Naming Indians.

Under instructions from President
Roosevelt DR.. Charles a. Eastman, a
Sioux Indian, has renamed more than
$4,000 Sioux with family names, says
a writer in The World Today, in order
TO make the Inheritance of land more
simple and secure.
Where possible he has kept the orig
inal Sioux name of some member of a
family. as in bestowing the name MA
tosGa," meaning white Bear" ON the
family of that chief. Sometimes the
combination of wife's name and hus-
bands has made a musical name. as
"Winona Otana." The favorite name
for woman means "she who has
beautiful home" which DR.. Eastman
has Anglicized in the patronymic
GOOdhouse."
But by far the hardest task Is in
finding new names for the absurdities
OF Indian nomenclature. Bob Tailed
Coyote" was a young Indian who has
come to prefer himself as Robert I.
Wolf" After a long struggle with
Rotten Pumpkin Dr. Eastman has at
last recorded the owner Of the name
on the tribal records under the nom
cCmmittal title of Robert Pumpian."

In 'What Is Religion?' by Henry S.
Pritchett, president of the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology, is
found this answer to the question:
"And what is religion as the man Of
science apprehends it? Stripped Of all
forms Of conventional language, laying
aside the imagery and the traditions
which cling about the very word itself,
religion presents itself to the man
trained In science as nothing other
than the divine life in the human soul
a life which manifests itself, as all life
manifests itself, by the growth which
it brings forth, the divine flowers OF
the human observation-disclosures, love.
fearlessness, serenity, patience, serv-

STEPPING OFF CARS.
Methods Used by Some of the Noted
Railroad Men.

AGNnOuH AHe0 Uy some OF NnG Noted
Railroad Men.
Millions of dollars are paid in dam
ages annually to fools who have never
practiced the art of alighting from a
moving car If the railroad managers
had the courage of their convictions or
the foresight of John D. Rockefeller
they would establish schools in all
parts of the world to educate patrons
IN this important matter.
Watch, for instance, some of the not
/ ed railroad men. Let us take big. jol-
I ~, serious. hopeful, restless President
Underwood of the Erie. He is Il strap
ping big man, as strong as President
Roosevelts bull moose and came up
from cross ties No one in the entire
railroad world is his superior in hard
and practical experience. Does Presi-
dent Underwood wait on the platform
until the train is under way before he
decides to get on? Never! No fancy
work with himI When the engineer
pulls open the throttle you can bet all
you own on earth and part of your sal
n
fortably ensconced in his section Of the
Pullman or in his corner of the presl-
dents private car.
Underwood is said to be the strong
est Of all railroad presidents. He is a
Sandow without being muscle bound.
In early youth he was a scrapper from
way back; could lick thrice his weight
in wildcats and looks as if he could do
it now. Tom Lee is a bigger man.
Tom is six feet four inches Did any
body ever see him run for a train or
jump off when his car was in motion?
No. He leaves those feats for fool
passengers. Did George II. Daniels, |
dean emeritus of passenger agents,
ever try to catch train? Never! Or
leap off before a dead stop? Not on
your life! What of Charlie Lambert? 4
A train would have to get off the track /
to pass over him. yet he is ever care
full.

Are We a Christian Nation ?

A writer in Harper's Weekly makes
some interesting comments upon a re-
cent dispute between Rabbi Silverman
and Justice Brewer over the question
''Is America a Christian nation?" Dr..
Silverman cOntended that it is not, the
majority of Americans, according to
him, not being Christians. He holds
that there are over 100000 people in
this country who belong to the various
on-Christian religions or to no re-
ligion at all. DR.. Silverman is quoted
as having affirmed that our govern
ment owes nothing to the Christian
religion as far as its elements are con-
cerned and that, in fact, our govern
ment is founded on the laws of Moses.
The Harper's Weekly writer argues
that the Christian religion itself is
development of the Jewish and that it
might be true that orr government was
founded on the laws of Moses and still
be true that it was based o&ehristian-
ity. An enormous majority of our
people. he says. think in the terms of
the Christian religion: what religion
a man belongs to in a large sense is
not to be determined by his conduct or,
often, by his professions, but by his
history. You can tell what a mans re-
ligion is by the way he swears as well
as by the way he prays. An over
whelming majority of our population
is Christian by heredity and instinct
and it is an entirely justifable use Of
language 70 call the limited States a
Christian nation"

ASKS WARRANTS
In INSURANCE CASE
Move to Iring Campaign COntribu-
.tiOns Before the Courts.
JOHN DOE PROCEEDINGS BEGUN

New York, March 2s. - District At
torney Jerome appeared before Mag
istrate Moss in the Tombs police court
and applied for warrants to be used
in testing the legality of the contribu-
tion of insurance companies funds to
political campaign committees. The
name of no person was mentioned at
the time. After listening to Mr.. Jer-
Ome, Magistrate Moss said that before
he would issue any warrants in the
matter, evidence would have to be pre-
sented that a crime had been commit
ted. To establish this evidence Mr..
Jerome asked for the issuance of a
number of subpoenas in blank to be
used in John Doe" proceedings before
the magistrate. Later these subpoenas
were issued. 1t was said at the dis
trict attorneys Office that every effort
will be made to get the proceedings
under way. All the evidence at the
disposal of the district attorney, it was
stated. will be presented to the court,
and then it will remain with the magis-
trate as to whether or not warrants
shall be issued.
In taking this action. Mr.. Jerome is
carrying out the policy he announced
before Justice O'Sullivan in the court
of special sessions last Friday, when
he defended the opinion he had pre-
viously rendered that there had been
no crime committed in Connection with
the campaign contributions. Justice
O'Sullivan ruled. however, that if It
could be shown there was an intent to
defraud the rightful owners of tie
property, it was for the grand jury to
say whether or not the case was one of
larceny. He so instructed the grand
jury and urged the grand jurors to
fearlessly investigate the matter and
not to seek shelter in the face Of an
unpleasant duty.
Mr.. Jerome asked Justice O'Sullivan
if he would not, sitting as a magistrate,
issue a warrant for the arrest of George
w. Perkins, former vice president of
the New York Life Insurance company,
in order that a writ Of habeas corpus
might be obtained and the matter taken
at once to the highest court. Mr.. Jer-
ONE also suggested that If contributing
to campaign committees by officers of
insurance companies constituted lar
ceny, the matter involved Chairman
George B. COrtelyou and Treasurer
Cornelius N Bliss, of the Republican
national campaign committee, in mat
ter Of receiving stolen goods.
Justice O'Sullivan declined to act in
The case, saying there were plenty of
nagisterial courts before whom the
matter could be placed and warrants
secured.
Before Magistrate Moss issued the
blank subpoenas requested by District
Jerome, he examined Darwin
P Kingsley, vice president of the New
York Life Insurance company, who ap-
reared before him. Edmund D. Ran
Iolph, treasurer. and several employees !
# the New York Life were examined
n the district attorneys office. It was
tated that Mr. Perkins has agreed to
ppear at the proceedings.
