Proposes Remedy for
Chippewa Controversy,
Dennison WheeIock, Wisconsin Attorney,
endeaIoring 10 Aid ChlpWewas.

The investigating committee OF
the U. S. Senate, which has been
in the Indian country since Aug.
%, completed its hearings on the
various complaints presented by
the Chippewas, with a brief session
at Red Lake on Friday Of last
week, and then proceeded by auto
mobile to the White Earth reser-
vation, where the committee
viewed the former boarding school
and examined conditions at the
hospital. As stated elsewhere in
this issue of The Tomahawk, the
conclusions of the committee from
this initial investigation in
the field, will not be known until
it makes its report, yet, it is ap.
parent to many persons that the
hearings have shown a condition
of affairs which are deplorable and
can be remedied in perhaps only
one way. That remedy was sug-
gested in our last issue, which is
to eliminate from the Chippewa
problem the intelligent and com
petent Indians by payment to them
of every cent that is coming to
them under the trust created by
the Act of January IA, 1889, so
that the duties of the Indian Bu-
reau can be narrowed down to
taking care of the interests of the
incompetents, only. This, of
course, should not be done in any
arbitrary manner, but by processes
which should insure fairness and
justice. No Indian should be
punished for being civilized and
competent, nor should any Indian
be rewarded for being lazy and
worthless. But whether worthless
or competent each should be al
lowed the equal protection of the
law, which can only be afforded by
legalizing the meetings of the In
dians, on the plan of the ordinary
town meetings. wherein the bust.
ness of all the Chippewas may be
transacted and presented to Con-
gress in an orderly and authorita-
tive manner. Upon the fling of
any petition by such a meeting,
the Congress could resort to the
Indian Bureau for a report, just
as it now does, and thus be advised
on both sides of the question, and
if new legislation is proposed it
could refer the matter to such a
meeting for its views.
This would enable the Chippe-
was 10 stand upon the same footing
as the Indian Bureau in all matters
in which Congress is sole arbiter,-
no longer to be disregarded on the
ground that the matters are sup
ported by small faction only"
The trouble has always been that
Congress was oily advised on one
side-the Indian Office side-when
considering legislation for the
Chippewas, which a legalized
meeting of the Indians would
eliminate. The first essential in
solving the Chippewa problem is
therefore a lega!ized meeting of
the Chippewas, whatever name it
may bear. The next, we suggest,
is the placing on the books Of the
u. S. Treasury to the credit of
the Chippewas Of every dollar
which the United States admits it
owes the Chippewas, without
prejudice to the filing of all claims
| in the Court of Claims, for sums

though, Ray finished last. nearly 100
yards behind Hahn.
Hahn is one of the sensations of the
athletic world this winter. Although
he has been a consistent victor in
ordinary fields, he became especially
prominent when he won over Ray in
the 1,o00-meter event at the Silk -Ath-
letic Association games in New York
about two weeks ago.
He appears to be a very capable and
steady performer from 1000 to 1900
meters and probably would give Ray
another great race should they be op-
ponents in Georgetown's big games.
The Hilltoppers are after Hahn for the
meet here, and it is believed their
efforts will be successful.

will be held at the Hilltop tonight to
check entries already received and pre-
pare the relay race program. A num-
