What Will You Do For The
Orphan?

The most pitiful, the most appeal
ing sight in this world is that of an
orphan child without home. And
this condition constitutes him a most
serious menace to society.
When the lights are brightly burn
ing in your comfortable home on
Thanksgiving night, when the chill
dren's hour has come, spare an in
stant's thought for those little ones
homeless, without father, without
mother, set adrift through no fault
of theirs to find what harbor they
may-and let conscience say whether
your duty to them has been dis
discharged.
Consider those children of yours
look at them now; that little tot so
bravely struggling again the Sand
man, those of larger growth busy
with lessons for tomorrow, so well
started along life's road, to become
fine, useful citizens, with all of life's
opportunities before them
Turn your thoughts for minute
just a minute from this sweet
picture to some ill-clad, shivering,
hungfy, wistful little object out there
in the dark. Through no fault of
its own, that other child is denied
all that is given yours.
That other one out there in the
dark, perhaps peering through your
bright windows, will be denied all
these blessings unless this appeal
reaches your heart and soul, and un-
less you do those things which the
God of the fatherless expects you to
do in the name of His own beloved
Son.
How can you do this, how can you
so give that your charity will reach
directly to the homeless orphan-and
how much should you be reasonably
asked to give?
You are asked to give, as Thanks
giving offering, the equivalent of one
days salary to some one of the
North Carolina orphanages or home
placing institutions-all of them do
ing a work blessed of God.
If that amount is larger than you
can afford, you are asked to make
some contribution in money and send
il to the orphanage you prefer, or
through your church or fraternal
1 society.
You are asked to do this in His
name for those of His unfortunates
so sopely needing your aid and your
comfort.
And remember, please remember,
on this Thanksgiving day-and on
all other days-that the North Caro-
lima orphanages' are quite unable to
care for hundreds of homeless little
ones-ismply through lack of means
with which to do it.
SO let this Thanksgiving day APP
peal reach your heart, and consider
what may be done about it. For if
you will earnestly consider the mat
ter-look at it as a personal privi-
lege, an opportunity to render serv-
ice such as Christ himself would do
you will find happiness in your
thoughts for many day after.
And think of this: Winter is ap-
preaching with its cold, its suffer
ings, and its privations for many

comes Ole o. Sageng, who once

real scare he ever had, with the
announcement that he will again
be a candidate for congressional
honors before the Republican
convention at Moorehead on March
30th. Mr.. Sageng is man with
many friends and tho at one time
he was identified with the old
Populist party and later with the
Democratic party, he is now
classed as a staunch Republican
and is reported as having done
much in support of Harding in
the last campaign. Congressman
Stevenson has announced that he
will not seek the convention en-
dorsement but will 60 to the
people direct in the June prim-
aries. He would appreciate the
convention endorsement and may
get it anyway but in all probable

after congressional honors. The
fight will be a merry one from
now on. Either one of the new
aspirants would do justice to the
Office. Mr.. Selvig having the
edge on the situation in the north

opinion throughout the district is

Stevenson spent nearly four hours
in bis assault upon the good
characteH Of the dead and the
members of the General Council.
Some of the members of the Com
mittee knew that it was the men,
bers of the General Council who
were instrumental IN starting the
political fight against Steenerson
which is certain next spring to
result in his permanent retirment
from public life. !.

Steenerson nor Knutson touched
any real question presented by the,

Congressman Charles Davis,
who introduced the bill, appeared
before the Committee and told. the
Committee some plain truths. He
paid q tribute to the character Of.
the men who composed the Gener-
al Council. He told of the work
of the General Council and its
attorney had done, how they had
reduced the appropriations from
the trust funds from more than
$2O0. 900 per annum to about $780,
600 per annum. He told the Conn
mittee how the Indians had been
robbed of their property and Of
|lthe efforts Of the General Council
and its attorney to recover back
their property for them. He told
the Committee that he had an i ~
preston which was equivalent to a
conviction of the reasons which
impelled one of the congressman
from the state to appear before
the Committee in opposition to the
bill. At the time Mr.. Davis spoke

Congressman Halvor Steenerson

He showed 40 utter unfamiliarity

ervation remaining after allotments
bad been made to- all the members
of the Red Lake band. He read to
the Committee a portion of section
l of the Act of January II, 1889,
and part of the agreement with
the Red Lake Indians entered into
Hereunder The very law and the
very agreement he read to the
Committee provided for the identi
cal distribution of the Red Lake
reservation the General Council
and it's attorney had for years been
contending. Mr.. Steenerson then
launched into an attack upon Ben
L. Fairbanks and Gus H. Beaulieu,
both of whom are dead and unable
to defend their good names. As he
mentioned the names of Ben L.
Fairbanks and Gus H. Beaulieu,
Chairman Snyder interrupted HIM
and inquired: Are Lot Mr.. Fair
banks and Mr.. Beaulieu both dead?
This did not stop STEVENSON in his
assault upon the memory of those
two men who did so much for the
Chippewa people. Stevenson read
from the Graham Investigation
showingthat Gus H. Beaulieu and
B. L. Fairbanks had at. one time
been in the employ of some of the
lumber companies. He endeavored
70 carefully conceal from the Com
mittee that their employment by
any. lumber company antedated
many years the organization Of the
General Council. He deliberately
attempted in this Indirect way TO
connect the officers Of the General
Council with the lumber interests,
all of which was farcial to those
VITO knew the facts. He carefully
concealed from the Committee that

ment worth probably $4,000 in

Carefully passing over. that dam
aging portion Of the Graham
record to his own reputation, he
launched vile attack upon Ben
T.. Fairbanks and Theo. H. Beaul-
leu, claiming that they we're con-
,nected with what be called the
great land frauds on the White
Earth reservation. He read from
the Graham record where Ben l..
Fairbanks admitted that he was
the owner of probably $1,000 acres
Of land in that country. He then
called upon 4 representative of the
Department Of Justice, who ap'
peared at the, hearing at the re-
quest Of Steenerson. to produce
the record ofthe suits fled against
Ben L. Fairbanks and Theo. H.
.Beaulieu in connection with the
so called land, frauds. The young
man produced the record and il
showed nine suits filed against
Ben. L. Fairbanks which were
compromised by the payment Of
something less than $4,000. He
then produced d + record showing
that one suit was filed against
Theo. H. Beaulleu for alleged
inadequacy of consideration, and
Steenerson attempted to use this
record to show that Ben. T. Fair
banks and Theo. H. Beaulieu had
been parties to what he called the
grert timber steals. He apparent
" failed to realize that if Ben L.
