was.' Indeed a 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?
"Do you know, or do you want
to know" said to the old gentle
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 buried9 Do you know that
an Usage is glad to shake hands
with a Chippewa, or a Grow to
shake hands with a blackfeet?
We'll, they are, and all this talk
about it being a 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 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

of their 'Republic''. I've no
doubt though that before they did
there were q lot of hot-headed
lrishmen who spoke up and said,
Me, me, l want to be the leader,
the President of the Irish Repub.
lic. I am a lawyer; I'm a politi.
ciYn; I'm professor, or I'm a
thoroughbred Irishman." And l
suppose there was 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, isn'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 best
records an Indian ever made,
comes strong young fellow whose
heaI, 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 bis
people, the next Commissioner of
1ncian Affairs. But this young
man will no doubt have a hard
time, as there is great deal of
fiction to live down. AS l 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 Com
missioner and he did something

own did not like, the other tribe

times objected to the use of their
money for administrative pur-
poses''. The Department now
proposes to withhold 81, 200, 900

for years to come. If this is per-
mitted then practically all the
money that may be recovered in
the future from the United States,

partment for, administrative and

whether the Chippewa Indians
would ever receive another nickle

Council will not sanction this
scheme. The Council is in favor
of payment to the Indians of the
principal fund, but they will not
consent to large part of the fund

The department did not, when it pre-
pared the bill authorizing the per

law, but offered this provision as a
bait to the Indians, knowing that
the General Council and the Chip:

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 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 to lose the last
Of them in 2! this bis 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 his
people.

thing worth while unless we Or

CHIPPEWA AFFAIRS At
- WASHINGTON. ;
Washington, D. G.
Jan. Is, 1920.


Mr.. John G.. Morrison, Presi-.
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 STEINER
son Drainage Bill and the bill for
the winding up of the affairs OF
the Chippewa people. AS a 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 appropriated 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
$50, 900 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
Che 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 TO expense to the tribe,
The x2Q,OOV represents less tnaL

70 children 10 boarding schools
and will provide public schoo
facilities for probably 900 or 25(
2, Indian children, resulting in

dollars in future years to the tribe
The regular appropriation O
$4,000 for the council was agreed
upon.
$4,000 for the constructor
of roads on the Red Lake Reser

$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 we're submitted to
the Indian Bureau, with the re
qnes, 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 APP
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 Claiuis. Accordingly
the Department andthe Commit
tee included an item of $4,000 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 81 900 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 in 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-
lions are separated and limited t.
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 Steenerson to insist upon
amendments that 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 drainage bill in 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: # the Red Re lake Indians an ?
Of the settlers.
The bill TO wind up the affair!
of the Chippewa Indians has beer
held up until the return Of Assist
ant Commissioner Merritt. He ha'
been i'll and it was necessary fol
him to take q VACATION. He il
expected BACK psxt Monday, a
which time it is expected an agree
ment can be reached with the De
