BY CHIEF TAHAN

Introductory note: 4 series of
two articles, of which this is the first,

the kiowa. tribe, revealing the high
social and political development of
American Indian women)
Most folk, no doubt, regard equal
rights" as comparatively new idea,
dating back not further than the days
of Susan B. Anthony. But the idea is
centuries old, just how old we have no
means of learning. We do know, how
ever, that when Christopher Columbus
landed on our shores more than four
hundred years ago the Indian women
in most tribes enjoyed many political
rights that civilized women Of today
do not possess
Indeed, the Indian women of that
day had political rights that are not
held generally by the male voters Of
the United States today, for the In
dams scheme of government included
not only equal suffrage but the initia-
tive. the referendum and the recall.
And to this very day large numbers of
lndlan women retain those !ights,
though with the coming of the white
man and his civilized ways there be-
gan a curtailment of the tights in
many tribes.
Head of the Family
Excepting in the tribes that ranked
low in culture woman was never con-
sidered inferior to man. In many in
stances she was his superior. Among
these tribes the woman controlled the
fundamentals of society. She was
considered the source of the clan and
was regarded as the head of the fam
lily. The land and the house and all
Its furnishings were her property.
Descent was always traced through
the mother, not the father.
She had the exclusive right to the
children and her authority over them
was absolute. She directed their
| course in life and when the boys
reached what she deemed the proper
ages to receive a training in mans
sphere, she turned them over to the

INVESTIGATING THE WAR

Lnuef u eSoluu just ADOPTED the senate Is TO enter
upon a searching investigation of the conduct Of the war
with special reference to the expenditures incurred. Be
cause OF the approach of = presidential year, both great
parties will seek to make all the political capital possible
out of the investigation. That does not mean that the in
vestigation is inspired by the spirit Of partisanship, or
that it will be conducted in a partisan manner. But,
the investigation having been ordered, and being due to
begin in the very near future. the political experts of both
parties will have their eagle eyes fixed on the inquiry,
and we may depend on it that industrious party workers
will ignore any item which is likely to make the ap-
preaching campaign any easier for them. or more likely
10 enhance their chances of success.
Nevertheless, the investigation should be made, and
the present is q good time to make it. 1t would have
been inopportune and inappropriate while the activities
of the war were at their height. An investigation at
that time into just how things were being done would
have tended to interfere with the doing of them, and the
essential thing at the moment was to get the work done,
no matter what the cost. Now that the war is over, to
all intents and purposes, it is proper to inquire into the
expenditures, and ascertain If those in authority did the
best that could reasonably have been expected, with the
material at hand.
1t will be found that there was, in the handling of
most Of the work of the war, a great deal of what, under
ordinary circumstances, would have been called wild ex-
travagance. The investigators, being, presumably, men
of sense, and therefore able to appreciate the difference

form their work in full recognition of the fact that peace
standards cannot be applied to war work. Certain ma
terial had to be obtained. In many cases the conditions
were such that it could not be obtained in the quantities
and at the time desired except at q cost vastly greater
than if it had been possible to proceed in a leisurely man.
ner. But there was no leisure. 1t was not possible to
wait, and to pick and choose. We had to have the stuff,
and if, in order to get it right then. it was necessary to
move mountains, why. the mountains had to be moved
over night.
The investigation will doubtless unearth some graft.
An enterprise on SO gigantic a scale, involving so many
people and such vast expenditure, ha. yet to be executed
without some pickings and stealings. In several million
men there are inevitably some rascals. In connection
With the war some rascals have already been spotted.
Some of them are in prison. Others are on their way
there. And the unearthing Of every additional instance
OF fraud which the commission is able to bring to light
will be an additional public service. In addition to its
contribution to the political campaign the -investigation
may increase the population of the penitentiaries.

He watched until Bruce had enter
ed his room, before turning away to
his own. He was puzzled.
In his room, Bruce turned out the
light and lay down in the dark. He
did not draw the curtain, but he fixed
his gaze upon the blank ceiling. He
thought deliberately of the prison of
Rio Nabuco, ~recreating its miseries.
Then he thought Of the orchid-piled
dinner table, Of the guests with whom
he had sat, Of the work for the two
Americas in which he was to share.

Sometimes Corey Bruce asked himself
that question as weeks passed into

to live any other life, now. He was

He worked as hard as Milo Valdez,
and almost as ardently as that en-
thusiast. Quite as ardently, when the
