THE JOY RIDING
KIDS IN BAD

During the week old John Law Of
Blackfoot in the person Of William
Drew, the night policeman, was CON-
PEELED to get busy and slough few
joy riders who were exceeding the
speed limit. There was little trouble
about one Of the boys trying to whip
Drew and the latter tried to comfort
them, but without avail until he put
his lovin' arms around them, SO to
speak, and dragged them to the bas
ment.. Bill was offering bargain prices
that night on bond money and made
it SIS for each to appear next day.
It's always tomorrow and the next day
has not shown up yet and the fifteen
is reposing in the bank to the credit
of the city of Blackfoot and the c
credit of the four young men who dug
it up. Sporting life cuts in on finances
but American people have to have it.

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL
CONVENTION

The national convention of the Dem

Faltimcre, Md, at 1919 p. m. Tues
day. William Jennings Bryan was in
evidence from the start. Cardinal
Gibbt MS invoked the Divine blessing

ton over comes them, at which point
they are supposed to commune with
the Great Spirit and intercede for the
sick and disabled Of the tribes. These
bucks who participate in the dance,
hold feather in their mouths, throu
which they breath, dancing in a cir
Gle, and finally are overcome. The
dance lasts seventy-two hours. An at
tempt was made by the Indians to hold
both Bannock and Shoshone dance,
but this was denied them and only OIL
last dance will be permitted.
OF course it is well to educate the
Indians, and teach them to be self
sustaining, but in compelling them to
discontinue one of most sacred forms
of religion, there is a question as to
whether any man has a right to forc-
IDLY interfer with any ones religious be-
lief and even though some Indian nigh,
dance himself to death he might as
well die from participating in a religi-
GUS ceremony as from disease, the re-
suit of what to them, are over-crowded
and unsanitary conditions Of camp life
from which no civilization yet has
been able to resuce them.

THE LAST INDIAN SUN DANCE

The Indian tribes on the Fort Hall
reservation will hold sun dance on
the bench north of the pump station,
north of Jocatello, starting today and
will be the last dance ever held on
the reservation. Orders have been is
sued from the Indian department of
Washington to the effect that this
particular tribal custom must cease this
year. 1t is claimed by those in author
ity, that these dances interfere with
and retard the process Of teaching the
Indians the necessity Of following the
white mans example Of engaging in
agricultural pursuits, rather than that
of their more savage ancestry, and
as the sun sets on Saturday night this
religious ceremony of the aborigines
will pass into the history of the
tribes, only to be brought to mind as
a memory of the old days before the
White Father at Washington taught
them different religion.
This dance is one of the sun wor-
ship. The sick members of the tribe
are tied to pole around which the
able bodied bucks dance until exhaus-
