policy Of friendlineSS to the English.
But Alexander, who succeeded Massa-
soft as sachem, found that difficult for,
as the number Of white settlers in
creased, their desire for more land in
creased and the Wampanoags saw
their territory passing rapidly into the
hands of the whites. More than that,
the kindly feelings that had prevailed
between the two races began to give
way to suspicion and hatred on both
sides and to harsh treatment of the
red men at the hands of the white.
Alexander's friendship became no.
ticeably less and he was summoned to
Plymouth to answer to charges of
plotting against the English. Alexan-
der refused to come and he was
brought by force. This indignity
threw. him into rage and he became
seriously i'll, dying upon his return
trip to the Wampanoag lands in Rhode
Island. His wife, Wetamee, and his
brother, Philip, both believed that he
had been poisoned by the English and
resolved to avenge his death. But
Philip, who succeeded him as sachem,
clearly understood the power of the
English and did not intend to make
the mistake of acting too hastily. For
nine years after his elevation to sa-
chem, he devoted his energies to OBJ
servation and preparation for the i'm
pending struggle.
Philip made every effort to accumu-
late guns and ammunition for his war
riors and even tried to obtain the
formula for making gunpowder. He
succeeded in getting large number
of firearms and many Of his men be-
came expert marksmen. All of these
preparations had not gone unnoticed
by the colonists who were uneasily
aware that darf cloud of disaster
was lowering over them. Finally in
1871, Philip was summoned to coun-
Gil at Taunton to explain the suspi-
cious acts of his tribesmen. He as
serted that he was preparing for de-
Tense against the Narragansetts, de-
MED any hostile intent toward the
English, signed a new treaty and
agreed to surrender all his guns. He
did give up some 70 of the weapons
owned by his tribe but Immediately
after his return to Mt. Hope continued
to go forward with his preparations
for war.
For the next three years peace pre-
vailed but still the uneasy feeling that
they were on the verge Of war
troubled the colonists. By this time
Philips plans had matured and he had
determined upon opening hostilities in
the spring of 1876. He become more
independent and bold in his attitude
and when the governor of Massachu-
sets summoned him to another coun-
ell to make new treaty, Philip sent
back this naughty reply: "Your gov
ernor is but subject of King Charles
of England. I shall not treat with
subject. I shall only treat with the
king, my brother. When he comes I
am ready"
At about this time, too, Rhode Is
land settler who was q good friend of
the Indian leader tried to dissuade
him from war. Philips reply is his
toric. He said: 1.-THE English who
came first to this country were but
handful Of people, forlorn, poor and
distressed. My father did all in his
power to serve them. Others came.

Driveways Worth While

An attractive concrete driveway
adds much to the appearance Of the
grounds, because it enhances beauty
and makes for neatness. Its utility
lies in its providing safe passage to
the street or highway the year
round. Automatically a good drive
way increases the value Of property.
1t matters not how modest the home
or limited the space in lawn. the
driveway is an important and neces-
sary adjunct to house and garden.

[M
WhM Indian, famous for his
SMlSSy war against the whites,
X but man of outstanding
abilities and one who, judged by any
just standard, was patriot and a
hero. Metacom, his father, Massasoit,
sachem of the Wampanoags, called
him, but the whites who felt the force
of his wrath knew him as King Philip
or Philip Of Pokanoket. They all but
exterminated his people, they hunted
him to earth and killed him and they
subjected his body to indignities as
barbarous as any inflicted by their
savage enemies. And now, nearly
three hundred years later, his MEM
ory is to be perpetuated in shrine
to be erected by descendants of some
Of the men who fought his tribesmen.
A Massachusetts, archeologist and
historian, r. F. Haffenreffer, Jr., of
Fall River has purchased the historic
ridge in Rhode Island known as Mt.
Hope, the home Of King Philip, and
there will be butt fireproof memo
rial for housing Indian relics, a veri-
table shrine of New England Indian
history. The Mt. Hope reservation is
q tract of more than 500 acres and
contains many points of historic in
terest. Among them are the spring
where King Philip drank, the rocky
throne on a hillside where the Wam-
panoag leader held his councils with
his braves, and the swamp where he
was killed by the men led by Capt.
Benjamin Church. In this reservation
too is the ground where 30 bushels of
corn were raised by the Indian wom-
en- and given to the starving Pilgrims
by MasSasoit, who lies buried on a
hilltop few miles away.
The story Of King Philip is the
story of the leader of lost cause,
q champion of weaker race whose
. attempt to stay the onrush of the con-
Quering whites was foredoomed to fail
ure. He was the first great Indian
chief to attempt confederacy of the
tribes to resist the whites and he
came nearer succeeding in his plan
than did Pontiac, Tecumseh or any
other red leaders who followed in his
footsteps. "History has made him
king Philip to commemorate the
heroism of his life and DEATH" saws
one historian. HE almost made him.

and statecraft put forth among the

might have founded temporary king

Notwithstanding repeated usurpa-
lions upon his lands and liberties"
Massasoit continued in his role of
"Friend Of the White Man" to the day
of his death in 1862. Near the close
OF his life, he had taken his two sons,
Wamsutta and Metacom, to Plymouth
and requested the governor, in token
Of friendship, to give them English
names. To Wamsutta was given the
name Of Alexander and to Metacom,
the name of Philip, and Massasoit
