KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON 111 D... ( 7m ' wm Hiawatha By KEN McLEOD Those of us who as younsMers were brought up with Luiii el low's Immortal poem probably had little realization at the tune that Hiawatha was more than a poetic character; an actual prophet who sought and had success in weld intr the Iroquois into a unified body. Hiawatha was .so persistent In advancing his ides among his people that his own tribe banished him, so he went 10 live with an other. This tribe was more toler ant towards his ideas and finally agreed to come into a federation if the others would. Kventually Hi awatha prevailed upon five tribes who entered the agreement, they were Mohawk. Seneca, Cayuga. Onondaga and Oneida. The scheme that mawatna de vised was admirable; it was an unwritten constitution authorizing the election of a representative body and formulating rules for call ing It into session. The vote wns by tribes. If war was to be de clared, the vote must be unani mous. Disputes between tribes were to be arbitrated and not set tled by violence. This unwritten constitution was admired by colon ial statesmen because it gave each tribe almost complete independ ' race but at the same time bound It to respect the wishes of the others. This is why the white peo ple spoke of these tribes as "the Five Nations," recognizing that they were independent, but never theless were in league for defense and offense. Later, the Tuscarora entered into the confederacy upon the same terms, thus changing the designation to the Six Nations. The change from the designa tion Five Nations to Six Nations, about the year 1715, Is confusing to readers of Iroquolan history, be cause before that time we should apeak of them as the Five Nations, and afterward as the Six Nations. When the original five tribes formed their league their geo graphical position was In a line west to east, as Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida and Mohawk, were between Utica and Albany, the Seneca were west of Seneca Lake. The league symbolized them as living in one long house with a door on each end, and so they a poke of the Seneca as guardians of the western door and of the Mohawk as the guardlnns of the eastern door and also as the re ceivers of tribute. The Onondaga In the middle were spoken of as the keepers of the council file, also as keepers of the wampum because they kept the wampum belts which recorded treaties. The main Onondaga village was the capital or seat of government where all official meetings of the league were held. When the Tus carora moved up from the south they were given a nominal place In the council, but did not vote, being represented by the Oneida. The number of official delegates j varied for the different tribes, but the votes were cast by tribes, one vote to each. Hiawatha is considered the au thor and Initiator of this now-famous league. After his death, as the power of the Five Nations grew, his fame grew with it. until he was believed to be a supernatural rather than a natural man. Lat er the white people were disposed to look upon him as little short of n Indian god. It wns Longfellow who eventually brought Hiawatha Into the records of the white man since he chose the name lor his chief character in his beautiful poem. Intended by him as a work of fiction, a kind of historical novel in verse. This masterpiece of lit erary art Immortalized Hiawatha. In reality the famous league was a peaceful union lor Six Na tions only; lor their neighbors it meant war, and war characterized by frighttulnesj, the object ol uhich was power and glory and, to a less degree, proht. Neverthe less, students of politics and gov ernment have found much to ad mire In the working of the league. There is some historical evidence that knowledge ot the league milu enced the colonics in their firs) efforts to form a coniederacy and to later write a constitutionThus In the new world we find the seed ol a new life for a future Amer ica being sown by a red man who had visum yet a red man's love of freedom. iiiinli HHIs By REI.MAN MOWN 'For Hiil B'tle NEW YORK 'A It ws a Sun day umnunn m New Kuuliind, ;i:ul very hushed and still. F10111 time to time, a car will, clinknii; t h.r.n -aloshed through the luile town. A freight train whirled m the dis tance, and another an-weied wa a low moan. Then silence amtu; and the lonely quiet. Suddenly, like a Minbuis' 0f I1U1. Mc, the church bells btv.m link ing. The tones came rollini; ;ioui the street, across the common glis tening with snow, bouncing be tween the buildings, jnstline r.tch other in a woruWiiul hu una clangor. , One was a merry little bell, all crystal and silver, Another was sweet and serene. Still another i spoke with deep-throated amhor Jt.v, a serious, hard-working bell, i I put down the Sunday p.ner the floor of my hotel room 1- Ie?Hy wi knee-deep it) the mU tered pages and sat there, lis tening. It occurred to me that m seldom hear church bells m New York, or In most bic cities tri 1 you listen specially for them. Thcv have (o compete with too many other sounds. Through the window. I could srr people converging cn the church es. I wondered what it would be ; like. An instant later. I was put- , Imp on my hat and eo.it Ine churches in New Knglund are gems. They are usually Mimll. usually white, always exquisite in 1 I line and proportion. They have tall. J tapering spires and graceful doors. 1 H. lined g:.i-s uintius Klcam like jewels auamM the while. These aie simpc and beautiful churches. f And they arc American, deeply and truly American, a part of the i very fabric of our tradition. It is i hard to imagine a New Encland town without a while church on , the cd'io ol the common. 1 I sal welt buck and watched the I congregation be lure the service j began. I A woman reached around her hu.sbund. trying to smooth an un 1 ruiv cowlick in her son's hair; the boy looked at her with despair. Two tcen-K'4cri. on opposite sides of the aisle, stole furtive glances at each other. The inevitable late comer appeared, stumbling over fret, murmuring "sorry" all ihe way to the very middle of the pew. On a board beside the choir, the numbers of the hymns had been posted. The organist was playing a gentle, musing French song. Then came the first hymn, and to my immense delight, a man behind me sang counterpoint. As far back as I can remember, there was always a deep-voiced man in church who sang counterpoint or sometimes Just off-key. The whole moment was intense ly familiar. Suddenly, the years fell away and this became another church in another place and time. I thought of absent friends, but not in sorrow; they seemed closer now. A feeling of peace that is rare these days was in that church. The minister read a passage from St. Mark. "And he said unto them, the Sabbath was made for irtan; and not for the Sabbath." Then he began his sermon. He spoke simply and with a compel ling sincerity, and he had wisdom. When he finished, there was an other hymn, and a moment of prayer. As the people left, he stood beside the front door shaking hands. He looked like a happy man. and some of his happiness communicated Itself to them. I went back to the hotel and the Sunday -papers, feeling glad about the bells. , Spi ring By BAM UAWSUN NEW YORK (A There's a ru mor around that spring starts to day. That's none too soon for a lot of people. Just ns the sun is balanced on the Equator today, so 'is business on its high plateau. But spring starts the sap flow ing the trees und love flowing in a young man's fancy and wom enfolk flowing to the stores. Tills Is the season when wives decide that the living room car pet won't do any longer. And, as every husband knows, one pur chase of that sort invariably leads to another. Merchants will be glad to see the last of the snow drills disap pear. In February total retail trade was clocked at an an nual rate of 184 billion dollars. Bad weather in March hasn't lie! pod much, but a quickening is reported as Easier nears. Industrial output has been down little too. Adjusted seasonally, production was olt a bit in Janu ary and February from the rec ord high established in December. Some expect that the March fig ures will stick on the same plat eau. But with spring officially here to day, there's hope for a pickup in many lines. Spring is what the auto indus try counts on to bring the cus tomers back to the dealers' show rooms and lairi-ot'f workers back to the auto assembly lines. The steel industry reports that orders are already picking up. The j nulls have been busy all along, I but the flow of new orders is caus ing some si eel executives to re Ivaiup their predictions.

All this will make a tot of headlines, but perhaps not much light. When it makes its final deci sion Congress had better make a good guess for a pretty obvious reason: the Russiaiu are doing something now they weren't do hif! when the Truman adminis tration began this country's first huge foreign aid program under the name of the Marshal Plan back in the late 1040s. At that time, when the Russians couldn't think of anything better, they were being disagreeable and keeping their money at home. Now they've switched: they're all smiles and offering economic help. This puts them directly into competition with the United States in the field of foreign aid. The Russians and the Americans may look to Asians and the Arabs in the Middle East like suitors bring ing gifts. In short, there's some bidding going on, , But Eisenhower says this country isn't going to match every Soviet move with an Amer ican promise, or. a. he puts it: "we do not intend to permit spe cific Soviet moves to control our activities." ratal AMiliii By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D. A recent bulletin issued by one of the large life Insurance com panies contains three articles which seem particularly interesting. In one it was pointed out that there was a large increase in the population during the year 1955, in the United States. Including Uie armed forces overseas, the population of the United States reached 166,740.000 at the end of the year. This was an increase of over 2.800,000 during the year and represents, therefore the difference between the births and immigra tion to the United States and the deaths and emigration. The number of births was prin cipally responsible. Over 4.000,000 babies were born in 1955 and with favorable health t conditions, the births exceeded deaths by almost 2.570.0O0. It was Interesting", also, to note that all sections of the country did not share equally in growth of pop ulation. The average increase was 1.8 per cent for tire country as a whole but the pacific states showed the highest rate of increase, name 1 3.3 per cent. California's pop ulation alone expanded by Just un der three million since April, 1950 and now numbers over 13.000,000. The mountain slates also grew sub stantially during the past year and onlv six states snowco tewer resi dents at the end of 1955 than In April of 1950. Another article related to mar riages in the United States. It was estimated that there were over 1,51)0.000 of these in the year 1955. One would suspect that this high rate was partly a reflection of good economic conditions and, perhaps also, an earlier average age of ma riage. It is anticipated that the mar riage rate will be about the same in 1956 as in 1955 but that tt. will rise considerably alter 19fi0 as the large number of babies born during the war and' postwar years ben in to reach marriageable age. The third interesting article in this bulletin dealt with the in crease m accidental death during 1955. These figures are alarming. It was estimated that approximate ly 9?. 000 peoplp were fatally in jured during 1955, an increase of about 2.000 over 1954. Accidents took about two fifths as many lives as cancer. This increase appears to be prin cipally the result of motor vehicles. Deaths from motor vehicle acci dents climbed to just under 40,000 tit lit.Vi and reached the highest hgure in 14 years. Other than motor vehicle acci dents, there were many other causes for dualities, inluries in or about the home resulted In the death of something like 27.000 people. I don't know of anv conclusions that can be drawn from the article on population crowth. or that one i should conclude that one should or should not uet married ti nm the second aittcle. but certainly the last indicates that all of us .should I use extieme care in trving to re j dtice tVe (l ulitemnu toll from mo tor vehicle, home, and other kinds ol fatal accidents .Malonkov's Visil ny CHAR IKS M.

' Instead of confining himself to junketing about in his capacity o: minister for electric power station: Malenkov has been in constant communication with the Kremlin. He also has been in frcqucn consultation with Soviet Ambas sador Jacob Malik and Firs'. Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei A Gromyko. who went to London also bv coincidence to attend to day's disarmament talks. Yesterday. Malenkov rearranged his program to confer with Prime Minister Anthony Eden. London dh patches emphasized that thi visit was not one of oidinary courtesy. There was considerable surprise when the British Foreign Office announced on March 8 that Malen kov would lead a delegation of 11! Soviet scientists on a long-schedul ed tour of British power stations. The visit of the Soviet Scientist;; to Britain,' and a corresponding one by British scientists to Russia. was supposed to .be merely a technical one. Malenkov Is still one of the Kremlin inner circle. London dispatches still speak ol the "mystery" of Malenkov': visit. But it is quite logical to assume that the Kremlin did pick him for the trial ballcon role a role for which his increasingly balloon like figure fits him, physically. At the time his visit was an nounced, open hostility was being expressed in London toward the Bulganin-Krufhchev visit. The Bri tish government was worried over the possibility of anti-Soviet out breaks. As far as the situation goes, both the Kremlin and the British gov ernment must feel relieved. Malenkov has made quite a hit. He has broken away from his formidable escort to visit off schedule spots. He has patted babies on the head in the best grass-roots campaign tradition. He was cheered warmly at a football game be attended Saturday. But it happened also that three days after the announcement that Malenkov would visit London, riots broke out in Stalin's native Georgia against his unceremonious demo tion from Communist sainthooa The disclosure of the Khrushchev speech, and' of the riots which occurred later, came Just at the time of Malcnkov's ai rival. His presence in London will help take the heat off that embarrassing situation. It seems to be a bit oi good luck for him and for the Kremlin. IJiH'ta riiarlev By FRANK TRIPP Uncle Charley Smart thinks it's sort op hitting, Ike below the belt to harp on his sickness and con sign him to the junk pile because of it. "There's nothing neighbor ly, humane or Christian about, it," says he. "Among the folks where T work," says Uncle Charley, "when a man licks a sick spell everybody is glad and turns in to make it easy for him till he gfs his stride back. They don't twit him into a relapse telling him he's through and a has been." Maybe you'd better get ac quainted with "Uncle Charley." seeing as how I'm going to get most or my political opinions from him up to election time. He's a much better Judge of political hog wash than I am, and it looks like we'll have more than usual hogj to wasfc. The vat is full of 'em al ready, wallowing in their own slime. Just the other night Uncle Char ley was tipping me off on some thing to watch out for. "Boy the still calls me boy), watch for the battered old 'dinner pail' again," he said. Then I remembered its origin as a lad, the appeal to the voters favor via his stomach, like a housewife hangs on to her meal ticket. You see. Uncle Charley Is a practical old fellow who analyses the hogwash from a selfish view point, how it is going to affectt him. He's not an easy mark for the class hatred diatribes that pic ture prosperous American worker. as suffering, downtrodden serfs for whom every candidate's heart aches and bleeds. Once or maybe twice Uncle Char ley fell for it. It was part of his education, learning that when the returns came in, that was the end of most candidates' "heartaches," until they had to run again. So Uncle Charley has learned to swallow about one-tenth of the po litical twist that ties onto almost everything from March to Novem ber; view it a a national vaude ville show with a few star acts, but mostly the fin slipping of the trained scats and the braying of the jackasses trmg to gel into the spotlight. 1 His memory goes back to the "full dinner pail" as originally the symbol ot i.o Republican Fafiv; better known than its emblem, the cavile. moie nheit exploited than the elephant.
