Josephine and Ora Robitaille,
daughters OF Mrs. Robitaille who
is employed in the Agency office
here, who have been attending
a young ladies' seminary at Alex
andria, Va, an environ of Wash
ington, D. c., arrived last Satur-
day night to spend their vacation
with their mother. They will re-
main about month.
A quiet wedding took place last
Monday morning when Miss An
geline Bellecourt and Mr.. Cecil
Richardson were united in the
holy bonds of matrimony at St..
Beredict's Catholic church here at
6 o'clock A. NJ. Both young
people are members of this reser-
! Walton and are we'll and favorably
known here. The bride is the
daughter of Mr.. and Ms. Frank
Bellecourt :.of this village. Mr..
Richardson has been living here
for the past three years and is in
partnership with E. G. Lerche in
conducting a billiard parlor and
bowling alley. The ToMAHAwK
extends congratulations and joins
with their many friends in wishing
the young couple long and happy
welded life.

opportunity of learning the views
of those whom he wished to ap.
point instead of receiving from
his predecessor men who very
often are not in sympathy with
him even politically.
There are many provisions in
the proposed revision of the laws
which will be published in subse-
quent issues of The ToMAHAwK
for the purpose of inviting discus
sion among members of Indian
tribes throughout the country.
Members of Indian reservations
should also address Hon. Charles
Carter, chairman of the committee
on Indian affairs of the House of
Representatives and submit their
views to him relative to the pro-
posed revision.

Congress Proposes To
Revise indian Laws.
COMMITTEE IN CHARGE OF WORK HAS
REPORTED.

Under a resolution passed by
lCongress the committee on the re-
vision of United States laws rela-
ting to Indians was created and it
has just made its report, and many
important changes in the laws are
proposed among which are those
relating to the Boar of Indian
Commissioners. But there is only
one change made with regard to
the board and this is to allow it to
employ secretary instead of using
one of the members of the board
as has heretofore been the practice.
The board has not done any
work for the benefit of the Indians
but has confined itself principally
to opposing Catholic Indian schools.
Father Ketchum, who is mem Der
of the board, has more than once
been Inundated by the attacks of
his colleagues upon tue Indian
schools of his church. Indians
who know what the value of Cath.
Ole Indian schools have been
among Indians have listened with
Indignation to these attacks.
The members of the board are
all supposed to be broad-minded,
but as an indication that mistakes
will be slipped in upon the govern
ment, Prof. Moorhead, who is
we'll known here for the irrepar
able michief he caused, and who
admitted to we'll known and
prominent man now living upon
this reservation what be was
tempted to do, is one of the mem.
bers Of the board.
The intention of the government
when it created the Board of In
dian Commissioners was good, but
there are many strong arguments
why the members of The board
should be changed every four
years, or every time a new presi-
dent of the United States is elect
ed. Only in this way could a board
be obtained which would be- in
sympathy with the new policies Of
a new president, or at least new
ly elected president would have an

Midland Golf Club
Secures Fine Course

Since its formation nearly ten years
ago the Midland Golf Club has had the
unusual distinction of being the only
club in the United States and Metro
politan Golf associations which did not
have its own links. Last year the club
did not even have course on which
its members could play.
But now. while still without its own
course, the Midland can boast OF
finer clubhouse and a better eighteen
hole links than are possessed by some
OF the better known and weather
clubs.
By arrangement with the Salisbury
Plains Corporation, owners Of the pub
lie Salisbury links at Meadowbrook,
L. l., the Midland is comfortably in
stalled there. Specially fitted club
rooms and a 6,300-yard course Of un-
usual interest give the club everything
it desires. Club members share the
links with the public, but the course
is SO long that there never IS any con-
gestion.
