ASKING MUCH OF WOMEN.

Attention is invited to the stirring
words of Senator Tillman on miscege-
nation, printed in another column. AS
our readers already know, the only
negrophobia we have is in this direc-
tor, and we wish it was more gener-
ally felt by the people of the South,
especially in those states where ne
groes remain large part of the pop
ulation, and the lust of white men
causes violations of the purity of the
Caucasian race.
We do not agree with Senator Till
man that Southern negroes, in any
great numbers, are ambitious to asso-
ciate and amalgamate with white peo-
pie. There was a time when the ne
groes had such ambitions, but they
soon found that there was nothing in
it for them, and they now aim for and
desire, society of their own. The
clinical menace that they at present
are to the Caucasian race is almost
entirely due to licentious white men.
DR.. Dixon's book, wherein the negress
tempted the white man, was ridicu-
lous situation, well-nigh impossible,
certainly not correct picture of con-
ditions, as they usually exist.
However, Senator Tillman's appeal
to white women to secure the passage
of laws for the suppression of this evil
Of amalgamation is amusing and I'M
reasonable. Amusing and unreason-
able because the senator is one of the
most rabid of those, who deny women
the suffrage. He belongs to the set of
men, who profess to believe that wo-
mans place is as queen of the home"
only. The perfectly serious manner
in which he suggests that women of
that type should take up a crusade,
repugnant to woman's natural mod
esty and refinement. shows that Sen
ator Tillman is inconsistent, or rather
that without fully realizing it, he recog-
nizes the great fact that woman's pro-
vince as queen Of the home involves
the consideration by her, of many out
side questions which she can not ig-
more If she would preserve her king
dom intact But his call to women of
that sort will be in vain. 1t is upon
women, with broader outlook on life,
greater independence of thought and
speech, that the task will fall to lay
aside their innate reticence on deli
cate subjects, in order to benefit their
race and uplift humanity in general.
She, it is, who must lead. Her more
retiring sisters may follow, but upon
her the burden of the propaganda will
rest, as even good men are slow to
show their disapproval of the evil
practices Of their fellows.

THE CHOCTAWS AND
CHICkASAWS.

If credence is to be given tradition,
the Choctaws, Chickasaws, Muskogees
(Creeks), and Seminoles were centu-
ries ago one tribe, occupying the south
eastern portion of the United States
from the Mississippi to the Savannah
river. Internecine rebellions, engen-
dered by factional quarrels and the
jealousies Of ambitious chiefs, ulti-
mately divided the great nation into
four tribes, which, in the course Of
time, learned different dialects, Gus
toms, and laws The Seminoles claim
ed as their domain the peninsular
country, now Florida; the Creeks, the
region north of the Semiholes, COM
prising a part of eastern Alabama,
Georgia and perhaps part of South
Carolina; the Choctaws, a large por-
ton half of Mississippi; the Chicka-
saws the lands to the north of the
Choctaws, comprising northern Missis-
sippi and a portion of west Tennessee.
When De Sofa explored this region
(l540) these tribes occupied the terri.
tory in the manner described.
The Choctaws and the Chickasaws
had their traditions, many of which
have been preserved to this day. In
the old Choctaw country is cave in a
hill which the Choctaws held as sacred
claiming that the first parents of their
people came from this cave by magic.
The Chickasaws have another tradi-
ton. Long centuries ago, when the
Choctaws and Chickasaws were one
people, they dwelt far to the west of
the Mississippi Driven by ferocious
northern Indians from their country,
they journeyed toward the sunrise
many moons, under the guardianship
OF sacred dog, led onward by a
magic pole, which they planted in the
ground every night, and in the morn
ing travelled toward the direction the
pole leaned. At last, after crossing
vast deserts, boundless forests, and
dismal sWamps, leaving thousands OF
their dead along the way, they reached
the great Father of Waters. While
crossing the Mississippi the sacred dog
was drowned. Following the direc-
ton indicated by the magic pole, they
continued eastward to the bands of the
Alabama river, where the pole, after
being unsettled for several days, point
ed distinctly southwest. They pro-
ceeded in that direction to the south.
ern portion of Mississippi, where the
pole planted itself firmly in perpen.
dicular line. This was the omen for
permanent settlement, and here the
tribe dwelt. Tradition concerning the
rebellion and formation of an indie
pendent tribe by the Chickasaws is
very vague. The word Chikasha
(Chickasaw) in the Choctaw tongue
signifies rebel, the latter tribe giving
its rebellious offshoot that name, which
the Chickasaws evidently accepted as
their distinctive tribal name.
When the early navigators touched
upon the unknown shores of the Gulf
OF Mexico, the red men who greeted
them were not savages, living exclu-
sively by the chase and the spoils OF
war In measure these Indians were
civilized. They had their rude arts,

WON EMS WAGES.
Woman's Home Companion:

Woman's Home Companion:
Economic independence should be as
possible for women at home as for
women in business. There is some
talk about the parasitic" woman
the woman who accepts her living
with many Injuries thrown in, and
gives nothing in return. Perhaps she
exists, but not, we believe, in great or
alarming numbers. The fact is that
most women work, either at home or
outside. One of the great differences
in the kind of work women do is the
kind of pay they get. Wage earning
women get actual money to put in
their pockets, and there is an intoxi-
cation about the possession of your
own funds that is not quite like any
thing else. AS one business woman
expressed it: "You can buy clothing
and go hungry, or buy delicate food
and go naked, or give your money
away and go both hungry and naked
if you like. You are, in your small
way, a god don't know that there is
nothing better than earning your own
living; what do know is that pay day
is a good day, even if it's all owing"
The average woman who works at
home is still in the stage of exchange
and barter with no medium of ex-
change to measure values with. There
are some parts Of the country where

laws, customs, and religion, inferior
but somewhat similar to those of the
Aztecs and Incas, which leads to the
belief that the magic pole tradition
had its origin in an exodus of these
tribes from Mexico. The theory that
the Chickasaws and Choctaws were
an offshoot of the civilized Aztecs has
some foundation. They were not pri-
marily warlike race. Their DISPOSE
ton was not ferocious, although they
were capable of waging long and
bloody wars when driven to such an
extremity by perfidy and wrong. The
ancient government of the Choctaws
and Chickasaws was democratic and
simple. Their ruler was called king,
but his authority was abridged by the
powers of the council, which was made
and unmade at will of the people.
Their ideas of justice were based on
principles of equity. Virtue, truth, and
honesty were, it is said, striking
characteristic. Their methods Of az
riculture were crude, but it is certain
that they cultivated the great Indian
cereal and prepared it for food by
crushing the meal being baked as
bread, or the grain parched or boiled
whole Their theology was beautifully
poetic and largely worship of the
heart, without the elaborate and bar
barous rites of the sun worshipers
farther south To their simple mag
lining the manifestations of the Great
Spirit were constantly heard and seen
in the works of nature. Their daily
life was one Of devotion to quaint and
pretty superstitions and spirit wor-
ship. When De Soto, Daluna, and
other white explorers first penetrated
their country they found a race hos
pitable, virtuous, peaceable, and hap
py. They were met as gods, and law
ished with gifts and kindness. They
requited this generous treatment by
treachery, rapine, and conquest.
After the white man had come among
these Indians with the innovations
which we proudly term civilization,
the history of the Choctaws and Chick
asaws is the history Of the subjugation
of the red race. Contact with the white
mans civilization began the work of
determination and implanted in here
tofore truthful breasts the seeds of
hatred and revenge. The Chickasaws
and Choctaws were fearfully decimat-
ed by wars with the Europeans and
other tribes. Curing the early explora-
tons 1t is said they had $4,000 war
riors, while in 1920 the two tribes could
muster less than 1000 fighting men.
The Choctaws allied themselves to the
French in the war against the Natchez,
whom the Chickasaws aided. The two
latter tribes were badly beaten From
1910 to the establishment of the Amer
lean republic the Chickasaws and Choc-
taws were almost constantly at war.
AS progress followed the star of en-
pire westward the rights of these In
dams as they understood them were
more and more circumscribed. In 1765
the Chickasaws made their first gen.
eral treaty with General oglethorpe,

While Webster City was more than
anxious to win this game, the White

such a contest. 1t was as evenly a
balanced battle as is possible to put
up. One score was made by Fort
Dodge in the fourth round and one
by Webster City in the sixth and
there the tie stood until the twelfth
inning. The most tense interest
marked the game throughout. 1t
was a pitchers battle and each had
great support. The contest was
characterized with many unusual
features, especially for a twelve in

en- a pass on balls. No man made
first by being hit with the ball. Not
a man stole a base in the entire
twelve innings. Neither pitcher
made a wild throw and neither
catcher had a passed ball. Such a

record during twelve inning game
is something really marvellous.
A big crowd was present, quite a
number of fans from Fort Dodge
being among them, and all said it
was the best ball game they had
seen for many day.
There was nothing doing on
either side until the fourth inning,
when Umstead made a home run
for Fort Dodge. Anderson followed
with single. O'Keefe went out on
a foul. Coffin was caught out on
fly. Miller famed.
In the last half of the sixth,
Sucher made a three-bagger. Cor
bin was put out on fly to right
field. Moose hit, scoring Sucher.
Emerson struck out. Berggren was
caught out on foul.
In the first half Of the twelfth,
OKeefe made three sacker. Cof-
fins singled, scoring O'Keefe. Miller
hit, but Coffin was put out at
second. Laird hit, and Miller was
caught at second. Peterson struck
out.
