SECOND PRIZE, NORMAN KENNEDY
 In the central part of that territory, which is now New York State, there dwelt but few centuries ago, numer- ous tribes of Indians,-tndians of q bold and daring nature, ever prepared for war or peace. They lived, as all Indians dc, depending wholly upon Nature for support and protection. During the cold weather, they dressed in the skins of animals, made into suits similar to those Of the present day. Their houses or lodges were made of skins or bark placed over a frame work of wood. These lodges were quite capaeious, so that several of them made up good-sized village. This people woFshipped the Sun, Moon,

the Susquehonna River, west of Alba ny. He carried on this worK until I756. Johnson also built church for the Cansjoharie Indians and support ed religious teachers at his own ex- pense.
 During the French Wars the Mo hawks remained friends and allies of the English, and most of the time the Oneidas and iTuscaroras were also friends, but the Cayugas, Onandagas, and especially the Senecas, remained for the most part neutral or friendly to the French.
 Upon the fall of the French domin- ion, the Indian lost his place as a po- liliea factor and was suddenly ire- dueed to an ally, with the strong pos sibility of soon becoming vassal and then a cipher.
 Of the Six Nations, the Seneeas were the most wayward, and during Pon- tiacis conspiracy half of their warriors were on the war path with the Della wares and Shawanese; against these Johnson sent out many war parties ,se- lecting bis men from the most loyal of the Iroquois. Most of these parties were successful and many bands of the Senecas and Delawares were defeated and prisoners were taken to New York where some were put in jails and oth- CTS were adopted into the Iroquois con- federacy. Finally the Senecas were frightened and made peace.
 In l76S the Six Nations and other tribes bartered away for 10000 pounds in money, rum, and wampum, what is now Kentucky, West Virginia, and N estern Pennsylvania, and moved out of eastern New York.
 In l769 forty families from Connecti- cut settled in the Wyoming Valley the country of the Senecas, an invasion which was bitterly resented by them.
 In the Revolution, the Mohawks be- cause of the friendship of Joseph Brant and the Johnsons, took sides with the English. The Cayugas and Senecas followed their example, sbut the Onondagas remained neutral, while the Oneidas and Tusearoras showed active sympathy with the Americans.
 The last council lire at ohondaga WAS eXtinguished on the 18th of Jann- ary, l745, and the oldest confederation in the world ended. Early i'll July, ITS, force of l9O0 Tories and Mo hawks under John Butler spread death and desolation through the Wyoming Valley in Pennsylvania. .On the 10th of November, Brant and Walter But Ter destroyed the village of Cherry Val ley in New York. As punishment, Washington sent General Sullivan, in the spring of l779, with 5000 men 10 lay waste the lroquois country. On the 29th of August, he defested them and their Tory allies in a fierce battle at El- mira, New York. Then he complete ly devastated the country of the Cayu- gas and Seneeas and utterly destroyed the power of the "Long House.

Remarkable Claim Made by Henry 7.
Jones Who is on sooo-MiIe
Lecture
Tour.
IoWA's GREAT WEALTH
silas Hood Says Productive Power OF
the State is Great Enough to
Feed 200 Times the
Population.

Henry T. Jones, of Milwaukee,
made the remarkable statement to a
representative of The Gate City last
night that every banker and business
man in Keokuk should be socialist.
Mr.. Jones is recognized as an au-
thority on sociological subjects; is
the author of many books on the sub
ject of political economy. and at the
present time is on 9,000-mile lecture
tour, He is better known under his
pen name of Silas Hood
1T is an error TO believe that So
cialism is the philosophy of the rich
alone" said Mr. Jones. There is ev-
cry reason why bankers and wealthy
business men should be socialists and
il they would study the problem they
could be convinced of the truth of
this position. Why even Rockefeller
should be socialist.
And we have bankers and million
ty of the Omemee National bank of
Omemee \. D., is a radical socialist
So is President Lofthus, of the Klo-
ten state bank of Kloten, n. D. These
bankers charge II per cent interest
and when their former customers COM
plain the bankers say they cannot
practice what they preach as the 9th
er fellow will not let them.
Rufus Meeks. vice president of
the Equitable Life Assurance Society
of New York, millionaire, whose
salary is $4,000 year, is a radical
socialist. And If Millionaire Meeks
didn't know in advance that he
would enjoy as many material bene-
fits under socialism as he is enjoying
now he would not be socialist"
Mr. Jones says he has been in many
counties in Iowa and he is convinced
that the productive power of the
farms are capable of producing prod
ucts sufficient for 200 times the
states population.
Mr.. Jones left Milwaukee October ]
on his present lecture tour He will
not go home until March 10. He
speaks in Keokuk this afternoon at
the Orpheum theatre.
