JOURNAL. PRINTED BY INDIANS
Cherokees Once Had a Newspaper
That May Be Said to- Have Be-
~.~s come Power.

The Cherokee Indians, when still &C.
cupying what now is the state OF Geor-
gia, published newspaper in their ma
tive tongue Ia 1923. One Of their tribe,
Sequoyah by name, in 1923 designed
Sc characters that were to represent
the Cherokee language In print. Ine
national committee and council OF the
tribe meeting at New Echota. the cap
ital of their nation, in 1925, voted
fund to buy type, a press and the nee
essary equipment. The paper was
known as the Cherokee Phoenix. Hall
OF It was printed in Cherokee and half
in English. Hundreds Of full-blood In
dams who otherwise would have re-
NAMED illiterate all their lives, were
thus enabled to read latter mastering
the alphabet. These Indians became
subscribers of@the, paper, as did men,
hers Of neighbofing states, and the pa
per became power.
The Phoenix was "known In Eu-
rope" and among other famous pa
pers that asked to be placed on the
exchange list was the London Times.
The paper was in operation for about
I'VE years, and was harassed when the
movement having for it's object the re-
moval of the Cherokee Indians west
ward was at its height. 1t suspended
publication when the Georgia state
legislature forbid q white man to live
among the Cherokees.
The honor Of becoming the first In
dian editor fell to Elias Boudinot, a
'native-born citizen Of the nation.

NOTED SOCIAL WORKEp IN
"AND THE CHILDREN PLAY

Kate Adams, the noted social
worker and founder Of Coulter House,
a refuge for unfortunate girls in Chi
cago. appears in the motion picture,
And the Children Pay" playing the
part of herself. She it is, in the
Aim story, who takes Marge Reynolds
from the court where she goes in an
attempt to force the father of her
illegitimate child to help in the sup
port of the baby.
Miss Adams has been leading fig
ure in many of Chicago's campaigns
against vice, being one of the strong
est figures in the expose which result
ed in the abolition of the worst feat
ures Of Chicago's cabarets in the win
ter of 1S16-17. Her personal inves-
tigations of the riotous conditions in
many of the most questionable cafes
at that time got the necessary evil
lence for the forces Of law prOsecu-
ton and she pursued her work often
clone and at great physical risk on
the hunt of the city's elements which
sought to drag amusement-mad girls
into a worse life.
She was one of the pioneers in urg-
ing upon Miss Winifred Dunn and
jacques Tyrol, the authors Of "And
the Children Pay" the real need for
a. picture which would awaken the
public to the need for instruction in
sex matters to children. The interior
of Coulter House is shown in one OF
the most telling points in the drama,
when the bereaved father finds his
misled daughter in the rescue home.

ENFORCING THE LAW
 IN YoNkERs, N. Y.

Recently in tho city of Yonkers, New York, a place of nearly one hun dred thousand people immediately ad- joining New York City. a plan was formulated that is known as the Yonkers plan and is based on the idea that it is not the part of the citizens to see that the laws are en- forced, but the part of the officials who are elected or appointed and paid to enforce those laws and who have sworn to do so.
 Briefly the Yonkers plan contem- plates the contribution of a certain sum of money each year by citizens who believe in law enforcement to be disbursed by competent man, for the securing of evidence of law violations, and particularly of violations of the prohibition law, and attent and similar criminality.
 Contrary to the general course in the city anti-crime citizen organization, the Yonkers plan does not contem- plate any action before grand juries or in courts by the citizens who have the evidence. The plan contemplates the publication of this evidence, prop erly buttressed by facts and proof, and the public calling of official at- tention to it No help will be given the officials. No evidence will be fur riished them. There will be repeated and explicit publicity as to conditions and the assumption and claim that the officials can find out and stop and punish these law violations if they want to.
 If they do not want to there are but two possible conclusions: The first is that the officials are incompetent and must be removed; the second is that if they are not incompetent they arc corrupt and doubly, must be removed First investigation and then continued and insistent publicity is the basis of the YonlSers plan. and 1t is securing good results.

many Americans. IL never will be settled until there is real enforcement of the law, to prove whether that law is good or bad. What has happened so far has proved nothing save that the moral fiber of the United States is not a tenth as tough as the people are fond of supposing. If the citizens want prohibition, they can have it only by enforcing the law and prov ing that the law is good. If they do not want it. the way out Is to force the law which they claim is bad, and that enforcement. if the law is a bad one, will surely act to repeal the law. The matter is entirely in the hands of the people.-Samuel c. Blythe in

The presidency has been described

PEELED to bow low before the political
drives of bitter enemies.
But before George Washington was
named president despite his many
enemies-between the call to arms In

his book on Our Presidents and Their

presidents, but in combination they
operated somewhat as president

the ablest Of these was Franklin. He
