INDIAN SPEAKS

NIAGARA FALLS, December 3d.
His face turned toward the setting sun
that is, his god-Chief Oghema Mag
ara Tin English, Thunder Water this
afternoon spoke the last word that
probably will ever be heard here for
the pagan faith of the Indians at Table
Rock, on the Canadian side. He spoke
in protest after the christening of his
granddaughter, Princess Kaw-Paw-
Qua (Morning Beauty, daughter Of
Louis KeoBuk Palmer of Cleveland, o.
The child's christening took place in
the Cave of the Winds, under the
Horseshoe fall, where in 1866 Chief
Thunder Water was named by his par
ents, people of the Oscanbee tribe of
Kansas, while they were on their way
to pay visit to Indians near Mon
treal. The ceremony today was per
formed by Rev. c. S. G. Hares of ST.

HALEIWA FOR MINE.

Hundreds of persons went away for
the weekend and enjoyed themselves
and many more went to Haleiwa and
had a time that will occupy a place
among the pleasant events stored in
the memory with the events of 1911.
Good weather, a better dance and a
dinner such as is served back East
were among the featres of Saturday
and Sunday, and Monday follows with
"a "repast." AS a place for the week
end Haleiwa has won more advocates
and during the year 1912 it is to be
the choice Of persons who want good
times near at home. The climate is
pleasant and the beach the best in the
Islands The same is to be said of the
golf links Since the establishment of
the post at Leilehua the dances at
Haleiwa partake of service functions
and are the centers of fashionable
people,

ed the infant of IL months with spray
from the cataract
Afterward, by way of protest, Chief
Thunder Water, with handful of his
people about him, made an address for
the pagan faith. Standing at the west
ern sweep of the great fall, he said:
"The Christian says that the pagan
lis a fool l have lived pagan and I
shall die a pagan. l have seen the
Catholics warning against the Protest
ants, the Protestants warning among
themselves, and both warning against
the Jew. The Indians never warred
among themselves about religion. This
child is christened because she lives
under a Christian nation and will have
to obey Christian laws. But she shall
later be named pagan, and when she
| is old enough to decide for herself she
shall choose between Christ and Mani
tou."

/ Especial Correspondence of the Star
( WASHINGTON December 81. -
What the Senate will do, and when
/ it will do it," said Senator Brown of
Nebraska, speaking Of the pending arbi-
tration treaties with Great Britain and
France, depends on the ability of the
reactionaries of the country to defeat
the treaties and on the inclination of
the politicians of the Senate to talk
them to death 1t would not do on
the morning of the presidential cam
paign,' continued the Nebraska Sena-
tor, with a great deal of sarcasm, Ito
allow the treaties to be ratified with
out first advising the public at length,
and at public expense, why they
should &c rejected, or at least so ma
terially amended as to destroy their
real value as peace measures. Every
body understands that at such a time
at all hazards it is necessary to find
some fault with the treaties, in order
in some way to cast discredit on those
who are responsible for their negotia-
tons"
Senator Brown then discussed the
terms of the treaties, saying that
everyone knows that no nation ever
resorts to war, or ever will, over
question not of vital Importance or
over a question not involving national
honor.
IF the purpose is to avoid war be-
tween nations" said Senator Brown,
why exclude from the treaties the
only questions that ever provoke a
nation to war? It is good to know that
an enlightened press, supported by
every church in the land and by every
business of moderate dimensions in
the country, and by the great body Of
men and women in the ordinary walks
of life, who would suffer the most and
sacrifice the most in defending the
nation in time Of war, does not take
kindly to the notion that it is neces-
sary to have chip on the nations
shoulder in order to preserve the ma
tons honor"
Senator Brown recalls the fact that
the Senate was responsible for inaug-
urating a demand for arbitration
treaties by passing a resolution TWEEN
ty years ago, asking that all differ.
ences might be submitted to aribtra-
ton, Senator Brown instances this
as an honor to the Senate.
1T is to be sincerely hoped" said
he, that the present Senate will find
it consistent with its sense Of duty
not to take a backward step by in
sisting that exceptions shall be made
in the pending treaties"
Senator Brown says that he shall
take occasion to discuss the objec-
tioRs which have arisen regarding the
trespass on the rights and preroga-

.RAISE FOODSTUFFS NEAR CITIES
TO LOWER COST OF LIVING

WASHINGTON, December 26.-In
line with his policy to use the ma
chinery of the department of agricul.
ture to help lower the cost of living,
Secretary Wilson thinks the lands
near the large cities should be used
so that their markets for food stuffs
could be supplied with home grown
products. Only recently $4,000 tons
of potatoes reached New York from
Scotland for New York City con
sumption. within an hours ride OF
the Greater City there is enough un
cultivated land to produce many times
the amount of this cargo of potatoes,
if only properly cultivated"
This applies not only to the pc.
tato crop but to nearly all the truck.
ing crops. And, too, this situation
does not affect New York alone, but
every city and community from Maine
to Texas, and the west and middle
west, but indeed, almost the entire
country.
Washington is a fair example of
the argument. There are thousands
of acres of cheap lands in nearby
Maryland and Virginia that would sup
ply the Washington market with all
the potatoes, cabbage, and other truck
crops it would consume. Instead,
most of the supply of these farm
products is shipped from a distance
