ucation, but it is against his nature and
usually at the expense Of longevity.
example. He acquired fair education
and after few years became editor of
the Chemawa American, paper of
some literary merit. But as Brown pro
gressed in his studies he weakened in
body and died over a year ago Of con-
sumption Before his death Brown
said: "Superinta tandent Irwin found me
down on the Columbia river and drag
ged me into school, but don't know
that I'm any happier or better off for
it,"
Ages of the unfettered freedom Of
forest and plain have untitled the In
dian for sedentary life. He is not yet
ready to accept the customs in full Of
the caucasian. For him athletics have
more fascination than the miracles Of
geometery, the utility of algebra, the
niceties of rhetoric, as taught in col
leges. His ancestors had love for
paint, feathers, beads and sports. and
bright uniforms, brass bands and ath-
letic sports has charms for the young
Indian today. 1t is through these
Superintendent Potter of Chemawa In
dian Training School is reaching his
pupils and they are making better pro-
gress than ever before. 1t is no great
surprise to Superintendent Potter, or
any one else, that Sam Morris partook
of flrewater In Portland. Mr.. Potter
considered well the matter of allowing
Morris to sign with the Brown baseball
team, and he made no mistake in doing
il. Morris was getting good wages and
was u source of inspiration to other
students of the school, and Mr.. Potter
believed as he had right to expect,
that the management of the baseball
team would look after the sobriety of
Morris as well as the rest of the team.
That he was guilty of common breach
of etiquette, it is safe to assume, will
not stagger Superintendent Potter.
Morris is a good Indian yet and It is
unfair to the cause of the Indian to put
his picture in the paper and write
poetry about It every time the Nez
Pierces Indian takes drink.

NORRIS, THE INDIAN.

The attitude of the Oregonian toward
Sam Morris, the Indian baseballist,
for going on little jag, is near unto
persecution. Locally and editorially it
has attacked the defenseless Indian,
and in poetry and in prose written of
his bacchanalian escapade. The even
ing Morris over imbibed and holEered
out on Portland's quiet streets, there
were probably score or more of others
slumbering off a worse soak beneath
the tables, but Morris is an Indian and
the only one who receives mention. Get
ting drunk is indefenslble but
1t is hard to see that it is any worse for
Nez Pierces Indian than any other
person. That Morris was able to ''hol-
lern is evidence that he was not SO far
gone as others. He hadn't yet passed
the "hollerin" stage. That he is some
what more demonstrative than some
drinkers is merely racial question
Then the fact that Morris got drunk
does not necessarily mean that he is an
irretrievably lost Indian. White men
become intoxicated and get over 1t,
sometimes, always if whisky is put be-
y9nd their reach. Morris may never
drink again if the Oregonian poet will
leave him alone.
The Portland paper Is also too severe
in its structures of the superintendent
of the Chemawa Indian training school
for permitting Morris. student of that
institution, to join baseball team.
The fact Is Superintendent Potter is
one Of the best men to handleIndians in
the government service. He has built
Chemawa up to fourth place among the
Indian schools of the nation and there
is promise Of its taking third place soon.
Under his superintendent there has
been lacking the wrangling that charac
tertzed preceding administrations and
attendance has gradually increased
since he took charge. Mr.. Potter is a
close student Of Indian character and
his method Of educating and developing
them has been in the main, successful.
II Is a mistake to take the young In
dian from the reservation and expect
70 develop and make the most of him
by holding him down in close conflne-
meut to a college curriculum. Some
times i II true, he win acquire the ed

OBSERVATIONS

somewhere and he starts a-rulnin' excited way, lookin' fer the eggsit. But pretty soon it begins to dawn on his teeline intillgence that he can't escape and thin he give an exybisbun of hIsh jumpin' that wad make Billy Ew!ne and George Baldwin turn grane wid envy, and all this time the rat a-holdin onto his neck like d fireman in d tug O-war team, and a-Sittin' there jist d. cool and collected as Tiddy Roseveli on buckin brOncho. Aflher about tin minutes of thim acrObatic manoovers the cat gifts out O wind and lays iown, anu thin the rat jumps off and goes into the corner wid d look av dsghust on it's ;ae too dape for spache. The Particular Favyrite looks up and see Spincer'S white face a-pecriug at h.n, through he window, and he gives q sort av pa' helic meow, and opincer walks in and brings him out. 'Byes. : sez Spncer, tryin' to brace himself up and lux phllyspohical, 'thot cat has got good siuse. He knows he was niver intinded fer dirhty rat killin'; he was eddicated for ginleel cat, to stay around the house and wear bells and pink ribbons. Just yez wait onlil l ., home and get me Special Pride am m show yez some of the natest rat killin' iver recorded in the annals av sportin' evintS.'
 "So Spincer starts off on the room fer his risidence. and in the meantime. ji>t to kape the rat from suiferin' iron, ongwee, we gets q hungry malamute and turns him into his inclosure, but as soon as he began to receive attinshuns from the rat, his yells waz so heart rinding that we had to take him out fer fear ay bein' arristed fer disturbin the Sabbath. Spincer comes rushn' back all out of breath wid his Special Pride in his arms an a quiet little smile av triumph sort O beglnnin' to sprnut around the corners of his mouth, and we all crowded around to see the final act of this absorbn' tragedy. But no sooner had the Special Pride entered the ring than the rat made vishus lunge at his face. The cat ducked and countered wid his right, but the rat was too quick, and securing firm holt on the end av the cats tail delied him to mortal combat. The Special Pride whirled round and round and round
 first one way an thin the other, but all to no avail; the rat waz always right there on the end av his tail, jist out O raich. They fought wid these tactics fer about 20 minutes, and thin the Spe- cial Pride got dizzy and laid down. A.
