For nearly five years he rode his
Communists in Governm e n t
charges through the headlines with
wild aplomb, Earring the Nation
and at least contributing to some
fundamental changes in its way Of
life.
Then. on December l, 1854. he
was condemned" by his colleagues
for unsenatorial conduct, and sud-

him. And he seemed tired, too. Only
occasionally did he show the reck-
less and venomous style that had
made him an object of terror, hatred
and admiration.

FIGHTING FREEDOM

Before the days Of municipal
fire departments, private fire
fighting companies or clubs were
equipped by private funds and
manned by volunteers. More or
less friendly riyalries sprang up
between such fire companies, and
each tried 10 Guido the other in
getting 10 a fire first.
In 1860 there we're two fire
companies, each with one wagon
in st. Paul They we're the Hope
Engine Company No. 1 and the
Minnehaha Engine Company No.
2. In October 20 Of that year the
two staged a contest 10 see which
could reach a fire first, be the
first 10 pump water and which
could shoot water the highest and
farthest Partisan feeling ran high
among the fans Of each company,
butw hen the pumping and water
shooting we're over the judges
declared that the Hope company
had won.
Immediately cries Of foul play
rang out among the Minnehaha
men. On october 30, a letter from
one William Golfer, a citizen and
also a member Of Mlnnehaha En-
CINE Company No. 2" appeared in
the "st. Paul Pioneer and Demo
crat." Golfer protested that the
decision Of the judges was I'M
fair" Not only had they made an
obviously prejudiced choice, he
said, but they had made no at
tempt to hide the fact that they
had bet on the outcome Of the con-
test.
This controversy moved the
newspapers editor 10 write a
soothing editorial In which he al
Owed that mistakes may have
been made on both sides, but that
he controversy being waged be-
.ween the respective friends Of the
Companies" was productive Of no
good" The editor pointed out that
iince the companies had been al
owed to choose the judges, they
ihould be willing TO abide by the
lecision. I'VE regret" he remark
I'd with surprising moderation,
that all betting was not left to
outside parties"

MINNESOTA AND mAwATHA

The setting OF Henry Wads-
worth Longfellow's famous poem,
the Song OF HiawAtha." is the
Lake Superior region. Gitche
Ounce, the shining big-sea water
Is Lake Superior.
A marker 20 be erected on the
North Shore will call attention 10
the lines from "Hlawatha" des-
cribing the lake.
But Longfellow never saw Lake
Superior. He learned about II and
the other Minnesota spots describ-
ed in his poem from the writings
OF others.
His main source OF information
about the Chippewa Indians liv-
ing near the great lake was the
writing OF Henry II. schoolcraft,
discoverer Of the source Of the
Mississippi sohoolcraft had lived
among those Indians for nearly
20 years. Longfellow combined In
"Hiawatha" authentic Chippewa
legends with those Of other tribes,
changing them TO suit his poetic
purposes Hiawatha, for example,
was not Chippewa. He was act
ually a famous Iroquois chief.
The love story Of Hiawatha and
Minnehaha Is undoubtedly a pro-
duct OF Longfellows imagination.

Founders Day dinner held at How
ard University, Saturday night,
the Rev. Galamison outlined the
situation as he saw II In Africa
today.
After spending four months In
the West Cameroons, West Africa,
the speaker concluded that there Is
a great lack Of understanding in
that area.
THE Africans are trying 10 get
the French out Of Africa" he said.
THE French are trying TO make
Frenchmen out Of Africans, and
the missionaries are trying 10 have
as little as possible TO do with
either side OF the question"
There Is no peace In that area,
he stated. Trouble Is growing and
the African people are still suffer
ing for freedom.
They say Africans are not ready
for self government, continued the
speaker. But every African has
conducted himself with dignity far
surprising that which we got from
some OF our own congreaamen here
az home.
The French Government has
been In total confusion for years.
so how can they sit in judgement
OF another nation--or how can
they contend that another nation
Is not ready for self-government7
The American government Is
the most imperialistic in the
world. 80 how can they Judge an
other nation. He spoke of Ameri.

Hawaii.
One virtue which Franch has
over America, according 10 the
speaker. France has mastered IN
the creative spirit Of the race
question"
There Is no discrimination In the
hotels, the theaters and in any
areas Of public gatherings in
France, Their only discrimination
Is cultural discrimination.
The Frenchmen are ashamed 10
have anyone think they harbor
racial prejudices.
The world Is so small, the audi.
enoe was reminded. that news gets
around very quickly. The case OF
Emmett TIN was well known IN
that area And the French are
happy TO tell the Africans that
This is what America does 10 IFS

This causes tho African people
to look with serious question ON
those who come from this country
