Abraham Lincoln has been dead al
most 60 years, but more and more the
world is coming to know him and love
him. Millions of American boys have
memorized the Gettysburg address
Millions of American grownups have
smiled with tears in their eyes at some
newly told anecdote of the droll rail
splitter Biographies, memorials and
-Actional interpretations Of his life
have piled higher and higher the pyra-
mid of Lincoln lore.
AS Statesmen See Themselves.
@Now he belongs to the ages sobbed
the same Edwin M Stanton at the
bedside of the martyred President.
Perhaps it would be worth while to
examine how the ages have treated
him, and how he has treated the ages
that is, how the legend has influ-
enced the careers Of statesmen and the
creeds Of political and social move
ments.
Lincoln was so genuinely sympa-
thetic with so many sides of so many
questions that it has been easy for
parties and statesmen to find in their
own careers and beliefs echoes of the
life Of Lincoln
Statesmen in particular find 1t easy
to see in themselves the same quail
ties Lincoln had. A President Of the
United States wrote book, "The New
Freedom which appears to be a
plagiarism, Justifable plagiarism, Of
course, but still plagiarism, Of the
''New Birth of Freedom" of the Get
tysburg address.
In a speech in Hodgenville, KY, in
1915, President Wilson said: II have
read many biographies of Lincoln; /
have sought ont with the greatest In
terest the many intimate stories that
are told Of him, the narratives of
nearby friends, the sketches at close
quarters, in which those who had the
privilege Of being associated with him
have tried to depict The very man him
self in his habit as he lived; but
found nowhere real intimate of Lin
coins. That brooding spirit had
no real familiars IT was a very
lonely spirit that looked beneath those
shaggy brows and comprehended men
without fully communicating with
them, as If, in spite Of all It's genial
efforts at comradeship, 1t dwelt apart
and saw its visions of duty where no
man looked on"
The President was trying to describe
Lincoln, but had he been writing his
own epitaph could it have been more
patheticaIly exact?
What Would Lincoln Have Done7
President Roosevelt wore, at his
first Inauguration, a ring with a lock
of Lincolns hair in it, present from
John Hay. Later he wrote in letter
to one of his children that when he
was in doubt as to what to do in q
given situation he found great com
fort in trying to think what Lincoln
would have done under similar cir
cumstances.
America knows of the letter Lincoln
wrote to a Massachusetts woman who
had lost five sons in the Civil war. In
that great war the governor Of an
American state dictated and signed
letters tof course no executive could
have time to write them alp which

John R. Brown Still
Worrying About
Fate Of ChippeWas.
United Charities Head Wakes Eloquent
In Referring 10 Minnesota Chippswas.

Under the caption Rapid Drop
is Seen in Chippewa Funds" the
St. Paul Pioneer Press of We'd
nesday, March 3lst, published an
account Of luncheon of then
Women's Welfare League of St.
Paul, and at which Mr.. John r..
Brown, secretary of the United
Charities of that city. and recently
of Chippewa Investigating"
fame, is quoted as saying in an
address to the ladies, that the
$12, 100000 tribal fund of the
Chippewas has shrunk to about
$2,OOO,O0O or $3,OOO,OOO; that the
Indian has a 8 year old mind, and
still WE treat him as an adult"
Fer the information of this imam
Brown who, by the way has been
very active of late in misrepre
senting the Chippewas and their
condition to the public, making
socaIled Investigations" etc., and
forapy- Others who-are not -ins
formed On matters pertaining to
the Indians, we offer the informa-
tion that the Chippewa tribal fund
is not and never has been reduced
to $2,000,000 or $4,000, 900, on
the contrary the fund has been
enriched during tho past three
years to the extent of nearly
$4, 100000. This fund now ag-
gregates some S., 100000 or more.
This statement of Mr.. Browns is
on Il par with other statements he
has given out to the press regard
ing the Chippewa Indians. There
is no truth in it. So far as the
Indian being possessed Of a 9-year
old mind, we can truthfully say
that after reading John r, Browns
half witted stateypents in the public
press regarding the Chippewa ln.
dians and their troubles, we are
convinced that, on the contrary, it
is John r. Brown himself who is
thus handicapped. 1t seems to

His reward in earthly things was

The funeral was held from the

cause Mr.. Brown considerable
worry and loss of sleep whenever
lie sees or hears of an Indian using
any of his own money for any
little comfort or luxury in this
vale of tears. What if the Indian
did buy dress suit! We know
Of thousands of lndions who would
make better appearance 10 a
dress suit than we venture Mr..
John Brown would, we presume
Mr.. Brown would rather see the
Indian with nothing at all, or at
mosS with only a blanket. We
know of no instance where a
Minnesota Chippewa Indian has
used any allotment of his own
money he may have been lucky
enough to receive to buy a
limousine, if any. Indian ownes
one he probably can afford it. 1t
is an absession with many people
in Minnesota who are not familiar
with the affairs of the Indians,
that they are all destined to be-
come charges of the State. There
is no cause for worry on that
score. If the Chippewas should
get what is due them from the
federal government, and they are
at present in a fair way of doing
this, there are very few if any
among them that would ever
become charges of the State.
Furthermore, the federal govern
ment has no intention of paying
off and turning lose those Indians
who are not entirely able to take
cIre Of themselves and TO handle
their own affairs.
The greatest drawback with
which the Indians have to contend
with today is the meddling of just
such busy -bodies as this man
Brown and his following. If such
as these would only keep their
hands off of the Indian and his

Fasting Among
The Indians,

A new dispatch tells US that
Harry Wills, the pugilist believes
in fasting.
1t is said he often goes fifteen
or twenty days without food and
with very little water. He usually
takes these fasts before hard train
ing.
Many people, including the
modern Indian, are ignorant of
the good results of fasting. Often
by stopping the intake of food
morbid conditions of the body
may be overcome.
Nine tenths of the diseases could
be cured if the people would fast
occasionally.
This was a common practice
among the older Indians before
the coming of tie white man.
They trained their children to fast,
just as they trained them in the
art of hunting and fishing. OF
course, fasting will not cure a
broken arm nor put back a foot
that has been cut off. 1t may not
cure hang nails, but many of the
ordinary diseases of a minor ma.
ture to which humanity is subject

not be entitled to probably only

The ChippeWas
And Attorneys
Chippswas Will be Very Popular With the
Disciples Of Blackstone This Summer.

With the anticipated passage by
Congress at this session Of the
Chippewa Jurisdictional Bill,
many attorneys, both of Minneso
ia and elsewhere, are already so.
LISTING the support of the Indians
in an effort to obtain a contract
from the Indians to represent them
before the Court of Claims in the
prosecution of their claims against
the United States.
Mr. Webster Ballinger, of
Washington, d. c., who has rep
resented the Chippewas for the
past thirteen years without com
pensation or contract, is still busy
in their behalf and has the loyal
support of a vast. ma jority of the
we'll informed, educated Indians.
They know that it is Mr.. Baliinger
who is responsible for bringing
the Chippewa situation to the
present state where it is very
likely the Indians will be permit,
ed to go into the courts and pro
.secute their claims against the
United States. If it. had not been
for tho persistent and careful work
of NJ. Ballanger the Chippewa
situation would today be where it
was twenty years ago. No attor
ney in this state or in Washington
has made the carful study of the
Chippewa situation and is so
thoroughly acquainted with all the
details as Is Mr.. BalIanger, he has
made Chippewa matter study for
the past fifteen years. 1t is hard
to predict who will be successful in
landing the attorneyship, this is to
be desided this summer by a coun
Gil on this reservation for the ap
pointment of an attorney and a
like council some whore else in the
Chippewa country for the other
attorney; and Indian cnudcils are
hard things to make any predict
ions on.
1t, is our op;noin that these
councils to appoint the two at.
torneys to represent the Indians
should be held just as the juss
dictional bill provides; that is, that
all the Indians on the White Earth
reservation should hold one council
not a council with only representa-
tiyes from the so called bands on
the reservation, for they ali belong
| to and are members OF the White
Earth reservations, anc that such
council should select their at
torney, and likewise all the Indians
off the White Earth reservation
should bold a like council aud moi

of Chronic heart disease,
Deceased was born at Fort
Dodge, Iowa in October 1878, and
grew to manhood in that comm
unity. At an early age he took
up railroadwork, starting in the
roundhouse, serving as locomotive
fireman, aud later became locomo.
tive engineer on the Milwaukee
road. This occupation became too
strenuous after a time, so he took
up the printers trade and in a
short while became a master of the
trade. He became acquainted with
the late Gus H. Beaulieu, who then
owned The ToMAHAwK, and thru
the efforts of Mr.. Beaulieu, the
deceased was induced to come to
White Earth, in 1903 and take full
charge of the The ToMAHAwK, be
has since that time edited the paper
and since the death of Gus H.
Beaulieu, has edited and managed
the paper until his death. On
July 25, 1904 he was united in
marriage to Mrs. Lucy Santwier,
a resident of the village, and they
haved lived together ever since.

at his Office, he suffered an acute
attack of heart disease, from which
he has been long sufferer, he was
unable to make his way nome and
was found at the Office in the fore

attack. He was then taken to his
home and everything that medical
skill and lovings hand could do was
employed but nothing could arrest
the cruel ravages of the insicuo1s
disease and on Monday at Z o'clock

Old Timers to Cross
Bats with Waterville
High Team May 10

Especial to Kennebec JournaD
Waterville. May Wednesday,,
May 10, is to be one of the> biggest
days in the baseball annals of the
Elm City. that being the date on
which a team of Old Timers will
cross bats with the Waterville High
school team on Seaverns' field in an
exhibition game for the benefit of
the high school athletic field fund.
Invitation has been extended to
Governor Brewster to be present and
it is expected that he and number
of other State dignitaries will attend
the game. There is a possibility too,
that Judge Lands, high potentate of
professional baseball circles. will be
an honored guest. The Judge is
scheduled TO be in Portland on the
day previous to the Waterville ceie-
bration and an urgent bid for his
presence has been sent him.
Never before in the history of the
city has such an aggregation of ball
stars been gotten together here and
among those who may appear in the
conflict are such names as Bill Car
rigan, Squanto Wilson. Ben Houser,
George Stobie' and a host of others.
