VOTE THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.

VOTE THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.
the greatest measure of justice and
renders the greatest service 70 the
country.
Pointing to President Wilson's rec
ord in the matter of race discrimina-
ton. In his speech at Independence
hall, Philadelphia, July 4, 1914, when
he was a candidate for the presidency,
he gave assurances that he would not
discriminate against Negro citizens of
the United States.
Notwithstanding these assurances
of support of the principle Of equality
before the law and in governmental
affairs, great discrimination has been
practiced, not only in the departments
over which the president has indirect
control, but also in appointments that
are made by himself.
Under republican administrations
the policy was pursued of appointing
colored man to fill thevaacncy Great
ed by the resignation, death or expir-
alton Of term of a man Of that race.
This policy was reversed by the demo-
cratic administration and the follow
ing colored persons have been succeed

"Will John Cohee break the truth oath
of the Choctaws? You know, friends
that never in the history of our nation
has a Choctaw failed to keep his word
to the tribal council save once, and that
man was the son of dog and he fled,
and brought dishonor forever to his
tribe. Never again must that occur else
the name Choctaw will become a by
word in the mouths of our brethren, the
Creeks, and we will be booted at by
all the nations In the land. To steal
horses is the crime of many an Indian,
but to be a coward is not in the Choc-
taw blood"
very fat old Indian who had been
sitting with his chair tilted back against
the wall took his pipe from his mouth
gravely and squinted his eyes to
smaller slit. A roaming gray hound try
ing to pass between his feet was given
a swift and cruel cuff which sent him
bowling into the shadows at the back
of the hall Then the fat old man with
many puffs and much deliberation spoke,
the others sitting with their eyes look
ing unfathomable things through the
smoke wreaths.
Temple James" said he your words
are wise, and l fear with you, for the
son of Willis Cohee is a coward and un-
worthy of the name of Choctaw. He
fears death and will run from 1t like
the very wind for swiftness His mouth
is full of lies and deceit and he plays
with the maidens of the tribe whisper
ing false things in their ears and max
ing their hearts leap to the sound of his
wicked words. In his hands the Choc-
taw honor is dead thing and he will
not be there when the day comes for
him to face the gun of the executioner."
Several gutteral grnnts answered this

When he stumbled across lonesome
grave, a queer little low house with the
rotting shingles of its narrow roof cav
ing in hideously, he did not feel as sorry
for the dead underneath as he had done
before.
His fathers house was one of the
more pretentious frame dwellings found
then in the Choctaw nation with wide
the rooms on either side, and set far
off from the main road in its own par
ticular grove of trees speaking thus of
its Indian owners whose desire has al
ways been to retire into the recesses of
the forests. Several low smoke houses
and an ash hopper doomed up darkly
in the rear and the rail fence which in
closed the dwelling was built in fascinat-
ing curves about yard as smooth and
clean as sanded floor. Some rose
bushes set about promiscuously, flung
out their branches and the odor of
their blossoms filled the air, but young
Lewis liked better the deep baying Of
the hounds as they plunged to welcome
him from the kennel built along the
fence. His mother, gathering chips in
her skirt at the woodpile in the lane be-
tween the yard and the barn nodded to
him with Indian reticence as he came
into sight, but her sharp eyes searched
his stern face though she gave no sign.
Within the wide hall, smoking their
pipes in the GOODNESS of the gathering
dusk sat his father and several other
men, neighbors, who had filed out of the
woods one by one from their various
homes to talk over the coming execution
of John Cohee. James sat on the stone
step and listened to their words which
seemed to come to him in a dream His
father was saying.

denied the statement. The pipes were
pulled In silence. Far off In the woods
a whippoorwill shrilled its lonesome cry
and the chorus of the katydids grew
louder with the settling of the night
shadows. The women of the house pass
ed back and forth in the rear of the hall,
preparing the evening meal, their foot
steps making soft, padded sounds
through the house One by one the
lights from the pipes were extinguished
and one by one the Indian men rose
and with but a nod to Temple James, they
slipped off in different directions, the
shadows of the trees hiding them from
sight in an instant
In the purple darkness by the side OF
the ancient spring where she had listen
ed to the love words Of Lewis James but
a fortnight before, little Minnie was
sobbing in the arms of John Cohee.
With customary Indian female reticence
Minnie did not urge her lover to fly, but
back of her sobs and cries, there was
the eternal feminine urge that the one
dear to her be saved no matter what
the sacrifice. Little Minnie, shy as a
woodland bird and with the first stir
rings Of womanhood throbbing in her be-
ing, had listened to the flattery of hand
some John Cohee and had counted him
as her sweetheart for many moons even
though Lewis James had just discover
ed the secret. These last few days had
been like a nightmare to her simple
soul, for in spite of the attentions OF
John Cohee, she could not drive out en-
tirely the memory of the words of Lew
is James, and somehow the look in his
eyes had been different from that VIII lch
she saw so often in those of her old
lover and the waters OF her soul we're
troubled And then had come the news
that John Cohee must face the gun at
sunset near the old council house on
day not so far away and between the
STRINGS of the old affection, the hor-
ror of death and the memory OF that
other passionate love avowal, poor Min
ME was in as near a state of hysteria
as an Indian maiden ever gets.
The sobs which forced themselves
from her heart we're stifed in the bosom
of John Cohee, that bosom which was 30
soon to be riddled with the gun shots
Minnie thought of that and pressed clos
err to him in a mighty impulse to pro-
tect. John Cohee stroked the hair Of
his sweetheart and spoke in a voice
which was not tender, but harsh, as If
he were fighting some unsaid word from
her.
Would you have me turn traitor, and
forget the Truth Oath? Would you have
my name kissing in the mouths OF all
my tribe? Would you have me forget
that I am a Choctaw?"
He peered into her face which glowed
wanly in the dim light of the stars, as

aching void or his arms, she was thrust
ing him away and sobbing as she cried.
mo, no no, leave me, who am a most
miserable one" Behind the veil of tears
her eyes cleaned a last soft glance at
him, she wavered for the smallest Sec
ond, and still sobbing fled down the faint
ly traced path which led to her fathers
house.
Young Lewis stood as If stunned and
watched her go, and his hot blood turn
ed cold. He was very still for several
minutes closing his eyes slowly at in
tervals as If in great pain, and then turn
ing, went striding down the side of the
hill toward the refuge of the forest
across the cotton field
The GOODNESS of the sheltering trees
felt to him like the comfort of some
mighty embrace of kindliness, and with
rapid steps he sought the fat old oak
that lowered above its fellows In ST.
lent majesty.
There he flung himself at its moss
grown feet and gazing up into the in
erlacing of its mighty boughs let him
self suffer silently like all woodland
things are wont to do.
While the afternoon shadows length
ened and the gold of the sunshine turn
ed to rose, he lay at the foot of the oak,
gazing off into the green aisles with I'M
seeing eyes He was trying to realize
the fact that Minnie did not love him
and would have none of him. The
whole of his simple young life was to be
readjusted to this awful reality, and
the thought of the long days without
this hope made him groan inwardly.
His childhood and youth stretched out
before him in imagination like some
pageant, and he could not remember
when Minnie had not had the chief place
In his thoughts and when his future
plans had not been woven with her face
In the background.
Then in the midst of the reveries of
the past, there came suddenly to his
consciousness the face of John Cohee,

with a green leaf pinned over his heart.
The suddenness of the CHASTITY thought
that assailed him brought him to his
feet, so horrible was it to his mind
The green wooded places, the patches of
blue sky, everything, went red before
his eyes, and for long moment he was
but a palpitate mass of hatred and
pain. "Choctaw fool" he muttered to
himself and the thing came clearer to
him, like blow between the eyes. Min
ME loved John Cohee, John Cohee who
but the day before had come riding in
with the green leaf of death over his
heart. And the face of his rival floated
in the air above his eyes and refused to
disappear. That rival, who looked so
much like himself, who, though he
knew it not, had the brow little less

EXPECT CHANGES
Maine COACHES
OF FOOTBALL

Bangor, Me-, Nov 14.-Bowdoin and
Maine seem destined to lose their football
coaches and there's possibility that Roger
A. Greene, who turned out the champion
ship eleven at Colby, won't sign up &C.
cording to the stories emanating from the
several campuses in the State.
Bates already despairs Of retaining Bill
Parks, the Tufts quarterback and Cap
tain. Parks being content with his one
year OF coaching and anxious to open up
a dentists Office In his home, Somerville
Parks signed one-year contract with
the Lewiston institution and Director
Purinton isn't hopeful of getting him
back, although Bates was pleased with
the showing that Parks made with the
material this year and an attempt will
be made to get him back to Lewiston.
At Maine. Tommy Hughitt's second
year was expected to be his last but the
athletic authorities at Orono didn't begin
to take the Michigan man seriously until
they heard what he told the squad be-
fore the team started for the army at
Annapolis. Hughitt appealed to the Maine
team to do its best from every angle
that coach can exhort a squad of play
ers, but he wound up with an exhortation
to do their best for him as 1t was prob
ably his last game as coach. Hughitt
received civil engineering training and
is anxious to get into the work.
Weatherhead at Bowdoin has told
friends at Brunswick that within a few
weeks he expects to go into the mining
business, and if this is true the work
would carry him into the western part Of
the country and Bowdoin also would be
without the services Of her coach. 1t IS
understood that Bowdoin men are salts
fed with the showing Of the team this
year and give their coach considerable
credit and want him back another year,
When Roger Greene signed up at
Colby last spring there was a general
feeling of surprise. 1t was known that
Greene had applied at Bowdoin and
Maine and that both these institutions
had had him under consideration. but
Greene never thought of asking for the
job at Colby for several reasons. one
of which may have been his caustic

criticism Of tactics he alleged Colby
used in the games with Bates.
1t was said that Greene might have
landed at Maine but for the record of
the Bates team, which, because OF
poor material and hard luck breaks.
was at the bottom of the colleges last
year. His ability as a coach. was rec
ognized but it takes more moral cour-
age for an advisory board to take
coach that has had the misfortune to
direct the fortunes of a loser and
consistent loser at that.
Greene went to Colby at an increase
over his salary at Bates. He Is
Pennsylvania man, and although he
has law Office in Lewiston there were
no ties to bind him to the Lewiston
college with the prospects that await
ed him at Colby. His contract with
Colby was a one-year affair and with
the reputation Of a championship team
behind him, may have offers to take
another college in hand.
As in the case of Bates. Greene has
no sentiment to hold him at Water
willie and from appearances he might
be easily induced to leave. With berths
wite open at Bates, Bowdoin and
Maine, in this State, and with the nu-
merous chances that'a successful coach
has to catch on with college here
and there, Colby's chances of holding
Greene do not look any too strong.
