits
and clean speech, and above all
else for his politeness, but now a
lieutenant in Princess Pats regi'
ment somewhere in Europe"
Lieut.. Long Lance was sending
his New Years greetings, and he
did it in these words:
Kind remembrances and best
wishes for the New Year.
I've lust come out of the trenches,
Where we made the Germans
dance,
And l sending this greeting to let
you know
That he is still alive, Yours truly,
Lieutenant Long Lance.

The Results OF Segre,
gallon.

The reservation system did
much to break the spirit of the
Indians. Regarded as foes, po-
tentially or actually. the Indians
were rounded up by the army and
held al the point of the bayonet on
reserved tracts. Then came the
rations system. The Indian, de-
MED the right to his old hunting
grounds, was fed and clothed.
Those who survived the poor food,
diseased meat and mouldy flour be-
came the reservation Indians of the
west. The Government then took
the administration of Indian affairs
from the War Department. and
gave it into the charge OF the In
terror Department.
Segregation had done more than
bullets to conquer the red man,
aid had cost the Government less.
In the hands of the Indian Bureau
there developed a system of con-
troll over Indians, that while ap-
parently devised to bring about
the regeneration of the red race,
has actually resulted in great harm
to many individuals and even
whole groups.
The Indian by his isolation from
civilization was able to get only
that form of civilization that was
brought in to him. He was the
passive factor; the dominant white
| man the active. This does not
tend to produce a people charac-
terized by energy. The method
has not been successful as yet in
assimilating the Indian and as one
examines the Indian law as it
stands, the reasons are not ulmcult
to find.
In the first place, the Indians
have never been given a defined
status in the country, as they have
! in Canada. In the second place,
they have not been definitely made
to understand what the Govern
ment intends to do, for the Gov.
ernment has had no stable policy
toward them. They have, there
FORE. been forced to become help
less spectators of their own fate.
Next, the claims of the tribes,
believed by them to be just, have

SUBSCRIPTION: $3.50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE
Sells For Federal Reserve
Board.

According to the information OF
the Chippewa delegates that are
still at Washington, Commissioner
Sells may be appointed to a posi-
ton on the Federal Reserve Board;
that there are persistent rumors to
this effect.
AS Commissioner of Indian
Affairs Mr.. Sells has not improved
the Indian service to any great
extent if at all, according to the
statements of Indian delegations
that appeared before the senate
committee on Indian affairs during
the past session of congress. 1t
has always been the contention or
THE ToMAHAwK that a single IN
dividual could not accomplish this
during the term of one admins
tration. Senator Ashurst, in a
recent discussion of Indian affairs
on the floor of the senate, very
APPLY stated the true situation
when he said: ssIf the sss1ator
Will pardon me, as l stated q mo
ment ago, great many of these
petty tyrannies and abuses which
are practiced as the senator has
described, have been brought about
by the workings of what is called
the civil service. 1t promotes ana
brings into the service incompe-
tents, men who could not admins
ker the affairs of the smallest in
stitution, much less take care OF
these 1ncompetents." 49,.
Senator Ashurst spoke what
every Indian throughout the
country knows; that the civil SER
vice has created rings and tyrants
in the Indian service, rings which
a commissioner of Indian affairs
and his assistant have to rely upon
for information TO administer the
affairs of the Indians upon the res
ervations throughout the country.
Furthermore, every Indian knows
that as a rule the information
furnished the Indian Office at
= Washington by the field service is
seldom entirely reliable, but the
Office is compelled by congress
tc assume all the responsibility OF
the mal-administration of superin
Ntendents which has only this in
formation to support 1t.
But regardless of Commissioner
Sells record as Commissioner OF
Indian Affairs, which has not up
to this time been successful, we
believe there is not an Indian in
the country who could say aught
against his integrity; his fault has
been his leniency towards superin
tendents and the employees under
them, and his whole aim seems tc
have been to give them every
chance possible to justify or ex
plain their many questionable acts
In fact. Commissioner Sells has
been too sympathetic and this sym
pathy has caused much trouble
and hardship to the Indians gen
orally.
Mr.. Sells is a good lawyer, and
unquestionabIy honest, and if hi
should be appointed as member
of the Federal Reserve Board
there is no doubt he would make {
most efficient officer.

 Already today. however, I declare shall always be the just, affection ate and conscientious ruler of my dear peoples in the sense Of the con stitutional idea which we have. taken over as heritage from our forefa- thers and in the spirit of that true democracy, which during the storms of world war has wonderfully stood ments of the entire people at home and at the front we are still mighty in the mightiest war of all times
 Thankful to Heroes.
 Let me. from your midst, with thankful heart. offer my imperial greeting to all the heroes who for nearly three years on our far flung fronts have joyfully discharged the heavy duty. and on whose iron resist ance between the Alps and the Adri- atic the renewed desperate enemy at tack even now is breaking 70 pieces.
 Our group of powers did not seek the sansuinary trial of strength of this world war. Aye, more than that, it has, from the moment when, thanks to the imperishable achievements of the allied lrmies and fleets, the honor and existence of our states no longer appeared seriously threatened openly and without ambiguity made known it's readiness for peace, guided by the firm conviction that the true formula of peace can only be found in the mutual recognition that the positions have been gloriously defended.

 "The future life of the peoples should, in cur view, remain free from animosity and thirst for revenge and for generations there should be no need to employ what may be called the last resource of the state Eut this high aim of humanity can only be attainable by such a conclusion to the war as will correspond to that peace formula ''
