Tricky and cruel, the Apaches held
out for many years against the In
roads of the whites upon their ancient
hunting grounds. Such leaders as
Cochise, Geronimo and Natchez led the
Apaches against famous American
generals like Nelson A. Miles and
George Crook reward of $4,000
was once offered for Apache Kid, but
was never claimed
Up to 1874 the Indians terrorized
large sections Of the territory and
kept out immigration and capital IN
that year all the Apaches that could
be rounded up were placed on the
San Carlos reservation. 1t was sup
posed that an end had been put to
the Indian troubles, but raids in 1882
and 1883 shook the feeling of security.
In the year 1888 there were $4,000
Indians in the territory occupying
lands reserved for them by the gen.
eral government. The government
was supporting about five thousand of
them.
In 1882 the Chiricahua, White
Mountain and San Carlos Apaches
broke out in open rebellion. On the
morning of April 10 Loco's band
broke out at San Carlos and after
killing the chief of police started up
the valley Of the ella, killing at least
sixty white settlers.
Then for six years Arizona was the
scene of a merciless Indian war. In
1883 Geronimo became chief of the
Apaches. He massacred settlers and
burned ranches almost at will. After
each raid he would escape to the
mountain Businesses OF Mexico where
the United States soldiers could not
pursue him. Finally permission was
secured from Mexico for soldiers to
cross the frontier in pursuit of the In
dams. In 1888 Captain Lawton. serv-
ing under Gen. Nelson A. Miles. sur
rounded Geronimo's warriors and
made them prisoners. The whole tribe
was taken to Florida and later trans
ferred to Fort Sill, Okla, as prisoners
of war
There Geronimo remained until his
death. three or four years ago, and
the remainder Of his band Is still
there. All desire to return toSArizona
and it is possible that sometime the
government may see fit to grant them
their wish Today they are as peace
full and placid as any Indians, having
seen the folly Of resisting the whites.
OF course there were bad men and
gun men in Arizona In her early days.
Stage and train robberies were by no
means uncommon and excited only
passing comment. Finally train rob-
berries became so frequent that In
1889 the penalty for that crime was
fixed at death In the same year the
legislature passed a law providing a
fine of $25 for any one carrying SON
! cealed weapons.
It was not until after the penalty
for train robbing had been fixed at
death that Arizona became really
peaceful Now there Is no train rob-
bling any more, and as the day Of the
stage coach is practically passed the
stage robber is extinct.
Until 1907 everything was wide
open In Arizona. Gambling was unre-
strained and, except where municipal
laws prevented. women and minors
were allowed In saloons. In that year
the legislature responded to An urgent
message from Governor Kibbey and
to pronounced public sentiment and
passed a rigid anti-gambling law that
closed such games.

conventions is instructive II the two
thirds rule had been in force at Chicago
both Mr.. Taft and Roosevelt would have
realized the futility OF the nomination of

If bare majority could have nominated

been selected early in the balloting. the
party would have gone before the country
with the suspicion of an alliance with
Wall Street attaching to 1t. Mr.. Bryan
would probably have been forced TO bolt
and there would have been just as great
confusion in the Democratic camp as there
now is in the Republican camp. The two
thirds rule. however, prevented hasty
or ill-considered action, gave the nomina-
ton to Woodrow Wilson, by a vote which
was practically upanimous and was final

the party to take the field with its forces

pitfalls of the Grenfell Mission there is

much practical use, as they seem ready

Co-relating Common Plans.

The Federal Council Of Churches, Of
ficially representing thirty-two religious
bodies. reports itself in correspondence
with more than. a thousand main and
auxiliary cities lately affected by the
Men and Religion Forward campaign in
an effort toward aggressive and common
Christian effort. 1t states that this cam
paign put upon 1t a new and large bur-
den Of harvesting results. To this end
1t is formulating plans, and appealing to
the churches for larger support TO put
them into operation.
The council will hold its quadrennial
meeting at Chicago next December. and
by that time It hopes to be able to report
much OF the work left by the Men and
Religion campaign well in hand. In con-
nection with the Chicago meeting 1t Is
to have a social service conference COW
ering two days. Besides. II will endeavor
to have all cities In which Men and
Religion conventions were. held repre-
sented by laymen. in an effort further
TO correlate and advance common plans.
These plans include larger support for
missions more general part in labor,
wage, and similar social questions, and
especially the prevention In small towns
OF overlapping and overlooking-too many
churches in some towns and the neglect
Of some new Western towns.

Redeeming the City.

The social service committee of the
New York Federation of Churches has
Just issued a remarkable report 1t deals
in specific detail with almost every form
and phase of social service-educationaL

have the attention OF all workers in this
field. DR.. William Jay Schieffelin. who
is chairman OF the cor,mittee. in a pre-
liminary word" says the committees

to serve and then to show how. The
only Christianity worthy the name, he
holds. is applied Chrfstianity-"the sci

Our social problems are, he believes, re-
sponsible for our moral and our spiritual
problems. On the narrowest ground of
fair equivalent for the remission Of taxes
the churches owe 1t to the city that at
least a like amount be spent IN social
service. The social service committee
has gathered much necessary informa-
tion regarding conditions, and the best

thing like one hundred dollars a year for
each person Is spent in this country
solely for the sake of persuading US
what to buy. The advertising columns
indeed largely determine no: only what
We shall buy. but what we shall do. The
time has passed when We had to chase
the producer: now the producer chases
us. and We have to stand with our
backs against the wall to keep from buy

church can no longer expect to be chased
after. IL II doesn't let people know what
It is doing. and for what 1t stands.

Catholic and Protestant
Accessions in Membership.

Nine years ago the Society Of st.
Paul the Apostle. familiarly known as
the Psulists, began the collection and
publication of statistics showing the
number and. IL prominent, the names
of Protestants who became Catholics.
Individual instances, with names and
details where people were well known
orLbelong to well-known families. were
furnished, and at the end Of each three
years. totals were given./ along with
formidable summaries. Of converts to
Catholicism, with names covering all
English-speaking countries.
The statistics for the three years
ending 1909, the number was 2s,7s9.
and In 1906 1t was 25,o55, showing a
slow but steady advance. In the list
of converts appear the names Of many
prominent persons, or at least persons
connected with persons holding promi
nent positions. as in the case of Mrs.
Henry W. Taft. the Presidents sister
in-law, who went to the Catholic
Church recently from the Episcopal
Church of st. Mary the Virgin, one Of
New York's advanced ritualistfc
churches.
1t is now announced that a Protes-
tant bureau will begin the collection
and publication of data showing the
numbers goipg from the Catholic
Church to Eikhestant ones. Delay in
this plan has been caused by the i'm
preston that daily newspapers would
not print the Protestant side, while
eagerly printing the Catholic one.
Within the past six months. by way of
experiment, Protestants have sent to
newspapers statements of changes
from Catholic to them, and have found.
as they admit, that editors are without
bias. All they require is that the
claims be founded on facts. Protes-
tants declare the change to be even
greater their way, and say they can
furnish figures. They disclaim any
antagonism, however, and say they
will collect the data merely to give the
public an exact knowledge of condi-
tions co.
