CHEROKEES In CAROLINAS
ARE WON TO CITIZENSHIP

The Carlisle graduates and returned
students ore the leaders in the transi-
ton which is taking place among the
more than 1000 Cherokee Indians in
North Carolina, which is resulting in
rapidly severing these Indians from gov
ornment guardianship and winning them
20 independent citizenship according to
Supt. n. Friedman. Of the Carlisle In
dian School, who has just returned from
an extended visit to the Cherokee reser-
walton.
Mr. Friedman states that the right
kind Of Industrial education results u the
salvation of the Indian people, and that
when this has been given, us in the case
OF q number of Cherokees who have at
tended Carlisle, they are among Ameri-
cas- best workmen. He says the Indian
is not lazy, but he needs to be taught
how to work to the best advantage. His

far as this denotes idleness and leaning
on the government. may be said 70 have

By-JAMEs B. MORROW.

When he was sixteen years old, the
United States Senate entered into the in
tentions of William Edwin Chiffon. Now,
after seven and thirty contending years,
some ot them pinching years, he is here,
bringing with him the honorable odors
Of law books and the forests.
The ancient counselor at law wrote
deeds, wills, and mortgages, and spoke
passionately TO juries. The modern
lawyer is essentially a man of business.
His papers are prepared by clerks or as
sIstants. II he must address a court,
he squanders no time on unnecessary
language. Such a man never weeps to-
ward the dozen ffsh-eyed peers in the
box as he pictures the woes Of the de-
Iendant.
Coal oil, and logs have been Chilton's
specialties. He can figure a tract Of
timber into ready money. His partners
Rn6 himself have coaxed SIS, 900 from
Wall street and elsewhere into West Vir-
ginia. Mountains were for sale. They
found purchasers. Petroleum, sealed up
In the earth, broke through rocks and
weIled upward at their bidding. Coal
was dragged out of the hills and sent
away to enrich the nations commerce.
So Chiffon has been a builder. And
with it all a politician. The Senate
never became dormant in his ambition.
West Virginia was a Republican State,
still he remained a Democrat. Some day
another tide would roll in. But he did
act anchor his boat and wait. He man
aged and he worked. Thus he came to
the Senate.
An artiquated party pan in his main
principles, he finishes of his Democracy
with several fashionable modernities. He
can talk and think and act. Moreover,
he can maneUver. Nor would he be re-
luctant to take William ]. Bryan, Jud-
son harmon, and Woodrow Wilson into
separate corners and picturesquely point
out their tactical errors. Undoubtedly,
Chiffon is a present force in American
politics, as well as in the Senate. though
he only came to Washington last April.
Plain Man who RumpIes His Hair.
Externally, he is a stanch and ready
person-solid as granite. big-chinned, and
gray-eyed. He walks about as I inter
view him, or sits on the leather couch
IN his office with one foot doubled under
his body. He has a habit of rumpling
his hair, now turning gray, in the dis
quiet that denotes mental or physical
energy.
The actor. whether an orator or an
elecutionist does not confine his tricks
TO the stump or stage, but performs in
discriminatory, even to an audience of
one. and he an interviewer. Chiffon,
agile with speech, having the countenance
for rapid and changing expression, is as
plain as all sensible men ought to be. If
he picks his words he does so unnotice-
ably. Artifciality would be Knocked in
the mountains. Wood cutters and coal
diggers go straight to the core of every
thing.
Before the civil war the Chiltons were
q prosperous family. They lived in Ka-
hawha County, where they owned land
and slaves and dealt in general merchan-
disc. They bought country produce, and
also ginseng, which they dried with
steam and shipped to China. The father,

welt isHreared as having little respect for
constitutional restraints. II may we'll be
asked Swhat would happen were certain
men in control Of Congress and the White
House. No one can tell. The public
mind is perplexed, therefore, by many
serious and unanswered questions.
Cautious men shrink from the confusion
that will follow extreme radicalism. They
will take refuge, l think, in the Demo-
cratic party. in which unsettling doc
trines are no longer dominant and which
has stood in faithfulness to the Con-
stitution since the government was Or
ganized.
Whistle as we may while going
through the woods. the country has not
recovered from the panic Of 1901. Coal is
barometer Of trade. It is cheap and
hard to sell. Business men, employers
Of labor, are bothered with doubts. The
development, so enthusiastic and ener-
getic in 1906, is still held in suspense. In
truth, business. which is money, is walt
ing for agitation to cease and until the
country can catch up with the new legis-
lation and settle down to its work under

Mysterious Disease Originating in the GangeS
Delta Reaches Western Nations in Cycles
and WreakS Fearful Havoc.

Not a little impressive, almost spec
taculhr, is the way in which cholera,
spreading from its permanent head
quarters in the Ganges delta of India,
has repeatedly overspread the world,
like some pestilent Alexander. Within
the past century there have been six
of these great invasions, or pandemlcs,
each following the lines of travel, and
each successive one making good use
of our improvements in transportation.
We are now dealing with specimens
of the last OF the great movements
which have been under way since 1902.
The first pandemic, lasting from
1917 to 1923, made its first movement
from the Ganges to the south and east,
finally involving on that side both
China and the Philippines. On the
west and north 1t was spread over
land along the caravan routes to Per-
STA, Arabia, Syria, and into Egypt.
In the second pandemic, 1925 to 1897.
the infection was carried from Persia
and Turkey, where It had been brought
by pilgrims returning from Mecca, into
Europe, and thence to the American
continent, which It overspread, even
including Cuba.
The third pandemic, 1916 to 1853,
followed a period Of thirteen years dur
ing which the disease had almost dis
appeared. 1t repeated the history Of
the preceding invasion, involving both
Europe and America perhaps more
thoroughly than before.
In the fourth pandemic. which began
in 1853 and lasted until about 1875,
cholera made its first striking use Of
steamships and railroads. Pilgrims
from Arabia brought to the disease to
Egypt, From there, steamers sup
planted the old, slow method of dis
trlbution by caravans, and the disease
was rapidly distributed among the
Meditsrranean ports OF Europe, from
which it made its accustomed spread
with Greater rapIdfty than before.
sixth Invasion I'm 1909.
The nth pandemic took the usual
course, beginning in 1883 with the
spread of infection through Persia and
Arabia to Egypt. and from Egypt by
sea routes This inva[on reached
Japan two years later and spread over
the Philippines.I In Europe the course
Of the disease was exceptionally vio-
lent in the year 1S93-s4. The deaths
from It In Russia are estimated at
100000. There was terrific outbreak
In Hamburg IN 1892. with 1900 cases
and 500 deaths In population OF about
s00.0 This Hamburg outbreak
brought into activity the best medical
skin OF the time, and the work done
then. as viii be shown later. was de-

know to-day about the disease and Its
methods Of propagation.

One must go back to the medieval
days for the first reports of this ami

salamander was a small reptile a lover

frigid and moist nature, it was only

contact with a fire to extinquish il,
just as If its body were truly made Of
ice, while others hold that it lived and

EvntuaIly a scientist named Pliny,
more practical than his confreres, de-

fire, where the early victim Of scientific
research was Immediately consumed,
while the fire continued to burn. This
satisfied Pliny that both the theories
were unfounded, but he was unable to
convince the world at large, and so the
tradition obtained.

When asbestos was first discovered it
was thought to be salamander's wool
and was made into cloth and wearing

instead of water; a rather advanced and
sanitary process for that period. But
Browne loosened this theory somewhat

to the north along the caravan routes.
In 1904 IT followed the caravan
routes from Central Asia to Baku and
the, lower Volga region in Russia, and
during the next year spread over East
ern and Southern Russia and Poland
and was carried into East Prussia by
raftsmen on the Vistula. There was
no great spread of the disease in Ger
mapy, for the lesson OF the great Ham
burg disaster has been well learned.
Germany is constantly receiving fresh
infection from Russia, along the
rivers, but the vigilance of the German
sanitary powers is good defense. In
Italy, less efficient than Germany, the
story is different; II is from the Italian
reservoir that specimens are most
likely to be brought to this country.
Every pandemic starts from India, in
the Ganges delta, where cholera has
existed continually for several CEN
turtles. The only countries 1t has
not invaded are those. like Aus
tralia aud South Africa. whose traffic
with India is by long sea voyages.
The story OF the Hamburg outbreak
is the most interesting chapter in the
records of the disease. At the time
Koch discovered the cholera vibrio,
there existed a strong doctrine that
cholera outbreaks were determined by
the characteristics of certain localities,
and especially by the pollution of the
soil with sewage. Hamburg was the
first city on the continent. to have a
model sewerage system, and when the
great epidemic struck IT, its soil had
had five decades of protection such as
existed in no other city In the world.

all places where the doctrines of the
"localists" should have made good II
they were true. The test was made
the more decisive because in the newer
and higher parts OF the city no build
ing had been allowed until the sewer
age system had been fully completed
through those districts. When the epi-
demic came. however. the newer por-
tions OF the city suffered equally with
the older.
Koch Found Source.
Koch. turning to the water supply
of the city, discovered the source OF
the trouble In the city itself. The
sewage of Hamburg Is discharged into
the Eibe. and In 1892 the city's drink
ing water was drawn from the same
river. miles above the city. Ordinarily
the tides did not reach the point at
which the drinking water was taken.
but when the Fiver was low, some OF
the city sewage was carried up the
river far enough tc pollute the water
supply. Within the city. the occur
