DUTY OF ALL NEWSPAPERS
TO THE PUBLIC IS CITED
Ogden Reid Speaks at Banquet OF
Indiana Members Of Asso-
ciated Press.

INDIANAPOLIS, April 19.-With lead
ing business and professional mon pres
emit, the annual banquet of the Indiana
members Of the Associated Press was
held at the Claypool Hotel here last
night. Meredith Nicholson was toast
, master, and the speakers were: Paul
Cowles, superintendent of the central
division of the Associated Press: David
F.. Town of the Chicago Evening Post
Charles w. Fairbanks, John H. Holli-
day, nestor of Indiana newspaper men,
and Ogden Reid, editor of the New
York Tribune.
I'VE have great privileges and op-
portunities for public service" said
Mr.. Reid. but we also have great
responsibilities. and on the manner in
decide how much confidence to place
in US. 1t seems to me that it is clear
ly our duty to the public to try our ut
most to justify their faith in every
column of our papers, news, editorial
and advertising.
We now want everybody to believe
every thing that appears in our papers.
even in the advertising columns: 1t
certainly is easier for us to investigate
suspicious advertisements than for each
of our readers to do so. We are acting
as sales agents and are responsible for
the goods which we are trying to SELL"
Newspapers should print letters to
the editor, in the opinion of Mr.. Reid.
When a paper prints an editorial on
one side Of a question and in the next
column reproduces a letter from the
reader bitterly attacking it, 1t shows a
fairness which must appeal to all, he
said.
The only exception to the rule that
news stories must have news interest,
and that they cannot be printed mere
ly to please somebody, is in the case
to the community, he said. These we
all gladly give space to because we are
always anxious to help in good
cause" he said.

MORE INDIANS TODAY
THAN EVER IN HISTORY
Those Living in Original Territory
of Mexico Outnumber
Past Tribes.
Divided Into Numerous Families
and of Wide Range Of
Civilization.

There are more Indians living. today
within the territory originally COM
prising Mexico than ever existed at any
one time in all the rest of the western
hemisphere combined. according to a
bulletin issued today by the National
Geogra phic Society of Washington.
"of the 10000 900 inhabitants of Mex
leo fully 80 per cent are pure Indians,
and 43 per cent of mixed blood. only
10 per cent being whites continues
the bulletin.
These 100000 Indians, many of
whom are descendants of that wonder
full race. the Aztecs. are divided into
many linguistic families and tribes, the
numbers varying according to the
standards of differentiation adopted
by each ethnologist. Some authorities
group them into fourteen families,
with f1fty-one languages and sixty-nine
dialects, while others make sixteen
family divisions. subdivided into 1872
tribes.
Wide Range of Civilization.
THE degrees of civilization to be
found among the many tribes are as

Indians of Sonora. pitiably unde
veloped as the Indians of TERRA del
Fuego. to the highly developed and
splendid specimens of manhood found
among the Nahuau and Maya tribes.
The finest examples of aborigina
civilization on the North American
continent were to be found in the
neighborhood of the present City of
Mexico. with the possible exception of
that prehistoric race of temple build
ers whose ruins dot the Yucatan
peninsula. 1t was on the site of the
capital that the Toltecs left their i'm

fury, when the Chichimecs. a cruder
tribe, replaced them, not by conquest
but because the Toltecs died out, some
Antiauarians attributing their gradual
disappearance to the ravages of pulque

huas. and a few years later, before the
opening of the thirteenth century, the
Aztecs began to pour in. leaving in

now known as the ruins of Casas

north of Mexico City, and eventually

Mortified by Human Sacrifice.

'One of the most interesting legends
about the tribes from which the In
dians of today are descended is that
recorded of the Colhuas, who are sup
posed to have enslaved the Aztecs dur
ing the latter's migratory march up
the plateau. The conquerors soon re-
leased their enemies because they were
Mortified at the Aztecs' custom of of
fering human sacrifices to their gods.
1T was largely to the cooperation
of the TlaNcalans, a neighboring tribe,
that. Cortez owed his triumph over the
AZtecs. The latter were as brave and
as chivalrous soldiers as were the
Spanish adventures who enjoyed the
decisive advantage of gunpowder and
horses, both of which were unknown
TO the natives The generosity of the
Aztecs as fighting men is exemplified
in single incident. Learning that
the enemy was without food, the MeXi-
cans dispatched an ample supply of
provisions. because they scorned to
night a starving foe.
Are a Melancholy People.
The majority of the pure blooded In
dams OF Mexico are a quiet, somewhat
melancholy people. Even on holidays, of
which there are 13l on the Mexican
calendar, they move silently among the
crowds. the men either barefooted or
wearing woven sandals. their shoulders
covered with their striped serapes and
the women with their dingy blue rebosas
wrapped about them. In attire the young
girls. like the children of Holland are
miniature replicas of their mothers
The pure-blooded Indian of the remote
regions untouched by civilization is more
frequently than otherwise stalwart in
dividual of upright character, moral, hon
est and loyal. One of the finest examples
of his race was Benito JuareZ, a member
OF the Zapotecas tribe of OaXaca. He
was by turns shepherd. a student OF
divinity. Governor of Oaxaca, minister OF
eIstice. and finally president of the re-
public.
"Porfirio Diaz. the outstanding figure in
Siexican history during the last quarter
r. Inc nineteenth century, was also born
IN OaXaca, and, according to his official
biography. was one-fourth Indian. How
Ever, some genealogists hold that he was
more nearly three-fourths Indian"
