PASSING OF MEDICINE MAN
Red Men Are Coming to- Believe in
the Virtues of the White
Mans Medicine.

The skilled professional doctor is
one of the greatest helps to the In.
dian, and the Navahos are receiving
him with very little dis:-ust, says the
Southern Workman. The savage mis-
appropriation of things that are ne1
is gradually subsiding, as results make
clear to- him that the white mans medi-
cine is more powerful than his. But
there are exceptions. The purely pi1ysi-
cal troubles may be eradicated by the
doctor, but there still remains in many
cases mental uncertainty that de-
mant1s the attention of the tribal med
icine, man. 1t is not a foible or a
fancy. but mental disease governed
by countless ages of mysticism which
necessitates the occult, mind-easing
treatment Of the old days. This, then,
is mind cure of the Indians = the
Christian Science of the savage, which,
hand in hand with concrete medicine,
exists in all races, whether barbaric
or cultured. 1t is as necessary to the
Indian as certain amount Of mind
cure is essential to our happiness.
The knowledge of modern curative
agents should be impaired to the
younger members Of the tribe. They

and will take readily tothe new. school,
Civilization is disrupting the tribal or
ganization to such an extent that the
major portion of the old laws and be-
liefs relating to the causes and cure Of
disease will soon be things of the past
With this essential Of the old life gone,
the work of the medicine men will have
been finished. At present there must
be certain cooperation between the
modern doctor who goes among then

Farley the Mysterious.
"Farley's here-he will have 1000
negroes at his back and Chicago's

message that went through the room
where were gathered the chiefs of the
teamsters' joint council. The name
Farley was one to conjure with Cd the

from the press wondered if Farley

it was Curry who saw in his throngs

though not altogether clearly, colored
recruits from ST. Louis and the south
a force that could break the warfare
that International President c. P.
Shea, of the Transfers brotherhood,
had precipitated in Chicago.
How Curry Defied Strikers.
The first thing that Curry did when
put in command in Chicago was to
march 300 colored strike breakers
through crowded streets to teach
them the lay of she land" 1t was only
a picnic for Curry. The marchers
were tired and footsore Not so with
Curry. A call went out: I'VE have
lost a wagon. Who will find it? It
has federal injunction placard on it,
but that means some one will lead
the mob to make kindling- wood of it,.
Its a cinch," came the familiar re-
mark of Curry. "Step out here, you
fellows. Follow me-"
Policemen never lodged the show
ers of missiles that were directed at
Curry and his band. Time for grim
joke even by Curry. "They are not

Will Strikebreaker Curry ever get
into the Union League club for fare

Curry for the perilous work speak

They are two scots, male and female
