THE LAST OF A RACE
Because it compels a comparison
between the conditions which he wit-
nessed in his closing years and those
which he saw in his early prime, the
death of Crazy Snake, the aged Creek
chief, will be of interest to the coun
try. If he himself knew his exact
age he never told it to anybody, but
he was active as fighter long before
the opening of the civil war. His
own tribe belongs to the five civilized
clans who were located in the Indian
Territory, how the State of Oklahoma
mree-iourins 01 a century ago, dui
civilization, or the thin veneer of deco
rum superimposed over savagery
which masqueraded under the name
in the Old Indian Territory, had no
attractions for Crazy Snake. Rather
was he, so far aa circumstances per
mitted, a spiritual descendant of
Weatherford, Osceola, and the rest
of the fighters produced by the great
Muskogee confederation of Georgia,
Florida and Alabama, of a century
ago.
When in 1908, Crazy Snake raised
his little rebellion against the accept-:
ance of his tribe of the conditions
drawn up by the white man for land
allotment and government under white
man's. law, he found that the situa
tion had changed since the days when
he could go on the warpath with a
powerful band behind him whenever
the whim seized him. His rising at
tracted comparatively few of his tribe.
For a few weeks he kept the field,
with some of the Oklahoma militia
on his track, and when his band grad
ually dispersd. His tribe had lost
its ''old fighting edge',' because there
was no longer excuse or incentive to
fight. Railroads were running through
their region. The small band of im
placables to which he belonged were
only a little oasis of savagery in a
vast sea of civilization. His tribe hud
lost th'i. lom itia habit The fronl;er
had vanished, the buffalo was extinct,
and great commonwealths confronted
them whichever way they turned.
In Crazy Snake's own State of Ok
lahoma, which was making, its advent
just as the old Creek reactionary was
starting on his last year foray, are
1,700,000 people. Among them are
117,000 Indians, all except 15,000 or
16,000 of which, belonged to the five
clans Cherokees, Choctaws, Chicka
saws, Creeks and Seminols which he
tried to array against the new order
Indians who are engaged in pursuits of
the white man. Among them are mer
chants, farmers, bankers, miners,
stock raisers and lawyers. Three of
them Senator Curtis of Kansas and
Senator Owen and Representative
Carter of Oklahoma are in Congress
and assist in making the laws for
white men and red. The day of King
Philip, Pontaic, Tecumseh, and Black
Hawk had passed when Crazy Snake
started on his last raid, , and even
Red Cloud and Sitting Bull had been
knocked obsolete. '
