M ANY ny Of the Indians who still
IK keep up their tribal existence
Il are Christians. To them as
to the white people Christmas
Is an important anniversary. but they
celebrate It In their own way. This
way would not be approved by certain
christian denominations OF white peo.
pie because It includes as the chief
feature a dance.
The southwestern Indian tribes have
special fondness for all sorts of cere.
monial dances. When white people
dance they do it for the aesthetic
pleasure OF the performance. the poetry
OF motion, so to speak. Not SO with
the Indians. Every dance has deep
significance to them. When they as
semble for their Christmas observance
they begin by praying for rain and
bountiful crops.
Then follows the dance. This is the
only dance In which the women are
permitted TO take part. The men and
women form in opposite lines and
start up a song, their bodies swaying
In rhythm. Then they break up into
groups and dance toward each other
with hippity-hop step, holding their
bodies rigid.
The next movement is to form a cir.

marine in the Pacific And the Secre-
tary, it is said, admitted that Hawaii
has a grievance.
When the American people divest
themselves oil party prejudices and ex-
anime a business question on its merits
they usually consider it intelligently,
from the practical common-sense
point of view. Secretary Straus is
well qualified to present to Congress
the disadvantages under which the
people of Hawaii labor. A few days
ago Chairman Hull, of the House Mill
tary Affairs Committee, delivered him
self of certain trenchant and uncon-
ventional comments on conditions in
the Philippines Mr. Hull is a Repub-
lican of the straitest sect. He laughs
to scorn the idea that the United
States will sell the Philippines or that
the Filipinos will be made free and
Independent. There are many opinions
on this subject, as Mr.. Hull's is not
conclusive or of special importance in
so far as the political future of the
Philippines is concerned. But this To-
wa Republican insists that it is the
duty of the United States to adopt a
more liberal trade policy in its rela-
tions with the Philippines. The ISL
ands will not prosper, in his view, I'M
til our commercial relations with the
Philippines are established on the
foundation of a fair interchange Of
commodities and products. AS matters
now stand, American possession of the
Philippines has not added to the pros
perity of the islands Against one Of
its own dependencies the United States
maintains a tariff wall This is not
only a fragrant injustice, it is an eco
nomic absurdity 1t is true that Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Secretary9 Taft and
other Republican statesmen favor the
most liberal policy practicable. But
the friends of the tariff are arrayed
in solid phalanx against further con-
cessions. The friends of the Ameri-
can merchant marine have influence
enough to extend our cOastwise ship
ping laws to our insular possessions,
