The Poor Sufferer

I pity them. many Of whom are suffering
with pains night and day without any
relief, and have done so for years.
They have doctored and taken any
amount Of medicine, but it has simply
been adding fuel to the fire, or poison
to the poison, which is already in the
system, and as a prominent doctor says,
''all of our active medicines are poi
sons, and / can not see why sick per-
son should be poisoned any more than a
well persons" Every dose of poison a
person takes will reduce his vitality. At
the Nelson Sanitarium we use no medi-
cine, no poison and no operation, and
we cure 95 per cent Of our patients.
We have cured hundreds OF cases of
acute appendicitis in from two to six
days and never lost a case. Had cases
of rheumatism in week; lumbago in
half an hour; neuralgia in ten min
utes; Bright's disease in a month;
paralysis in thirty days; tonsilitis in
half an hour; eczema in a week; and
many other diseases in remarkably
short time. DR.. Nelson was a register
ed druggist in Minnesota for S6 years,
but has practiced the drugless method
for more than 20 years: he is a gradu-
ate chiropractor from two Of the lead
ing schools OF the country. He is a
graduate doctor Of Sugesta- Therapy,
He has graduated in nursing and diet
ing from the Battle Creek Sanitarium.
He has taken courses in Swedish move
ments and massage. electro therapy,
hydro therapy. naturopathic methods,
and magnetic treatment and has splen-
did success in his treatment. We treat
ali kinds of diseases except contagious
diseases and we cure where others fail.

get a hearing before the Indian
committees of Congress and there
fore its failure to receive favorable
consideration by the session which
has just expired, will necessitate
the introduction of a new bill.
Senator Lane also introduced a
bill in the senate to pay TO Dan
Morrison and his family their dis
trlbutive shares of the tribal
funds, or at least those to which
they would be entitled if the fund
should be distributed. The passage
of this bill would complicate mat
tiers If uniform bill should not
be passed, 50 that the delegation
at Washington will oppose the
Morrison bill in favor of the gen.
eral bill introduced by Senator
Clapp.

Issue Might be Raised.

The delegates now at Washing
ton from this reservation are think
ing very seriously of raising the
question of the right of the Indian
Office to pay out tribal funds as
salaries to employees in the Chip
pewa Indian service, through court
proceedings. The intention is to
bring injunction proceedings
against the secretary of the Interior
and Commissioner of Indian
Affairs.
The delegation has no objection
to the use of tribal funds if mem
bers of the Chippewa tribe are en-
ployed to fill the positions in the
Chippewa Indian service, but they
do most strenously object to the
positions being filled by imported
employees when there is so much
talent among the members Of the
tribe who could fill the positions.
For every dollar that is paid to
an employe, each member Of this
reservation contributes certain
amount of his interest in the tribal
fund. But when the actions of
the employees is taken into consider
alton, any one would think they
are the masters of the Indians here
instead of the servants of the latter.
The objections to employing
members of the tribe on the
grounds that they have not passed
civil service examinations is not
we'll taken either, and this question
may also be raised in the court
proceedings that are now under
consideration, for not a single
employe who receives his salaray
from Chippewa tribal funds is in
the employ of the government,
but he is really in the employ of
the Chippewas of Minnesota, but
under government supervision.
1t is not believed that the court
would take such a a broad view
as to rule that employees paid by
Chippewa funds come within the
civil service law.

in the Mile Lac fee on the grounds
that he had obtained the passage
of the jurisdictional act il the
suit. Butler argued in Mr.. Rich
ardson's behalf claiming that the
jurisdictional act had been obtained
through Mr.. Richardson's efforts
alone.
Incidently he suggested that his
firm was entitled to compensation
also from the Mile Lac Indians,
but the Court of Claims would not
consider his claim at all. Subse-
quently, he commenced suit against
the publisher and claimed his firm
had been responsible for the pas
sage of the jurisdicrional act not
withstanding that he had argued
only few days previously that
Mr.. Richardson was entitled to all
the credit.
Senator Clapp and ex-Represen-
tative Bede, who were responsible
for the passage of the jurisdiction
al act, stated that neither Richard
son nor Butler had anything to do
with the passage of the act; that it
was passed upon the representa-
tions of the publisher.
The Mile Lac contract was
eventually given to George B.
Edgerton after the publishers
contract with the Mile Lac band
had expired, and this was the con-
tract under which the fee was paid
to the attorneys.
Doctor Chas. Eastman, the
famous Sioux lecturer, author and
speaker, is having some trouble
now with Marion Butler, who in
sists upon having an interest with
the former in a Sioux claim as
attorney. DR.. Eastma states that
John Eastman had some arrange
;ment with Mr.. Butler and WAS
defrauded out of his share of a
large fee, and that be does not
intend to have similar experience.

doles, waste their time in fighting
for, claims, (many just and many
visionary, remain passive and
lacking in initiative and ignorant
and ill-prepared for u struggle in
civilization.
Cannot the Congress awaken to
the tact that it is expanding mil
lions to remedy conditions and ills
that it has itself imposed Or ag-
gravated!
AS long as Indians are segre-
gated, because of law, the evils of
segregation will result.
As long as the present system of
conducting the Indian Bureau con-
tinues there will be a vast wastage.
Congress must make the admins
tration of Indian affairs more
efficient by constituting it upon a
different basis or it must abolish
the Bureau altogether and place
the administration of Indian affairs
in the hands Of non-political
commission empowered to bring
about a speedy assimilation of the
Indians.
The remedies we seek are legis-
Iative and lie in the hands of
Congress.
We direct the attention of every
member of Congress TO the Mem
orial of this Society presented to
the President of the United States
on December 10, 1914, which
reads in part:
"As a race, the Indian under
the Jurisdiction Of the United
States has no standing in court or
nation. No man can tell what its
status is, either civil or legal.
Confusion and chaos are the only
words descriptive of the situation.
This condition is a barrier to the
progress Of our people, who aspire

Beware of Butler (
Vale, Washington
Attorneys.

The experience of the publisher
of THE ToMAHAwK with Butler
& Vale. attorneys at Washing
ton, D. c., leads him to warn the
Indians of the country to have no
dealings with them.
Marion Butler is the head of the
firm of Butler & Vale, and he is
an ex-United States senator with
bad reputation among Indians who
have been to Washington to prose-
cute their claims. This reputa-
ton is bad not only among Indians
but also among members of con-
gress according to their statements
made to Indians, who have COM
planned TO them bout the 6rm of
Butler & Vale.
In the case which the publisher
has just had decided in his favor
by the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia, Butler & Vale
sued nm for nine thousand dollars
claiming that this amount was due
them as partners of the publisher
in the Mile Lac case.
For the information OF Indians
generally, the facts in the case
were these: The publisher had a
contrac: with the Mile Lac Chip
pewas to prosecute their claim
against the United States, and this
he transferred to Henderson &
Murchison. r. &. Adams, the
Delaware Indian, was associated
with Henderson &, Murchison in
the prosecution of Indian claims
and Immediately following the ex-
piration of MFR. Buffers term in
the United States senate, which he
held only one term, the publisher
was induced to agree to pay But
Ter & Vale a certain interest in the
Mile Lac fee if they would per-
form certain services. The latter
never took any steps towards push
ing Mile Lac matters until through
the efforts of the publisher a juris-
dlctional act had been passed by
the senate referring the Mile Lac
claim to the Court of Claims, and
then a certain prominent North
Dakota politician called upon the
publisher and stated the bill would
never be passed by the house of
representatives unless Butler &
Vale were let into the deal. But
the publisher declined in the most
positive manner to do so, and
stated he would appear before the
senate and house committees on
Indian affairs and make state
ment to them setting forth the
manner in which Butler wished to
coerce him. On the following
morning Mr.. Butler called the
publisher over the telephone and
stated he would have nothing to
90 with the Mile Lac case. Moth
ing more was done by Bntler &
Vale in the case until a judgment
had been obtained in behalf of the
Mile Lac Chippewas, and then
they appeared for G. E. Richard
son, WAC also claimed an interest

ness and professional life among
both Indians and whites have
pointed out several obstacles that
prevent the complete assimilation
Of the Indians; and result is direct
injury to the Indians and expense
to the nation. Some of these ob'
stacles are here named:
1. Lack of a defined status with
series of grades leading to citi-
senship and uniform in all states
in which Indians are under federal
supervision.
2. Lack of a uniform code of
law, fully meeting the situation.
3. Failure to individualize trust
funds, so that each Indian may
know his pro rata share on the
books of the nation.
4. Failure to admit Indian claims
directly to the United States Court
of Claims without the specific con-
sent of Congress in each instance.
5. Failure to give Indians an
adequate understanding of the
governments purposes and con
templated actions respecting them.
The Indians have been placed in
the attitude of passive spectators.
6. Lack of an adequate form Of
education, fitting the adult for the
struggle of life in his changing
environment and preparing the
youth for the more intense strug-
gle in citizen communities. Nearly
one half the Indians today are still
illiterate.
We appeal to the Congress to
bring about a change in the con-
ditions we have enumerated, for
they all reflect vitality in deter
mining the progress and assimia-
ton of the Indian. With the con-
tinuation of the obstacles the In
dams will remain confused in
mind, remain broken ir spirit, be-
come pauperizcd by annuities and

A Message to Congress-

| (FrOm the American Ind. MagaZine.)
THE SOCIETY OF AMERICAN
INDIANS
. Office of the President
r." University OF the State of
New York, Albany, N. Y.
- December 1, 1916.
TO the Congress of the United
States:
The administration of the affairs
Of 100000 Indians in the United
States is costing the Government
about ten millions of dollars each
year. Added to this from Indian
sources and others is another ten
Million
The aim of the government is to
do full justice to the American H.
dian and to bring him into efficient
citizenship.
Before there can be such an
achievement for the Indian, tribes
must be dissolved as social, COM
mercial and political entities. The
Indians must come into the nation
as individual units.
Vast sums are now expended to
conserve Indian property, to de-
fray the expense Of governmental
guardianship and trusteeship and
to educate the Indian for efficient
citizenship. But while the nation
is ostensibly protecting and educa-
ting the Indians we ought to ask
whether the machinery it employs
is fully efficient, and if all obsta-
cles to final success have been re-
moved? If not, the money is pro-
portionalIy wasted and both the
nation and the Indian vitality
wronged. We believe that there
isi 10Th waste and wrong.
