MORRIS, THE INDIAN. The attitude of the Oregonian toward Ram Morris, the Indian baseballlst for going on a little Jag, is near unto persecution. Locally and editorially It hag attacked the defenseless Indian, and in poetry and in prose written of his bacchanalian escapade. The even inn Morris over imbibed and holljered out on Portland's quiet streets, there were probably a wore or more of others slujnberlng oft a worse "soak" beneath the tables, but Morris is an Indian and the only one who receives mention. Get ting drunk Is indefensible but it is hard to see that it is any worse for a Nez Pierces Indian than any other person. That Morris was able to "hol ler" is evidence that he was not so far gone as others. He hadn't yet passed the "hollerin" Btage. That he is some what more demonstrative than some drinkers is merely a racial question Then the fact Uiat Morris got drunk does not necessarily mean that he is an irretrievably lost Indian. "White men become intoxicated and get over it, sometimes, always if whisky is put be yond their reach. VMorris may never drink again if the Oregonian poet will leuveblm alone. The Portland paper is also too severe in its strictures of the superintendent of the Chemawa Indian training school for permitting Morris, a student of that Institution, to Join a baseball team. The fact is Superintendent Potter is one of the best men to handlelndlans in the government service. He has built Chemawa up to fourth' place among the Indian schools of the nation and there is promise of its taking third place soon. Under his superlntendency there has been lacking the wrangling'that charac terlzed proceeding administrations and attendance has gradually Increased since he took charge. Mr. Potter is a close student of Indian character and bis method of educating and developing them has been In the main, successful. It is a mistake to take the young In dian from the reservation and expect to develop and aiake the mogt of him by holding him down in close confine ment to a college curriculum.

Henry Brown of Columbia county is an example. He acquired a fair education and after a few years became editor of the Chemawa American, a paper of some literary merit. But as Brown pro greased In his studies he weakened In body and died over a year ago of con sumption. Before his death Brown said: "Superintendent Irwin found me down on the Columbia river and drag ged me Into school, but I don't know that I'm any happier or better oft for it." ' Ages of the unfettered freedom of forest and plain have unfitted the In dian for sedentary life. He is not yet ready to accept the customs in full of the Caucasian. For him athletics have more fascination than the intracies of geometery, the utility of algebra, the niceties of rhetoric, as taught in col leges. His ancestors had a love for paint, feathers, beads and sports, and I bright uniforms, brass bands and ath letic sports has charms for the young Indian today. It Is through these Superintendent Potter of Chemawa In dian Training School is reaching his pupils and they are making better pro gress than ever before. It is no great surprise to Superintendent Potter, or any one else, that Sam Morris partook of firewater in Portland. Mr. Potter considered well the matter of allowing Morris to sign with the Brown baseball team, and he made no mistake In doing It. Morris was getting good wages and w& a source of inspiration to other students of the school, and Mr. Potter believed as he had a right to expect, th.tt the management of the baseball team would look after the sobriety of Morris as well as the rest of the team. That he was guilty of a common breach of etiquette, It is safe to assume, wl'l not stagger Superintendent Potter. Morris Is a good Indian yet and It is unfair to the cause of the Indian to put his picture in the paper and write Uoetry about it every time the Nez Pierces Indian lakes a drink.
