RID JACKET, AFTER WHOM
THIS VILLAGE WAS NAMED
Tall Stately Young Seneca Indian Was
a Marvellous Runner and Was EN-
ployed by the British as a Scout
During the Revolutionary War-Got
His Name From Red Coat.

The village OF Red Jacket and the
Red Jacket mine or shaft were named
after the famous Indian. a Seneca. Red
Jacket, whose real name was Sagoye-
watha. Red Jacket was never in this
part of the country, i'm fact little was
known about the Lake Superior region
until long after his death.
The tall, stately. young Seneca, sag
oyewatha, was the neetest runner
among the Indian scouts employed by
the British i'm the revolutionary war.
tie was tireless and covered long
stretches OF rough country with mar
velous speed. British officer to-
ward the end of the revolution gave
Sagoyewatha a cast-off uniform jack
It. brilliant scarlet and faced with
gold braid. The gift was a prize for
running. Sagoyewatha's barbaric soul
rejoiced at so gaudy a garment. He
wore IL day and night until is was
in shreds. And thereby he won for
himself the nickname by which he h
best known 10 hstory-"Red Jacket"
Red Jacket was strange man. Even
his own people did not know whether
10 despise or honor him. In battle he
was a coward. In council he was
genius. He was at once patriot and
a low politician; a reformer and a
crook; a friend to the white men and
their bitter foe. His eloquence could
sway a whole Indian nation" He
could plan inspired campaigns Of war

Succeeds the Great Brant.
Red Jacket was born near Geneva, |
n. Y. in 1851. and succeeded the great I
Grant as chief Of the Wolf tribe Of .
the Seneca nation" Brant despised /
him for his cowardice, and in con- /
tempt nicknamed him The Cow Kill /

Jacket became the foremost man i'm .

way to supremacy among people who /
admired deeds rather than words.

his people espoused the British cause.
II was as a forest runner and scout
for the English officers. rather than as
warrior, that Rcd Jacket distinguish
cd himself during the revolutionary
years.
In 1884 a conference was held at
Fort Stanwix To discuss a treaty be-
tween the Six Nations and the United
states. Red Jacket argued fcrccly
against such "a treaty and used all his
wonderful eloqucnce to avert it, Yet
when he failed and the treaty was
ratified he promptly threw his in
fucncc upon the other side and rem
dered the country such good service
among his own people that i'm 1892 the
president conferred upon him a huge
silver medal This medal represented

rouse the various Indian tribes against

learned of the plot and notified the

help Uncle Sam check this wholesale
conspiracy. Soon afterward. at the
beginning of the war of 1912 with Eng

REvolT Elsewhere.

Revolt against machine rule Is moi
confined to Tennessee by any means
What was done in this State on Mon
day has also been done in Illinois
There the Republicans have majOri-
" in the House Of Representatives,
but a minority in protest against the
high-handed methods and corrupt dom
ination of the State machine Of which
GOV. Deneen is the head, have joined
with the Democrats and elected, a
Speaker in opposition to the caucus
nominee of the Republicans.
If the leader of the recalcirant Re
publicans has correctly stated the is
sue, conditions in that State very
much resemble those which exist and
have existed in Tennessee for the past
two years. The Governor has sought
to dominate the Legislature, to die
tate the measures that it shall pass
and to determine who shall preside
over it's deliberations. The same
thing was attempted in Tennessee,
but fortunately for the State the peo-
pie had elected a Legislature whose
members stood true to their pledges |
and their constitutional oaths.
If the leader of the bolt in Illinois
had been describing conditions in Ten
nessee he could not have been nearer
the truth than he was when he made
this statement:
We are unalterably opposed to the
practice of allowing the Governor to
dominate the Legislature.
The selection of its own officers is
entirely a power which properly be-
ongs to the Legislature. The Cover
Tor, therefore, has no more right to
attempt to control this than he has to
ry to dictate decisions of the SUI
IRENE Court, and none at all to use
he influence and patronage of his
Ugh Office for such purpose.
THE practice has grown until it has
ecome menace to our present form
f government. 1t is too much power
D place in the hands of any man,
nd we believe the time is ripe to put :.
stop to the habit; time to compel :,
ach department of the State Govern
tent to attend strictly to its own af- :.
lirs."
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1909-01-15

The Herald points with pride to the
fact that 1t was perhaps the first pa
per, certainly the first daily in Ten
nessee, that advocated a union of the
forces of civic righteousness in the
Legislature without reference to party
alignments. More than a month ago
this paper took the position that there
was no occasion for caucus action in
the General Assembly. We argued
then that there were no party issues
before the Legislature; that there
were no questions upon which all good
men could not unite; that honest Dem
ocrats and honest Republicans were
alike concerned in the enactment of
so necessary for the good
name and peace of the State. Our
position has been vindicated.

AFOREMENTIONED 1871.

Superintendent Graham Is deserving
Of The compliment which his unan
imous reelection implies. Since b
has been al the head Of the public
school department Of the eOuntF prog
tress. system and efficiency have marked
that most important institution Of a
free people II is no disparagement
to his predecessors TO say that the
public schools Of Maury county have
never been so prosperous, so well
equipped for the work that is before
them and so deserving Of patronage as
they are now. II must be remarked
however, that they are yet very far
from being what they should be, but
this is not due, to any lack of energy
or ability upon the part of the Super
intendent. but very largely TO the fall
ure of the County Court to provide
the funds necessary to bring them to
that high state of efficiency which
would make them an object of pride
to every patriotic citizen.
Although he has been hampered by
lack of funds, many incompetent or
poorly equipped teachers have been
employed because the salaries did not
justify those better prepared to apply |
for the positions, the Superintendent
has done a splendid work for the chill
dren during the past two years and
his friends are confident that by rea-
son of his experience and ripper knowl-
edge he will do much better service
during the ensuing term. There has
never been a more thoroughly con-
scientious official in the county than
John P. Graham, and if he makes
errors they are of the head and not Of
he heart. In congratulating him upon
lis endorsement we also extend con-
to the County Court upon
he wisdom of its selection and to the
eople upon having secured a new
ease upon the services of one so d
devoted to their best inter-
SITS. Y
