There seems little question that
the career of Turkey in Europe is
neary ended; and it is closing ami
carnage so bloody and horrible that
we in the western world do not
seem able to understand the ghast-
illness of it.
1t is a fitting end to the tale of
Turkish rule in Europe. The Turk
is a killer. He delights in slaughter
and in bringing suffering upon help
less and defenseless victims. The
history of his rise and fall in
Europe is a story of continuous
massacre of innocent peopl
1t lis fitting that those who have
suffered most are the ones who are
taking vengeance. They have wait
ed long, more than four hundred
fifty years - and they can not be
expected to refrain from treating
their hereditary enemies as they
have so long been treated, in the
hour of their deliverance and
triumph.
The Turks have known no mercy,
and given no quarter. They are
asking it now, but it is not always
granted; and they who have caused
blood to. run like water, are now
perishing at the hands of those
whose fathers they slew. The mills
of God are still at work, it seems,

THE ROAR 'oF CANNON.

s Uncle Joe Cannon, who went
down before the storm of popular
disapprobation not long since,
seems to be still sore. He loves
the Progressives not; and he
loves their leaders less. In the
last issue of the Saturday Evening
Post, he pays his compliments as
follows:
mo tradition or veneratfon or
sentiment has stayed the hands
of the latest crusaders of reform;
for they would unhesitatingly re-
write the constitution or do away
with it entirely as the fundamental
law and convert this government
into a pure democracy, to be sway
ed like the old time campmeeting
by the fervor of the exhorter
rather than by the logic of the
ordained minister.
81 have had some patience with
all former reform campaigns, for
in my younger days / had some of
the same impulses; and moreover,
had any one of these campaigns
succeeded, the experiment could
have been undone as quickly and
easily as it was done, when the
experiment proved that it was not
the panacea forr our political ills.
have little patience with these
latter day reformers, who would
upset all the developments of more
than century of government by
law and return to the old rule of
the mob, led by men endowed with
superior ability or, rather, with
plausibility. Had the Progressive
movement of last year succeeded in
carrying with it a majority of the
people, and had it been lasting
enough to have abrogated the
constitution, this country would
have been committed to the revo-
luton as completely as was France
to that which placed that country
under the rule of an unrestrained
majority and a reign of terror. :
Really, doesn't it almost frighten
a person to think just what we
missed, and how narrowly we miss
ed it. If the truth were known
it is probable that Uncle Joe
feels just little shivery yet ovel
1t. He doesn't seem to have any
liking for pure democracy, OF
mob rule, or even the rule OF an
unrestrained majority of the Amer
acan people. Few of us have evel
understood just how dangerous the
Deople of our nation really are
unless held in check. 1t must bf

that the oppressed and excitabe

CARLISLE. Pa. Nov 2O.-The man said to be the brains of the present Indian movement near Santa Fe which is giving the government so much apprehension and which may lead to another war between the white man and the red is said to et youne chief named Grey Feather. If this IS the case it is probably the Indian boy who played and on the famous 1908 football team at the Indian school here. Grey Feather graduated from the school in that year and 1t was his third year on the team. He was rated as one of the best ends among the eastern colleges.
 The reports from the west state that the leader of the present threatened uprising has sworn deadly war against the white race and that his ambition is to unite the red men in a movement to secure for his people the lands from which they have been driven.
 This confirms the belief that the young chief is the same man who played on the team here and his ha- tired of the white race is accounted for by those who knew him while he was east by the fact that love affair that happened in his senior year at college embattered him against all whites.
 When Grey Feather was playing on the team the daughter of one of the wealthiest residents of Carlisle was a frequent spectator at the college games and like many of the town girls she met and made a hero of the stall wart end. Grey Feather was a ire quent visitor at the home of this young woman and they were together a good deal at college dances and other social affairs.
 The result was that a mutual at traction sprang up between the young people and some of the Indians friends say that they were engaged
 During graduation week the student and the society girl were seldom sepa- rated and 1t did seem as if there was

 A COLLEGE GRADUATE

something more serious between them
 than the ordinary college friendship After he graduated Grey Feather | stayed around Carlisle for several
 weeks and the report was that he was
 trying to win the consent of the girls parents to a marriage.
 The young lady herself is known to l have conflded to her intimate friends
 that she was in love with the young chief of the Navajos. Her parents, however would not hear of such a thing as an engagement and when they realized how serious the affair was really becoming they bundled their daughter off to Europe where she spent a year or more in travel
 The day before the girl started for Europe and Grey Feather was to re- turn to his reservation the couple had q long conference at the girls home and il is said that although the stern father stormed and threatened the young woman was firm and said that when she returned she would be of age and would marry the Indian with or without the parental consent With this the young man had to be content and he went back to the west to work the government land allotted him and to build home for his future hride
 Tn Europe the sweetheart for whom the Indian lad was working fell in with a gay set in London and Paris and she found the delights of the great capitals more to her liking than q cabin on western reservation.
 The result of this trip abroad was that the young Carlisle girl decided to marry French count and spend her days in Paris, a decision which was aided and abetted by her mother with such success that they did not return to this country and the ceremony was performed in France
 It was some months after this hap py event in Paris that Grey Feather learned of the faithlessness of his college sweetheart and he then swore the most sacred oath known to his tribe to some day he revenged on the whole white race for the reachery of one of it's daughters.
The Nome daily nugget., 1913-11-21

That was some years ago but the story is well known here and from information obtained from Indian students now at the school it would appear that from tn" day uf his whit. sw"ethcart's marriage Grey Feather has worked and plotted among his people to bring about the uprising which now threatens to call the reg ular troops from the Mexican border
 So much for education. Grey Fca- thcr. who had become Christian at the school has gone back to the gods of his fathers and is making war on the white people who made his edu- cation possible
