A NOTED INDIAN FAtILx.

sturms Oklahoma Magazine for No- vember has an interesting account of Rev. Amos Mcintosh, contributed by Mrs. Reed. who has charge of the In- dian department of the magazine. Mir. Mcintosh is Baptist minister. but it is not of him that we propose to speak. but of his ancestry. for his name car ries us back to an interesting period of Alabama history and the Creek In- dians, and of the part taken by an ancestor of the minister referred to.
 General William Mcintosh was a half-breed Creek Indian by birth. but he was friend of both, the races. He belonged to the Coweta tribe. and with his warriors fought bravely under General Jackson at the famous battle of Horseshoe Bend. Afterwards he was with the American army in the war with the seminoles. Unfortunate ly for him, his friendship for the whites proved his undoing. When our government was trying to extinguish the Indian title to lands held by tho Creek Nation a large majority of the chiefs and individuals of the tribe re- fused to join in making a treaty with the United States. General Mcintosh. however, with parts of the chiefs and other men signed what is known as the treaty of Indian Springs. in 1S2t, we believe, by which the title to mucn of the lands claimed by the Creek Ma 4f.. vVae onnveved ao cur poVerumant

in direct opposition to the wishes of a majority of the Nation. and was aware that by signing the treaty he would incur the enmity of his people.
 It is probable that Mcintosh was more far-seeing than were others who were prominent among his people. He saw that the white man was bound to rule and that the whites would in one way or another obtain full control of all the lands then claimed by the In- dians. Understanding this he thought 1t best for them to make the best terms they could, to dispose of their lands and prepare to go to the new homes promised them in the far West. It was charged that the General was bribed and that he was paid liberaliy for Sywhat others of his people looked on as treachery to them, but it is more charitable to suppose that he was acting for the best as he saw t, and doing what he considered best for his people.
 Be that as 1t may. his fate was sealed from the time that he signed the treaty, He was outIawed, pro-. nounced an enemy to his tribe and his death was solehhnty and irrevocabiy decreed. They did not try, condemn and execute him, ner did they wayiay and shoot him nnawares. A number of the TuckabatchteN tribe, led by Creek chief, surrounded his home one night in. May. 1925, and called on him to surrender. He ran out Of his house. probably hoping to escape. but was shot dead in his own yard, together with companion who was also under sentence. His son, Chilly Mcintosh, escaped and we believe went with his tribe to the West. Rev. Amos McIn- tosh is great grandson of the Gem eral, and Is said to be a highly useful man among his people in the Indian Nation, where he lives and labors among theTp- Reading of him and his ancestry reminded us of the services and tragic end of the first of the name of whom we have any account.

GETTING MoNoroNOus.

If the railroads cannot make pres ent schedules they should change them and save the public annoyance, delay s ana expense. It is not a pleasant thing to start from one point to an other to meet important engagements, and reach destination six to ten hours late and perhaps find xour trip for nothing It is decidedly disagreeabIe 10 wait hours around depots on delay ed trains and then have t. wait at other points because the | aims you expected to take had left hAurs be- fore. This is the personal inconve- nience, expensive side of it.
 The matter of delay in .-ails is caus- tng immense losses to the business public. Mail matter that might pc attended to one day has to lay over because of failure of trains to arrive on time or any where near time. Con- nections are broken to such an extent that people do not know what to ex- pect. It Is getting to be matter of such moment that complaint is well nigh universal The Rural Free De- livery system is demoralized because of these delays, as we'll as the service, in the towns and cities. Something will have to be done and that speedily. If present schedules cannot be made then the best plan is to change them. If trains are kept in Washington or Cincinnati hours over time waiting on connections let changes be made at initial point so that a long suffering and patient public will not have to stand around depots waiting for the train that does not come.

Secretary Shaw endeavored to change the nature of the Government clerk and has failed dismally. He was surprised to learn some time ago that very few of his clerks were saving money and that most of them were regular patrons of money lenders, so he instructed the disbursing officer to pay them in checks instead of cash. his idea being that they would go to the bank to get their cheeks cashed and would thus be led to invest a little in saving in- stitutions. The move was futile. On tracing the history of these pay checks Secretary Shaw was horrifed to find that large portion of them were reg ularly cashed by the proprietor of d flourishing saloon a couple of blocks from the Treasury Department. This discovery so disgusted MT. Shaw that he rescinded the pay check order.

It is a proper saying that the man who buys a vote is just as bad as the man who sells 1t. The same principle is intended to apply in the matter of giving and receiving railroad rebates. The Philadelphia Record we'll says ''The equilibrium of the scalcs held by Justice with her eyes bandaged has been restored by the conviction of the Sugar Trust of extorting rebates from the New York Central Railroad. Tho carrier had already been convicted, and as the rebate is somsthlng that the powerful shipper extorts from the railroad company it was necessary to secure the conviction of the party that committed the extortion. Yet this has not been done in all cases. There have been more convictions of rail- roads than of shippers"

Commenting on a recent automobile tragedy in New York in which two persons lost their lives as the logical and direct outcome of reckless speed ing. The Hartford Times says:
 Such internal exhibitions of speed insanity involve. 2 gross abuse of the were confined to the occupants of the vehicle and voluntarily assumed by them. the situation wouldn't be so Ot- fensiye. But the peril is extended to as the result of this particular dis play of unbridled recklessness, the persons in the mad-moving automobile monopolized the injury done and the a mere incident of the accident, or, perhaps, a mere accident of the incis dent.
 Q From what we have learned of this case the fatal results were wholly due to reckIessness. They were driving iu Central Park in the night and the owner Of the car said to the occupants; Now I'll give you the fastest ride of your life" He kept his word, and in few minutes he and another were dead. In one sense of the word 1t was murder and suicide both, for the driv- CT Of the machine notsonly risked his own life, but the lives of those who were with him
 The Times intimates that If only those who ride in these machines were injured or endangered it would not much matter, but that is hardly fair way to look at it. If none was in danger but the one who drives the car at a reckless gait it would not matter so much. but generally there are oth- CTS in the machine who are in no way to blame for the recklessness of the driver, and who would much prefer slower and safer movement. They are often the helpless and blameless vic- tims of what may be called the ma niacal desire of the drivers to exceed all others in speed. and the death Of one of these unwilling victims is lit . tie less than murder. In addition, all who may be on the road over which the auto is speeding are endangered. . Plainly there should be some proven tive of speed madness.

Something To Think About.
Making Enemies for Organized Labor


 Charleston News and Courier.
 The case is stated accurately by the Providence, R. l, Journal, in discuss ing the interference of the American bring immigrants to the South as fol-
 If this happens, something may happen to the Amertean Federation or lation. The South is in deadly earnest In this immigration matter. Claiming that it cannot advantageously use ne- gro labor finding 1t impossl1is nS sds to ,@- Se- practicable to divert tmmi grafton from Northern ports, its far-reachlng plans. now practicallv ipaugurated by the hringing of more than a thousand Eu- ropean Immigrants direct to one of its own ports, represent the development nf q purpose long striven for, and one that Is of tremendous consequence. The South is firm in the conviction that it's industrial development depends upon this movement. It IS easy to foresee that, if the Federation succeeds in making trouble for the South in shis matter. the legislation that so imperils the success of the enterprise will it. self be imperilled. The South will surely be solid to raise such an issue If this situation results, the Federation may be painted and surprised to discov- CT a considerable Northern sentiment, heretofore pretty successful subdued. Supporting the Southern representa- lives in Congress to strike the prOvis- ions fro mthe statutes, or so to amend them as to. permit a greater freedom In making engagements and agree ments with foreign lahorers
 Congressmen who represent the man ufacturing towns and cities of the North have excellent reason to dread offending the Trades Unions, but the Congressnen from the South will be moved by no such fear. The large ma iority of their constituents are farm CTS who dwell in a land sparsely set- tied and hungering for development. These farmers as rule not only own their lands, but have lands to sell when satisfactory prices are offered. They have seen the fertility of millions of acres deteriorate because intelligent and industrious and frugal laborers have not been available, and they have been forced to lease lands by the year to class of tillers whose objects is to produce a single crop, regardless ot the cost to the soil
 The southern Congressman who, with rare exceptions. represent no great corporate interests. are natural Iv disposed to sympathize with work infimen in their efforts to Improve their condition-they cannot be expec- ted to stand idle If the organized la boring men of other sections undertake to barricade the South against develop ment from within or without.

ALLOWING TEMPER Te GOVERN.

The Advertiser is not going to quar- rel with the City Council but 1t does not think that it has in any way misrepre- scented that body, either in editorial or news columns. We have said and re- peat that the separate car ordinance under existing circumstances was ill., advised and unfortunate and that the Mayor was right in vetoing it. The Council saw proper to override the veto and if 1t did not expect 1t to be en- forced we do not understand why the veto should have been defeated. The Advertiser has often scored the street car company for failure to do its duty to the public and to comply with agreements. No member of the City Council is any more in favor of sep- aration of the races in the cars than The Advertiser, but we submit that without having separate cars and 1t can be accomplished here. It is phy- sical impossibility for the Traction Company to double it's transportation facilities now and it is either that or schedules twice as long between cars as the present one, which everybody win testify is slow and tiresome enough to vex even patient old Job himself Separation marks can be placed here as in New Orleans. Birm- ingham and other cities and members of each race required to take seats ac- cordingly. We do not know of a city that requires one street car for blacks and another for whites. Separation is secured without that. Our friends of the Council have simply allowed anger to get away with their judgment.

boFing men of the South will support MT, Gompers In his obatructing tactics. They must know that the cause of or ganized labor Is hopeless in the South go long as the great preponderance of laborlng men IS composed of negroes, with whom cooperation is uncertain and difficult, and who have practically no voice in political affairs.
 The attitude of Mir. Gompers and his associates amounts to warfare against southern white labor. It places south ern white workingmen on notice that nc enort will be spared by Northern workingmen to held them at the mercy Of negro competition by preventing the admission of white laborers.
