FAMOUS SPEECH

Shawnee Council House


This time-honored building that
stands nearly in the center of our town
on the spot it has occupied for the
past hundred years for aught we
know-we understand is about to be
torn down. We regret this exceeding
ly. Many peculiar "reminiscences
cluster around this old block house,
and on that account mainly it has
stood unmolested by the hands of van
daI white men to the present time. In
this building the Shanees made their
FIRST treaty with the U. s. Government.
In 1t the great cheif, Blackhoof made
his famous speech after returning from
Washington, in which he told his
Assem- bled tribe all that could be told
of what he had seen. He told them of
ambOats, ships, great cities where
more white people lived than there
we're red men in the whole wilderness.
He told them about the machinery of
war used by the whites, and OF the
mighty results they could bring about
by its use. Finally, he told them the
pale faces we're more numerous than
the leaves of the forest that they were
very different from the red men, and
they could not live together, that the
whites were destined at no distant day
to occupy all this country, that 1t
would be of no avail to resist them,
that it would be far better for Indians
to cultivate peaceful relations, and
surrender themselves with as much
cheerfulness as possible, to manifest
destiny. This advice, we are informed
by those yet alive who knew the In
anr.f,t1Ivv fO11nruad UhfrfT
years ago, a treaty was concluded in
this old block house, by which the
whole Shanee people bound themselves
to forever the homes and graves of
their sires and go away beyond the
great Father of Waters, to work out
the destiny portrayed to them by their
great cheif; and that but short time
after, this whole region so long inhab-
tied, knew not one being who won the
"shadowed livery of the FURNISHED
SUM-" Few relics yet remain of this
aboriginal people, but this one-this
old council house-is one of promi-
nence, and we cannot see it demOlish-
ed without recording our protest
against it. May not the small spot of
ground it occupies, be purchased by
contribution from our citizens, and
may not the building be preserved at
least to the end of the present genera
ton? We shall see.

j. IL. Hamburger appeared In the
council chamber about this time To see
about an extension of the water lines
into Mercelina Park. He said that
when the new hotel and clubhouse,
now under construction, was finished, f,
and several smaller buildings now be-
ing erected were completed, the Realty
Company would have over 1926, 900 in
buildings on the ground, and as the
park was within the corporation, he
believed they should be- given proper
fire protection, The board immedi-
ately presented this matter to the dads,
and before leaving the council cham
ber asked that some definite action be
taken at once.
The cost of the entire work, which
will be near $4,000, was then placed In
the hands of the finance committee.
They were instructed to look into the
matter and see what could be done
relative to securing funds to DO the
work.
Council then adjourned until Thurs
day evening, when the matter will
again come up in the shape of reso-
luton to issue a certificate of indebted
ness for two or three months, or until
bonds in the required amount to com
plete the work can be sold.
Councilman Meyer in the meantime
spoke in behalf of the building com
mittee, and said that, as II would be
hardly possible to get figures on a
heating system for heating the City
Building, and get same installed be-
fore cold weather set in, the committee
believed the matter should go over un-
til next year and leave the janitor pack
wood again this winter to keep the 49,
cent gas from freezing up.

Another Raise in Gas

The ordinance fixing the price of gas
at 33 cents instead of 30 cents, was
read for the second time and laid over
until future meeting for the third
reading. Council ought to sit down on
the proposition and sit down on it good
and hard. The g.o.p. tariff is about
the limit and people of the town don't
feel like being squeezed a little more
by the gas monopoly simply because
"the foreigner" pays it all.

The Man on the Box.

This sterling melodrama will be at
Morris opera house Saturday April
9th. The play is in five acts and is
lnanly, quick in action, strong in plot.
and is alike humorous and pathetic.
There is in it the odor of new mown
hay and the flavor of country lanes.
Red blooded manhood walks upright
with it's homespun heart, and love
steals in at twilight as quiet as the
stiffness of the stars. The lesson
taught is GAS We SOW SO shall We reap, !"
and it settles upon one like a gentle
hand on the weary head and whispers,
soft as mothers kiss, 500 to sleep,
the morn will be bright" The cast is
Q strong one, each player being espe-
cially engaged for the part he or she
is to portray. The company carries
its own scenery, as well as several
speciality artists who will appear.

conception that county option forces any policy with
gard to the liquor traffic upon the people Without
summing favor to oppose the of the liquor

sWhatever may be the individual view to county
option it must be conceded that the people have right
to the question If the county doesn't like it after

Joel P. Heatwole died at his home in Mortified on
Tuesday In his death the lost useful citizen and
the newspaper fraternity lost of its most prominent
leaders. Mr. Heatwoe has been in public life for many
and had long and useful in congress- but be-
eve that his greatest work has been done since he has
been out of politics" and devoted himself to his
paper During the last half dozen years he has shown
what be done with country newspaper which is in
dependent of the politicians and has to grind He
put away personal ambition and built great newspaper
the principle that newspaper responsible to the
people and not to the politicians. Such principle does
not work in with pary solidarity for involves the OPP
posing any political friend when he is wrong and the
endorsement of right wherever found It also free
dom from mercenary considerations. Mr.. Heatwoe has
been both the leader and the product of this growing in
dependence, and leader has by his example raised
the standard of Minnesota journalism. The newspaper
which "pary organ" a factional organ is out
of date.
Mr. Heatwole's enemies ascribed his independence to
political disappointment, but his consistency gradually
undermined this criticism. Now his work stands out
more clearly, and all that it good. Himself
master of machine politics, he became its most eff
fecve enemy and lived to the system otering its
fall. No other could have done this work better
than he did.
