THE MOQUI INDIAN
 SNAKE DANCE
Continued from page 2

Continued from page 2
 After circling the court with the snake or snakes in his mouth, the priest drops the reptiles on the ground, where they coil and hiss until the attendant comes along with his feather to start the snake into gliding away, so it could be grasped without fear of the conse- quences.
 It is practically impossible for a person, on the first visit, to de- scribe the costumes worn by these dancers, or to grasp the signifi- canoe of the array of feathers, skins and decorations, which go to make up for the absence of clothing on their painted bodies. In the ranks of the dancers may be seen youths scarcely into their teens alongside of gray-haired, but generally upright, Indians. It is easily noted, however, that only the harmless snakes are en- trusted to the younger members, who seem to take great pride in following in the footsteps, as we'll as carrying out the traditions, of their ancestors.
 The step of the dancer is far different from that practiced by any other tribe of Indians in their dances, and there is no particular way to describe it, other than the statement that their constant effort seems to be to notify the dwellers of the lower regions of their actions.
 There doubtless are many leg ends to account for this snake dance, but one which is highly probable was told to the writer by a Moqui, who is deeply interested in the cermony. It is said that many, many years ago-and, by the way, the Moqui gives evidence of being one of the oldest inhabi- tants" of this continent-one of the younger men of the tribe, in a spirit of adventure, left his people and went into other lands to see for himself what there was in the world. He finally reached a strange region, peopled by an attractive tribe, conversing in an unknown tongue. Here he re- mained for some time, and finally won the hand of the beautiful daughter of the chief in marriage. After time the pair wandered back to the native land of the husband, and when his father, who was one of the chieftains of the tribe, learned what the son had done, he disowned him and pro- nounced upon him curse, the other members of the tribe uniting to drive the pair from the land, especially after the birth to the latter of children which were found to be in form of snakes. This treatment of his daughter did not please the chieftain. of the lower world-for such was the place reached by the wandering son in his travels-and he invoked the powers of darkness to punish the insult to his offspring and her children. As a result plaques, famine and drought came upon the land of the Moquis, and finally in despair and hunger they sent for

Says the Kansas City Journal: The
American people do not want any
change that would mean less emplay-
ment for the workingmen. less de-
mand for the products OF the farm
and general industrial stagnation.

as term Of derision by the progress
sives and democrats, but 1t Is the
|soundest of advice. There Is nothing
the matter with the American people
now. They are the most prosperous
in the world. Under the republican
tariff they have been secure In their
employment. Why change to closed
factories and charity soup houses?
Why crowd the cities with men clam
oring for work that cannot be had ?
These things are the real issues Of the

among the people to continue republi.

VIII CON A FREE TRADER.

Albert J. Bevertdge, the thlrd term
party candidate for governor Of 1ndi-
ana. in a speech in Detroit recently
said:
seWoodrow Wilson is free trader
He is a more dangerous free trader
than Grover Cleveland was because
Mr.. Wilson is a book free trader
without a business experience; free
trader whose free trade ideas are still
the exploded ones of generation
ago. And the democratic platform
on which Mr.. Wilson stands is a ia
natically free trade platform which
says that any protection whatever is
unconstitutional"
A vote for Woodrow Wilson is a
vote for free trade, which, Mr.. Bev-
eridge asserted in his speech, would
ruin the country. But that is not all.
It must be emitted that Roosevelt

HEARST AND WILSON.

Publisher Hearst and Candidate
Wilson are not in accord on the tarih
question. A signed interview given
out by Hearst recently said:
IF we have had such splendtdly
prosperous business conditions at
home it would not be well or wise to
alter too rapidly or too radically the
system under which these splendidly
prosperous business conditions have
been developed. furthermore, we can
not secure the markets of foreign ma
lions merely by reducing our own tar
iff wall. We must reduce the tariff
wall of foreign nations. y.
"By, demolishing our own tarih
fence we may get out OF our own
pasture, but we cannot get into the
pasture of foreign nations until we
have demolished their tariff fences.
"If we sacrifice our protective pol.
icy we sacrifice our one opportunity
to lower the tariff bars of foreign
countries. It is only by reciprocity
that the tariff bars of foreign coun-
tries can be lowered.
"If we maintain our protective
fence we can say to foreign countries,
we will lower our bars to your pro-
ducts if you will lower your bars to
our products But If we have no
tariff fences we can make no such
beneficial bargain.
"Mr. Wilson'S dogmatic and didac.
tic declarations have all the positive.
ness of the pedagogue who has the.
cries an everything and experience
in nothing. His is the customary at
titude of the college professor who
knows everything, having read 1t in
books, where it was written down by
other college professors with equally
infallible knowledge based on equally
, universal inexperience.
1T is an interesting thing to see a
college professor lecturing practical
business men on the practical prob
lens of business from the musty
rooms of one of the colleges which

MILF M,coRD FOR CONGRESS.


The Des Moines Capital says 1t is
not necessary to pick Milt McCord's
pockets to find out his opinion. The
Des Moines newspaper refers to the
republican candidate for congress in
the sixth district in the following
editorial:
"They are discovering in the sixth
district that old Milt McCord is run
ming for congress with the intention OF
being elected. , ..m
"Milt McCord is fighting man
wherever you put him. He carried q
musket in 1861.
at is not necessary to search him
or pick his pockets to find out his
opinion. --
Some people are finding fault with
Milt because he Is not lawyer. In a
great degree the people think the
leading offices should always be held
by lawyers. .'.- g..
"Milt McCord is not lawyer. But
if the sixth district sends him to con
gress, they will have a congressman
of full size on the first day, He will
have opinions and he will not, be afraid
to assert them. He will not be a
weather vane.
1T will be great relief to know
that the time has arrived when honest
men like Milt McCord who tell the
truth and fear nobody can be elected to
congress. He is common man, there
fore is the common mans friend. He
is a practical man, and such men are
needed in congress. He is business
man. There are not enough business
men in congress to move to adjourn.
"Milt McCord should be elected

TAFr,s GROWING STRENGTH.

Kansas city Journal No one with
the power Of intelligent observation
can fail to note the strong undercur-
rent Of sentiment in favor OF the re-
publican candidate for president. This
movement ID not detected In the
harangues Of the street corner ora
tor. the street car politician or the
straw vote" specialist. But 1t Is man
fest among thoughtful people who
feel a sense Of responsibility in the
exercise OF the elective franchise
Thinking men are not as rule the
noisy men. The thinking workingman
Ia the man with job who consults
his own best interests IN politics
without reference to the sociallst OF
the agitator The thinking mechanic
or business man brings his own intel
ligence to bear on the problems OF
the day without being influenced by
the clatter Of those who want q
change" every chance they get.
The thoughtful man knows that In
the event of Wilson's election there
viii be tariff revolution. Wilson has
been outspoken in favor Of virtual
free trade. The day after the election,
|ff Wilson is successful, the mills, FAC
tories and great Industrial institutions
OF the country will begin program
OF curtailment. They will retrench on
their output and on their expenses
until they find out exactly what tar
III changes are to be made under a
democratic administration. And as
these changes cannot be made for
months, the era of restricted indus
trial operations will be prolonged In
definitely. This would mean that mil
lions OF men would be thrown out OF
employment, that bank reserves
would be reduced by withdrawn de-
posits and that all business would be
affected. The chief asset Of the repub-
llican party is that in the sixteen con-
secutive years of it's rule prosperity
has steadily misunderstanding al
lowance for Mr.. Roosevelts panic IN
1907. It Is idle for the opponents or
republicanism to attribute this uni
form prosperity to good crops and
natural conditions. Even good crops
are OF no advantage to the farmer
without good prices, and good prices
are dependent upon home consump-
ton under tariff policy that gives
employment and wages to American
workingmen.
The American people do not want
any change that would mean less EN-.
ployment for the workingmen, less
demand for the products Of the farm
and general industrial stagnation.
"Let we'll enough alone" has been
used as a term of derision by the
progressives and democrats, but 1t
Is the soundest of advice. There is
nothing the matter with the Ameri-
can people now. They are the most
nrosperous in the world. Under the
republican tariff they have been Sc
cure in their employment. Why
change to closed factories and char
cities with men clamoring for work
that could not be had? These things
are the real issues OF the present
campaign and they underlie the
steady and serious movement among
the people to continue republican
