Erie Indians.

The Iroquois, or Six Nations, Indi-
ans, were originally composed of five
tribes or nations, but later the league
became composed of the following:
Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, Sen
ecas, Cayugas and Tuscaroras. Be
sides the nations mentioned, the Neu-
trail nation, Erie, Conestoga, Nottoway,
Meherrin and Cherokee were the most
important tribes of the stock. When
what is now Ohio was discovered by
Europeans. late in the first half Of the
seventeenth century, the territory in
cluded within that district was mainly
a battle-ground of numerous Indian
tribes, and the fixed abode of none ex-
cept the Fries, who occupied a strip
along the border of Lake Erie.

A CORRUPT PRACTICE"

The senate and some senators grew
fussy yesterday in discussion of the
Owen corrupt practices bill and hurled
charges and counter charges back and
fourth. Senator Curtis of Kansas sug-
Sested that the bill should restrict the
use of the congressional frank to pre-
vent loading the mails with campaign
matter making partisan appeals at gov
eminent expense. He called attention
to little matter of 10000 such appeals
sent out at public expense in the cam
paign OF Senator Ashurst, of Arizona.
The Arizona senator replied that it was
not against the law and recited in
stances of cable messages at 80 cents
a word passing between Taft when in
the Philippines and Secretary Root re-
lattng to horseback rides. And so on
and so forth.
Perhaps the senator who used the
government money in his personal cam
paisn was within the privilege as it
exists and if Taft and Root jollied each
other at 81 cents word perhaps they
were following a custom, The point is
that the privilege should be abolished
In the late suffrage campaign an Ari-
iona senator filled the mails with an
attack on suffrage at the expense of the
government. Not long ago a real estate
promotion in Florida managed thru
congressman TO get its advertising into
the Congressional Record and later to
have franked out tons of what was
practically pure advertising Of Florida
real estate II isn't a question of what
is but of what ought to be.
The fact is that the whole Thanking
privilege should be junkcd. 1t is by
way of legal graft. From garden seeds
to politics it should be obliterated
The spectacle of two senators quar-
ce!!ns over the sraft is a petty one
Cut out the privilege and if necessary
a few senators. The ranking privilege
IS next door to a corrupt practice at
its best.
