INDIAN RESERVATION
IN KANSAS IS RELIC
OF PIONEER TIMES

MAYETTA, Kans., Jan. 1S.-The
Fottawatomie Indians recently finish
ed a two days dance and feast In
honor Of the New Tear 1t was a cele-
bration which every Indian on the
reservation, mile from here, attend
ed, and many white guests were
present, for the Pottawatomie feasts
are famous for their quality and ex-
cellence. Barbecued beef is one of
the favorite dishes.
The reservation is twenty-five miles
from Topeka, the capital of Kansas,
and contains about eleven square
miles of land. Approximately five hun
dred Indians are living there, and the
land is farmed. The white mans
civilization has flowed around the
little reservation and left it. relic of
pioneer days in Kansas. Much Of the
white mans civilization has, of course,
been absorbed by the Pottawatomies;
they all speak English, and motor cars
are common place among the red
men.
Tells Of Prophecies.
81 can remember" Mat Septa, a
young Pottawatomie, said, when the
dancers and medicine men used to
prophesy at our dances of how the
white man would one day ride in car
riages without horses, and fly through
the air like birds. We used to think
that was very wonderful, but we have
seen it happen. Our dancers also told
of how there would be a great war
among the white men. in which they
would cross the sea to kill one an
other. That was the European war.
I was in France sixteen months my
al nj hn o1, tv- infh division A
great experience. You know. what |
liked about the army, you always had
friends and were not lonesome. But
I was glad to come home.
Our people live softer than they
used to. When I was a little boy,
often they used to take us down to
the bank of the creek, winter morn
ings, and break the ice and make US
jump in. That was to make us hard
and strong. They don't do that any
more with our boys.
Predict Decline Of Whites.
"Our prophets tell of another great
war that will come among the white
men, and after that, they say, there
will be no more war. They tell us
that the white mans heart will be
changed then. and that much of the
land that once belonged to the Indian
will be given back to him. | do not
know. It is not good for my people
to have too much money in their
rockets for they spend it swiftly"
The Pottawatomies are proud of the
fact that Charles Curtis, senior United
States Senator from Kansas. is OF
rottawatomic ancestry, and still count
linn a member of their tribe, although
they do not often see him on their
reservation.
His time is taken up in the city OF
the Great White Father" the Pottawa-
tonnes explain. but his heart is
friendly toward his people"

With the News Letters figures
we have no quarrel; they are
from the State School
figures as to
bond issues for school purposes
poted in North Carolina since
January /, 1921. We presume
they are correct. We DO take
exception, however, to the News
Letter using these figures as a
basis for comparison. They are
manifestly unfair to those
communities who have not
waited until this ye
1921 to provide adequate
educational facilities for Their
children; in fact they are worse
than unfair; they are useless
they prove nothing, they reflec'
nothing as to the state OF edu-
cational progress in the State OF

HALLIDAY HOLIDAY

A few days ago someone took
a petition around to get the mer-
chants of Roanoke Rapids to sign
for closing all Of the stores at
700 P. M. through the summer

Der of merchants could not see
their way clear to sign this petl-
ton; consequently it soon fell
through.
This is not meGnt for criticism
one way or another, as each one
knows his reasons for not deslr-
ing to close better than do so
