We believe that every man ought to
have a good time but the trouble is
that mems ideas of what constitute a
good time are SO varied. One man can
have good time by sitting down and
reading good book, another by listen
ing to good music and another by
visiting with friends. Some men have
no idea of good time other than to
get drunk and fight, others want to
gamble and still others must beat their
wives in order to be happy. 1t doesn't
make much difference what your par
ticular form Of a good time is, you
ought to be allowed to indulge In 1t
unless 1t takes the form of an injury

WHERE WE STAND.

We want the readers OF the Du.
range Evening Herald. ard the Semi.
Weekly edition of that paper, to know
Just exactly where we stand on the
questions now before the public re-
garding the proposition of law and
order.
The Herald is going to be always
found on the side of public and private
decency, on the side OF morality and
respect for the law and established
rules OF society.
We have no fight to make on the
clean and well conducted, orderly sa-
loon, under the laws of the state the
saloon business is just as legal and
Legitimate q business as the selling
of groceries or hardware, and the Ii.
quor dealer who runs respectable
establishment is just as much entitled
to the protection of the law as though
he sold dry goods or threshing ma
chimes. the saloonist who runs q de-
cent, orderly place is just as much in
favor of good government as we are,
he will maintain order In his place
from self interest II for no other rea
son. No disreputables will be allowed
to loaf around his place for he does
not cater to that class OF trade and
does not desire that kind of company.
he will respect the law, not violate it,
On the other hand consider the eff
feet on the morals of the town OF the
operation of the low dive, the resort
OF the bug and thug element OF local
society, where cheap and vile liquor is
sold to still more vile persons. No re-
spect for law or for society can be
found there for the reason that the
patrons OF such place have no re-
spect for themselves. where crime Is
planned and murder inspired by the
poisons served out to the wretched fire.
quenters of the place.
We have no use for outlaws, their
haunts or their friends. These places
are known by their fruits and self
respecting community should immedl-
ately put a Quietus on every dive as
quickly as the fruits OF outlawry and
vice are apparent.
The places should be closed, and
kept closed, by the police. The hang
ers-on at these resorts should be made
to move on and out of the community,
for their very presence in the city is
u menace and to tolerate them is to
invite crime.
There is, SO far as we know, no
nationality which has monopoly OF
criminals. Thugs are to be found
among all races. 1t is not the race, or
the nationality, which is criminal, 1t
Is the individual. The allowing of the
operation of joint where buns and
criminals congregate is in and of It
self a crime for 1t breeds crime and
fosters outlawry.
The Herald is against crime and out.
lawry and hence it is of a necessity
against the places where crime and
outlawry are incubated, II a saloon be
comes the rendezvous of the criminal
class then that Is the saloon which is
dangerous to the community and which
should be closed by the authorities.
These are our sentiments on the sa
loon question and We hope that we
have made them plain enough that
anyone will know Just where we stand
that the law abiding class is with us
we know and we care nothing for the
patronage and approval OF the other
classes.

THE SOUL OF THE INDIAN"

Charles Alexander Eastman, an In
dian educated according to the white
mans standards, has been writing
book which he calls The Soul of the
Indian" In it he declares that the
Indian when yet savage, had a deep
er and truer religion and more rev.
erent conception OF the Great Mys-
terry than any which the white mis-
sionary had to give him, and was
better man, living truer to the soul of
nature, cleaner and more honorable,
than he has lived since the white
man dubbed him heather and be-
gan forcing his own religion upon him.
And the odd part OF it is that a great |
many white thinkers are beginning |
to adopt the same idea and to admit |
as much.
Proselyting races imbued with the |
thought that the divine obligation has
been laid upon them to spread their |
own religion to all the races of men.
have ever been slow to admit that
such thing as heather in the usual
acceptance of the term does not exist
and never has existed. Since the be
ginng of time every man has stood
in awe at the mystery of life, of ere
alton, and each has asked in turn as
he came and went across the face OF
BILE questions, guessed much the same
conclusions and held to much the
same ideas concerning the great
scheme of things. There is a remark
ably close relationship to the genesis
of every people. They all hint at evo
luton. and are cognizant of stages in
the progression from dead world to
thinking man.
The Indian Eastman says: Long
before l ever heard Of Christ, or saw a
white man, had learned from an un
tutored woman the essence of moral
ity. With the help of dear nature
herself, she taught me things simple
but of mighty import. l knew God. II
perceived what goodness is. l saw
and loved what is really beautiful.
Civilization has not taught me any
thing BETTER" Again he says: THE
original attitude of the American In
dian toward the Eternal, the Great
Mystery was as simple as 1t was eY-
allied. To him it was the supreme
conception, bringing with it the full
est measure of Joy and satisfaction
possible in this life The worship OF
the Great Mystery was solitary, 81
lent, because all speech is of necessity
feeble and imperfect; therefore the
souls of my ancestors ascended to God
In wordless alteration" Further he ex.
plains the soul of the Indian by say.
ing: IF you ask him: What is ST. |
lence?' he will answer: 1T is the
Great Mystery!' The holy silence is |
His voice.' If you ask: What are the |
fruits of silence?' he will say: They |
are self-control, true courage of en-.
durance. patience. dignity. and rever-
ence. Silence is the cornerstone OF |
character!"
The truth of 1t all appears to be
that the white man SO long ago shut
himself up behind doors he has lost
much which he might to his better prof |
it have retained. and that once he |
encountered the Indian. who had not |
yet learned to close the door upon |
his mother nature, instead of setting \
at once to forcing his own distorted |
Ideas upon him. the white man might |
well had thought first to sit at the |
feet of the red man and inquire what
true ideals he had preserved.-Dea-
