Chippewa Relief Bill
Slated for Passage,

Washington, March 22.-The
United States Senate is expected
to pass this month the bill intro

providing for the payment of
claims to the Chippewa Indians of
Minnesota for back annuities. The
bill has already passed the House
and it appears there is No opposi-
ton to it in the Senate.
The bill was reported to the
Senate b. Senator Harreld,. Of
Oklahoma. 1t authorizes the Sec
retary of the Interior to pay, any

throwing the rolls open to any one
who can trace a drop of Indian
blood in their veins regardless of
the fact that they have never lived
with the Indians or affiliated with
the tribe in any manner at any
time, is not justice to the Indians
by any means. We understand
there is at present more than
seventeen hundred application on
file in the agency Office at ,Cass
Lake for enrolment since the
possibility became apparent that
they might be enrolled by simply
getting some one, often for price,
to sign affidavits to the effect that
they are members of the tribe and
entitled to enrolment, and thereby
obtain a large sum of money as
back annuities. 1t is rumored that
some of these applicants even

now proclaim their status in the

Wefa|d Bill Provides for
High School Teachers
At Whie Earth School.

Representative Knud Wefald has
introduced a bill in the House of
Representatives authorizing the
employment of high school teach-
ers at the White Earth Indian
school. The measure provides
that the Secretary of the Interior
may spend 1000 annually for the
employment of high school teach
ers at this institution ''for the
instruction of children of the
Chippewa Indians in the State of
Minnesota" .1.-.
Mr.. Wefald's bill was presented
in the form of an amendment to
the regular appropriation bill for

When, finally, something was

the voluntary act of John @. CAL
houn, who, as Secretary of War,
felt that the American people had
a moral duty in this direction. He
simply addressed an order to a
colonel in the Regular Army, de-
failing him to act as chief of a
bureau of Indian affairs. Prior to
that time there had been dealings
with the Indians through various
agents of the Government for
special purposes, but these dealings
had been mainly in the way of
trade, settlement of little wars,
and negotiations for removing In
dians from lands desired by the
whites. r
After Calhoun's act of detailing
an army officer to do what he could
for the welfare of the Indians, the
work went along under various
names and with little money until
1849, when the newly created De
partmsnt of the Interior took over
the Indian welfare work from the
War Department. Indian problems
multiplied as the young nation
expanded. Previously the Gov
ernment had had to concern itself
mainly with Indians east of the
Mississippi River and north of
Florida. Then the problem became

the Indians OF the region now con-
stituting Washington, Oregon and
Idaho became moral charge upon
the Government. The gold hunt
ers we're on the overland trail or
coming coastwise by the far Straits
of Magellan or across the Isthmus
of Panama. The Indians of the
whole country were, at last, in
touch with the destructive :hing
called civilization, andthe agency
of the Government which sought
to safeguard them hada far-fung
task.
That was seventy five years ago.
The work has gone slowly. But at
the end of a century of effort from
Calhoun's beginning, two-thirds
of the Indians of the United States
are citizens. The Bureau operates
229 schools for Indian edacation.
1t maintains Is hospitals for Indian
patients and has $50 physicians
detailed to reservation practice.
The great bulk of Indians are self
supporting. Many of them are
wealthy. More than a third of
the total number, by reason of
education and competency, have
been released from all jurisdiction
of the Federal Government. For
a decade past the Indian popula
tion has steadily increased.
The fruit, late ripening as it
seems, is sound. There is future
for the Indian in the United States.
Men will speculate endlessly as to
what form that future will take.
just as they speculate endlessly as
to what the past of the Indian in
North America really was. Emin-
ent authorities will assert that he
was always a savage out and out.
One of the famous. specialists of
the Bureau of American Ethnol-
ogy, on the other hand, recently
asserted that the Five Nations had
all through the seventeenth CEN
tury the best form of government
then existent in the world. The
point is that whatever the Indians g
nature makes him capable of ne
has opportunity to become in the
United States.
The time has come now to con.
slider the abolition of the Bureau
that was instituted so informally a
hundred years ago. Then the In
dians were all distinctly dependent
peoples, and needed the paternal
protection of the Government.
Now all the Indians are certainly
approaching the stage where they
should have the protection t.

The Easier Way.

Here is something for the gloom
spreaders to think about. The
Milwaukee Journal says that a
Psychologist has figured out that
it takes four times as many mus
cles of the face to produce a
frown as smile. So, if you are
one of those who darken the day,
you are really working overtime.
Why not change to the smile bri-
gade and give your facial muscles
a rest?
The smile will do even more, it
will give your mind rest also. A
few experiments when you are
alone In your room will convince
you that the frown requires a con-
centration which is especially
wearing, while the smile affords
mental relief. Whether it be a
smile of greeting, of appreciation
or OF amusement, it has its tonic
qualities and it is the surest an
tidote to depression.

Report of Conference.

Public Health Conference at
Madison was we'll attended. Goitre
Prevention, Dental Hygiene, and
Baby Clinics were matters of i'm
portance.
The prevention of goitre should
be started in it's early stages, the
most important time being be-
tween the ages of 10 and II, al
though the Iodie treatment is be-
gun earlier in some cases. Goitre
is often found in mere infants
and also starts in people who are
we'll advanced in life, said DIR.
Guilford at the Public Health Con-
ference at Madison, March 18th,
the first day of the conference.
Goitre prevention is being carried
on in many of our Wisconsin
schools with great success. The
treatment being given by the
Teacher or School Nurse, under
the direction of a physician. The
Iodine Treatment should not be
given unless it is given under the
directions of a physician, said DR..
Guilford. This treatment is often
financed by Clubs and Organiza-
tions in the various towns. We
all know that Villas county is in
the Goitre Belt, about 500 of our
school children have one. Why
not interest our Parent Teachers
associations in work of this kind?
One afternoon was spent discus
sing clinics, the main ones: tonsil
and dental. Dental Clinics work
in both city and rural districts
was presented and from all reports
have been very successful, where
dentists are plentiful, but in our
county where we have only two
dentists we have a harder problem
to contend with. Plans are now
being made to- hold Dental and
Tonsil Clinic in various parts of
the county this coming vacation,
an eye clinic will also be held in
connection. Several talks were
given ON Infant and Pre-school
Feeding by DR.. Sylvia Stuessy and
Dr. Mendenhall of Madison. DIR.
F. J. Gaenslen, Milwaukee gave
q demonstration in Muscle Train
ing. DR.. Smiley Blantom, Associate
Professor of Speech Hygiene, Uni
versity of Wisconsin gave an in
teresting lecture on Personality
Disorders of the Child. He said
that the training of the child
should begin when he is but few
days old, not to let the child have
his way until he is a year or two
old and then try to form new
ways. The child is very much like
grown person, let a grown per-
son have his own way in every
thing for a time and when you
stop doing that there is trouble
and you wonder what is wrong,
