local paper when he announced his complete
retirement from business with the intention
of spending the remainder of his life in
travel He left shortly afterward for Europe
where he remained about five months. So
far as we know he has never left the State
again. One season Of Europe cured him.
Upon his return To our town we had the
pleasure of receiving the assignment to in
terview him.. The unpublished portion of
that interview was the best.

We changed the subject slightly

asked.

captured enemy as sons or husbands. We

In athletic prowess the redskin and the
modern American have much In common.
The Indian was and Is an athlete of the
first order. We have only to think of such
men as Jim Thorpe to visualize the Indian
athlete. A recent writer on the Indians
Of the plains tells the story of brave who
travelled three days on snowshoes, without
food. and without once stopping to rest, a
feat that makes the marathon look like very
small potatoes.
There seems to be something in the
American climate and in the American life
which puts the real ginger into our athletes.
The present position of America in world
athletics is sufficient proof that we have in
herited the physical zip" of our red skinned
brothers.

banished King Alcohol from our shores.
Already Europe is being treated to the
spectacle of Americans who come over in
droves prepared almost to sell their birth
rights for a demijohn. The liquor trade
among the Americans Of the present dav Is
proving almost az remrmerative to the
astute European booze runner as II to

Before the advent of that tragic and
comical time let us hope that we may be at
peace in our soul with the soul OF the de-
parted red man, and that he will forbear to
wreak upon us that final and poetic ven-
geance. And with that peace we shall have

dren where great sacrifices are made for
the coming generation and where the old
Judaic axiom " pare the rod and spoil the
child" no longer holds good
But the America of the indians was also
land of the children. for youngsters among
the redskins had a pretty easy time of II.
They were not compelled to go to school
and were permitted to do just about as they
liked by their parents. Indian children
were never chastsed or disciplined as Eu-
ropean children seem to have been from
time immemorial.
Crevecoeur, an early American writer, re-
lates that white children who had been
captured or adopted by Indian tribes, were
loath to return to their former homes. We
, can well believe 1t. What American boy of
to-day would not rather be a redskn, rowing
plain and forest with his bow and arrow.
than a cooped in paleface schoolboy? The
Indian has taken powerful hold on the
imag agination of our youth.
When we come to the matter of political
ideals we would naturally expect TO strike
snag. But there too, we find that the
Indians were treading in the paths which
we have trod. Chiefs were accountable to
the people. and could be deposed. Among
the rroquois, men from the common lot
could be elected to civil chieftainships War
chiefs had little power except ip-tynes OF
war.
The ideals OF peace. comfy between ma
tons and tribes, and Justice and good will
among the people find eloquent expression
in the constitution Of the 1roquois Indians,
adopted early in the sixteenth century, and
attributed to the Mohawk statesman, De-
kanawida ,Dekanawda could have made
some Of our modern spokesmen OF democracy
blush for themselves His constitution OF
the league Of nations made up OF the Iro-
quos tribes Is, II anything, a more en-
lglrtened document than that OF our own
league.
The Choctaws. Chickasaws and other
tribes were equally democratic. 1t has been
claimed by students of American history
that some of our most broadminded and
democratic statesmen learned much from
their association with the red men.
We pride ourselves upon the fact that we
are the melting pot of the earth. The In
dian, too. had a melting pot all his own.

was the case of Charley Trimble and William
Trimmins, both of Cumberland Island, Ga,

the purpose of swimming and fshing and
there we became the friend of Charley and
William, two venerable negro boatmen, who

secured them passes to a cheap melodrama

them safely into the top gallery, after which

1t is a splendid thing to be able TO appre-
ciatc art. We mean all kinds of art, not only
pictures. Now there was the case of a friend
Of ours who went to Europe number of
years ago. He had been wholesale grocer
In our town and had amassed a considerable
fortune. OF course. he really got his start
during the days when the retail grocery
stores sold liquor as well as provisions. This
was said to have been great convenience to
the women of those days because the man of
the family never objected to going in the
grocery store on his way home. Even after
his arrival there he very frequently noted
that his wife was out of pepper. salt, or
something of that kind. and so, tired as he
was after hard days work. he would un-
grumblingly put on his shoes and his collar
again and go willingly back to the grocery
store.
Well anyway that is the way our friend
got his start OF course, later his business
became of the wholesale variety, and still
later on he worked into the Captain of In
dustry class and became a deacon of the
church. But he always thought in terms OF
pecks and bushels.
