NATIONWIDE ECONOMY

10 carry out the program of nation
al economy demanded of the Amer
lean peaple by the war thew must
adopt scientific and systematic meth
ods Of economy. Spasmodic and pc
rIodlc saving will not fulfil the de-
nland upon us.
One method that has been proposed
and has the approval of the treasury
department is for every American to
pledge himself or herself to econo-
mize and save, and with the savings
at definite periods purchase specific
amounts of war savings stamps.
We must give our nation, we must
give our men in arms all the strength
and support possible. To do this we
must cut our own demands on the
labor, material and money Of the
country to the limit, and increase
to the limit the supply of money, ma
terial and labor available to the
government. All Of our energies and
resources should be devoted to the
winning of the war, and to accomp-
lish this we must economic, save
and lend to the government.
A definite systematic plan of saw
ing, strengthened by resolve and
pledge to save and lend to the gov
erpment win be productive Of the best
results. The savings plan campaign
is now on. Every patriotic American
SHOULD make pledge to save and
keep the pledge.

Are the American women of today
doing their bit as efficiently as did
their grandmothers and mothers in
the eos? In regard to the sacrifices
of American women in the civil war
a prominent writer of that period de-
clared: Women there were in this
war who without single relative
in the army, denied themselves for
the whole four years, the comforts to
which they had been accustomed: went
thinly clad, took the extra blanket
from their bed,never tasted tea,sugar
or meat that they might wind another
bandage round some unknown sol
dier's wound or give some parched
| lips in the hospital another sip of
wine.n

PLAY FAIR.

Among the contingent of soldier
boys to go from Becker and NAH
nomen counties, and who entrain-
ed at Detroit Monday morning.
were the following White Earth
Chippewa young men: John q.
Roy, Charles and Louis Jackson,
William Keezer, Joseph Vizenor,
Clement Beauleu, Ignatius .Vize.
nor, Roman Perrault and Edward
Leith.
These young Chippewa boys,
with about two hundred more Of
their kindreds, have enrolled them
selves to fight, and die if need be,
in defense of tie sacred cause of
Humanity, Liberty and World
Democracy Their brethren,
members of the Legislative Com
mittee, General Council, Minneso~
Ia Chippewas, who are now at
Washington, are waging an equal
ly just and valient fight for hike
principles ard speedy emancipation
from oppressive Indian Bureau
dominance ard the pernicious in
fuences of restricted existence,
i'm posed by the ossific, discrim:n-
ating policy of Governmental
wardenship.
Since these young Chippewa
boys have been found worthy and
qualified to take their places in the
ranks of the soldiery of the Re-
public they should, in right and
justice, be accorded all the rights,
immunities and consideration be-
coming the loyal citizen of the
country, the principles of whose
institutions they are called upon
to defend. Let us play fair in this
proposition and avoid the further
continuance of dcbasing scgrega-
ton policy in dealing with the
Indians, especially the Chippewas
of Minnesota.
Congress could do no more COM
mendable act than to pass and
approve II. K. 9253. This bill, if
it becomes a law, will endow all
"self supporting Indians within
the territorial limits of the United
States,'' with the peace and bless
ings guaranteed within the broad
province of the ''unalienable
rights" of American freemen, of
which he, the Indian, is the only
true exponent.

Awfu||y Awful Awfu|ness.

Not very long ago, in the neigh
borhood OF an agency boarding
school not hundred miles away a
conversation, between some of the
EN- ployees, was overheard, and
were it not for the fact that the
name Of The TOMAHAwK was TAX
en- in vain during the egotistic dia-
logue we would not take occasion
to mention the trivial comments
INDUCED in by the cannaille de.
tractors The dialogue was some
thing after this manner:
Miss Wonders-"I wonder if The
Tomahawk is out yet?''
Miss Ethics Why, DO you ex
pect to see your name there! That
ugly old paper, l wonder why its
published; it doesn't amount to
anything; nobody reads it and the
things it publishes are simply
awful"
Miss Antique-'' For the land
sakes! I've been here for over tif~
teen years and that old paper has
been kicking and fighting the Gov
eminent agency and school system
continually, but the school is here
yet and 50 am 1, a-hem."
P"of! Well, now, it makes US
latf, really such lamentable betrayal
of ridiculous sophistry as is mani
tested in Miss Ethics allusion is,
indeed comical. '"That ugly old

In the turning down of one.
Adams, candidate for the chair
manship of the Republican National
Committee, the committee acted
loyalty and wisely. This man
Adams at time when resident in
Germany (1914) had the nerve to
ask that the statements Of the
German White Book be taken in
this country as evidence that Ger
many did not start the European
war. and to this he added fulsome
praise of the kaiser and every
junker German in that morally
rotten country. He is a weaker
man morally than the first Adam
who fell for SNAKE talk. This lat
ter day Adam didn't even get bite
of an apple for his lie, but justice
was in a measure served when the
flaming sword of Republican
loyalty turned against him and
drove him out of coveted leader
ship Ia the political Garden of
Eden.

We are painfully aware that

which-is as positively sterile in

Hence our kicking proclivity.
During the past fifteen years the
people of the reservation generally
have progressed beyond our most
sanguine expectations, and we are
pleased that the strenuous princi-

advocated in the columns of THE

flavor of originality. One of the early
Judges of Madison. Dawson Hlackmore.
WAS called upon shortly after his cleo
ton to perform Il marriage ceremony
at u private residence. The notice was
brie: and the Judge prepared for the
event by studying the marriage ccre-
mony in the Methodist book of dsci-
r.inc. Fearing to trust to his memory.
he placed the book in his pocket to re-
fer to if necessary. When the bridal
party appeared before him he had for.
gotten every word of the ceremony,
and feeling in his coat pocket for tho
book il was gone. A local wng had
removed it. But the Judge vas equal
to the occasion. Assumlngan unusual
degree of judicial dignity he sud:
