Educated and wealthy Christine
Rrrtpa, an indian maiden OF twenty,
went on a jamboree at Spokane,
Wash. and was arrested and Jailed
The woman came to a fashiona bic
cafe In big touring car with another
Indian girl and two Indian men, all
Of them wen-to-do. Three Of the
party got drunk. One of the men
kept sober. He was released.
Following the arrest of the three,
detectives arrested and held without
bond a young white man who sold
the Indians whiskey, in violation OF
the United States law on this sub
1ect
Probably the greatest curse that
white men ever gave the Indians was
FIRE water" It has done more to
destroy that race than almost any
other element, excepting the bullets OF
the pioneers. So frightful has been
the havoc of whiskey among Indians
that special laws had to be passed
prohibiting It's sale to the redskins
It has been said that on the first
ships to carry missionaries to the
Congo many barrels Of whiskey were
also taken across the water. Thus
men send the message of salvation and

deaths will only serve 10 increase the
feeling in the hearts OF those who IA
yored the uprising or who sympathized
with those who participated in It
Life imprisonment would have robbed
many OF the "heros' Of the halo that
will forever live where their names
are written or spoken In Ireland
Though crushed. the hatred against
England is probably greater in Ire
land now than before the rebellion
Fed on fantastic stories OF love and
heroism, the minds OF human beings
invariab bly, turn In a sort Of worship,
whether there be reason or not.
England will have many difficulties
in the trail of the irish rebellion.
This home disturbance. If brought on
hy Germany, as has been charged by
some was one Of the hardest blows
against England. 1t has created a
fostering sore which, like a cancer,
1t will take years to destroy.
And England's voice was still echo
ing praise for the Irish troops in the
field with the allies when this rebel
lion broke out

Undoubtedly u Is necessary that
treason he punished, England must
either suppress rebellion in Ireland
or take the serious consequences
Death has always been the penalty

Yet how long will Ireland remem-

the curse of civilization at one and the
same time. While the work Of the
missionaries has revolutionised the
Congo and is making 1t into a great
nation, the sale of alcohol is still one
of its greatest curses.
Can any better argument against
liquor be used than this: Is there
anything that could more strongly
illustrate the weakness of humanity
than such desire for greed as will en-
rich a few manufacturers OF poison
at the expense OF a nation still In
savagery?
1t lie we'll that the law prohibits
the sale of whiskey to Indians.
Though educated by missionaries and
taught the rudiments of refinement
and art the Indian woman stands dis
graced by her effort TO emulate the
fashionable white women who visit
winerooms and cafes for the purpose
of drinking.
Thank God. the day Is not far dis
tant when men and women Of all races
Will have crushed the liquor traff1c in
America. When that day comes, the
work of our misSiona rtes will have
gained double strength, and their task
will be made easier.

About the most idiotic thing that
New yorks police force has pulled
of in many years was the shooting
of a detective who was giving a
pick pocket exhibition by another de-
tective Of the force, who thought the
man a real piokpockst.
To make the scene douhiy foolish.
the shooting took place before Police
Commissioner Woods and other ON
cials in Madison Square Park, in full
view Of a number OF spectators The
man was shot through the mouth, the
bullet lodging behind his left ear. He
will recover
All Of this brilliant piece Of work
took place in an effort TO demonstrate
that the police dog is not afraid to
tackle q thief even when fred upon.
The detective doing the pocket pick

dog. and was in turn shot by his
brother officer.

scene was to be merely an illustration
of dog work. But whoever passed the
word did it on mighty small scale,
for before being shot the actor was
first hit in the head by another police
man.
This buNoonery on the part of a po-
lice department in a city az great as
New York is about the limit. The po-
lice force of that city has had many
charges launched against IT and has
furnished some mighty queer tactics
for the laughing of the nation; but for
pure absurdity this shooting and
striking of member of the force in
public exhibition before a police
commissioner gets the pennant.
Thank goodness, the dog behaved
himself we'll, though he, too ran he
tween the poor police actors legs and
knocked him TO the ground, where he
was made target for bullets
