cITY,s coon SHOWING.

II is worth noting that Tax Com
missioner William II. Blodgett in his
annual statement of taxing conditions
about the state as of April /, 1879,
gave credit 10 this city for having
the smallest amount OF back taxes
on its books of any OF TIE so-calied
"Big Five" cities of the state, and
less than a large number of the
smaller cities. More particular credit
for this splendid showing should be
given to Collector Bernadotte LOOMS,
of course, for his efficiency. but the
prestige of the city is enhanced by
the fact that Its residents are. evil
IDENTIFY, people who do pay their taxes
promptly.
II this were all IL might be passed
by, but the fact that already, with
more than a month left of this fiscal
year. larger amount has been paid
into the city treasury in taxes than
was eStlHidltu ny pNNsNS
Gates that New Britain will probably
remain in its enviable position at the
top. The satisfaction that should be
felt discloses also the ACCESSIBILITY OF
estimating such receipts conserva-
lively, as has been done, and the wis
dom of making full, generous al
lowance for the expenses that may
have to be met. A noted writer de-
clared the other day in magazine
article that Hope is Liar and
advised people not to rely upon hope
alone. Many men take issue with
some of the things this man said, but
the wisdom of making up budget
without relying upon amounts we
"hope" will come in, is evident.
Hope for the best, but work like the
mischief to make the best come to
pass.

POLITICS IN DISGUISE.

There is nothing especially edify-
ing about politics" conducted frank
ly as politics" When a disguise OF
righteousness is thrown over political
machina tions, "whited sepulchre'
has nothing on the picture that is
presented The testimony forced
from William Fl. Anderson in the
proceeding brought by the citizens of
Troy. N. Y, to have the Anti-Saloon
League declared a political commit
tee within the meaning of the statute
requiring such organizations to file
an accounting of all its receipts and
expenses, would seem to show beyond
a shadow Of a doubt that the
Leagues activities in certain particn-
lars, at least, are political. If such
is the case, there is no reason why
a subsequent proceeding would not
force the accounting desired and
thus bring publicity to the source
and destination of the $24,700 con-
corning which there has been such
secrecy.
When the more radical Of those
opposed to the methods of this
League-and even some conserva-
tives, as well--insisted that the situa-
ton was on all tours with the New
berry case and, therefore, Anderson
should be forced to disclose these
matters, many publicity organs re-
Trained from pressing the point. The
Herald took this position, believing
that no statement should be made
without known facts to support it.
Now, however the parallel between
the League scandal and the Newberry
case becomes evident. The judge who
presided at the hearing yesterday
touched the meat of the matter when
he said to Anderson: AT the bottom
of this pamphlet Zone distributed, by
the League) you say after reading
THIS mana IL TO some 0lHeT VOTER
What did you mean by that if you
did not intend that this should have
some effect upon the election ?" To
this Anderson's long, involved reply
was TO the effect that the League
knew AL Smith, at whom the PAM
phlet was aimed, would be elected, SO
the pamphlet could have no political
effect; that its aim was merely edu-
cational--to show what the League
was up against.
Well might friends of Newberry /
have said that, although the money |
spent in his campaign was for po-
litical purpose, it was spent for the |
purpose of letting people |
know how fine man Newberry was.
At least this statement would have
been as justified as the declaration
that such League pamphlet did not
disclose the political aspect of the
League. Added admissions that the
Lea que possesses priceless list of

aiming some 100000 names. and that

WOMAN IS MADE CHIEF
Wife of White Man Becomes
Head of the Kaw Indians.
Her Principal Task viii Be Pressing
Large Claim Against the Govern
nent-Was Adopted by Old
Chief and Became Nurse.

Ponca City, Okla--The Kaw Indians
not only have given women the right
to vote, but have elevated one to the
highest office in the tribe, that of cleo
tive chief. The woman Is Mrs. Lucy
Tayiah Eads, now Chief Lucy to all
her tribesmen.
Chief Lucy is the first head the Kaw
Indians have had since 1908, when
Chief Washunga was frozen to death.
She is the wife Of John r. Eads, a
white man. The two with their chill
d-en live on the new chiefs allotment,
an Inheritance of 800 acres. They are
among the few who have not disposed
Of any of their property. They raise
live stock of all kinds, are thrifty and
send their children to white schools.
1.-THE best material for the job" is
the way the Indians describe Chief
Lucy. John Eads, who is a cousin OF
James Buchanan Eads, who built the
Eads bridge across the Mississippi
river at st. Louis, proudly takes his
place as husband Of the chief. "She
is an excellent wife, fine mother, the
best nurse living and understands the
needs of her people" he says.
Lucy Tayiah, with her brother, EN-
nett, were adopted years ago by old
Washunga, who led the Kaw Indians
from their lands In Kansas In 1873 to
a new settlement in Oklahoma terri
tory He sent them to Haskell insti-
tute, after they had completed the
tribal schools. Here Lucy distinguished
herself as a student and became in
terested in nursing. After her gradu-
alton from Haskell she went to New
York city and became graduate
nurse. She remained there sev0al
years and then returned to her own
people. Her brother also lives in the
Kaw country, near the little village OF
Washunga, named after the old tribal
chief.
The Kaws, like many other Indians,
have sold and dissipated their hold
ings and are now reduced to poverty.
Although their lands join those OF the
rich Usage, and oil derricks can be
seen rising In the distance, the Kaws
have reaped no mineral benefit as
yet. A number Of tests have gone
down, but oil In paying quantities has
not been found
Chief Lucy has announced that the
principal task of her administration
will be pressing a claim Of her tribe
against the government for $15,OO0,-
600 which the Kaws allege is due
them as payment for lands they
owned in Kansas before their migra-
ton to the Oklahoma territory.
