Although 'No-rim-cut' tires have

Aborigines and savages.
From the Chicago Tribune.

Frcrn the Chicago Tribune.
The very meekness OF the native tribes
in South America and in the West Indies
seems 10 have provoked whatever foreign
masters they have had to brutality and
astonishing cruelties. The report which
Sir Roger Easement, consul general at
Rio de Janeiro. makes of atrocities in
the Peruvian rubber district only adds a
chapter TO a story which began when the
natives first came in contact with the
whites.
The docility. kindness, courtesy, and
elemental virtues Of these peaceful peo-
pie, the very attributes which might have
softened cruel invader. seem always to
have iniamed the stronger men who took
control of them. From Las Casas in 1912
to Easement in 1872 the sufferings of the
natives have had their sympathetic
chroniclers. but seemingly only tempo
rary abatement.
In spite OF humane Spanish laws the
wretched people were exterminated by
greed and by wanton cruelty in many
islands and on sections Of the mainland,
and now. 100 years later. they not only
are sacrificed by task masters but con-
tinue to arouse every savage instinct
in the men over them. For character and
habits they have merited every consider
alton. and experienced only terrible
