OLD lNDlANHIsToR
A. McG. BEEoE

The Western Sioux, and perhaps
Indians generally, had the definite
idea of civilization, and they dis.
cussed it trenchantly.
Old Sioux distinguished three
grades of social-make, j. .. ordinary
well-being. called tanyan unpi,
satisfactory well-being, called was
teyan unpi, and pleasing well-beine,
called wiciyokipiyan unpi, which
included luxuries and culture and
the possession Of things Of art and
beauty.
They believed that races Of people
preceding themsslfs had been savage,
which they termed itosla wicasa,
and that their own ancestors, in
remote times, were savages.
They spoke Of an ancient dwar.
fish race living in low dirt houses,
and with the habit Of climbing trees,
and with hands strong and stubbed
for diginR, with five fingers and
with the thumb oveer towards the
center Of the palm Of the hand, moi
on the side Of the hand as it is with
Indians.
/ To them civilization, in its formal
social-make, was the acquiring o.
desirable things together with th.
satisfactory distribution among til.
people Of such thinRs-wi.h great
emphasis in the distribution.
Yet they taught that if q mar
was indolent he deserved not to far,
as we'll as the active man, 60 the,
were not Socialists. in the sense o
believing in equal distribution
regardless of individual effort.
Sioux County pioneer. (Fort Yates, Sioux County, N.D.) 1914-1929, 1920-11-04

Some indolent persons in every
band were shabby, and hungry,
except at the public feasts, in which
Ill not under sentence Of expulsion
from the social circle, shared alike.
And their idea Of the essential
inner element in civilization was
different from any I have seen in
books, and was as iollows: The
capacity to gather in, for food and
shelter, while the tide flowed in, to
tide over the periods while the tide
was flowing out-this plus also the
capacity for gathering mental and
spiritual momentum from the pleas
ing and spiritually exalting moments
to tide oyer the dark and melan-
choly moments, the latter being true
manly culture, and saught by
vigils and discipline.
Some animals they considered,
civilized, in the sense that they laid
up food in store, besides the fat on
their bodies, while other animals
laid in store merely the fat on their
bodies. The Bean Mouse. among
other animals, they, considered civ.
ilized, tho not cultured, since not
having the capacity for gathering
| in store mental and spiritual
momentum from the better mo-
ments for tiding over the bad mo.
ments. V
And while they came TO see that
whitemen surpassed themselves in
civilization in many ways, as they
viewed civilization, vet they consid-
| cred their own civilization more just
and humane than that Of the white.
man.

Another general election has come
and gone, and the things each caruli-
date thinks caused his success or
failure are probably not what did it
at all.
The things we regard as our
virtues are often enough not virtues
at all.
1t is better for the successful ones
to be thankful. and the unsuccessful
ones not to be afraid to try again.
Calumny.peddling in the personal
.vituperation occasionally elects a
man, but it defeats ten for every
one it elects.
In all human living it is best to
learn to be modest winers and also. /.
good loosers.
All men demand honesty-in
others. II is well to demand it
strenuously in ones ownself.
There is probably no man living
whom some people do not believe
dishonest. Nevertheless there are
many honest men.
Willingness to work is the safe
guard Of honest manhood. The
