is a pageant, a festival. It has as
much ceremony as any function on
the royal calendar. The gypsies of
the Derby race are not there. The
bookmakers take a position retired
from the rest and dress in the con-
ventional silk hat. Society's tot
-lettes are more elaborate than at anv
other function in England. The
dressmakers of London make more
fuss about Ascot than they do for
the Easter promenade, and Ascot is
a name, when applied to dress, which
means chiffon, georgette, charmeuse,
crgandie and lace. At Ascot George
V gives his prerogatives to the ma
tional institution of horseracing.
He gives it his royal encouragement.
He is royal sportsman there, King
of Horseracing.
The Derby Is Different
But it is quite a different matter
at the Derby. There the King and
Queen attend, in so far as they can,
merely as two individuals among a
quarter-million other members of the
great throng. They go by train and
take their box by the nearest route
from the entrance. Tradition says
that here they wish merely to show
that they have common tastes with
the rest of their subjects in what is
properly described as national in
stitution, where few good colts
race over a very bad stretch of
ground.
George V is not as fond of racing
as was his father, King Edward. He
seldom bets, not because he thinks
it is morally wrong, but because he
believes it Injuries the sport. George
believes in sport for sports sake.
He has brought up his children on
that theory. In horseracing he be-
lieves the great sport is in breeding
horses that will be fast 1t is more
of an interest, so far as he is per-
sonally concerned, to improve the
breed of horses for which England
is famous. To that end he takes q
practical interest. He owns fair
stable himself, and has few horses

-
TINE next President of the
United States may or may
h not be a good sportsman.
He may be fisherman, like
cleveland, or a horseback rider and
tennis player, like Roosevelt, or
golfer, as were Taft and Wilson. But
whether he resembles any of his
predecessors in their sporting utter
ests or has any such interests at all
Will not matter. 1t is not require
.rent Of his office.
But here King would be an I'M
popular monarch if he were not
sportsman. The British would seri-
ously consider establishing a repub-
lie If their ruler were not sports

Grouse Shooting and War
Look here, Mr.. -, if you really
want to understand the British you
must realize that they never get dis

interruption Of their holidays and
sports Do you know that when war
broke out in August, 1914, the first

His People Were Happy Before the
White Man Came, Says
Standing Bear

world, yet retaining practically all
OF the Indian characteristics and
many of the instincts Of the savage.
He insists that his people have been
injured and robbed by the white
invader and that if the Indian
now violates either our statute or
moral law it is because he has
learned by observation and is de-
serting the teachings of his tribe
and adopting the customs Of those
he has been repeatedly told were
superior race.
Looks to the Past
The father of the present chief
was one of the strongest In
dian characters among the red men
of the Dakotas. He was responsible
for much Of the good feeling SLOWLY
created between his tribesmen and
the early missionaries and had much
faith in the white mans teachings.
This is why Standing Bear was sent
as student to the Carlisle school
in 1879, and in his eleventh year
came under the guidance of white
teachers. But Standing Bear has
lost much of the faith of his father
and now looks back upon what is
considered a golden past.
Before the white men came"
said Standing Bear, my forefathers
lived not only a simple life, but a
humble and religious one. ! They all
believed in the Great Spirit, and each
day offered up a prayer of thank
fulness and a request for divine
guidance. Among my people there
was no crime; in my tribe there were
no criminals. Our wants were SIM
pie, our lives were free, and the ac-
ton of each individual was governed
by his individual desires. We did
the best we could've lived and
loved and dreamed of a happy hunt
ing ground beyond the grave.
And then came the white man.
He told US the story of the Great
White Father, and, after time, we
believed him. He added to the re-
ligion of my fathers hell, which at
first we rejected, then tolerated and
finally accepted. Just when we be-
gan to have the greatest confidence
in this new story of life there came
another white teacher who told the
same story with very slight diff
ferences, but who insisted that the
small changes he brought to US were
Of the utmost Importance; then came
another with more changes, until,
at last, there were five, all teach
ing what they said was the Chris
tian faith, but all insisting that they
had the only correct version of the
story. They all agreed on the hell.
He'll and Whisky
CLOSELY following the missionary
came the trader, and from him nv
forefathers learned to drink fire.
water. And so it came about that
with so many stories of the white
mans God and so much activity
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1920-07-11

upon the part Of the white trader
my people soon found themselves re-
jecting most, if not all, of the white
mans religion, retaining, for some
unknown reason, the part which told
OF a burning pit after death, and
giving all that they possessed for
the traders whisky. The teachings
Of the old medicine men were mostly
forgotten, so when I came to young
manhood ! found my people had for
gotten their own great spirit, re-
nounced the God of the white man
and had nothing left but hell and
whisky"
Standing Bear never returned to
the blanket" in the sense that he
took up Indian customs entirely
after he came back from the school
at Carlisle. He worked for a short
time in one of the John Wanna
maker stores and then returned to
the reservation, where he became a
teacher at Rosebud. He claims to
have been crowded from this posi-
ton by the white man who came
after having passed a civil service
examination, test which the Indian
could not successfully encounter be-
cause Of his lack of general informa-
ton and the fact that he was not
a citizen.
AS a means of gratifying his de-
sire for travel Standing Bear then
joined a party of his tribe TRAVELLING

<"HE Indian always be-
- lieved in heaven, but he
never heard of hell until

never heard or hell until
white man told him.
There was not much need of a hell
in the red mans religion until after
he began to use the paleface's whisky
and adopt as his rule of life the
white mans code of morals"
This, in part, is the philosophy Of
Mato Nagin, chief of the Sioux In
dams, known in many parts of the
limited States as Standing Bear the
Indian actor.
Standing Bear offered this and
many other reasons why he is now
violating all traditions of his tribe
and race and is appealing to a white
mans court for a divorce from his
Iroouois squaw He in his formal
complaint says the white mans
whisky made demon of his wife,
and she in letter to friends in Los
Angeles, where the case will be tried,
SAYS a white vampire destroyed
her domestic happiness. At the trial
Of the case an Indian drama with a
white mans setting will be written
around pretty Wastewan, which in
the Sioux tongue means Grace, or
good woman, who now presides over
the chiefs household, and who,
Standing Bear says, is his niece.
May Standing Bear, wife of the
chieftain, says she is white woman
named Dittamar and that she has a
husband and child.
The Wife's Defense
While the wife Of the chief has
fled 20 answer to her husbands
petition for divorce, for the reason
that service must first be made in
New York, where she is now living,
In a letter to an intimate friend in
California she clearly indicates her
position. The letter is as much
defense of her husband as it is
statement of what she considers her
own wrongs. She says Standing
Bear is all that human heart could
desire as a husband and provider,
but that he is easily Influenced and
seems to have come entirely under
the control of that white woman
Standing Bear says is his niece"
"Once," says the letter, "this
woman and her husband took care
Of Standing Bear, and now they
seem to make him feel he is under
all kinds of obligations. I became
angry because of all this and said a
lot of things. l told my husband l
did not love him any more and that
was going away. l didn't mean it
and he knew I always loved him."
Back Of the strange domestic
tangle is the cry of the savage who
speaks in epigrams as he unfolds his
arguments to show that the short
comings of the red race to-day are
the result of what the white man
insists is civilization. Standing Bear
