Passing Of Indian Dances

Of all the Indian festas that of the
eagle dance is perhaps the mos impor-
tant. During this ceremony Young
eagle, the symbol of power upon earth,
is killed, and its spirit, laden with mes
sages, joins that of the dead chief. This
ceremony has recently been held for
the last time in the history of the peo-
pie 1t has always been a fiesta of rare
occurrence, being held only in counmem-
grafton of the death of the ruling chief
or person of great Importance. The
fiesta has not been celebrated for more
than twenty years, and this final one
marks the death of the last of the he
reditary chieftains of the tribe and in
consequence the passing not only of this
title with its sacred trust of legend and
history, but of this peculiar and mystic
rious tribal rite.
The death of the last hereditary chief,
old Cinon Duro, marks literally the pass
ing Of the southern California Indian as
an entity, for with this ancient custo-
dian the wealth of their tradition was
buried, excepting fragmentary records
gathered by few enthusiastic ethnoIo-
gists. This ancient man had no son to
whom he could intrust the sacred mis-
sion. He was over hundred years old
and had practically outlived his own de-
scendants, for in 1860 he had four sons.
This in itself is a pathetic example of
"civilizing Influences" fact which is
emphasized at the spectacle of the
dances, when the gap between the little
group of eight or ten dancers, all over
ninety years of age, wiry, athletic, tire
less, and the lounging spectators of
their own people, young fellows none of
whom are over forty, is especially no
tIceable.

The YoIEa,s RESPONSIBILITY.

In less than two months. the time
will have expired for qualifying to vote
IN the November election. Poll taxes
must be paid on or before May LIST to
entltie one to participate in that cleo
tlon. And unless entitled to vote at
that time. no one can participate in the
Democratic primaries. Let Democrats
remember this. Let them get ready to
perform their duty to the State and 70
their party. For it involves a civic
duty of the highest 6ignity-the exer-
else of the right of suffrage. Lynch
burg News.
And now the Democratic newspapers
In Virginia are beginning to make their
annual plaintive appeals to citizens to
qualify themselves for voting by paying
their poll taxes. We recall the fact
that the News in one of the recent
years, when making similar appeal.
declared that the man who lost his SUI
frage by failure to pay his poll taxes
also lost his citizenship.
When did the News, since the max
ing of the new Constitution for the
State discover that suffrage was a
right" Heretofore the News and its
owner, Mr.. Glass, have contended that
voting was privilege, which a minor
ity of citizens could extend to other
citizens at fixed price per head. 1t
seems that the News has at last awak-
ened to the fact that the exercise of
suffrage is "a civic duty of the highest
dignity and is a right, not privilege,
that attaches to citizenship. Is it legal
or moral to make citizens pay for the
exercise of right which also involves
the performance of a civic duty of the
highest dignity?

Mr.. TAFT's INAUGURAL ADDRESS.

The inaugural address of Mr.. Taft has
been received with almost universal ap-
prevail by the press and the people. II
IS written in a plain unvarnished style
and clearly indicates how the new Pres
ident will stand with regard to all pres
ent leading public questions. One bril-
liant contemporary has remarked that
the address is lacking in literary finish
but that its style is such that anyone
who understands the ordinary English
language can easily comprehend its full
meaning and intention. To our mind
this is the perfection of literary finish
In a State paper or the address of high
public servant
President Taft makes no concealment
that he is in full sympathy with what
has become known as the Roosevelt
policies. He declares that as one of the
advisers of his distinguished predeces-
sor he held up his hands in the reforms
he has initiated, and further declares:
Il should be untrue to myself, to my
promises and the declarations of the
party platform upon which was elect
ed to Office, if did not make the main
tenance and enforcement of those re-
forms most important feature of nv
administration.
In dealing with questions in which
the Southern States have peculiar inter
est President Taft was equally as plain
and emphatic. He takes a position SO
just on the race question that no news
paper has as yet had the temerity, even
If disposition, to assail it.
The President is also easily understood
as to where he stands on the tariff anC
currency questions. He is steadfast il
his adherence to the Republican policies
OF these questions as outlined in the
platform upon which he was elected, a.
wellas all other policies outlined in tha
platform.
From his inaugural address, no one
can fail TO comprehend what President
Tsft viii advocate; and his admirabl,
statement of his beliefs and intention.
have awakened public confidence.

Change the Date.
Baltimore American.

Agitation to change the date of the
Inauguration day has been thought Of
as stereotyped by many persons who
are now convinced that this is an issue
Of prime Importance. The character of
the weather for the inauguration of Mr..
Taft could not have been worse. A
blizzard of wet snow, deluge of slusb.
. pitiless drive of chilling, pene trating
wInd-weather at for the breeding of
ali kinds of pulmonary diseases-is not
the kind of weather for the Inaugural
tiOn\of the President Of the United
States. At least one President cen
tracted pneumonia under conditions less
distressing than those of yesterday and
died as an effect of the exposure. Mr..
Taft wisely delivered his inaugural IN
der cover.
While the argument for a change of
the inaugural date to September or
May, in behalf of the individual who is
the center of the occasion is ST., ny, the
reasons are by no means exhausted.
Thousands of persons yesterday were
made wet and miserable, scores may
have received the seeds of disease that
will lead 70 fatal end, certainly hun
dreds contracted colds. In addition to
the physical ills resulting from an inau-
guSation such as that of yesterday, keen
disappointment was experienced be-
cause of the marring of the program.
The railroads were blocked and train
loads of persons remained on the tracks
all night before and many who came
from across the continent did not get to
the city In time for such display as the
weather permitted. Those in Washing
ton were subjected to every conceivable
inconvenience, the state of the weather
made viewing the procession from the
stands perilous, and they were largely
deserted. No one could be in a good
temper with a soaking snow under foot
and more snow falling.
A hint of wisdom may be gathered
with regard to the change of the inau-
gural date, by the action of the Metho-
dists conferences of this locality; the
Methodist Episcopal and the Methodist
Protestant both changed their confer
ence dates to April from March, prefer
ring the possibilities of April showers to
the almost certain March blizzards.
Early Fall or late Spring would be ideal
for the magnificent occasion that at
tracts many thousands to the capital
city, and that should be q function IN
marred by such weather as March al
fords. 1t is therefore to be hoped that
the general condemnation of March in
augurals as result of this experience,
will lead to speedy change of the
date, even if thereby the time for the
meeting of Congress has also to be
changed.

Golfers Weekly.
The future of Mr.. Roosevelt concerns
e people whose friendship he has won.
Enemies he has, less conspicuous in
number than in place. No man alive
has done as much to spread and to en-
force, from Maine to California, the
conception of government as an agency
for conscience; conscience, that is to
say, not of the fanatic, but of the usual
ly sound majority. He has represented
the many, and encouraged their better
sides. That ne himself comes from an
environment of education and prosper
ity has given to his democratic faith
more of meaning and success, since his
appeal thereby gained the look, not of a
class struggle, but of universal princi-
pie. His democracy, on the whole,
seems to US to have been of peculiarly
valuable quality, since it has been some
what radical and yet at the bottom eau
tious. 1t has tended to make clear the
point that the democratic movement
properly asks only justice. 1t is not
L. DSucVlDR
the American people to be dociIe to ex-
perience, we have faith that, on mat
tiers in which Theodore Roosevelt has
been mistaken, he will be reversed,
while he is followed along paths where
he has been a judicious guide. Free ex-
preston leads to safety. In Mr.. Roose-
welt the general community has express
ed itself, thus progressing toward a
knowledge of what it permanently de-
sires; thus also losing the rancor which
is born when instincts of masses are
trampled by a few in power. Many
years of activity stretch ahead. They
should bring to Mr.. Roosevelt an undi-
minished interest. How, indeed, can
interest fade when it takes hold, with
such avidity, of so many sorts of heal
thy diet? Mr.. Roosevelt reads, travels,
writes; he cares for history, literature,
politics; he cares not only for the pres
ent, but also for the past; he loves open
air and study-lamp. Let fate do its
worst, life must yet taste good to him.
He takes away on his vacation the
thanks and the affection of nation.

ThEODORE ROOSEVELT.

The effort of his political enemies to
cause Theodore Roosevelt to leave the
Presidential office under a cloud proved
a failure. No man has ever retired
from the Presidency with larger share
of the confidence and affection of the
people than has Mr.. Roosevelt. Even
the opposition press has been forced,
by the manifest approval of an affec-
tionate public sentiment, to speak well
of the distinguished citizen they had
formerly so severely criticised. Per
haps this has been done reluctantly by
some of the newspapers, but they could
not do otherwise and retain the respect
of their readers.
The Administration of Mr.. Roosevelt
was at times stormy, but it has been
full of usefulness. Though proclaimed
by his foes dangerous man, he proved
himself the most effective advocate of
reform and peace that has ever pre-
sided over the destinies of this country.
And no man has ever vacated the White
House with more generous and cordial
farewell from his fellow citizens.
While all the people are pleased to have
Mr.. Taft in the White House, he will
not resent the statement that there are
many thousands who would have pre-
ferred to have Mr.. Roosevelt remain
for another term. AS it is, he has re-
tired with the plaudits and love of his
fellow-countrymen, and with the re-
spect and admiration of the civilized
world. That he made mistakes no one
will deny, but these have been so few
and so small when compared with his
great and good achievements that they
will not be remembered, except by the
iIl-natured foes who have made them
selves notorious by assaults upon one
whose shoe strings they were not
worthy TO unite.
The love and solicitude of the Ameri-
can people will follow citizen Roosevelt
in his dangerous undertaking in the ex-
pIoring of the wilde of Africa. May
no have safe and abundantly success
full tour of the Dark Continent, and be
once more restored to his people is our
