fMARs GET INDIAN PICTURES
Organization of Theatrical Men For
tunate in Having d. F.. Barry for
Friend-Has Only Picture Taken
of Chief Gall Before He Became
Civilized-Hung In "MOnasery."

Superior, Wis, May 2O.-The "Ep-
istle" of April 20, published by the
New York organization Of theatrical
men known as 1.-THE Friars" has the
following to say about the recent
presentation of two framed Indian
photographs to the society by Su-
perior photographer:
ID. F. Barry, the famous photo
grapher of famous Indians, who
keeps in the limelight despite the
fact that he trie to live a modest and
retiring life in Superior, Wis, where
the breezes bf Lake Superior never
cease to blow, and who has many
warm friends among theatrical, cir
Gus and wild west agents as we'll as
members of the profession, has tend
cred to The Friars, handsomely
framed, copies of his almost priceless
photographs of Chief Gall, represent
ing the great leader of the Sioux in
the Custer fight, both before and
after he had yielded to the SOLDERING
enects of civilization.
Accompanying the gift was this
letter from Mr.. Barry: Kindly &C.
cept the two portraits of this noted
chief for your club, with the friend
ship and pleasant memories I have
for three of your members, Willard
D. Coxey, Major John M. Burke and
Wallace Munro
"The photo of Gall as a. hostile Is
the only one ever taken of him be-
fore his conversion and it is particu-
larry interesting because in getting it,
Barry, who was known to the Indians
as Observation-Disclosures nearly
lost his life"
"The photo was made Immediately
after the capture of Gall in the win
ter of 1880-81 by part of General

when placed before the camera
the chief refused to listen to suggest

down. Later he returned to the gall

finished was shown the plate which
declared to be bad Feeling that
something was in the wind the pho
tographer took the plate from the
chiefs hand and put it away, when
Gall started for the dark room to get
it., saying that he would destroy it
and come again. Realizing that his
work was about to go for nothing,
the photographer pushed the Indian
to one side from the door. Furious,
quick as a flash Gall drew an ugly
knife and almost as quickly he found
himself covered by a revolver which
had laid on handy shelf. Pausing
for a few moments in indecision, 'ap-
parently attempting to fathom the
determination of the holder of the
weapon, the chief backed slowly out
of the place and the picture was thus
saved" ..r.,

The, American Flag is a publica-
ton which has been received by the
Tribune, to be issued regularly and
devoted to the restoration of the
American merchant marine. It is one
of our national humiliations that the
commerce flag of the United States
has all but disappeared from the seas
our comerce being carried largely in
foreign bottoms. To overcome this,
the American Flag will seek to COM
bat the arguments raised against
federal aid toward the restoration OF
the merchant marine, as its publish
ers say:
:: 'sThe Merchant Marine League of
the United States, with headquarters
at Cleveland, Ohio, composed OF
large number of the principal man
facturers, jobbers and public-spirited
business men of the country, who are
pledged to the UNFOLDING of the
American foreign merchant marine,
takes pleasure in submitting to the
t4aoughtful people "The American
Flag an exponent of the objects OF
the League and devoted to national
prosperity and progress. The
American Flag" will be issued twice
a month and will endeavor in a plain
and straightforward way briefly to
meet any objections that may be OF
fered against federal legislation In
aid of our ocean going marine and
to give the latest news in connection
with the movement. The Merchant
Marine League is the expression OF q
popular demand for the extension OF
our foreign commerce. It Is sup
ported by the contributions OF its
members who from business and
patriotic standpoint deplore the dis
appearance of the ocean-going Amer
lean ship with the immense accomp-
anying financial loss that Is being
borne by the whole people. Real1z-

The Fargo News thinks the farm
ers of the state want a general re-
duction of the tariff and that they
would be entirely satisfied with
general reduction Of the tariffs on
wheat, barley, live stock and other
agricultural products, IL there were
general reduction all along the line
of the tariff. We do not profess to
known the sentiment of the farmers
of this state az whole class, upon
the matter of agricultural product
tariffs, but we gather from the storm
that went up when the rates on bar
ley were substantially lowered In
tentative bill that there was not much
sentiment on the part of the produc-
ers for lower tariff. Tariff is the last
rallying cry Of the democratic party
and it Is not strange that the News
should seek to place the democratic
policy in the best possible light. But
even the democrats are divided on
the question Of the tariff. When 1t
comes to products in which demo
cratic states are interested, we find
democrats laboring for protective
tariffs. This whole matter Of the

proposition, and political only as it
requires Legislation to regulate the

REPRESENTATIVE SOUTHERN MAN
Critics Of Secretary Dickinson Re-
scented by Southern Editor,

Charleston News and Courier (dem)
Colonel Bryan's Reputation" Of Secre-
tary Dickinson as " a representative OF the
South and OF the southern democracy" is
equivalent to a declaration that the presI-
dent has not appointed to his cabinet a
Bryan democrat and would use his posi-
ton to strengthen the Bryan policies az
there be any Bryan policiesD, and to un-
dermine his chief. Colonel Bryan Is per-
haps the only man in the country who
imagines that the president claims to have
given the Bryan democracy cabinet repre-
sentatlon.
That a man who believes IN the essen
tials Of the democratic ~reed-stric con-
struction Of the constitution. economy and
simplicity in governmental administration,
Jealous regard for the rights OF the sepa-
rate states. opposition to federal contraliza-
ton and the lowest degree of legislative
limitation OF the rights reserved to the in
dividual-may accept office under a repub-
lican president and perform his duties eff
ficiently without changing his views. Is
easily thinkable, and II would involve no
compromise of sincerity. II would entail a
refraining from activity as a democratic
partisan and no one supposes that Score
tary Dickinson expects 70 be regarded as a
democratic Organization" man, at lea st
for the present. The difference between
Secretary Dickinson and many other south
ern men who are wholly out OF sympathy
with the sort OF democracy that Mr.. BRYAN
stands for. is that the latter for the sake
Of party expediency and regularity hold
some OF their principles in allegiance. and
Secretary Dickinson does not. In other
words, there are tens OF thousands Of
southern democrats who voted for Mr..
Bryan last year. and who do not regret II.
whose views Of public policy are probably
similar to those Of Secretary Dickinson. II
allegiance and submission to the organiza-
ton be the test Of democracy. Mr.. Dickin-
son is certainly not a democrat, If belief in
the political code of Jefferson be the test
il is likely that he is incompsrsbly a bet
ter democrat than is Mr.. Bryan. y
To say that Secretary Dickinson is not
"a representative southern man. Is, Of
course, nonsense. BcFn in the south, OF
southern ancestry, and educated In the
south, he has spent most OF his life in a
southern city. which he has always claimed
as mis- home. Whatever his political views,
the whole south has pride in his achieve
ment and confidence I'm the affection for
the south which he processes. On questions
Of nearest sectional interest, the south
would better trust him than Mr.. Bryan.
In the cabinet OF a republican president,
TO more admirable southern representation
could have been asked,
