all men, and by this sacrifice he
made for the Polish nation a
place in the heart of America,
Some of the best minds and pa
triots of England drew away
from the mother country and es
tablished for themselves new
leaders of the American Revolu
tion. They blazed a new trail
tor the establishment of Ameri
can freedom and American liber
ly for an English people. What
better example of true American
patriotism do those in this coun -
try have than the people of En
glish ancestry who made sacri
fices for American freedom?
From France came Lafayette,
followed by thousands of soldiers
with French blood in their veins.
They, too, fought for the new
American principle and made
a place for the French blood in
the great bulk of American citi
zenry. What better claim to the
American doctrine can any peo
ple have than the sons of Italy,
who gave to the world Christo
pher Columbus, the first to make
known to the Old Continent the
existence of this land favored of
God? After all. America is a
'and composed of all races and
of all creeds, who unite under
the doctrine of pure American
ism.
In closing I should like to
make one plea—that is to forget
these abstract barriers of race
and creed and come to the full
realization that we are Ameri
can citizens with the same pri
vileges of participating in the
glories of an ideal Government.
It cannot be ideal without your
help, and it can not continue to
be democratic without the in
terest of every American citi
zen.—Congressional Record.
ART OF LETTER WRITING
“Now, Miss Blog,” boomed
Earl Ohmer. president of the
Alaskan Glacier Sea Food Com
pany, to his blonde, frecklefaced
stenographer, * I want you to
understand that when I dictate
a letter I want you to write it
as I dictated, and not the way
you think it should be, b’gosh!
Understand?
“Yes, sir,” replied the freckled
Blogg, meekly.
“All right—take a letter,” said
his worship the mayor.
The next morning, O. U.
Squeez, of the Squeez Flexible
Soap Co., received the following:
Mr. O. K. or A. J. Something,
look it up, Squeez, president of
the Squeez, what a name, Flex
ible Soap Co., the gyps, Detroit—
that’s in Michigan, isn’t it?
“Dear Mr. Squeez, ’emmm;
You are a Hell of a business
man. No, start over. He’s a
crook but I can’t insult him or
he’ll sue me. That last shipment
of soap you sent us was of in
ferior quality and I want you to
understand. Ah, no, scratch
that. I want you to understand
Ah, that unless you can ship,
furnish, ship no, furnish us with
your regular soap, then you
needn’t ship us any more, period
or what the heck ever the gram
ar is, and please pull down your
skirt. This damned cigar is out
again, pardon me. And further
more, where was I? Nice bob you
have. Paragraph The soap you
sent us was not fit to wash dish
es, no make that dog with com
ma, let alone the laundry, and
we’re sending it back period
Yours truly. Read that over, no
never mind; I won’t waste any
more time on that storage egg.
I’ll look at the carbon tomorrow
Just sign my name. We must gc
out to lunch soon, eh?”

pery real purpose of cloaking

“Everything being equal, Fick

defendants in the Germa ntrials

groups in San Francisco is the
only thing that saved him from

In his letter to Senator Schall
•VTonney says:
“I sincerely hope that you will
prosecute this matter to the lim
it of your ability, not so much
to injure others but to show the
depths that some unscrupulous
public officials will stoop to ac
complish their purpose, for it
was Ficker’t plan to use my gal

California. My one hope is to be

false charge. Mere freedom
means nothing with the finger

me for the rest of my life.”
ONE INSTANCE OF INJUSTICE
From Good House Keeping
Continud from last week.
j Mrs. Stella M. Atwood, whom
'ihe Indians lovingly call “Moth
er,” in gratitude for all she has
cione for them through 12 years
of consecrated effort, told me in
California last summer of the
following occurrences:
“Qne day the Navajoes wired
me to come. Come on the next
train! They needed help. Vast
tracts of land belonging to them
had been leased to a white cattle
man without their consent, and
the Indians’ cattle were to be
put off at once. When I got
there I found that the captain
at Fort Wingate had leased 11,
COO acres of the Navajo grazing
land to this white cattleman for
3 dollar a year! This part of the
leservation had been taken over
by the War Department during
the war. It was still a military
Iieservation, the officer claimed.
“He had no right to take such
a step, in any case, without com
petitive bids. A court-martial
vvas possible. I kept the wires to
Washington hot. The white cat
tleman had himself made a de
puty sheriff and was planning to
put the Indians’ cattle off in 24
hours. The Indians’ distress was
terrible! This land had been
the grazing ground of the Nava
3os for generations. There was
no place for them to go. Some
of them were old scouts, on pen
sions from the Government.
“They came streaming down
Sunday morning to confer with
me, and we were just ready to
open council meeting when an
Indian came galloping across the
plain waving a telegram. It was
from the War Department. A
icprieve! ‘Suspend all opera
tions until investigation.’ It was
the result of my wires, as chair
man of the Indian welfare di
vision of the Federated Women’s
Clubs. The white man swung up
on his horse and rode away. He
• was never heard from again.”
On another occasion, in 1924,
just after the Indians had been
made citizens, Mrs. Atwood was
summoned in desperate haste
to the Crow Reservation in
Montana. The Indians inform
ed her in their wires that the
county authorities had come in
without their approval and ar
ranged to corral all the horses or
the reservation and kill then
and sell their hides for 65 cento
apiece to pay the Indians’ taxes
“I happened to know,” saic
; Mrs. Atwood, “that neither j
l trust fund nor anything bough
: with a trust fund is taxable, anc
t I also knew that the burden o
? proof would lie with the county
3 So I wired to the Indians to ge
i an attorney, promising I woul<
’ come at once.
r “When I got to the Crow Re
servation I was met by an Indiai
4
who was then Republican nom
inee for sheriff of Big Horn
County. With him was Robert
Yellowtail, a brilliant, educated
Indian who had just been defeat
ed by a very few votes in the pri
maries for Congress. These were
highly intelligent men, educated
men, able to fill public office.
They took me up to their attor
ney. He said he had not a doubt
i.rthe world but that an injunc
tion would be granted. The le
gal action was pressed and the
Indians’ horses were saved.
“The Indians there told me of
the awful tyranny and oppres
sion under which they were liv
ing. They described how they
had tried to get a petition to
Washington asking the removal
ot the superintendent. The peti
tion had, of course, to go thru
his hands. So during a political
meeting on the agency grounds
the Indians called the superin
tendent out and presented the
petition to him in the presence
of the whole meeting. He was
so enraged that he tore it up,
j then and there, and trampled it
i under foot.
“At which the attorney gener
al of the State arose in deep in
dignation, protesting sternly
against this outrage.
“ ‘I could scarcely believe my
eyes,’ he said, ‘when I saw the
superintendent of the reservation
insult this gathering as he has
done this day. * * * As attorney
general, one of the chief law of
ificers of Montana, I have never
before witnessed such conduct.
i
i
! It is cases of this kin—utter de
fiance of the rights <?f people—
which cultivate violence. In
tearing up that piece of paper,
that petition representing your
! wshes, he ignores you. The right
j of petition by dependent people
has always been recognized. It
was used by our forefathers to
present their grievances. The
Government teaches the right of
petition. He should have taken
your petition, as he is your re
presentative, and sent it, with
out comment to Washington.’ ”
On the Bad River Reservation
at Odanah, Wis., Rev. E. P.
Wheeler, a white missionary who
grew up on that reservation
among the Chippewas, told me
briefly how the Indians there
had been stripped of their tim
ber.
“The lumber companies, thru
connivance of the Government
Indian authorities, got the pri
vilege of cutting this Indian tim
ber as fast as their big plants
could cut it and giving the In
dians a dole which did them no
good and great harm, crippling
their initiative and defeating
one purpose of the reservaton—
the industrial education of the
Indian. I have seen this reser
vation decline from wealth to
Pitiful poverty. The adult In
dians have lost all their timber.
Their money for it is about gone.
Soon they wll be left stranded.
Next winter some of these
Indian here will go hungry.’’
