Patriotic Indian Rejects Governments
Samples and Buys One to Suit

On the Navajo reservation great ef-
forts were made years ago to induce
the Indians to abandon their custom
Of leaving. the bodies of their dead
above ground, and to adopt the white
peoples system of burial. One In

and arrangements were made by
which the government should supply
neat headstones. A stock Of them
was laid in, and no sooner had they
arrived when a tall Navajo appeared.

The agent was puzzled by this
What the deuce could !, the Indian
mean by United States headstone?
Every effort to ascertain just what
was in his mind met with the In
variable reply: Want United States
headstone." $50.
AT last, fearing that the red mans
disappointment might result unfavor-
ably to the scheme for introducing up
to-date burial methods, the agent gave
some money to the Indian, bidding
him to go and buy the kind Of grave
stone he liked.
Some times later party Of hunters
came to the agency. They had been

However" said Mary, going farther
into the future, sthe process isn't

pletely acquired. Children! We want
them! We must have them! Yet how
often they tie us to unions which have

completely free till, besides being able
to earn their bread when they are
not bearing children, they are relieved
of dependence on the individual char

they are. Mr. G. H. Wells is clear

children they perform a service to

No man ever accepted a nomina-

adds
you are also aware that this state
of affairs was brought on by the

you are aware these can only exist in
this country through the legislation

nors of stat IS. Every man sent to

money they get from the trusts is
much greater than the salaries they
earn, and the people would be much
better off If they had no representa-.
tive at all. What have you ever done
for the great mass of people? Do you
ever think of the good you could do
for the people If you would legislate
for them instead of for the trusts and

The letter concludes as follows:
