America Has Big Navy and Also Small Navy

The United States is one hundred and
thirty years old. And ever since we
were nine years old. we have had two
navies-a big and little one The little
one is the oldest; for the first nine years
1t was the only navy we had, the revenue
cutter service. We had no secretary
of the navy during that first nine years,
nor did we have a navy department The
first three naval vessels built were op-
Grated under the secretary Of war.
The Atlantic coast line Of the little
American republic was open, unfortified,

ative service" of revenue cutters against
illicit trade and to aid the customs SER
vice in getting it's imposts. As we had
no navy, congress created little navy"
to protect the only department that
needed help in the coast waters.
When it was seen that the revenue
cutters could not be expected to fight
foreign navies on the high seas, America
created a real navy, but singularly
enough, continued its revenue cutter
service, too. Meanwhile, our coast line
grew along the gulf, around the Great
Lakes, up along the Pacific, all about
Alaska, and finally bounded Porto Rico
and the Philippines. From local sea-l
board our waterways now reach 1aH
around the world and from Panona RI

the navy. From the very first sea-fights
III Commodore Decatur's day down to
the patrolling of oceans and the air in
this world war, the revenue cutters have
been naval vessels in every sense of the
word. And the naval vessels have been
revenue cutters as well. There has not
been duty performed by revenue cutters
in time of peace that the navy has not
performed in war time.
Four years ago, while we were at
peace, the revenue cutter service and
the life saving service along the coasts
were amalgamated, and the joint service
called the coast guard. There was no
reason then and there is no reason now,
but tradition, why the coast guard should
not have been merged with the navy.
But congress loved the old precedents,
and the fact that Alexander Hamilton
had created the revenue cutter service,
now the coast guard, made that service as
sacred as Shakespeare's bones. No one
seemed to remember that the United
States navy did not exist in Hamilton's
day. The navy was not created until
four years after Hamilton left the treas
ury and when it was created, Alexander
Hamilton himself earnestly advocated
that the little navy be taken over by
the big one. No heed was given to this
pElDce of constructive statesmen. And

To the settlers who have come into
Montana in the last score Of years, the
Sun Dance, or the annual religious fes-
tival of the Indian tribes is novel and
little understood thing. To the older
inhabitants, this tribal custom is a fea-
ture in the Indian life that stands for
much the same as the camp meeting to
the religiously inclined of the white race
or, perhaps, more closely compared to
the camp meeting Of the colored people
south of the Mason and Dixon line. In
other words, it is a serious fact in the
Indian life, a thing to which he looks
forward with hope and expectation of
spiritual uplift and improvement and
from which he comes satisfied in his in
ner self that he has been benefited by
carrying out the customs of his peoples
in this annual event.
In the olden days, when the Indian
tribes were more numerous than now and
the pale faces much fewer, these tribal
festivities were real events. They drew
large numbers of Indians from distant
points and for days the program of re-
igious devotion was carried out with
great pomp and splendor; with much
paint and formality and it probably
would not be making too broad a state
ment to add that in those days the relig-
ious fervor reached stage which can
not be equalled in this day because in
such programs. the excitement of the
throng always is a factor in the degree
and intensity Of the service, no matter
whether it is the doings of the Red Man

| lected is straight with fork at the top
having three prongs. This is essential
because the peculiar character is re-
quired to meet the needs in making the
lodge.
When the young mem find the tree
they cut it and remove all the limbs and
then, tying their lariats to 1t. they race
away with it. their horses dragging 1t
by means of the lariat. 1t affords a real
ceremony as the tribesmen return to the
camp with the Medicine Pole.
Having secured the Medicine Pole, the
first thing done in the preparation is
the erection of the Medicine Lodge. This
is arranged at the center of the ground
dedicated to the purpose of the Sun
Dance and when it is located the other
tepees are then put to place. The lodge
of the chief is placed and those of the
tribesmen, too, and there all are put on
one side of the Medicine Lodge On the
opposite side of the Medicine Lodge the
palefaces are allowed to have their
tepees and if there are half breeds pres
ent to watch the ceremonies, they also
are permitted to have their lodges along
the same side as the white men.
Now that the grounds are laid out, the
lodges all are put up and everything is
arranged for the opening of the cere-
monies There comes first the dedica-
ton of the Medicine Lodge. The chiefs
march out from their lodges and in SOL
emn form pass about the Medicine
Lodge, chanting and stopping betimes to
carry out some tribal ceremony. With

And so, at the celebration of the
Rocky Boy and Little Bear Indians, the
first week in July, down on the reserva-
ton 10 miles from Box Elder. there was
something that would be of interest to
all classes, but more especially for the
newcomer to this section-to those, who
few years ago in the time occasion
ally referred to as the good old days"
would have been called the ''tenderfeet." !"
Those who had seen the formalities of
the Sun Dance carried out when the
tribes were more numerous probably
would have found it somewhat tame. 1t
was observed with all the pomp and
ceremony, however, which marked the
same dance of the olden days but it
lacked the numbers. The fervor, the
sincerity, the Journalism were not lack
ing. 1t drew quite an attendance Of
spectators from among the white people
who study the Indoan customs and hab-
its and who, at such times as that work
is needed, give aid to the Indian tribes
on the theory that they are a weaker
tribe and being descended from the abo-
rigines of the continent, who, under the
rule of the survival of the fittest, had to
give way to the white race, now are en-
titled to consideration as the wards of
the stronger race. Theodore Gibson of
this city went down to the festivities and
talked with the Indians Of their condi-
tions and their needs. He witnessed the
ceremonies and secured some excellent

are herewith reproduced. Some of the
pictures are exceedingly strong in their
colorful suggestion of the pomp and GER
emony of the Indian festivities, as will
be seen in the one where the tribesmen
are mounted on their horses and riding
in parade. But there is one thing that
is not profaned by such an unholy thing
as q white mans comera and that Is the

The Sun Dance program is divided
into parts and the entire program covers
period Of three days, according to Mr..
Gibson. The Sun Dance begins on July
/. and continues until July 3, in the eve-
ming and on the fourth, there is a gem
eral rejoicing and celebration, Victory
celebration, according to the decree of
the chief Of the tribes participating,
Chief Little Bear. On the first day the
feature is the War Dance The first
thing on the program Is the selection of

there is arranged certain stations and

inside and the worship of the sun begins.
In the placing the Medicine Pole, there
is arranged an emblem or a marker to-
ward which the worshippers direct their
eyes which. it appears, keeps them well
In line with the sun.
With reasonable success, it is the plan
of the tribesmen to have the ceremony
of worshipping the sun start about 6 on
the evening of the first and it was so
planned at the Box Elder celebration but
unfortunately some delay was occasioned
and the ceremony did not start until 10
that night. From the time the religious
ceremony started, those participating are
supposed to continue in constant worship

tribe who have suffered loss of some

erwise beset by misfortune, are supposed
to participate in the Sun Dance. The
women take their position on one side
of the Medicine Lodge and the men
