it was for herself, for her own per-

for her quiet, gentle manners, for the
winsomeness of her ways, for her
kindnesses towards others. She was
loved for the goodness of her char
acter, for her truth, for her sincerity,

because she was herself, she was low

Our Native Americans

When the Hon. Joseph G. Cannon
speaks, he speaks to question before
the House, and if the pending meas
ure doesn't raise the sort of question
he would like to speak to, he will
raise one that does. The Burnett bill,
providing literaey test for intending
immigrants, was up on Friday. 1t Of
fered only a parliamentary question but
as there was much talk about native
Americans" among the members fav-
oring the bill, the former speaker
raised another, as a substitute, by
asking if anybody could tell him what
q native American really is. Then he
answered himself, as he usually has
to do at such times, by saying that
native American names ought to be
found in the list of family names list
ed in the first federal census, taken
in 1890, and recently issued by the
