Senator Lane, Dies From
CIot ON Brain.

San Francisco, May 24.-United
States Senator Harry Lane Of
Oregon died at hospital here last
night from a nervous disorder
produced by a blood clot on the
brain Minneapolis Tribune.
In the death of Senator Lane
the indians throughout the country
have lost one of their best friends
in congress. He was consistently
and continually a firm advocate of
tie rights of Indians. Although
he had not been in the United
Senate but few years he was
known to almost every tribe in the
country as a staunch friend Of the
Indians.
The Chippewas of Minnesota
owe much to Senator Lane, AM if
he had not been misled by tele
gram which was sent from Red
Lake the Red Lake Chippewas
would not have lost their reserva
ton. --....-
When the bill, which was event
ually passed by congress that con-
fiscated the Red Lake Reservation
from the Red Lake Chippewas,
was before the senate, Senator
Line raised a point of order
against it. and would not recede
until he received telegram from
Red Lake which purported to have
been signed by Red Lake Indians
as representing the wish of the
Indians there, and it was only
then that he withdrew bis point of
order and allowed the bill to be
passed. Had.Senator Lanes un-
timely death not occurred he no
doubt would have been one Of the
most active in an effort to get
jurisdiction bill passed to refer the
claim Of the Red Lake Indians to
the Court Of Claims for the loss Of
their reservation.
Senator Lane was by profession
physician and IN addition to be-
ing by nature of a kindly and sym
pathetic disposition his training
made this qualify more pronounc
ed. 1t will be many years before
his memory will be entirely for
gotten by the American Indians.

''United We Stand, Di'
vided We Fall. "

An effort is being made by 4
few members of this reservation
to compel the Indian office to
fulfill United States laws by CIV
ing members of this aud other
Chippewa reservations employ
ment where the salaries are paid
from their tribal funds. These
persons, or at least those who are
paying the expenses of the litiga-
ton which seeks to compel the
Commissioned of Indians Affairs
to observe the law, are not seekers
of positions in the Chippewa In
dian service, and, therefore, have
no personal motive except that Of
pride in the welfare of the reser-
walton. But, it is apparent, that
some persons who are seekers
after positions are playing double
with the tribe and the powers that
be; they are looking after their
interests exclusively, and do not
seem to care whether the principle
involved is victorious or not. SO
long as they can secure positions
for themselves they do not care
for others. .
The only way that any one not
a political favorite with present
superiutendents upon Indian res,
ervations can in the end secure
what the law provides is for the
reservation people to make unit.
ed fight against the present policy
Of the Indian Office which is in
violation of existing laws, and not
try and curry favor with superin
tendents; be men aud not sneaks.

Make The Celebration 4
Success.

Many of the members Of this
reservation we're displeased be-
cause Supt. Hinton interfered with
the council that was called to elect
officers for the celebration instead
of allowing the chairman of the
local council to designate the date.
The officers of the celebration who
we're selected at the Hinton coun-
Gil are regarded as his supporters
to some extent, and for this reason
many do not seem to take any 10
terest in the proposed celebration.
Regardless of the actions of
Supt. Hinton ia his interference
with the local councils call, in this
instance it is not of sufficient i'm
portance to cause the cele bratlon
to become failure, but every
member of the reservation should
put bis shoulder to the wheel"
and push good thing along.
The Indians upon every reser-
walton in the country should be
invited to attend the celebration,
and especially those in this state,
for it is strictly an Indian celebrA-
ton, and the appropriation By
congress was made for their bene
fit.

A New Issue.

The present congress has created
new issue, one which will cut q
big figure in next years political
cam paign, and this is the war ques-
ton. -.
notwithstanding the efforts of a
large majority Of the daily papers
of the big cities of this country to
create sentiment in favor of war,
and likewise the efforts Of the fed
eral administration, public opinion
has remained obdurate and refuses
to be changed, is against war with
any country, and particularly
against sending United States
troops abr DAD to assist the allies.
The political campaign next year
will probably not be so much be-
tween the democrats and republl-
cans to secure control of congress
for their respective parties, bnt 1t
will be to test whether public SEN
timent is in favor of war or against
it, and whether congress at the
present session expressed the will
of the people or.not by declaring
war.
No good reason has yet been
given why the United States should
assist the allies and thus sacrifice
thousands of lives Of the flower of
American manhood, young men
who never in the history of the
world could be spared less than at
the present time.
The new political issue will be
clear cut next year, and it is pre-
dicted that it will be overwhel-
mingly opposed to war, and that
the public will elect men who will
make efforts to stop the war before
lit has proceeded too far.

WILSON STILL ASKS
CENSORSHIP.

Washington, D. O., May 3D.
Decision of House Republicans in
caucus yesterday to oppose any
newspaper censorship provision in
the pending espionage bill was
followed by letter from President
Wilson to Chairman Webb of the
Judiciary committee reiterating
that it was imperative that Con
gress grant censorship powers t.
deal with the few persons Wh'I
cannot be relied upon to observe
"a patriotic reticence about every
thing publication of which could
be of injury" a
IL have been very much sur
prised." wrote the President, to
lind several of the public prints
stating that the Administration
had abandoned the position which
it 80 Dist .1c>ly took and still holds,
that authority to exercise censor
ship over the press to the extent
that. that censorship is embodied II
the recent act of the House 81
REPRESENTATIVES is absolutely neces
sary to the public safety. 1t, OF
course, has not been abandoned
because the reasons still exist why
such authority is necessary for the
protection of the nation.
II have every confidence that
the great majority of the news
papers will observe patriotic
reticence about everything whose
publication could be of injury, but
in every country there are some
persons in a position to do mischief
in this field and whose interests OF
desires will lead to actions on thel1
part highly dangerous to the ma
ton in the midst of a war. l wan'
to say again that it seems to me
imperative that powers CT tn:
sort should be granted.''
The House espionage bill carried
censorship provision, but the one
by the Senate did not, and this
was one of the differences which
sent the measure to conference

Challenge Of the Society
Of American Indians to

While the Indian blood does not
predominant in me, yet the Indian
life does, and becomes the basis for
these brief remarks.
So far as the American Indian
is concerned, the word tribe" is
being supplanted by the word
race The Indians failures are
due to tribal divisions, which lave
prevented concerted action, and
ignorance, which has let jealousies
and passion displace statesman
ship.
Not until the Society Of Ameri-
can Indians came into existence
has opportunity been given for
effective united race action, and in
this Society we find place for the
educated, as we'll as the ureducat.
ed Indians, to blend their opinions
and produce a race program to
challenge the attention of the
nation.
It has been my privilege to at
tend all but one of the annual con-
ferences of this Society of Ameri-
can Indians, and to personally wit
ness its growth along conservative
and fundamental lines. The So
ciety, With It's active membership
confined to those of Indian blood
only, stands to-day, by all odds, as
the best expression of the race. 1t
challenges the attention Of every
Sincere friend of the race, and. its
