But in a way the Craxy Snake uprising is a little different proposition than our ordinary frontier story. It has points of similarity with Coxey's army and the Suffragettes. True, the Indians- of the Muskogee reservation do not want what the ardent women's suffragists are after they want, indeed, to be left alone. This brings up the old question as to our policy toward the redskin. At most we could only do right by him according to our ideas, which are quite different from his. The Indian wants to be left alone our congressional attitude has not thought this the wise thing. Hence it is quite natural that a divergence of view point has brought en the friction, r It is no wonder that the Indian of the Creek nation who has been transplanted and well settled should feel resentment toward the whiteaman who has made his laws for him and the feeling has not been lessened by the fact that other white men. took advantage of those laws to gain possession of what the Creek had been led to believe was his. The recent disclosures of the land grabbing' in that section of the country have not been such as to warrant any great . confidence in the white man. The predecessor of Crazy Snake, it is true, was a party to the graft of the white man, but he was far better, for he showed symptoms of repentance, honesty and truth-telling, which are a great contrast ' to those high In the government of the state of Oklahoma. Even the benevolent assimilation policy of. the government' does not seem to have had the effect it ought to have had. The son of Craay Snake was a graduate of Carlisle. He failed to show his strength either in keeping th Indians in harmony with the government or. in acting with his people against the white men. The old principle of stoicism under punishment was rooted out of him as it has been deeply rooted in all his tribe and race. For the white men forced everything out of him with the rope's end. So Crazy Snake cannot think well of his treatment nor has the country much to be proud of. The one hope of the nation of Creeks would seem to have been in taking on civilization, and , at the same time adhering to their ancient good qualities. The former, they are apparentlyunwilling to do the latter, the - educational - institutions of the country seem to have injured. Despoiled by white men, hostile to advances of ' Caucasian improvementnothing but the ravages of tuberculosis seems likely to solve the sorry tangle eventually. THE CALL OF THE WILD.

To say that this adventurous spirit is natural, to say that most men have done it, to say that it is not' wicked, and in other words" to say that many men, ; men who have been most successful have done it at some time in their life will doubtless be interpreted as encouraging boys to run away. But everybody knows that most boys get over it and are perfectly content to come back home after the fever has abated. To break a boy's pride and to make fun of blm arouse his rebellion which is far more dangerous. To such a boy who has ideas and ideals there is a latent possibility which should be led on into expression and say what you will such a boy is usually worthwhile if he has half a snow.

Items Gathered in From Far and Near An Affinity Failure. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. No person of intelligence and experience will be surprised, to learn that the experiences of Ferdinand Pinney Earle, the socialist artist, in securing a soul mate affinity for a wife have proved disastrous. Only failure was to have been expected. , Any other reBult would have been a social calamity. Mr. Earle deserted a wife and baby for a young woman who he thought was designated by fate as his companion. The wife surrendered with an alacrity and cheerfulness that should have put the affinity on her guard, but she was too much obsessed with her passion to receive advice. And now wife No. 2 is after a divorce on the ground that her husband Is an insane brute. Safe and Sane Fourth. From the Milwaukee Wisconsin, v Various cities are advertising the intention of indulging in old-fashioned Fourth of July celebrations this year. So , far as. the fireworks of the oldfashioned celebration are concerned, they have come to be out of date for reasons sufficient to keep them out for all time; but the parade and picnic features, with the formal reading of the Declaration of Independence are worthy of perpetuation. They comport with a safe and sane Fourth of July. r Romances Cut Out. From the Augusta Chronicle.

Destroyer Will Be Named After a Gallant Officer

Washington, March 31. Secretary i of the Navy Meyer has directed that one of the torpedo boat destroyers recently authorised by congress shall be given the name of Monaghan, in memory of Ensign John Robert Monaghan, U. S. N.. who was killed in Samoa on April 1, 1809, by natives while engaged in a reeonnoiseance made by a combined force of British and Americans, Ensign Monaghan. who was from Washington state, was attached to the United States ship Philadelphia, then at Apia. Samoa. Report of Incident. The following is an abstract from the official report of the occurrence made by the commanding officer of that vessel: "It is not clear when Mr. Lansdale THREE COUNTIES VOTE TEMPERANCE Bartholomew, Vermillion and Jennings Added to Long Dry List. TAMPER WITH MACHINES REPORT FROM COLUMBUS, IND., STATES THAT FOR THIS CAUSE OVER SEVEN HUNDRED VOTES WERE LOST. . After strenuous efforts on the part of the saloon men and brewery workers to offset the temperance movement in Vermillion county, a strong coal mine center, that county yester day overcame all obstacles and voted "dry" by a majority' of more than 300. While Vermillion county was thus voting, dispelling the doubt which had existed concerning the outcome, two other counties Bartholomew and Jennings rolled up substantial major ities against the saloons and in the three counties seventy-nine licensed places will be put out -of business. The three yesterday raise the list to forty-one counties in the state in which the voters have chpsen the antirum end of the option issue. Much Corrupt Work Alleged. The voting in Vermillion county yesterday was accompanied by various forms of corruption and attempts at corruption, according to reports which indicate that many of the saloons in Clinton were selling liquor during the day and in addition the charge is made that Terre Haute liquor inter ests endeavored to vote several hun dred colored men and foreigners who were imported for the occasion. Several arrests were made there. In Bartholomew and Jennings counties there were no incidents to mar the peaceful nature of the day and everything is reported quiet in the l-in-clpal towns.' Henry county will vote today and there it is simply a question of the size of the majority. The county is already "dry" by remonstrance. BARTHOLOMEW "DRY." Columbus, Ind., March 31. Bartholomew county yesterday gave a "dry" majority of S29 in the option election. Columbus township, in which Columbus is situated, went "wet" by a majority of thirty-eight. It is estimated that about TOO votes were lost on account of the machines not registering and many believe that they were tampered with. Eighteen saloons in Columbus and five outside the city will be put out of business. Every township lost votes by the machines failing to register. In the fifth precinct in this city 137 votes were lost and eighty-seven were lost in the second. Capt. George Smithy of the police force said he was satisfied the machines had been tampered with. German township surprised even the "drys" by leaving the "wets" behind. The saloon men expected a majority of 400, while the "drys" received 45. The temperance people expected to lose Union township bv a much greater majority. VERMILLION OUSTS THEM. Newport, Ind., March 31. Vermillion county temperance forces are jubilant because of their victory in the county option election yesterday, after having encountered great obstacles put up by the saloon interests in parts of the county. The county gives a majority of 333, according to the unofficial but complete returns. The election passed off quietly in every township except Clinton, where It is reported the "wets" imported 250 negroes and 150 foreigners from Terre Haute, a number of whom succeeded in voting. Two arrests were made at Clinton both being foreigners for attempting to vote. m JENNINGS "DRY' 518. North .Vernon, Ind., March 31. Jennings county voted against licensed saloons yesterday by a majority unofficially given as 518; There was a good percentage of the vote cast and no incidents to mar the day's events. Center township, in which North Vernon is situated, voted "wet" by a majority, of eighty. There are thirteen saloons in this city and in Vernon which will be affected by today's voting. . Fifty pounds of candles will produce the same amount of illdmination as 1,OOO feet of gas. . : The Importation of tea Into the United States has ranged from ,000.000 to I18j000,000 a jeax-

received the wound in his chest. It is in evidence most clear that when Ensign Monaghan discovered that Lieutenant L&nsdale was wounded he used his best endeavors to convey him to the rear, and. seizing a rifle from a disabled man. made a brave defense, but undoubtedly he fell very shortly after joining him, and the hostile natives, flushed with success, bore down on our men In his vicinity. The men were not in sufficient numbers to bold out any longer and they were forced along by a fire which it was impossible to withstand. Ensign Monaghan did stand. He stood steadfast by his wounded superior and friend one rifle against many one brave man against a score of savages. He knew he van doomed; he could not yield. He died in heroic performance of duty."

OPTION ELECTION III HENRY TOOAY Everything Is Quiet and Drys Will Roll Up a Very Heavy Vote. EXPECT 1,500 MAJORITY PREDICTION IS MADE THAT EVERY TOWNSHIP IN THE COUNTY WILL GO FOR TEMPERANCE WETS SUBDUED. New Castle. Ind., March 31. "It is only a question of bow large the majority will be in Henry county in the local option election," said Horace G. Yergln, secretary of the Henry County local Option election organization, when seen today. Mr. Yergin is confident that Henry county, already "dry" by remonstrance, will vote "dry" by at least 3,000 and possibly 2,000. Since the campaign was started two weeks ago the slogan of the temperance forces has been, ."Henry County dry by 2,000," and every effort will be made to roll up this figure. The organization has been perfect, and in the last ten days every section of the coun ty has been flooded with oratory and literature. The liquor men have no organization at all and the brewers have sent no money or aid of any kind into the county. Saloon Men Fair. The only effort made by former sa loon men was in the printing and dis tribution of sample ballots showing voters how to vote intelligently. These sample ballots issued by the saloon men did not only show how to vote "wet," but also J'dry," and showed that no underhanded effort was being made to secure votes. The prediction is being made that every township in the county will go "dry," and this seems entirely probable. The county has close to 8,000 voters, but it is not expected that more than 73 per cent of these will vote. Everything is quiet and the election today is exciting but little interest. The temperance organization had workers out all day long and with automobiles and carriages took the voters to the polls. Special effort was put forth to see that no one votes who is not legally qualified, and those attempting it, will be prosecuted. The organization offers a reward of $100 for the arrest and conviction of any one illegally voting. MANY TOWNS HAVE ' FIRE JUG TROUBLE Number of Incendiary Fires Are Reported. Grant county Is not alone In. its troubles wit'a firebugs. Reports from Huntington and Wabash counties state a number of incendiary fires have occurred within the last few weeks and an organization has been affected among the farmers to try and ferret out the guilty persons. What could be the object of the fire fiend is not known as no attempt at robbery has been made. There Is great indignation and summary punishment is promised the offenders if apprehended. The man's risk of sudden death is eight to one greater than that of the woman's.

HASTINGS WORKS HARDjJlllD JOB Swamping Secretary of State With Telegrams of Endorsement.

STATE HOUSE CUSTODIAN THAT IS THE POSITION THE HAM MOND MAN IS AFTER AND IT WON'T BE HIS FAULT IF HE DON'T GET IT. Special Correspondent. Indianapolis. March 31. W. J. Hast ings, of Hammond, has swamped Secretary of State Sims and Auditor of State Billheimer with telegrams of endorse ment, and if he does not land the position of custodian of the state house it will not be his fault. It is said on the best of authority that the position has been promised to Hastings by Billheimer and Sims, and that it is sure to go to him, even though Governor Marshall does appoint some one else. Sims and Billheimer are a majority of the board which they claim has the power under the 1805 law to make the appointment, and they say they intend to do so. Governor Marshall says the 1805 law is void and that he has the right to appoint. So there you are, but Hastings is hopeful. He was advised a few days ago to have two or three republicans of Lake county send in their endorsement of him as a candidate for custodian. Hastings wired three or four friends at Hammond to send In their endorsements. Result Not Expected. The result was more than he or anybody else ever expected, for up to last night about eighty telegrams had reached the office of the secretary of state from Lake County, all urging Hastings for custodian. . These all go to prove the popularity of Hastings In his home county and they also show that Lake county republicans are not unmindful of the fact that they did the work last year that saved the state for the republican ticket. Hastings is believed by many to have a cinch of the job because Lake county must be recognized in some way.
