all of them are regarded as an indus trial people. The grass dance is of . relglous nature. The Indians think 1t calls the attention of the, gods fo the fact that the tribe desires. 7<s e5ooS season, WIth plenty of grass for ftefr horses In the old days the welfare of the buffalo was the central idea of this prayerfuI religious ceremony. for If there was not plenty of grass the :arge nerds Of bison would not come into this locality.

The Blackfoot is a frank simple being. yet he is unusually cum nlng when the occasion demands His sense or huHor is keen and of the nara, impressive kind. Some Of his customs are extremely conrfcaI. For example, a B ackfoot must never meet ms notheE-1n-Iaw.

COULD LOSES CONTROL OF ALL
 HIS RAILROADS
Hunting in England and Society ing" in America Alleged Reason For Passing of the GOuIdS in Railroad Life of America
Especial from United Press.)

New York, Jan. 5-That hunting lodges in England and social leader i ship in America do not conduce to business prosperity, is attested to to- day in a report of the business career of George J. Gould, who yesterday resigned as chairman of the board O. directors of the Denver & Rio Grande, to be succeeded bv P. T. Jeffery, pres ident of the road, who. in turn, was succeeded by Benjamin F. Bush.
 The result of the retirement of Gould and the placing of the management oI the road in other hands was a sharI rise in the price of all the Gould rail way stocks.
 When Jay Gould, master of finance, died, he left $so.0o0,O0O to be managed by his eldest son, George, who was intrusted with the carrying out. of his fathers dream of a trans-continentai railway under Gould control.
 by one, control of the vast properties his father left, until, at last, the Gould family has become neglible factor in the railroad world where once it reigned as master.
 As long as George Gould attended 10 his own business, after his father death, his business prospered, the Gould estate becoming worth $12O,OOO,- OOO But when, in 1902, George Gould entered the coal and iron deals, has troubles beg an- In 1903 he announced that the Gould trans-continental line would be in operation in IS months. Comprising the Denver & Rio Grande, the Missouri Pacific, the Wabash, the Western Mary and, and the Western Virginia Central and Pittsburgh, to- gether with a line he built from Og- den to the Pacific coast and called the Western Pacific.
 Getting into Pittsburgh was Gould's bitterest fight, but he won at fright full cost, for the B. & O., and the Pennsylvania thereupon "camped on his trail'', and never let up on him. Hartman, too, fought him at every turn because of his trans inc Enemies of Gould popped up everywhere. In 1905, Gould had his historic fight with Joseph Ramsey, Jr., for the presidency of the Wabash, and though he won, it was hollow victory. Out West he incurred the enmity of the railroad committees and they imposed every possible burden on his roads, In the panic of 1907 Gould's dream of a trans-continental line vanished. In less than a year the western Maryland, the Wheeling and Lake Erie and the Internationa and Great Northern were in the hands of receivers. Since then his proper ties have slipped, one by one, from his control.
 As GouId's social activities increas- ed, his business power decreased Only a few days ago he took a five year lease on the hunting acres Of Lady Menzies,. in England. HIS es- tate at Lakewood, N. J., has been the scene of great social activities. But his business power seems gone.

Making Farmers
 Out Of Indians
Band of Redskins to be at New
 York Show to Acquire Knowledge
Hartford GIobe.)

Having ootained moving pictures for posterity the last great grass dance of the Blackfeet Indians, whose res erVation of 500,000 acres in Northwest ern Minnesota will be thrown open TOT white settlers next SpIEng, arrange ments have been made to bring band of the redskins to the New York Land Show as a vehicle for a novel primer lesson in assimilation, looking to the civiliza ton of this tICbe. The expert ment has the sanction of the officials at Washington, and it's working out no doubt will be watched with keen in terest by President Taft and Secretary of the Interior Ffsher.
 The most intelligent Blackfeet braves that could be found upon the reserva- tion were brought to the Madison Square Garden exposition, November Before the land of the Blackfeet res erVation is opened to the white man each Indian is to be allotted a farm. The education which the picked rep resentafves of this fast passing race will derive from attending the greatest land show on earth is expected to nave great influence in simplifying the Unit ed States Governments process of as simiIating the other 5,997 Indians. These three red emlssa tes certalnIy Ls will have wonderful tales to tell Of New York and the land show exhibits when they return to the council tepee near Browning, Montana
 The native environment of the BI9ck feet tribe has gradually disappeate ed with the thinning out of their num- bers. Congress last year dealt a severe blow to them when it set aside a ter ritory larger than the State of Rhode Island and established Glacier Nation al Park adjoins the reservation on the west and this vast area was of course closed to the Indians as a hunting ground The area of Uncle sam newest national park abounds in big game of all kinds, but the BlacHeet Indians was left only to look at tkIs inviting section with tears in his eyes for the forest rangers patrol the dead line and keep the red man out.

Hill, son of James J. Hill. He obtained the United States Govern ment's approval to have the most promising progressfves of the Black feet tn:be selected to go to the New York Land Show. that they might see for themselves what agriculture really means What impressions the redInen will carry back to their prairie homes is a matter of much anticipat on to the son of the great railway bui der, who hit upon this avenue to civilization as a practical means in ''the white mans S, process of assimilation
 The last great grass dance of this picturesque people was a ceremony not soon to be forgotten by the few white people who were fortunate enough to be present. The weird ceremonies were participated in by 5000 redskins. Many of them are land wealthy and

Baldwin AbIeSt Democrat Named
 For President
This is the Conclusion of The New York Sun in Leading
 Editorial Today

In an editorial today, captioned, Two New England Democrats.'' ref erence being to the executives of Mas sachusetts and Connecticut, respec> lively Eugene Noble Foss and Simeon Eben Baldwin, the New York Sun concludes with this aIlusion to the distinguished governor of the Consti- tuition state:'
 ''Connecticut has in her Governor formerly her Chief Justice, SIMEON BEEN BALDWIN, a Democrat who in intellectual power probably far ex- ceeds any man as yet mentioned or dreamed of as the Democratic can didate in 1912: long experience in af- fairs, rugged strength, grasp of le- gal and constitutional principles, the old fashioned Yankee keenness and vigor of mind The State of ROGER SHERMAN and OLIVER ELLIS WORTH has in Governor BALDWIN a man to be proud of. Possibly he is too intelligent to be President

 Roosevelt declares emphaticaIIy that he does not question the temerity of the court which killed this and other laws and adds:
 q hold that, if a majority of the people, after due deliberation, decide to champion such social and economic reforms, they have right to see them enacted into law and become a part of our. settled governmental policy
 While he does not seek to appear as a champion of the laws thus killed. pie desired them as laws, they had right to have them. and that no court should have killed them.
 The contributing editor, in particu- lar, takes up the workmen's compen- sation law, killed as unconstitutionaI by the supreme court of New York and upheld Non identically the same grounds of constitutionality by the supreme court of the State Of Wash ington. This same law, he says, has been applied in nearly all the civiliz- New Zea land, by the transvaal and by the Dominion of Canada.

 Roosevelt's remedy is a pure refer endum.

 He slipped Some sherry fine, He met a good cd German friend,
 And tried brands from the Rhine, He called on old friend Houlihan,
 Who served him Irish hot. It was so good he didn't know
 The number that he got. He called on others whom he knew Had whisky mixed and plain; He cocktails had; gin fizzes, too;
 He also had champagne, He took whatever came along,
 Not once did he say Nay; He didn't want it al, but then
 Twas Happy New Years Day. He'd turkey, and some smoky ham, Mince pie and felt no ooubt; Took cheese and lots of other stuff As it was handed out, Happy Kew Year" said his friends; For you may it be bright It may be for him in a week, But 'twasn't so last night. Tom w. Jackson in N. Y. Press.
