ORDER OF CHOMPS FOUNDED IN KAS. William Allen White Gets After State Senator Dumont Smith. Vow York Sun Special Service. Emporia, Kan., Aug. 30.A wrath ful letter from State Senator Dumont Smith to William Allen White, in which he accuses White of calling him either a tooocller or a cbump," is ansTvered by White, who, in an editorial, welcomes Smith to the order of chumps. Smith left the opening when he wrote: I may be a chump, but I am not a boodler." White said in his answer: "Since Ben Franklin's day the An cient, Free and Accepted Order of Chumps has been running this country. Men who insist on putting two and together to make five who ,iumPtwo BEST INDIANS NOW INDEPENDENT POLICY OF NO-WORK-NOrPAY 'IS A GOOD ONE. Commissioner Lenpp Is Encouraged Over the Work Being Done by the Wards of the NationAn Explana tion as to the Alleged "Hair-Cut- ting- Order." By W. W. Jcrmane. Washington, Aug. 30."The best Indians with whom the government has to deal are those who have not had a cent's worth of aid from the federal treasury," is the way Francis E. Leupp, commissioner of (Indian Hair-Cutting Order. "What has been the effect of the so called hair-cutting order, issued a year or two ago?" ".By n'o word or act of mine shall any Tn'dian be compelled to cut his hair. Of course, hair cutting is urged as a matter of cleanliness, but I believe there are other and more important things to be done for the Indian than to compel him to have his lon'g locks clipped. At some agencies, hair cut ting was a penalty for misdemeanors committed by the Indians. An agent would wait for one of his charges to get into the calaboose for some infrac tion of the regulations, and as a penalty would have the delinquent's hair cut. This method of bringing about a reform j^Jfas something in the nature of the pen alty imposed upon youngsters in my youthful days for small misdoings. The children would be made to learn a chap ter in the Bible or a hymn. Naturally, the small boy had a loathing for the fnclians ood books from that time on aWd many look upon hair cutting in the same lighta disgrace. There will be no forced hair cutting while I am com missioner of Indian affairs." W. W. Jermane.

The Northern Pacific railway forms the connecting link for travel via the Great Lakes. All of the larger Great Lakes' steamers touch at Duluth and form a means Of travel that is at once interesting and comparatively in expensive. Another good feature about it is that you avoid the monotony bf an all-rail trip. Better plan to go east via the Northern Pacific and the Great Lakes. Information and time of sail ing of all steamers can be secured from G. F. McNeill, City Passenger Agent, 19 Nicollet Block, Minneapolis, Minn. w$ IS^fp^Sfl a conclusions even if they have to make it in two '.rumps," are the people who do things. "Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jack eon and Stephen Douglas were early members of the order, and Mark Hanna in the senatorial election. of. 1897 and William McKinley in the matter of 'our plain duty,' were past masters. Theodore Roosevelt has often come home from grand lodge and exempli fied the work."- White says further that he has been thru thirty-five degrees himself and ex pects to take a few side degrees before he dies.. He gives Smith the right hand of fellowship in the Order of Chumps. It i, affairs, summed up his four months of observ ation of Indians all over the country. "Take the Klamath Indians of Ore- gon," continued Mr. Leupp. "They are as progressive as any on the conti nent. They wear the garb of the white man, have their own small portions of land, and their homes are as well built and furnished as those any white farmer would want to have. That tribe has never had a cent from the government for support. "At the other extreme, so far as the adoption of the white man's dress is concerned, are the Navajos. They are Indians pure and simplej and yet they are perfectly independent. They have their flocks of sheep, raise their own crops and are as fully as independent as the Klamaths. And with all this, the Navajos are good fellowshospit able, intelligent and up to the stand- ard of the whites in all that pertains to independence. I intend to give them some sheep, not as an act of charity, but to improve the breed. In 1895, when this tribe was in sore straits, it was proposed to give it $25,000 to tide it over the winter. Some of the old chiefs wrote me ask ing me to use my best endeavors to prevent the government from doing this, as they did not want to pauper ize and corrupt the young men." No-Work-No-Bations Policy. "How are the policies inaugurated in recent years working out, the no work-no-ration policy, for instance?" "Very well," was the reply. "Of course there was a great outcry among the Indians who had been living on government rations, but they soon realized that it was a case of work or starve. On the Crow reservation, in Montana, for instance, the Indians are constructing the finest kind of irriga tion works one of the most extensive in the country, and the work they are performing is as good as could have been done by white laborers. The same thing is being done on a smaller scale on the Cheyenne and Arapahoe reservation in Oklahoma." Beturaed Students. "Are the returned students having any effect in elevating the general tone of the Indians on the reservations?" "Everything of that kind depe'n'ds upon the student himself. In individ ual cases there have been students who have had the moral courage to with stand the jeers and sneers of their fel lows who haVe not been to the schools, and who maintain' themselves as they were taught at the school. Others, lacking the necessary backbone and moral force, have gradually receded to the level of the other and less progres sive members of the tribe. In some instances, where there area number of returned students on a reservation re turnee! students* associations have been organized.''
