Prominent Men From
East Visit Fort Yates
DR.. Chas. A. Eastman and Daniel B.
Henderson Visitors at Fort Yates
From Washington, DC.

DR.. Charles A. Eastman of Am
herst, Massachusetts, and Daniel
B. Henderson of Washington, D..
c., are Fort Yates visitors this week.
These gentlemen are making tour
of all the Indian reservations in the
United States, and will spend some
time on the Standing Rock reserva-
ton.
DR.. Eastman is full-blood San
tee Sioux of middle age. He was
born in South Dakota, and is we'll
known by many, both Indians and
whites, at Fort Yates and other
points on the reservation, as he
spent part Of his boyhood with the
people of his tribe along the Grand
river in South Dakota.
DR.. Eastman was educated in the
east and is a practising physician
in addition to being lecturer and
writer. Many of his books have
been translated in foreign languages.
His books are Indian Boyhood," :"
Soul of the Indian, 'The Yel-
low Lodge" "From the Backwoods
to Civilization" and several others.
To the Pioneer DR.. Eastman stat
ed that he had no official connec-
ton with the Indian Bureau and
that he was simply visiting the diff
ferent reservations discussing condi-
tions with the Indians, particularly
the war situation, as he was much
interested in getting the Indian
viewpoint on this question.
In other quarters it has been gi-
ven out that DR.. Eastman is MAX
ing an independent investigation of
conditions among the Indians under
authority Of the Senate Committee
of Indian affairs, and that on his
report hinges the fate of a bill to be
introduced in the United States
Senate to abolish the Indian Bureau
and relieve the government of the
responsibility of maintaining guard
ianship over the Indians.
Whichever is the case, DR.. East
man is fine man to meet and there
is no doubt but what he is close
observer and a brilliant example OF
what the Indian can accomplish il
given an education and free reign
to follow his natural bent and i'll
clination in carving out his future.
Mr.. Henderson is a prominent
attorney of Washington, connected
with the firm of Victor j. Evans,
leading patent and claim attorney
of the National capitol. He stated
that he was somewhat interested ir
the claim of the Sioux Nation
against the government te
recover a large sum of m oney rum
ming into many million dollars re.
fer as the Black Hills claim. His
firm last year recovered a claim
amounting to $SOO,OOO for tn,
Chippewas Of Minnesota.
Today both DR.. Eastman anc
Mr.. Henderson went to Cannonball
where they will address the gather
ing of Indians convened there tt
attend the Catholic Congress whicl
opens for a thrce-day session Fri
day.

BY George D. Eastes.

One is not long in any city until
he hears Of the outstanding, glaring
evils Of that city and the knowledge
usually comes in company with a
moan and sigh because of the exist
ing conditions. / am frank to say
that our visit to the city of Pensa-
cola has been no exception in this
regard and / therefore wish to ask
the church-member, or protesting
Christian some personal questions.
What have you done for the better
ment of the community or to bring
about reform in affairs? What are
you doing to correct these evils ?
Standing around on street corners,
wearing good clothes, smoking good
cigars or cigarettes and looking
wiser What attitude do you take
toward right and toward God? Ask
yourself these questions: "What kind
of a church would my church be ii
every member were just like me?'

zen were just like me ?"
Too many Of the professed follow
ers Of the Christ are backslidden in
heart and are victims of religious
paralysis. Too many are strangers
to family prayers and family relig-
ion and because of this they have no
power to carry with them in their
business and political relations. The
Kingdom of Christ has never suffer
ed from open antagonism to righte-
Gus principles but it has suffered ire
mendously because of the neutrality
and negativeness of those who have
named the name of Christ. The great
curse of Christianity is the neutral,
Indifferent church member who is un
willing to come out on the firing line
for God. Judas Iscariots are all
about US betraying their Lord for
far less than thirty pieces of silver.
Many are putting Christ second place,
giving Him entirely second consid-
GRAFTON. / have no doubt that many
in Pensacola have in recent weeks
said In their own hearts if not pub
licly, 81 will attend prayer meeting
or the revival services if it does not
conflict with my business or financial
plans or if it does not interfere with
my social engagements.
/ wish l had the ear of every per-
son in this city when l say that you
cannot put Christ second and be an
accepted follower of His! The man
who will thrust his wife back for the
smiles Of other women is traitor to
his wife and the individual Christian
who cares more for business, tinan-
cial or social affairs than for Christ
is traitor to Christ.
You say it is none of my business
how you live. But / declare that it
is everybody's business how you live
It's everybody's business who is in
terested in God and the right. A
long step will be taken toward pub
lie morality and decency in every
sphere of activity when church mem
bers stop covering up the cussedness
of their lives and decide to get made
over! If God had no more interest
in your city than some of you people
have had in the past and have now
the old city would have been in Hell
long ago. .......... E
Let us pray the prayer Of the
Psalmist during these days, "Creatt
in me a clean heart, o God, and re-
new a right spirit within me. Cas-
me not away from thy presence anC
take not thy holy spirit from me. Re-
store unto me the JOY of thy saliva
ton and uphold me with thy fre'
spirit, then will teach transgressor!
thy WHY'S and sinners shall be con
verified unto thee"

JAILED ON CHARGE
R0BBING MAIL OF
An AV|ATOR'S PAY

Philip Payne and George Brown,
both negroes, are in the county Jail
and will today be turned over to the
custody of the federal authorities,
charged with robbery of the United
States mail. Unable to furnish bond
in the sum of $1,000, they will be
taken over for preliminary in the
commissioners court,
Both of these negroes are concern
ed in the disappearance of a check
for 1912, the pay of an officer at the
aeronautic station, the check, it being
maintained, having disappeared some
few days ago. The warrant, gov
eminent issue is said to have been alb
stracted from the mail, and Brown is
alleged to have been mail messen-
ger, in addition to his other duties as
bell boy at the San Carlos hotel,
about the time said check disappear
ed. When arrested it was very APP
parent that someone else was con-
cerned in the alleged theft, and Philip
Payne, who was not an employee of
the hotel, was soon in custody. 1t is
claimed that one negro gave the
check to the other to be cashed, and
that said check was located some
time afterward in the possession of
a Palafox street store, where it is
understood it had been taken and in
formation to this effect turned over
to the officers.
The arrest of the two negroes was
brought about through the good
work of Private Detective Frank D,
