Man Who Started Rump Meet

Here Last Year Repeats
Trick at Cass Lake
eovERnMEoT WILL DECIDE MATTER,

Minnesota Chippewas who are
holding their annual council at
Cass Lake this week, have had q
series of exciting experiences, and
the effort which was made by the
government to unite the. two fac
tions which have been pulling in
opposite directions during the past
year, failed.
The meeting began at Cass Lake,
Tuesday, with Walter F. Dickens,
superintendent of the White Earth
Indian agency, presiding. 1t had
been intended that the delegates
that had been elected from the vari-
Gus reservations should select their
officers, regardless of what faction
to which they might belong, and
that the matter might be settled
by the ballot. Everything went
smoothly until time came for seat.

and the faction known as the full
bloods," or the Indians who are
| not part white, ''bolted" the meet
ing and started a rump convention
in another hall, headed by James l.
Coffey, of the Fond du Lac reser-
| vation. Coffey was the head of
a rump convention which took
| place IN Bemidji last year when the
Chippewas held their annual meet
ing here, and it was at that time
that the disagreement arose between
the full and mixed blood 1nJians,
and the two factions we're formed.
Since the meeting last year, the
two factions have constantly dis
agreed and government officials, in
All effort to adjust the matter, sug'

dians to select their own attorney
without the approval of the In
dian Bureau and Secretary of the
Interior, when they are interested
parties, that looks very shady,
and the fact is, it is wrong.
The Indian Service regulations
says this and that on the above
lsnatters, but is IT LAW that
..coineides with the courts of the
united States? If it does, then it
is law and should be complied with
without any question. But if the
Indian Service regulations do not,
Shen it is not law. The fact that
Indians are wards of the United
States Government may have
some weight, but it does not fol-
low that the Indians can be ruled
without law. 1t appears that in
order to do what is right We must
keep within the law. The In-
dams want to be governed by law
and not by arbitrary regulations.
1t seems they are right IN the
matter.
! We Indians are men, and some
of US have seen four score years
and ten. We are in position to
take care of ourselves and live
under the laws that other races
are governed. In the schools we
are taught that the United States
is democratic, where the people
have a voice in their affairs. This
dealing with the Indians by reg
ulations is mockery to the demo.
cratic principle of our government.
We must keep in mind that an
Indian is a human being and
should be treated as any other
human being. Who would toler-
ate their property to be disposed
'of, his money spent, without his

mocracy and the exclusion of the
demoralizing influences of restrict.
ed practices in the affairs of the
Minnesota Chippewas, let US hope,
forever. Be this as it may, recent
events point strongly to turning
point in this direction. Recently
orders have been issued from the
Indian Office abolishing positions
connected with the White Earth
boarding aud Beaulieu day schools
and, as published in last weeks
issue, the school plant OF the
boarding school will be converted
for the future use and purposes
of public school district No. 112.
Other instances of equally liberal
tone have manifested themselves
within the past month or two in
dicating a much less aggressive
attitude against things progress
sive, on the part of the Indian
Bureau, and which would tend
decidedly towards a favorable
conclusion of the Assistant Com.
missioner's message, The wars
over"
In conclusion The ToMAHAwK is
pleased to say that its efforts, con-
cerning the right of self-deter-
mination of the Chippewas in the
past, have been guided from mo.
tives which it deemed right, just,
and on the conservative lines of a
broad, liberal Democracy. And
in the uninterrupted pursuit of
this policy, the final establishment
thereof for the Chippewas of
Minnesota and other Indians in
general, will it finally accept the
Commissioners verdict of the

THE WAR IS over.

Attorney Webster 'Ballinger,
Washington, D. c., representing
the General Council, Minnesota
Chippewas, on the eve of his de-
parture to attend the recent ses-
sion of the General Council, con
vened at Cass Lake, and this at
the special request of the Com
missioner of Indian Affairs, called
q. the Indian Office and in a short
i .terview with Assistant Com
missioner E. B. MERIT, asked that
gentleman if he had any word
which he desired Mr.. Ballinger to
convey to ''the boys" the men,
bers of the General Council pre-
sided over by John G. Morrison,
Jr., as its president, Mr.. Merritt
thought for a moment and then
turning to Mr.. Ballinger, pleas
ant smile lighting bis features, he
answered.: tell the boys the war
is over.''
There attaches q dual signih
cance to this very momentous
message, coming as 1T does from
the active head Of the Indian
Office. Summed up it means
the end of the brazen opposi-
ton and activities of the James
l. Coffey cabal, which were
permitted to exercise their con-
temptible vocations as so-ca'Ied
"delegates", and this without
proper credential, leave or license
from 80 per cent of the Minnesota
Chlppewas.

pressing opposition against the
progressive interests of the Mime
sofa Chippewas in general. eman'

could be enumerated but, for the
present, we will permit the cur

The full bloods have made but
little progress. at their meeting.
James I. Coffey is presiding, but
business, methods appear to be
lacking. The mixed bloods, after
the full bloods had bolted immedi-
ately began their business session.
j. G. Morrison, who had been. head
of the general council of the Chip
pewas Indians of Minnesota since
its organization in 1913, was re-
elected president, and Paul Beau
lieu was re elected secretary. Both
are Red Lake men.
There are about $50 Indians at.
tending the meetings at Cass Lake.
OF this number there should be 12O
delegates, and it is said that pratt
cally all of the delegates regularly
elected are in attendance at the
Morrison meeting. The total num-
Der of Indians attending the Nor
rison meeting is about $50, and the
other 200 are attending the Coffey
meeting. +:
The allegation made by the full
bloods when they bolted the meet
ing, was that the White Earth
delegation, which was being seat
ed at that time, ha:; not been elect
ed according to the rules of the
council, and the allegation was also
made that when the. election of
delegates took place at White
Earth, several weeks ago, voters
were shipped in from Wisconsin
by the mixed bloods Indians, in
order that they might control over
the Minnesota council.
When the storm clouds gathered
at the Cass Lake meeting, the au-
thorities expected trouble, and
seven deputy sheriffs we're !sxoru
in, ready for any emergency should
war be declared by the two factions,
