LO, TUB POOR INDIAN
We have enjoyed the pleasure and privilege during: the past
two days of meeting- and talking with several of the outstand
ing members of tribes of Indians here to participate in the
, festivities attendant upon the Semi-Centennial celebration.
. And when we say "pleasure and privilege" we use those two
words with all the particular expression they are inteded to
imply.
The average individual does not know the Indian of today
His opinion of the present day "redskin" is formed almost
. entirely upon occasional opportunity of visits to Indian camps
such festivities as here this week or upon the character he
sees upon the screen or reads of in so-called "wild west" lit
erature. And front neither of these can the general public
gain a true conception of the real life of the Indian of today.
ine celebration camp is a show at which is given a represen
tation of the life of the tribes of yesterday the film or story
is usually an exaggerated, highly colored version builded to
meet the imaginative mind of the public who will pay to see
or read.
So, when Mr. and Mrs. John Public and the little Publics,
visit the Indian encampment today, they wander about in ex
cited ecstasy of mingling with wild tribesmen and vision
at the feasting tables rare concoctions of "herbs and dog
meat," with the latter in reality nothing more than humble
but tasty beef stew cooked with spinach. In affected gut
tural voice with a tinge of pidgin English, Pappa Public as
tounds his family in his ability to speak the native language
by poking his head into a convenient tepee with some such
exclamation of "Jlow, skookum, chief! Ketchum heap nice
pappoosc, eh V" The fact that this snappy greeting of his
idea of Indian tongue meets with little or no reply other than
a short grunt, sets him back not at all but only adds to his
convincement that this "redskin," his squaw and family are
the real thing as he conceives them in his mind.
He doesn't know that tho reason behind this attitude and
show of the Indian toward his visitors is only his natural and
inherent love of play. That in his advanced and tremendously
improved life and livinir of todav tho T nrliiin Rt.il) Invnu it
play a part in a show and his enjoyment of the whole affair
unto himself is groat, indued.
What a surprise and setback to the Publics generally did
they but realize the actual fact that beneath this cover of
seeming indifference and lack of understanding upon the
part of the Indian they see, there exists in hundreds and
hundreds of cases today a highly educated mind in close and
absorbing contact with tho goings on of the times. Keen,
calculating individuals are many of the present day Indians
with an ability to discuss matters of social and political econ
omy in a manner that could llllfc MlO nvov.nm nf limit. iil.iLi
friends to rout and shame and leave tho latter dumfounded
and confounded in argument on the same.

many, many Indians who are graduates of some of tho leading
colleges and universities of our country. This, of course more
.x'li.iHL-i " uiu iiiesenu generalion, and yet much
of that knowledge acquired and gained has been willingly
absorlwd in turn by the elders.
Trips such as this to I,a Grande are the fun and play of
the present day Indian. It is his vacation, the same as we
find m resorts in mountain or at seaside. Ho loves to eiirrv
on the spirit of his forefathers in camp life and color to get
away from the humdrum that comes into his modern day hfe
of mingling and participating in the business of farmino- or
profession in which he has become ably trained to exist And
it must be great I un, particularly in that laugh which he gr

Philip Jones;, a Cayujse, 41s an
other prominent Indian here who
participates In all important affaire
of the reservation and was elected
the first president of the general
council, an organization whoso
members are composed of tribes to
discuss all business matters of In
terest to the Indians.
In the olden days the chiefs called
together the warriors who with bow
and arrow; and) spearj went forth
In battle. Later the Indians se
cured rifles and the Inborn flehtlnir
ability of the Indian and hla pa
triotism to his country today was
ably demonstrated In the recent
world war when great numbers of
Indiana were found In the American
lighting forces. ,
Among the Indians here this week
are: Orover Mlnthorn. a grandson
of the late Mrs. Black Hawk and
lifelong friend of Mr. and Mrs. Hw
oert Anderson of this city. Orover
saw service with the 77th division
and is one of the survivors of the
Lost Battalion. Joseph O, Hart, an-
otner cayuse, who saw nctlve aerv
lco on the front line and was cited
with tho Croix de Guerre; Gilbert
H. Connor, direct descendant of
Chief Joseph, who saw scrvlco in
the U. S. navy and was 16 months
in the troop transport service. Wll-
klns Williams, Andrew Jackson and
Koy Mclntyro are others here this
week, who oro In) the American

fnct of information that among
many here today and the Indians
generally there ore a great number

explanation given by one of tho In

officials said.
Federal mediators, faced with the
ultimatum of the strikers that they
would defer peace negotiations until
assured they would "not be shot like
dogs," worked feverishly to stem the
rising tide of Indignation among the
truck drivers. '
Yesterday's violence occurred over
movement of truck merchandise.
Miles Dunne, chief leader of the
strikers .asked for a general strike.
He appealed to all men engaged In
the transportation Industry here to
refuse to "turn a wheel."
