will no longer wear Vermillion-barred
feathers as mark of their triumphs over
the enemy, the stamp of their success
will be upon their minds and hearts.
Some of them, given the ambitious de-
termination of Plenty Coups, may train
themselves rigidly for future greatness.
No longer need racial differences be a
handicap. That the aptitude for
greatness is inherent in the souls of
these copper-skinned neighbors Of ours
few can doubt.

political wires, occasionally resorting
to bribery for votes, just as their white
brothers have sometimes done. Or,
more rarely and more honorably, have
proven themselves by their achieve
ments best fitted to lead their people.
Theoretically that method, of course,
is the basis upon which all leaders of
all people have been chosen.
Such a man was Chief Plenty Coups.
He was bound to rise. There was that
within him-eXecutive genius, wisdom,
babe the commonplace. Had he chanc-
ed to be born a Frenchman he would
have been a second Napoleon. A Roman
he would have been a second Julius
Caesar. Or, if an American, a Wash
ington or a Lincoln. Just as surely as
water seeks its own level, would
Plenty Coups have risen to the highest
level of any environment in which he
might have been placed. But fate
decreed that he should be an Indian.
Nor was he even a full-blood of the
tribe he vas destined to rule. Aleek-
chea-ahoosh was half Bannock and half
Grow and was brought into the Grow
tribe, a slave child Or an adopted son,
while a baby. From the lowest rung
of the lowly ladder he climbed steadily
to its top, until, at his death, he was
Plenty Coups, man of many achieve
ments, recognized by redmen and
whites alike as the chief of chiefs.
Plenty Coups said to me once: II
always wanted to be-not only as good
as the best, but the best" In child
hood, he said, he worked to be leader
in the games. He strove to be the
swiftest runner, the strongest SWIM
mer, of all the Grow boys. And he told
me how, while other boys were playing,
he spent long hours on the banks of the
river, watching the beaver swim and
endeavoring to learn from it the surest,
swiftest strokes. He told me, with a
smile for the childish superstition, OF
how he followed his mothers sug-

dingy place, with rags of dust-stiffened
curtains at the windows. But there
was a time, they tell me, when Chief
P!enty Coups kept open house for any
white man needing a nights lodging or
a meal, with a plentitude of food and
beds in every room. During his hos
pltable days Of glory as proud ruler OF
a nation he beautified his domain as
best he could, not only covering his
floors but draping his walls with gor-
geous-hued Administer rugs.
The Crows can never have another
chief great in the sense that Plenty
Coups was great. Modern times de-
mand. not the courageous warrior, bat
Ting for his people, acquiring new land
or more horses, defending his hunting
ground from invasion, but the SagaciOuS
politician, who must guard tribal rights
from other politicians of whittier skin
and equally sagacious.
Up on the Grow reservation, that lit
tie nation within a nation, based on an
elective system of government, there is
as much political turmoil as we find
in Italy or Germany, serious discussion
OF questions quite as vital to the Crows
as Hitler'S policy is to Germany or
the Abyssinian situation to Italy. And
the Crows. like all other peoples, find
themselves separated into factions, one
endorsing this policy. another that.
Fifty-five years ago, certain men
stood out prominently against the mass:

The Crow reservation Is a small
nation within a nation. There, al
though nominally under the United
States government, the Crows have
q civic organization and a system of
democratic government very much
like our own, which they have not
copied but have worked cut through
untold centuries of experiments. They
are divided into six lodges or dis
tricts: Wyola, Black Lodge, Big
Horn, Lodge Grass, Reno and Pryor.
These units might be compared to
our separate states, each with a leader
chosen by the people, a leader we term
governor, and whom the Crows call
sub-chief. From time to time tribal
councils, comparable to our legislatures,
are held, presided over by the sub
chiefs and two tribal councilmen from
each district, chosen by the people
by vote to represent them, just as we
choose senators and representatives to
speak for us in congress. And, in those
tribal councils, laws, both wise and
unwise, are passed. Always young,
ambitious men among the Crows have
looked forward to a future of glory
for themselves, climbing step by step
up from warrior to tribal councilman,
to sub-chief, and thence to the high
est honor of all-chief of all the tribe.
The wise, far-sighted ones have work.

Cherokee Indian chief philosophically
altered her plans and promptly ex-
tended her itinerary to include New

thumb -smudged story of her travels

However, the futility of a 600-mile
hike doesn't strike the princess quite
so hard as it would you or me, since

ing travels have carried her into Cuba,
Canada, Mexico and to every State in

Took Up Life of Travel.

sins. whipcord breeches, a yellow polo
shirt with Upper, and with a SPAR
king beaded band across her fore
head the princess has tludged and
ridden back and forth many times
across the lands where her FORE
fathers hunted. The princess said she
took up her life of travel when, fail

could never be happy living in a city

Her experiences, sometimes humor-

bodied into a 22-page naIrative-her

clothes she wears, her speech is an
interesting mixture of Midwestern COL

SALEM, N. j., August 9.-Riches
Just beyond her reach, contrasted with
life of drudgery as a farmers wife
caused Mrs Marguerite F. Dolbow to
plan with Norman Driscoll the Staying
of her husband, Sheriff Hubert Lay
ton disclosed today.
Two fortunes aggregating $4,000
offlcials said, were withheld from the
2S-year -old school teacher because ot
her marriage to Harry Y. Dolbow
plodding tenant farmer, who was
beaten to death with the iron axle
of harrow as he did his chores last
Friday night.
The possibility that by disposing OF
him she might win her way to wealth
provided the main motive" for the
crime Sheriff Layton said.
II have verified the fact that the
sum of $4,000 was involved" he de-
clared. Il figure that it was the main
motive in the Staying of Dolbow."
Love Secondary Motive.
State police consider the revival of
a childhood love affair between Mrs.
Dolbow and Driscoll as a secondary
motive of the crime for which they
are charged.
Corp. Wilfred Dubbie, detailing
points in the alleged money motive, "
said the wife and her farmer friend
plotted to do away with Dolbow with
the intention of getting married and
gaining $4,000 left to Mrs. Dolbow
by an uncle
Mrs. Dolbow was unable to get the
money, Dubbie said, because it was
tied up in such way that Mrs. Dol
bows mother had entire discretion as
to when it was to be turned over to
her"
The mother, Mrs Genevieve Kirlin
Fox. never liked Dolbow," Dubbie ex-
planned, land did not let her daughter
have the money after she married
him."
Hoped to Share Trust Fund.
Dubbie disclosed they also hoped
eventually to share in another 100000
trust fund created by Mrs. Dolbow's
father, John Kirlin." Kirlin was a
wealthy South Jersey land owner.
That money is now in possession
