Six Nations turn with great energy
to the white mans ways of living, and
everywhere Improvement has been
noted in the towns and on the farms,
where harm raisings are numerous,
and in several cases steam ploughs
are being used.
But while many of the white mans
ways entered into the makeup of the
Six Nations Indian when he put white
mans clothing on his back, some
aboriginal customs still cling TO him.
Thus it comes about that whenever a
Mohawk or Iroquois brave wants to
summon his wedding guests he Sc
cures purple grain of com. passes
quietly among the crowd of his fell
lows and slips the grain for a moment
into the hand OF him whom he desires
as a guest at the festivities.
The Six Nations bride has not vet
fallen in love with the printed wedding
card, even though her mother is deep
ly offended whenever any one refers
to her in the good old Indian way as
sQuaw.
Another striking example of the new
Indian is found in California among
the Diggers, long considered the lowest
of the North American red men.
Many a Digger still lives on worms
and grasshopper pies, but he is usual
ly of the dying generation. The large
majority of the members of the pres
ent generation have departed absolute

fathers, and are living in the white
mans way.
This is true of as many full-blooded
Diggers as of those that nave white
Hood in their veins: and neither class
is small. numerically. These Dig
gers have been more successful in agri-
cultural pursuits and cattle raising
than their white neighbors.
This is especially true of the half

poems are ranchers and fruit growers.
From their old Spanish masters they
took Spanish names, so many are
known by such names as Rodriguez,
Vallejo, Ramirez and Sanchez, which
gives the superficial tourist the i'm
preston that these pure red men are
the children of Old Spanish settlers.
They are not so energetic or partial
to academic studies as the reformed
Diggers up state. but in their own way
they are just as thoroughly civilized.
In Arizona, New Mexico and parts
of Colorado another phase of Indian
civilization is visible. Here the bucks
still go to town in blankets and long
hair; it is in their home life that the
change is most apparent.
They 1--we in comfortable wooden
houses, farm the land by white meth
DDS, have the latest patented kind of
ploughs, harrows, sewers and reapers,
drive about in modern farm wagons
behind spans of mules, harnessed ac-
cording to Eastern methods, and keep
themselves informed of the rise and
fall of the markets. When working
on their farms they dress in the ordi-
nary overalls and jumpers of the Amer
lean farmland.
There are a few examples of the evo-
luton of the new Indian. So wide
spread has been this change from the
old to the new that when the promot-
ers of the Indian shows to be given at
the st. Louis exhibition made their
contracts with the Indians they stipu-
lated in the agreements that the noble
red man should appear exclusively in
the garb that is inseparably connected
with the Indian, and not in frock coats
and top hats.

TAKE TO OUR WAYS.
Fashion Seems to Have Done What
Force Could Not Do.
From the New York Sun.


The Indian has to a great extent
abandoned the attire of mis- ancestors
and to-day is likely to be found wear
ing the ordinary dress of the white
man. And the change in his way of
living is almost as great.
That has come about, with one or
two exceptions-as, for instance, the
Cherokees-within the last decade, or
even less, and has been wrought al
most simultaneously in tribes separated
from one another by hundreds of miles.
For over a century the Indians of
America has been systematically sub
1ected by the government to the pro-
cesses of civilization. They opposed
it. fought it all along and have inev-
itably decreased In numerical strength
and power.
They were persistent in clinging to
tradition, but now, after all these
years. they have seemingly arrived at
the conclusion in their own fashion
that to be saved, they must conform
TO the white mans way. IT is simply
the natural law of self-preservation as
sorting itself.
The scientists who are noting the
change with wonder have found no
sharper contrast between two success

displayed by the Six Nations on their
reservation in Canada, whittier they

New York state in order to throw in
their lot with the British.

The Alaska Indians also have shown
a remarkable tendency to adopt civiliz-
ed ways within the last ten years. In
California there are many full bloods
from Ala ska tribes studying In the pub
lie schools. and several have entered
the State University where they have
shown remarkable intelligence.
A Swedish trader named Sandalin
has been instrumental in sending down
to San Francisco numbers of children
of prominent chiefs, all of whom have
become cultivated citizens of this coun-
try. Others have come of their own
volition and have returned to spread
enlightenment among their own people
and now the Indians around Fort
Wrangel. Kadiak and Sitka are any,
thing but barbarous, and the traveller
in the Far North sees whole commun-
tiles of red men who wear the garb
of Western civilization with the ease
of the Occidental himself.
Like their far-away brothers in
! Alaska, the full blooded red men of
southern California also are fast ac-
curing new ways.
These Indians were Christianized a
century ago by the Spanish padres.
Father Junipero Sierra was especially
active in converting the red heather.
But converting them to Christianity
and bringing them into a state of slav-
cry meant about the same thing with
him.
Thus, the poems of the early mis-
sions were civilized only in that they
were not hostile to white men. They
titled the soil for the monks as the
villains of medieval times did for
their baronial masters. but education
did not enter into the contract On
the contrary, 1t was avoided as dan
gerous.
1t was left to the Americans within
the last two decades to teach the
Southern California Indians real civ
ilization which they did by throwing
open schools and colleges to them, and
now these Indians form a part OF the
population worthy of respect and con-
sheraton. Most Of these civilized

An American who once spent week
at the home of one of these Digger
ranchers and wine growers says:
His home was supplied with every
civilized article of comfort and adorn-
ment. The young rancher himself was

extensively. He could discuss litera-
ture as intelligently as he could speak

every bit as refined at those of his
American neighbors.

dress for trousers and felt hats The
change has been so general that it
would seem to be the result of pre-
concerted action. but the Indians and
the agents deny that such is the case.
On the other hand, not few of the
braves have secretly admitted that the
women had a great deal to do with the

women's papers and magazines and
saw all sorts of white womens clothes
in them. Then they got to thinking
that blankets and an occasional calico
slip were not coed enough for then
and longed for the dresses they'd seen
in these maya zines.
"Well, you know the women Of the
Six Nations have always run the

they saw that our blankets and their
cloth skirts didn't go well together.
Well the women have always govern
ed the Six Nations, and before long
we were wearing store clothes, just
like the white men,"
1t is true that the Mohawk women
took the lead in adopting modern
, dress, and they have become such
skilful sewers and follow the fashions
so closely that they rival the white
women of adjacent towns in matters
of dress.

Either the Maine ST. Louis commits
sioners are playing a double game with
the newspapers of the State, or else at
least two newspapers are guilty of a
breach of faithutterly unworthy of repu-

sent out by the commissioners and with
it was letter saying that this matter
is sent simultaneously to all the leading
papers of the State with the under
standing that it is not to be released
for publication until Saturday, October

newspaper offices of the State the i'm

Never did a colleges football season
end so suddenly and in such tragic
fashion as that of Perdue University,
Indiana, last Saturday, when the spe-
cial train bearing the eleven and 1000
students and supporters was wrecked
while on it's way to the annual game
for the state championship. A score of
young men dead, including many of the
team and substitutes, and half hun
dred injured, gives an idea of the terrible
disaster and of the scene of suffering
and mourning which ended the joy and
happiness of that excursion. That
much heroism was shown in the thrill
ing work Of rescue and relief is only to
be expected, for most college boys and
college girls have in them the stuff that
heroes are made of. The terrible dis
aster is of special interest in Maine from
the fact that the head coach of the
Perdue eleven was Oliver F. Cults, a
Maine boy who broke his leg while play
ing football at Bates, a decade ago, and
who came into such prominence, two
years ago. as strong player of the
championship Harvard eleven.
