STANDING BEAR WINS LIBERTY
BY HABEAS CORPUS WRIT
/A NCE upon a time a writ of habeas
V_/ corpus was invoked in behalf of
an Indian and the decision in his case
marked a new epoch in the conduct of
our Indian affairs. That man was
Standing Bear (Mon-chu-non-zhln),
chief of the Poncas.
In 1877 the government decided to
remove Standing Bear’s people from
their ancestral homes in Nebraska to
Indian Territory. In spite of his op¬
position, he and nine other chiefs were
taken south to choose a reservation.
They would not select a place, where¬
upon the agent refused them trans¬
portation home.
At night they slept in haystacks,
shivering wfth the cold. Their only
food was raw corn which they found
in the fields. Their moccasins wore
out. After BO days they reached the
Otoe reservation in Nebraska and as
they walked into the agent’s office
they left bloody footprints on the
floor. Ten days later they rode
wearily Into their home camp on»
ponies which the Otoes had given
them.
In their absence an official of the
Indian department arrived to remove
the Poncas by force. Accepting the
inevitable, Standing Bear prepared to
retrace his steps. After a terrible
journey, during which two of Standing
Bear’s children died, the discouraged
Poncas settled in their new homes.
Within a year a third of the tribe per¬
ished. Then Standing Bear’s favorite
son died. In January, 1879, he took
the bones of his sons, and started
once more to Nebraska.
Two months later they arrived desti¬
tute at the Omaha reservation. They
borrowed land and seed from the
Omahas and were preparing to put in
a crop when soldiers appeared to ar¬
rest and return them to Indian Ter¬
ritory. Then public sentiment Inter¬
vened. Two white lawyers offered to
defend the Poncas and sued out a
writ of habeas corpus.
Although attorneys for the Indian
department contended that Indians
were “not persons within the meaning
of the law," Judge Dundy ruled against
them and ordered the prisoners re¬
leased. “Once I avenged my wrongs
with the tomahawk,” said Standing
Bear," but the white man’s way is bet¬
ter. I lay the tomahawk down for¬
ever."
By this time Standing Bear’s case
had attracted national attention and
a senate investigation of the Ponca re¬
moval resulted in restoring them to
their old homes. Here September 6,
1008, Standing Bear died at the age
of eighty years.

THE IRON COURAGE OF CHIEF
DULL KNIFE
/AN THE morning of September 10,
V-F 1878, western military telegraph
wires were humming with the news
“Dull Knife has jumped the reserva¬
tion." Army officers who had fought
him knew what this meant. For Morn¬
ing Star (Wo-he-hiv)—Dull Knife was
the translation of his Sioux name
had proved his mettle one cold win¬
ter morning in 1877 when Col. Ranald
Mackenzie attacked his camp so sud¬
denly that the Cheyennes could only
snatch up their rifles und put on their
moccasins before the soldiers were up¬
on them. All that bitter day, with
the thermometer 20 below zero, these
naked warriors had fought off Macken¬
zie until their women and children
had escaped.
After Dull Knife surrendered, he
and his people were sent to Indian
Territory where they rapidly sickened
and died, until two-thirds of theijj num¬
ber had perished. In vain Dull Knife
appealed to the government to return
his people to their old homes. Fi¬
nally in desperation he and Little
Wolf, the junior war chief, resolved
to lead them from their hated reser¬
vation.
But Dull Knife and a part of the
tribe were captured. They were tak¬
en to Fort Robinson, Neb., and Im¬
prisoned in an old barracks. Then
they were told that they must be re¬
turned to Indian Territory. Dull
Knife, a majestic figure in spite of his
worn moccasins and a ragged blanket,
said: “Tell the Great Father that
Dull Knife and his people ask only
to end their days in the North, where
they were born. Tell them we want
no more war. But if he tries to send
us back, we will butcher each other
with our own knives! I have spoken
On January 5, 1879, the Indians re¬
fused to start south.
On the fifth night they made a des¬
perate attempt to escape. Armed with
& few knives and guns they tried to
cut their way through the soldiers,
who swarmed about them. Some were
shot down; others, among them, Dull.
Knife, escaped. After 18 days of wan¬
dering, during which they kept alive
by eating their moccasins and a few
roots, Dull Knife and his immediate
family reached the camps of his
friends, the Siouxu
After four years the old chief was
allowed to return to his home in Mon¬
tana, where he died in 1885. He lies

TUBERCULOSIS AND
THE WQ8KINS MAN
Splendid Work for Labor Unions.
All workers on machines realize
that the machine, to do its maximum
work, must be kept in perfect re¬
pair, and every effort is made to keep
it so, but only a few persons seem to
apply the same logic to that most
wonderful machine, the Human Body.
Why will people, otherwise intelli¬
gent, disregard all rules of Nature,
every law of hygiene, in their treat
ment of the body? Ordinary mach :
inery can be placed, but one cannot
buy another body if this is worn out.
An abused stomach may never be
polished up so that it is as good as
new, an eye that is punctured cannot
be replaced as is a broken bulb. A
lung affected with Tuberculosis can
be cured, but the lung tissue which
is damaged is not replaced by new
lung tissue, but by scar tissue which
does not function as lung tissue, but
rather at a patch that holds the re¬
maining lung tissue together so that
it may function.
The working man must bear always
in mind that it Is best, of course, to
prevent injury to the body machine,
but that should such injury occur, im¬
mediate steps should be taken to re¬
pair the waste in health, *as in ma¬
chinery, before the break becomes
serious.
The writer is especially interested
in the waste due to Tuberculosis. Tu
berculosis is the most frequent and
widespread of all the causes of death,
and takes it toll in the period of
greatest usefulness, between the ages
of 15 and 50. About 10 per cent of
all deaths are due to this disease.
Tuberculosis is, to a great extent, a
class disease; it is more prevalent
among the poor than the well-to-do,
so that it is a sociological problem as
well as a medical one; it is a disease
that all classes must join to fight.
The Labor Unions, have, or should
have, a special interest in the Anti
Tuberculosis Crusade. The laboring
people are sufferers to a large degree
from the waste due to this scourge.
Do the Unions take sufficiently ac
tive part in the Crusade? The various
Unions could do an immense amount
of good for their members if they
would help in the sale of Tubercu¬
losis Seals; if every member were
brought to realize that early symp¬
toms of the disease are not stormy in
their onset, but insidious; if they
would bring the force of their organ¬
izations to bear upon the legislators
from their districts to persuade them
of the necessity of appropriating suf¬
ficient funds to properly care for
those persons affected with Tubercu¬
losis.
The Printing Pressmen’s and As¬
sistants’ Union of North America, the
Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union, the
Workmen’s Central Circle of New York,’ the
Federation of Labor of A1
bany, the International Typographical
Union, have established Sanatoriams
for their members. Other Unions
might do well to follow their example.
Nothing can further the cause ol
the working men better than improv
ed health, and nothing so increase
their happiness.
LONGEVITY
It is worthy of interest that the life
span has been steadily increasing and
with it life efficiency. According tc
figures from the Bureau of Census
and other reliable sources, the com
plete expectation of life in the orig¬
inal registration states in 1901 was
49.2, in 1910 it was 51.5 and in 1920
it was 54.3. It will thus be seen that
nearly five years have been added tc
the average duration of life in the
past twenty years, or an average of
three months every year.
It has been held that this, in a great
measure, has been due to the marked
decrease in the death rate of acute in
fectious diseases through a better un¬
derstanding of their cause and pre
vention. It is worthy of note, how
ever, that the chronic degenerative
diseases that through the first decade
shown quite a marked decrease. It
is interesting to know that tubercu¬
losis has shown the greatest decline
of any because of the active organized
efforts for its control. From what has
been accomplished in this disease
through education of the masses ol
the people as to its cause and pre
vention we may infer that like results
can be secured by rational application
of a general publicity program for
Brights. Diabetes and Heart Disease
for these are more amenable to con
trol through right means of living
than is Tuberculosis.
The greatest killing disease is Syph
ills. It should be promptly and
continuously treated until cured in
ever y case. It is said that 10 per cent
of all our marriages involve a synhil
itic. It is a disease that is directly
is transmitted often from mother to child, ft
accidentally contracted The

Did You Get the Bottom
Price, After All?
The man who buys a “long discount” tire usually finds himself
troubled by the above question.
Did he pay less for the tire than his neighbor might have paid, or
actually did he pay more?
Did he get the bottom price, when all is said and done, or could he
perhaps have driven a sharper bargain?
Was the net price really more than he might have had to pay for a
tire of established reputation and value?
In the belief that the average motorist prefers a frank and open
transaction, we built the new Goodyear Cross-Rib Tread Cord and
discounted the “discount” in advance.
Instead of listing it at a high price, to enable the dealer to attract
you with a so-called “long discount,” we list it as low as we
profitably can.
We build it of high-grade long-staple cotton, using the patented
Goodyear method of group-ply construction, and sell it at a lower
price than you are asked to pay for many “long discount” tires of
unknown worth.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE
USE OF CALCIUM ARSENATE
Just before the squares of the cotton
are large enough for the weevils to
puncture and deposit their eggs, which
is usually about the time the first cot¬
ton bloom appears in the field, if you
have any weevils, the cotton should be
dusted twice at an interval of three to
four days. Then watch your field care¬
fully, and when you find infested spots,
if there are any, dust these spots two or
three times at about three day intervals,
and pick up each time All of the punc¬
tured squares. Later, when you find the
weevils infesting your field, dust the
cotton every five or six days.
Should the infestation be heavy, dust
every four days for three or four dust¬
ings. or until the weevil is under con¬
trol.
If the weather is dry it is best to
continue to dust so that the boll weevil
will be under control should wet weath¬
er set in.
If the weather is wet, continue to
dust, as dusting in wet weather is very
effective unless there comes a hard rain
immediately after the application.
Should this happen, repeat the applica¬
tion.
Continue your applications during the
season until the cotton is matured be¬
yond damage from the weevil.
With an average infestation we rec¬
ommend that the farmers supply them¬
selves with 25 to 35 pounds of dust per
acre for the season.
. Dust at night or early in the morning
when the.air is calm. The atmospheric
conditions are much better at this time
for success.
Use an average of about 5 pounds of
calcium arsenate per acre. It will re¬
quire more when the cotton is large,
and less when cotton is small.
A hand gun is very satisfactory for a
small acreage and for dusting infested
spots. A two-row or mule-back duster
is good for a larger acreage and still
better for a larger acreage is the three
row traction duster. The Board has al- I
chines. ready sent If out a list of approved ma- j
you have not received one, j
you can get this list be writing to the
State Board of Entomology. Atlanta, Ga
If you will dust carefully and prop¬
erly, applying it as directed, you will
have success. Do it right and succeed.
