In the local columns of the Democrat to-
day is published the touching story of
Louis lesson, once the chief of the rem
nant of the tribe of Iowa Indians, whose
reservation is in Brown county, Kansas.
If we understand lessons case rightly, he
is a patriot among patriots. He believes
that for his tribe to part with their lands
means early extinction of the tribe. In
the heat OF a controversy upon this sub
ject ten years ago he is accused of having
slain another chief who favored allotment
in severalty and the sale of the balance of
the reservation. For ten years lesson has
been a fugitive from justice. Away off,
in the wilds of Canada, he hears that a
new chief has been elected and that negO-
tiations for the sale of the Iowa reserva-
ton have been reopened. Still strong in
the belief that this means the ruin of his
people he returns and surrendeTs himself
to the federal authorities, STIMULATING
that he shall be released on bonds long
enough to once more lift up his voice in the
councils of his nation against the measure
he formerly condemned For the sake of
preventing the IowaS from following a
suicidal policy, Louis lesson Is willing to
risk his life and Is going to do so. If there
is loyalty greater than this it has not been
recorded. 1t approaches the sublime de
votion of the humble Nazarine himself
