If ever boys cling 10 the traditions

generation evince 10 outward rebellion

at their fathers knees and hearing the
tales he tells of some great warrior or
of his own deeds of valor. And for
Indian heroes there is no lack. Find

Doing Things For Themselves.
The Society of American Indians is
an evidence Of the fact that he Indian
is capable Of doing things for himself.
The society met nj the Ohio State uni
vcrSity in October of last year and
subsequently was in executive session
in Washington. 1t created n legal aid
department through which to prose
cute. through its own attorneys. the
claims of the various tribes.
Arthur G. Parker. general secretary
of the society, says:
Indian claimants will now get hon
est and diSntereSted legal advice and
have refuge from Il class of lawyers
that have grown rich on Indian claims
by banding together and pooling fees.
This has been to the great diSadvan-
tage of the Indian and has resulted in
the perversion of justice. Although
the Indian might sometimes win. win
or lose. he always had an enormous fee
to pay his attorney"
AS Mr.. Parker expressed the senti-
ment of the ''progreSsives" of the race
we may conclude that civilizing in
fiuences have inspired the Indian with
an ambition to fight his own battles
from now on through the medium of
a developed intellect. instead of, in the
old fashioned way-with bow and ar
row.
