INVESTIGATOR ENDORSES
NEAR EAST RELIEF

During the Peace Conference In Par
Is the American Commission to Nego-
,tiate Peace, approaching the impor-
lance Of accurate, first hand informa-
ton about the Armenian situation, sent
Capt. Benjamin Burgess Moore. Of the
American Red Cross as head Of a spe-
cial mission to study and report on
conditions. Captain Moore's findings
as to the value Of the work done by the
Near East Relief form part Of his Off,
cial report.
"Armenians are sincerely grateful to
u.s." Captain Moore states, 'since it IN
no exaggeration to say that they would
have disappeared as a nation had it
not been for this splendid help given
them by the Near East Relief and :he
American Food Administration. Tho
best that sympathetic Americans can
do is to continue and enlarge the pres
ent admirable work Of tho Near East
Relief"

10f their "Republic". I've nc
doubt though that before they did
there were a lot of hot-headed
1rishmen who spoke up and said,
Me, me, l want to be the leader,
the President of the Irish Repub
Jig. l am lawyer; I'm a politi
clan; I'm professor, or Pm a
thoroughbred Irishman.' And
suppose there was a great deal of
difficulty in convincing these
1rishmen that it would be impos
sih'e to have four Presidents, but
only one who was all of the four
in-one."
/ Now, my dear friends, ism t
there good Indian some where in
this great country who can lead
his people to victory? OF course
there is, only you must not take
such a long time to convince your
self of this fact. From the North
where he has made one of the hest
records an Indian ever made,
comes strong young fellow whose
heac is high and whose heart is
right. Fate has kept him from
going to Congress and later from
becoming the Secretary of his
State, perhaps she was saving him
to make him the leader of his
people, the next Commissioner of
Inc ian Affairs. But this young
man will no doubt have hard
time, as there is a great deal of
fiction to live down. AS I was
told in the Office of the Chairman
of the House Committee on Indian
Affairs, indians are mean. They
are jealous of one another; they
don't like one another, and if this
Indian man we're appointed CON-
missioner and he did something
that another tribe other than his
own did not like, the other tribe
would lay 1t to the fact that it was
because he was Of the tribe he

was" Indeed great deal of
fiction to live down, for is the
argument any more reasonable
that to say of a white man Com
missioner when he displeases US
that it is because he is white man
and doesn't care anything about
the Indians or understand what is
best for them? Is it?

man who told me he was tie
Chairman's secretary, and who is
quoted above, THAT the peace pipe
has been smoked, and the toma-
hawk buried? Do you know that
an Usage is glad to shake hands
with a Chippewa, or a Grow to
shake hands with blackfeet?
We'll, they are, and all this talk
about it being position that
could not and should not be filled
by an Indian is all nonsense. On
the contrary it is a position that
should be filled by an Indian in
preference to a white man.
We could have an Indian Com
missioner; we should have an In
dian Commissioner; we will have
and Indian Commissioner if we all
get together ard pull hard for
him.
He will be our first Indian Com
missioner, and maybe our last
Commissioner, Indian or other
wise, and what a wonderful thing
it would be for our citizenship aud
freedom to come through our own
blood.
But we must be cautious and
careful and choose the right man;
we must stop this dillydallying if
we would have any voice ut all in
the naming of our next Commits.

education and other purposes. .
The Chippewa people have at all
times objected to the use of their
money for administrative pur-
poses''. The Department now
proposes to withhold $1,000, 900
of the principal fund to. pay
agency employees in Minnesota
for years to come. If this is per-
mittea then practically all the
money that may be recovered in
the future from the United States,
or from the sale of the remaining
property can be used by the De-
partment for, administrative and
other expenses and it is doubtful
whether the Chippewa Indians
would ever receive another nickle
from the estate. The General
Council will rot sanction this
scheme. The Council is in favor
of a payment to he~Indians of the
principal fund, but they will not
consent to a large part of the fund
and all the money that may be
received in the future being with
held for the use of the Department.
The department did not, when it pre-
pared the bill authorizing the per
capita payment of IS, 100000, ex-
pect that it would be enacted into
law, but offered this provision as
bait to the Ind ans, knowing that
the General Council and the Chip
pewa Indians when they UNDER
stood it would oppose the pro-
vision on account of the reserva
tions to the Department. Even il
the Council should surrender the
rights Of the Chippewa people
there is no probability that Con-
gress would enact the provision
into law as drawn by the Depart
ment, as it would Immediately lay
the Government liable for millions
of dollars in claims.

CHIPPEWA AFFAIRS At

Washington, D. G.
Jan. Is, 1920.

ODeclal 10 1HE 1OMAHA"N'(
Mr.. John G.. Morrison, Presl-
dent of the Chippewa General
Council, and Messrs B. L. Fair
banks, Edward l.. Rogers and
Paul H. Beaulieu, members of the
Legislative Committee of the Gen.
eral Council, arrived in Washing
ton last Saturday. The Committee
Immediately went into session and
considered the work done by Mr..
E. j. Warren, member of the
Legislative Committee who has
been in Washington, and Webster
Ballinger, attorney for the Council.
The items Of appropriations for
the next fiscal year were consider
ed with care, likewise the Steener-
son Drainage Bill and the bill for
the winding up of the affairs of
the Chippewa people. AS re-
suit of the meeting of the Commit
tee the following items we're ap-
proved by the committee relative
to appropriations for the Chip
pewas during the next fiscal year:
$4,000 for the support of old
and INDECENT members of the tribe.
Last year the department. used a
little over $4,000 for this purpose.
Complaint had been made that
there was suffering among the old
members of the tribe, and the
committee decided to increase the
amount this year to $4,000, or so
much thereof as maybe necessary.
$4,000 is appropr1ated for
the hospitals at White Earth, Red
Lake, and Fond du Lac. This is
twice the amount used last year by
the department., but as the Secre-
tary is authorized to use only so
much Of the $4,000 as may be
necessary, the committee deemed
it best to increase the amount to
$4,000 particularly as many com
plants had, been received about
the closing of the hospitals at
Fond du Lac and White Earth. .
$4,000 is appropriated for toe
establishment, construction and
equipment Of additional public
school houses to be operated under
the control Of the. State Public
School System. This is a new ap'
preparation and is intended to pro:
vide public schools at the homes of
many Indian children now in the
Government Boarding. schools.
When these schools are equipped
they will be maintained by the
State at no expense to the tribe:
The $4,000 represents less than
one years expense of maintaining
70 children in boarding schools,
and will provide public school
facilities for probably 900 or $50
Indian children, resulting in a
saving Of hundreds of thousands of
dollars in future years to the tribe.
The regular appropriation Of
$4,000 for the council was agreed
upon. -.
$4,000 for the construction
ofroads on the Red Lake Reser-
walton.

Be Cautious, Be Careful
(By Leta V. Meyers.)

The Indian race today, as all
through the past, is without a
leader and in about the same straits
as a herd of buffalo ready to
plunge over a precipice and dash
themselves to destruction, because
they have no leader to guide them.
This is sad too because the Indian
race was once a powerful nation
and we would hate t8 lose the last
Of them in this tragic manner.
Perhaps our leader hasn't been
born yet; perhaps he is already
here but is just waiting a proper
stage of development, or a certain
recognition on the part of bis
people.
We cannot succeed and do any,
thing worth while unless we or
ganize and select strong and
respected leader, and a leader of
our own kind. For who ever
heard of a wolf or bear being
the leader of herd of buffaIoY
Did the Irish people go to Burma
to find a leader? No, they looked
around at home and found mar,
of their: own blood, a good man,
and elected him to the Presidency

$4,000 to be paid from the
proceeds of Indian labor, Red
Lake Agency.
81, 400, to be paid from the
proceeds of Indian labor, White
Earth Agency.
These items were submitted to
the Indian Bureau, with the re
quest that any appropriation made
for the agencies, that is for the
pay and expenses of agency en-
ployees, should be made out of
the Public Treasury and not out
of the trust funds of the tribe.
The Indian Bureau insisted upon
an appropriation of $4,000 for
agency expenses and insisted that
this should be paid out of the
trust funds. The delegation ob
jected to this, but stated that it
was helpless to prevent the ap
preparation from the trust funds if
the Department and Congress in
sisted upon it but that if the ap-
preparation was made from the
trust funds the tribe expected to
recover the amount back from the
Government with interest when
ever the claims of the tribe against
the Government were referred to
the Court of Claiuls. Accordingly
the Department andthe Commit
tee included an item of $45,000 to
cover all agency expenses at the
Leech Lake, White Earth and Red
Lake Agencies out of the trust
funds. All the other items insist
ed upon by the council; we're ap-
proved by the Department and
appear in the Indian Bill.
The Committee inadvertently
overlooked the item of 1000 for
the White Earth celebration. This
has been called to the attention of
the Committee and the delegation
is assured that the item will be
inserted i'm the bill when it comes
up for consideration on the floor
of the House.
The appropriation of 1900 made
out Of the Public Treasury under
the Treaty of 1867, will be used to
aid the public school at White
Earth and other pnblic schools in
the Chippewa country.
This year for the first time in
all the history of appropriations
for the Chippewas the appropria-
tions are separated and limited to-
express uses. For instance, not a
dollar of the, money appropriated
for the hospitals, the support of
the old and INDECENT Indians can
be used for agency expenses. The
same applies to every item in the
BILL .,<
The Committee decided with
reference to the Red Lake Drain
age Bill INTRODUCED by Congress-
man STEVENSON to insist upon
amendments th9t will protect the
Red Lake Indians as we'll as the
owners of property to be drained.
Tie bill as introduced protects
neither the Indians nor the SET
tiers. Senator Nelson has intro
duced a drainage billin the Senate
which las been referred to the
Department. and upon which hear
ings will be had. The Legislative
Committee will then present the
case If the d Red Re lake Indians and
Of the settlers.

him to take a VACATION. He is|

The Yorkville Enquirer does not be-
lieve in the proposition that a man
can lift himself up by his boot straps
1t does NO. believe that it is possible
to convert hard times into good times
by simply talking good times. 1t has
been the observation Of The Yorkville
Enquirer that people who seek to make
good times for themselves in that way
generally wake up to find themselves
deprived ofs what they already had
There never has been but one good way
to get ahead in the world and that has
been by being careful with what you
have and working hard to get some
more. The commonest fault of human
nature probably is that Of making eX-
cuses-trying to account for failures
and derelictions on other than true
grounds 1t is only the truth that wins
and only those who are honest with
themselves can hope to be safe.

Business With Russia.

The conditions laid down by the ad-
ministration for the resumption of
business with Russia are unquestion-
ably sound.
1t has been represented that the
Lenine government has all along been
claiming that it would, do almost any
way with foreign governments until it
should find itself in a. position to do as
it pleased.
So far as the records go there has
never before been an open declaration
of such policy; but it is not to be
denied that there has been much prac-
tIce Of it both by nations and indi-
viduas.
No upright business man cares to
have anything to do with any other
business" man who Is known to be
dishonest and without regard to the
sacred obligations Of contract. The
same applies to upright nations.
Regardless of her change in govern
ment Russia, is still morally and legally
responsible for the full payment OF
every obligation of the previous gov
ernment as much so as it would be
with regard to obligations Of the pres
ent government. .
II it is fact that labor is not free
in Russia; that men haye to labor and
leave the proceeds of their labor to be
disposed of by others. that is 4 con-
dition that should not be approved by
any other government. Under this
state of affairs the condition Of the
Russian people would not be much
better than as the condition Of those
poor negroes on the Williams place
down in Georgia, and no sclf-respect-
ing nation would tolerate Russian
conditions any more than self
respecting citizen could tolerate the
conditions on the Williams farm.
AS to whether conditions in Russia
are really as indicated, has not yet
been made clear; but If such conditions
do exist, then it is only matter Of a
little more time until the present Rus
sian government must fall into COM
plete disintegration.

The Tax Commission.

There is no other one thing that IS
more essential to the orderly conduct of
the state government or 10 the material
prosperity of the state than such re-
form in the common attitude to taxa
ton as will distribute the burdens of
government more evenly and cquitably
on those who arc best able to pay.
The most serious obstacle in the way
of attaining the end desired is ignor-
ance and selfishness on the part OF
such Il large per cent of the taxpayers
IL seliishnesS which finds its most
natural expression in the policy Of "ev-
cry one for himself, and the devil take
the hindmost." along with an ignor-
ance which is too dense 10 appreciate
the disadvantage that attaches to all
who follow such policy.
About ninety per cent of the people
arc now suffering from the unfair and
ineuuitablc conditions now surround
