travel 20.S02 miles before they return
to Philadelphia on Dec. 5 next and
will visit eighty-nine reservations and
1G3 tribes. Each tribe will be present
ed with a large American fl;ig, the gift
of Mr. Wanamaker, and for the first
time in the history of their race these
bronze men will have a flag of their
own.
The Indian has been well called "a
man without a country," and, though
every reservation has Its government
office over which the stars and stripes
flutter, no one has ever seen Old Glory
raised over a foot of the soil reserved
for the Indians by their conquerors.
At the ceremonies uttewlinir the
presentation of the flags the Indians
are having an opportunity to hear the
message which the great white fa
ther. President Tuft, delivered to the
thirty-three chiefs on Washington's
birthday. Indian interpreters are read
ing this message to the red men.
To give in detail the Itinerary of the
expedition would exhaust both patience
and space. Suffice it to say that prac
tically every state in the west and
south is being visited and that all
methods of locomotion, from the twen
tieth century "Iron horse" to the eight
eenth century stagecoach, are being ex
perienced by the white men, smoking
the pipe of peace with their aboriginal
brothers.
Although the Indians have succumb
ed before the white men nice snow he

many persons to know that there are
still 350,000 of the original owners of
America within its shores, this in
cluding half breeds as well as the full

The Indian is fast disappearing. He
fore he Is extinct or entirely assimi
lated by the stronger race that has
conquered him it is the praiseworthy
purpose of Mr. Wanamaker and his
associates to make some amends for
the hard knocks be has had from the
white race in the past, so that "when
we meet him later on over the great
divide we shall not have to make an
accounting to him for our perfidy and
cruelty to his people."
