Truthful Sarcasm

Anent the latest Indian war, in
connection with the rounding up Of
Tse- Ne Cat. Old Polk, ct al, that old
iconaclast Of the frontier, J.S. Hoy.
writing to the Denver Field and
Farm, says, in part:
During the council of war up rose
. doughty assistant attorney who,
without fear, discussed the legal, In
ternational phase of the situation.
He said there are many friendly In
dians who had no connection, aside
from the ties Of nationality, kin.
blood and previous condition, with
Tse- Ne-Gst. Old Polk, Posey aud
Daisy, renegados, that by treaty
entered into between the whiteskins
and red faces several SHOWS ago, 1t
was made obligatory on the part Of
good injuns to help capture bad In
juns and II they refused they were to
be considered as accessories after the
fact. Bloody Knife, chief Of the
whiteskins, interrupted and said: "If
the present army of invasian Of neu-
trail territory fails to capture Tse- Me-
Cat, Old Polk, Posey, Nosey and
Daisy, he would bring. In his allies
and kill all the Utes In the Rocky
mountains to make sure they had the
right ones"
"Then he proposed to make them
pay for all the trouble, expense and
blood shed, by conflscating the land,
snnuities, appurtenances and heredi-
ments and divide the lands among
cattlemen, sheepmen aud ranchmen.
Then spoke tenderfoot: Excuse
me, most high and honorable culprits.
1 suggest q treaty. know you are
following custom and many preced-
ents, to-wit, 80 long as an Indian
possesses an acre Of ground, . pony,
. sheep or COW there will be white
skins mean enough to take them
away from him. 1t appears to me
that an ornery Mexican sold or gave
poisoned whiskey to Tse- Cat, won
his money with marked cards; and
the whiteskins have grazed their cat
tie, horses and sheep on Indian lands
without pay or consent and follow
ing precedents established by white
skins, Tse- Ne-Gat and Old Polk are
only trying to play even." The re-
mainder Of the message was deleted." :"

Jingoes and Cost Of War

In the estimate of the British min
istry that the European war will cost
the allies $4,000, ,OOO, 600 for the year
1915, the jingoes in this country
should find meat for reflection. These
folk seldom reckon the cost In life,
inasmuch as they are In large part
politicians who expect to obtain some
advantage from strife, or men in
other walks of life who think they
sse pecuniary profit In warfare.
These could not possibly be dragged
- . recruiting office, but as long rs
somebody else is doing their fighting
they can be more martial than Mars.
But If the cost of warfare, with
modern weapons and under modern
conditions, is so terribly large ~ this
estimate indicates, cannot even these
gentry see that we live in another
age and that war today, with its
consequent diminution Of our mater
ial wealth, will mean evil days for
the entire nation?
No matter how great victory we
might score over even the meanest
foe. the price we would pay for 1t in
precious American blood, In the de-
basing of the morale of the nation
and in treasure, would be too great
for us to hope to recoup it through
any of the fruit Of victory.-Chicago
