The QUAKER AND THE INDIAN

THE QUAKER AND THE INDIAN
Every one is familiar with the old
saying to the effect that history re-
peats itself. Every one also knows
that it is not infallible. Exceptions to
| it are many. AS a rule they are de-
cidedly the more interesting. And one
such incident, which is having one of
it's parts played today, is, perhaps,
worthy of attention.
No fairer page in the early chron-
icles OF the American continent is to
be found than that which tells of the
labors of William Penn in the settle
ment of the territory which is glad to
now bear his name. Penn was a
Quaker by choice and is now revered
as one of the noblest of them all.
Among the people OF his tenets, broth
erly love was and is the great watch
word. That explains his successful
dealings with the Indians who swarm
ed in hordes around the colony he
established. They were far from being
civilized, but he had no trouble with
them. He entered into treaties which
were kept, the only treaties, as Vol
taire says, never sworn to and never
broken 1t is not difficult to find the
reason. Penn recognized the great
truth that the Indian had some rights
to a land which previously had been
all his own. There was no desire on
the part of the great Quaker to mon
opolize everything in sight and few
other things.
But what a different spectacle is to
be witnessed in a page of history
which is being written today and right
here in Kansas. A Quaker, mighty
for the time being with power, has his
sinews locked with those of an equally
powerful Indian in a life and death
struggle as to future political prefer
ment. Of brotherly love on the part
of old Bill PENIS descendant, of will
ingness to be friends on the part of
the Indian which was characteristic
of the Delawares, the Mingoes and the
Susquehannas of those days of long
ago, there is a painful absence. 1t is
war to the death and bitter are the
words which are being used for
weapons. There is no desire on either
side for a treaty of peace of any sort.
But why go on pointing out the
lack of analogy between the dealings
of the Quaker and the Indian of today
and those of their i1lustrious forebears?
Further comparisons might be odious,
or odorous, whichever it is. And there
is no need of tossing a little salt into
the wounds which have already been
made. But, perhaps, things are just
as well as they are. 1t would be pass
ing strange if there was anything like
peace and a fair division of the spoils
in a political contest in Kansas. No
blood is going to be spilled, so what's
the odds

GREAT WRITERS MISSING.

"And yet no country offers so great
an opportunity for brilliant social pic
tures,' says a contributor to the Bo-
hemian for October. I'VE have all the
elements, great cities, vast countries
rolled into one, immense wealth, dark
poverty, architecture, art and literary
silence. Our authors confine themselves
to magazine fiction. We have special
subjects dealt with in a special way.
One man or ten men write novels deal
ing with the divorce question. Another
man or ten men deal with the sad OPP
preston of the poor. A third man
writes an Indictment of the beef trust.
But what of it.? Here is this vast coun-
try, these great cities, and we do not
see our people On the printed page.
What about Fall River and the cotton
mills of the south? What about the
vast railroad yards and the railroad in
dustry? What about our rivers and
great lakes? Somehow in these little
pulling novels we don't see our people,
our wealth and our poverty, our joys
and our sorrows, our vast commercial
manufactures and the tireless unrest
of our hurrying civilization. We don't
see in them the real genius of the
American people and behind it the
qualities Of our soil and our climate
which are SO wonderful and so varied.
Great novels are great compediums of
the world as it exists genera1ly-not the
divorce question, or the liquor question,
or the negro question, or the mea-
question, but life. The great novelist
does not care about a problem half as
much as he does about life and indi-
vidual. The individual is the thing

LEMONS.

Apparently one of the choicest bits
of this fruit, according to a popular
colloquialism, has been handed to the
people of this country who are engaged
in the growing of the real thing. To
make matters worse it comes from their
old friends, the railroads. 1t is in the
nature of an increase in freight rates
of Is cents hundred pounds on this
particular brand of citrus fruit.
The lemon growing industry in this
country is a new one even if it has
attained considerable proportions. But
a big percentage of the lemons used in
America comes from other climes, from
Sicily and Whereabouts. So cheap is
the labor in these foreign lemon or
chards, so cheap is the ocean freight
rate on such commodities as compared
with the transcontinental freight rates
on the same things in this country,
that the lemon growers at home here
have to figure pretty close to place their
crops in the large markets of the land
or an equal footing with the imported
lemons. at least so they say.
In order to help the lemon
growers at home here-and most of
them are in California-the railroads
gave them a special rate on lemons
which was materially less than that
charged for other citrus fruits. So far
so good.
But the lemon growers wanted a lit
tie more. They went to congress with
a strong plea for the protection OF an

infant industry and asked for a high
tariff duty on imported lemons. In the
heat of the tariff controversy not muc Il
attention was paid to this demand on the
part of the public. and so it did not
fall on deaf congressional ears. The
lemon growers request for an increas-
ed duty from one cent to one and one
half cents a pound was made a part
of the downward revised tariff law,
even If this larger tariff charge would
have tendency to increase the price
of lemons to the consumer as the lemon
growers would reluctantly admit If
pressed on the subject. They would
explain though that increased retail
prices would only prevail until the time
arrived when enough lemons could be
grown in the United States to provide
for the home consumption entirely.
With this increased tariff to hold in
check their foreign competitors, with
the most favorable sort of freight rates,
everything was lovely on the outlook
of the lemon growers. But their old
friends, the railroads, have gone back
on them and boosted the freight rate
on their wares to the same figures
which prevail for all other citrus fruit.
Of course, the consumers have not
much interest IN this. Inc Increased
price of lemons will come along just
the same and would have been Just as
great because of the new tariff on lem
ons even if the railroads had not in

There ought to be considerable salts

lemon growers, with their monopolistic
are going to be compelled to
divide the ''swag'' which the new lemon
tariff has placed in their laps.
