THOMAS HARDY'S DORSET. BY r.
Thurston Hopkins. ID. Appleton &
Co.
TN one of Kipling's stories ("My
Sunday at Home") an Ameri-
can looking from a railway
train upon succession of brilliant
May scenes in Wiltshire. exclaims:
"Ah! A man ought to be able to
write novels with his left hand in a
country like this"
He was in the land of Thomas
Hardy. Wiltshire adjoins Dorset on
the northeast. The two counties
form the heart OF South Wessex.
In them one finds the background of
most of Hardys novels. The visi-
tors comment, whether he knew it or
not, was singularly pertinent. For
in a unique sense the Wessex novels
spring from the native country of
their author. The natural atmos-
phere of Wessex colors the whole of
Thomas Hardy's art.
1t might almost be said that Ma
ture, as it manifests itself in south
ern England, is the dominant charac-
ter in each of the novels. Not only
does Hardy begin with an atmoS-
phere and fit his people into it; he
comes very near endowing Nature
itself with personality. Egdon Heath
seems merely to tolerate the transit
tory presence of its rustic inhabi-
tants before swallowing them up as ii
swallowed their ancestors century
on century.
1t was. one supposes, his profound
sense of the timelessness of Nature
and the evanescence of man, of the
changeless past determining the
present, that led him nominally to
restore the ancient Kingdom of
Wessex. He likes to project indi-
viduals in sharp contrast to natural
things to INDICATE human futility.

Economical instruments ~ which
they gaze at the stars; on the one
hand the vast sidereal spaces. on the
other two human ophefnera, of which
they take no heed. Tess's brief hap
piness after a life of tragedy comes
to an end at Stonehenge, that monu-
ment built before history began, in
comparison with which the sufferings
of the girl appear almost trivial.
There is pungently earthly quail
ity about nearly all of Hardy's peo-
pie. They grow out of the soil like
the trees and the furze. They are
hardly different from their remote
forefathers, who titled and labored
precisely as they do and to the same
vain end. In "The Woodlanders'
especially does one feel the wood and
field extending a maternal wing and
superhuman government over the
persons who for a moment or so
are the sport of natural fate. OF
Giles Winterborne, one of the most
appealing of Hardy's characters. we
get this initial picture:
He looked and smelt like Au-
tumn's very brother, his face be-
ing sunburnt to wheat color. his
eyes blue as cornflowers. his
sleeves and leggings dyed with
fruit stains, his hands clammy
with the sweet juice of apples. his
hat sprinkled with pips. and every
where about him that atmosphere
of cider which at the first return
of each season has such an inde-
scribable fascination for those who
have been born and bred among
the orchards.
Nature is. however, not precisely
maternal in the common sense of the
term. Nature can be malevolent, or
at least Indifferent. To Nature the
human race is not especially impor-
tant. She produced it only recently;
it is by no means indispensable to
her. 1t is sort of toy with which
she amuses herself, much like cat
with a mouse. Shakespeare was in

and fit only for raising cattle. The
seasons are very short and crops can
be raised only with great difficulty
Often, there are seven months of
severe, winter weather, and the suf-
| fering Of the Indians during these
winters often is intense. Many of
them have only poor homes as pro-
lection from the elements. The ma
jority Of the Indians have lost all
their cows and horses, and are abso-
lutely without means.
"The Indians have gone hungry,
some Of them have starved and all
have suffered for the want of proper
clothing. Even the horses have starv-
ed. Many of the Indians have lived
only upon the hay they sold. Indians
have cut hay with old machines which
white people have thrown away. They
have raked the hay with broken rakes,
some without wheels. Some have
raked the hay by hand and hauled it
as much as 35 miles to sell it. 1t was
very little pay that they got for their
work, but it was the only means they
had. Others have had to sell their
last horses and cows to get food.
"Last year, Mr.. f. C. Campbell, the
present superintendent at the reserva-
tion, did what he COULD to improve the
conditions of the Indians. He made
them farm little gardens and raise a
little wheat, but this was not enough
to last all winter If the superinten-
dent could exercise his own Judgment,
he could improve conditions, but he

issued in Washington instructions.

are facing panic. Though 80 per
cent of these Indians have no income,
nothing had been done in the way of
general relief when l left the reserva-
tion few weeks ago. Commissioners

Robert J. Hamilton has gone to
Washington again---the lone envoy of
a destitute people.
Hamilton is a Blackfeet Indian and
is president of the Business Council
Of the tribe. For 20 years, he has
been fighting the cause of the Black
feet, seeking to obtain satisfaction Of
their claims against the government
or endeavoring to get relief from their
destitute circumstances.
A graduate of Carlisle, Hamilton
has been one fthe most active lead
ers of the Blackfcet Time and again,
he has appealed to the authorities at
Washington in their behalf. 1t has
been a long and discouraging fight
But, spurred on by the suffering
among his people induced by a severe
winter on the reservation, he has
taken up the fight at Washington
again.
Though once a numerous people
and the posSessorS of a vast territory,
Blackfcet Indians, now crowded back
to a small and unproductive region at
the very foothills of the Rocky Noun
tains, virtually are at the point of
starvation, according to Hamilton.
The Blackfeet Indians claim that the
government owes them for some 3d.
100000 acres of land, taken unjustly
at different times. Yet, they can't
get enough to eat, Hamilton says.
And this in land where the Indian
once was the sole possessor, and none
contested his right! Certainly time
and the white man have brought
changes to the land of the red man.
Fright now conditions on the res
crvation are dcplorable," Mr.. Hamil-
ton said. "More than 80 per cent of
the full bloods have no employment,
no income and no resources within
their reach. Wholesale starvation is
facing the whole tribe unless action is
taken Immediately.
"The severe weather Of the winter
and the destitution have made condi-
tions for the Indians terrible, and
there seems to be no prospect of re-
lief. More than 80 per cent of the
dry-land farmers in the territory sur
rounding the reservation have left
the state, bankrupt. When these men,
who are foptloose and able to get
around to help themselves, have failed
this way what can you expect Of a
tribe of Indians whose hands are tied
with red tape and whose property is
held under a guardianship that isn't
always friendly?
"The land where most Of the Black
feet Indians live in 5000 feet above
the sea level. Much Of it is rocky,

told that their requests for rations
would have to be referred to Washing
ton, and it would be long periods be-
fore they would get relief.
"The governments handling Of the
affairs of the Blackfeet Indians has
added immeasurably to their hard
| ships in many ways. One Of the
greatest abuses is that connected with
the leasing of the lands fthe In
sums because their interests have not
been properly protected in the making
of leases for their lands.
"Cattle have been brought into the
reservation and graZed on lands of
sons who leased lands have been al
lowed to default ON their payments.
This condition got so bad that on
their payments. This condition got
so bad that on November %, 1921,
the Business Council of the tribe
adopted resolution canceling all
leases that were delinquent. These
delinQuencies amounted to an aggre-
gate of 59,459.27. ,
"The delinquencies range from one
to three years, although the regula-
tions require that these payments
must be made six months in advance.
Every one of these leases has failed,
and most of them have been foreclos-
ed. After the stock, which was good
for the lease money, was taken away,
the government got busy and tried to
collect the mony. But this was q case
Of locking; the barn after the horse
was stolen. A cattleman obtained a
lease for large tract of land belong
ing to some 40 Indians. He failed to
pay his rent. The Indians warned the
superintendent then in charge. The
superintendent did nothing, and allow
ed the lessee to take his cattle to
Canada. Then he said he could do
nothing to collect the money. Yet,
it is the duty of the superintendent to
require bond to protect the interest
of the Indians.
"That shows how the Indian has
been sacrificed to benefit wealthy
cattlemen.
'The prevailing rate for grazing
lands on the reservation has been 10
cents an acre, and the prevailing rate
for agricultural lands 25 cents ali
acre. Yet outside the reservation ag-
ricultural lands inferior to those on
the reservation were being leased
from So to $40 an acre, and grazing

month. The Business Council has
protested many times to the unfair
ness of this discrimination, but all to
no avail. In some cases, lands under
irrigation have been leased at the
minimum grazing rate Of 10 cents, in
stead of at the higher rate for farm
lands.
"Mrs. Amelia Fov, Sd years old, had
a home on an allotment of 320 acres.
She had four-room house, barn,
running water with irrigation bitches
and a good timothy field The place
should have rented for $1,000 a year,
but an Indian Bureau agent leased it
for $1O0. This woman is nearly blind
and cannot read. An interpreter
came to her and got her to make her
mark. She says she was told to make
her thumb mark on it and she would
get some money. The next thing she

President of State Farmers Union
Says Time Has Come for Focus
ing Influence on State Senate
Asks About Tax Measures.

What has become Of the puissant
farmer of South Carolina? Has the
boil weevil so destroyed his spirit
as to create the feeling that all is lost
and further struggle useless? If not,
why is it that no farmers organiza-
| ton is seen about the state senate
to hold up the hands Of the few SEN
ators who in their desperate fight to
tighten the tax burden of the farmer
are being driven to the wall, who see
their reasonable measures emascu-
lated, shells substituted for sub
stance or the bills killed outright :?
Why is it that the farmer of the
state can not present as strong and
unbroken front as the lobbyists for
the power companies and allied cor
porate interests who are camping in
the State House? Why should not a
farmer or his representative be on
hand to buttonhole and coddle his
representative as well as the power
companies or the interests affected by
