professor in the country. Opera
tors in the nations stock markets
know him as an unrelenting advo-
cate of scrupulous honesty IN Sc
curities transactions who pollced
the exchanges with an eagle eye
during his tenure as member and
chairman of SEC.
Money was scarce when Douglas
went to Whitman college at Walla
Walla. He got there on second
hand bike, paid his expenses by
doing odd jobs, and for time lived
in a tent to save rooming house
bills.
Upon graduation in 1920, he
taught school in Yakima for
two years. and then headed
east for a legal education. He
paid his way As far aS Chicago
by riding herd" on some
stockyards-bound sheep, and
rode the rods rs far rs Albany,
n. Y. The rest of the trip TO
New York was ny day coach.
Douglas put himself through
Columbia law school, finishing
second in his class. He did it by
tutoring and writing textbook.
The Wall street law firm of
Cravath, De Gersdorff. Swaine &
Wood gave him job. That was in
1925. What he learned about Wall
street in three years with that firm
helped formulate his philosophy
about the stock market and cor
poratc financing.
In 1928, he took teaching
post nj Columbia. Then he
went TO Yale law school, where
he served under Dean Robert
NJ. Hutchins.
Later Joseph T. Kennedy was
planning to resign as chairman of
the SEC and was looking for some
one to fill vacancy on the COM
mission. He read some papers by
Douglas on corporate reorganizs-
ton and bankruptcy. Although he
had never heard Of Douglas before.
he investigated him and offered
him the job. Douglas hoped al
the chance. When Kennedy's sue
cessor, James A. Lands. Quit TO
become law dean at Harvard,
Douglas was the White House
choice for the craftsmanship.
He married his boyhood sweet
heart. the former Mildred NJ.

crossing the plains would take
away their hunting grounds.
One Of the best examples Of the
Indian attitude Is the reception
given the party by r large camp
Of Assiniboines. There were sew
eral hundred In the camp headed
by two chiefs. Blue Thunder and
Little Thunder. After greetings
had been exchanged through the
interpreters and the peace pipe
smoked, one OF the old men, slow
" and with great dignity and flu
ency made this presentation Of the
case for the Indians:
MY father. you see us a.
we arc now. We are poor. We
have but few blankets and
little clothing. The Great
Father of Life, who made us
and gave us these lands TO
live upon, made the buffalo
and other game to afford us
substance. Their meat II our
only food. With their skins
we clothe ourselves and build
our lodges. They are our only
means of life, food, fuel and
clothing.
But l fear we shall soon be de-
priyed of these. Starvation and
cold will soon destroy us. The buff
falo are fast disappearing and be-
fore many years will be destroyed.
LAS the white man advances, our
means of life will grow less. We
Will soon have to seek protection
from the Great Father who can so
we'll supply IT,
my father, we hear that
great road IL to be made
through our country. We do
not know what this Is for. We
do not understand IL, hut we
think II win drive the buffalo
away. We like to sec our
white brothers. We like to
give them the hand Of friend
ship. but we know that as they
come, our game goes back.
What are we to do:'
To this simple but straightfor-
ward presentation, Gov. Stevens
replied that the Great Father
was very kind. He would see
that the Indians did not suf-
fer. II the white men drove
the game away. the Great Father
would see that other provision
was made for the Indians. The
Great Father would do more. If
the white men took the Indian
land the Great Father would pay
them for 1t and give them other
land on which they could remain
undisturbed.
1t sounded very fine Gov Stew
ems was sincere in his promises.
The Indians took him at his word.
Unfortunately not all the white
men nor even the government OBJ
served all the promises.
INSCRIPTIONS white men cheat
ed the Indians. They slaughtered
buffalo by the hundred thousand,
taking only the hide and leaving
the carcasses on the ground. The
Great Father being many miles
away did not realize what was
happening The Indians knew only
one way TO protect themselves.
That was to kill those who were
destroying their means of living

Is revealed the interesting episode
of their Fourth of July celebration
and a threatened Indian attack the
day previous. July 3. shortly after
the expedition had crossed the
Cheyenne river, reconnoitering
party in charge Of Lieut. Fred W.
Lander was riding several miles in
advance of the main train. AS he
looked off TO one side with pair
of field glasses one of the scouts
saw what appeared to be an Indian
head dress bobbing up and down in
the grass. Lieut.. Lander jumped
to the conclusion that Indians were
creeping through the grass pre-
pairing to attack the main train.
He ordered his men 10 charge
and begin firing as soon Ms
they were within range Of the
spot where the Indians had
been seen. They did, and when
they reached the spot they
found n skunk riddlcd with
bullets. II was the animals
tail instead Of n bunch Of eagle
feathers that the scout saw
with his glasses.
The celebration took place on
the banks of the Maple river where
camp was made late in the after
noon of July 4. A big supper had
been prepared with an extra allow
ance of refreshments" when II
was discovered that there was not
an American flag in the party.
Obviously 1t wouldn't be proper
celebration without an American
flag. But what to do?
The solution was found by
one Of the guides, Paul Bou-
lieu. He called for contribu-
lions Of red, white and blue
shirts which he tore Into strips
and scwed together to form
the stars and stripes. II did
not comply strictly In the
number Of stripes and stars
hut II served the purpose and
brought hearty cheer rs II
was raised ON pole In the
center Of the camp.
The expedition was now in the
Indian country and Gov. Stevens
began his duties as superintendent
Of Indian affairs. Through inter-
prefers he had picked on the way,
Gov. Stevens began to hold coun-
ellis wherever he came to an In
dian village. II Is regrettable
fact that the affairs of the Indians
in the Northwest could not have
been handled on the basis estab-
lished at these councils, The In
dians were friendly but fearful that
