In lS47, while DIR. Whitman and his

an epidemic of measles broke out in
the tribe.
DR.. Whitman and his wife did what
they could for the suffering Indians

Indian medicine men, coupled with
the customs of the Indians them
selves, persuaded the sufferers to try
the wonders of the sweat cure.

mind. II the white medicine mans

AS a result OF this reasoning, hun.

sweathouse course of treatment and
were fished out Of the pool dead as a

This plague of death visited on the
tribe was placed to the account OF
DR.. Whitman, and he was accused OF
having given the Indians poison when
he pretended to give them medicine,
Partly. largely in fact, on this account
the massacre was planned and carried

where it was tried before Judge q.
A. Byington about year ago. 1t
was brought by the state Of Iowa on
complaint Of Martha Wilson, who al
legged that, though incorporated as a
religious organization, the society, in
violation of its charter rights, engaged
in agricultural pursuits and in bust
ness and manufacturing enterprises
for financial gain.
The questions chiefly confronting
the supreme court were: First, What
is religion?" and second, is the prop
erty OF this society used for religious
purposes?'
The attorney general, in presenting
his argument on the appeal from the
lower court, laid down the issue fairly
in his definition of religion. He says:
Religion pertains to the spiritual be-
lief and welfare of man as distinct
from his physical wants and necessi-
ties. 1t relates to the ethics of life,
to hope and belief in Immortality.
Secular pursuits, on the other
hand, and those pertaining to the ma
terial and physical wants of man are
clearly distinct from things spiritual
and holy They relate to temporal as
distinct from holy interests; not i'm
mediately or primarily rescepting the
soul, but the body
| The attorney general based his ar
gument on this ground, to the effect
that the Amana society was not purely
religious body, as incorporated.
In its answer to this definition the
decision of the court says that while
the statement Of the attorney general
may perhaps be theoretically correct,
the practical and religious cannot be
so easily divorced in every day life
The anticipated advantages of
nearly every religion or creed are
made dependant in the life its fol
heard are that the exalted doctrines
or righteousness professed are too
frequently forgotten in the ordinary
pursuits Of life and that the contests
for wealth, in some circles, are waged
with the capacity of beasts of prey
Surely scheme Of life designed to
obviate such results and. by removing
temptation and all inducements of am
bition and avarice, to nurture the vir
tues of unselfishness, patience, love
and service ought not to be denounced
as not pertaining to religion when its
dsyotees regarded 1t as an essentia
tenet of their religious faith"
The court holds that the Amana so
ciett is founded for such purpose a:
outlined, finds that no speculation i:
permitted in it's real estate transac
ton, and that there is no effort tt
secure an income greater than thu
needs Of the organization.
1t discounts the argument that sucl
a communal settlement is dangerou
, to American ideals and politics and IL
, conclusion holds that the society ha
not exceeded it's powers as religion
corporation and aftirms the decision
