Investigation, by the government of
the charges aud counter charges that
have arisen over the Cheyenne run
dance near Eagle City, Okla., last
July; In which Prof. James Moonry, of
he Smithsonian institution, anrt Dr.
'3orge Horsey, of Field's Columbian
vjseum, were accused individually of
-vtug paid an Indian the sum of $15
undergo the torture ceremony, may
;ult in the permanent prohibition of
aun dance among the Indian tribes
i Oklahoma.
The sun dance is a religious cere
mony and probably was as sacred to
Indians in earlier days as are the
teachings of Christ to Christians of
this 'day. It has vicious and immoral
rites, however, of which the public
has H: tie knowledge. These rites are
a phase of phalllclsm, cannot be dlf
cu.ssed In print, and for that reason
are known mnly to persons who have
made personal investigations. This
phallic ceremony was observed at the
sun dance at Calumet, Okia., In 1902,
and In all probability at the last
dance. The Indians regard the cere
mony as "medicine" or sacred, and of
fer no protest. This one feature of
the sun dance should cause the gov
ernment to forbid it.
The snn cance Is vrtually a bis
camp meeting, wheh every member of
t ho tribe is supposed to attend. In
tha old days the "dog" soldiers, or
Indians who enforced camp dlsc'pline
under authority of the chiefs, pun
ished a warrior who refused to at
tend the sun dance by shooting his po
nies and cutting down his lodie. Last
summer au Indian who has an allot
ment near the South Canadian de
clined to go to the dance. The pro
moters tf the dance dare not destroy
his property, but this Indian ever
since has been ostracised socially by
many members of the tribe.
Attendance at the dance means a
month's absence from his allotment
and bankruptcy to the average In
dian. They neglect their live stock
and crops, such as they have, and

spend all the money they can bor
row. Interest in the sun dance among
the Cheyenne and Arapahoes had
waned gradually till about three years
ago, when it was revived through the
m.sinterpretatlon of a portion of the
annual report of Maj. Stouch, then
tl:e!r agent. Maj. Stouch expressed
the opinion that the old Indians,
w!:oue civilization was hopeless, should
be permitted to lioid an annual sun
dance, as it pos?es:ed a religious sig
nificance for them, and was their mon
Eolemn form of worshiping the Great
Spirit, the Indians' conception of God.
His recommendation was distorted,
and the news spread among the In
dians that the officials in Washington
wished them to revive the sun dance.
The prafters In the tribes saw an
opportunity to make money by charg
ing admission, and the dance was soon
in full blast. A few of the other In
dians saw the futility of reviving tbe
dance. An old cliie. said that he could
not understand the policy of the of
ficials in Washington.
"Once," he said, "we were told that
Hie sun dance was bad, and that the
Indian should follow a new way, the
white man's wty. We started on the
white man's way, and then wo were
told that tbe Indians' way was not
crooked, and that we could follow it
for a while. The ways seem to have
crossed. Which one shall we fol
low?" The Kansas City Star Btates that the
purpose and significance of the sun
danco In the olu days may be seen
m this prayer to the Great Spirit de
livered by the noted Chief Liftle
Haven, at the beginning of a sun dance
many years ago, the transition being
given by a man who heard the pray,
er: "We have disobeyed our 'medl
cine;' our tribe has :.ot followed the
straight way; sickness and hunger
have come to our women and children
and many have died,
"Do not let the punishment fall up
on the women and children who are
weak and unable to bear It. Hurt not
our young men who are strong and
willing to undergo penance and tor
ture that health and plenty may be
restored to the tribe. The buffalo are
gone, but we followed crooked ways,
and becau.se of our bad hearts the
K&me was iann from us. Hear us
beheld the torture of our young men
p.r.d relieve our afflictions."

Bishop Glennonto Be Head of St.
Louis Archdiocese.

M ill Ite the Ynnnitcat Man In North
AtiM-rli'H to Opi-u;i- Ho ttxnlteii

In the Church.
Most Hov. John Joseph Glennon, who
became archbishop of the uiocese uf
Bt. Louis u;on i he dtath of Archbishop
Kain, is one of the most interesting fig
ures in th Komaa Catholic church in
America.
Although only 41 years old, his suc
cess In his chosen field has beiu little
short of remarkable.
He will be the youngest archbishop on
the continent of North America, and one
of the youngest, if not the youngest, In
th world. , i
His outh, his perfect health and his
ablllfy make him a formidable candi
date for still higher honors within the
rank of the Catholic church, and it Is
not at all Improbable that he will some
clay ba a cardinal.
With many years of active service be
fore him, his chances for succeeding to
the American cardlnalate are looRed
upon as better than those of any other
archbishop In the Catholic church in
America.
Bishop Glennon was born in County
Meath, Ireland, of aristocratic Irish par
ents. He was educated at All Hallows'
college, Dublin university, and came to
this country 20 years ago.
He finished his studies in Ireland, but
when he arrived in Kansas City, where
he had been called by Bishop Hogan, he
was too young for ordination.
He worked under Bishop Hogan for
one year, when he was admitted to the
priesthood and made assistant to Fa
ther Dunce, then pantor of St. Tatrick's
chr.reh in Kansas City.
The Kansas City friends of Bishop
G'.onnon well remember him as the
young ecclesiastic student. He was tall,
had a clear-cut, frank countenance, Irish
blue eyes with wonderfully bright ex
pression and a clear pink complexion
that denoted his nativity.
In 1S87, three years after his admis
sion to the priesthood, Bishop Glennon,
M08T REV. J. J. GLENNON.
(Archbishop Kaln's Successor as Head of
St. Louis Diocese.)
In order to better acquaint himself with
his duties as a prelate of the church,
made a tour of Europe. He made an ex
tended visit In Rome, was received by
Pope Leo, and when he returned to this
country, one year later, he was made
assistant pastor of the cathedral parish
In Kansas City.
From this position he was elevated to
the pastorate, then to the station of
vicar general, and later coadjutor to
Bishop Hogan, which office he held when
selected as coadjutor to Archbishop
Kain.
While a student of religious literature.
Bishop Glennon does not neglect the
literature of the day. He is a gre at read- j
er of the newspapers, and In Kansas
City It was r.ot unusual to see him walk
ing home with a large bundle of Sunday
papers under bis arm. A friend, seeing
the bishop In possession of several Sun
day papers one day, asked hlra what h
did with them. !
"I study the funny pictures," said thf.
bishop. I
The St. Louis Republic says that thf
bishop !s also a Etuder.t of Shakespeare
On his journeys one generally finds a
small copy of Shakespeare In the pre
late's pocket. He speaks wonderfully
pure English, and two elements have
contributed to this excellence In hit
speech his early education at Dublin
university and bis constant Btudy of the
writings of the burd of Avon.
Newspaper men perhaps have had n
be'.ter tjpportuulty to study Bishop Glen
non than Rr.yor.e else. When a reporter
calls on the bishop, night or day, he find
a welcome. The bishop was nevei
known to treat coldly a representative ot
he press, althoueh he does not always
discuss the subject desired.
When a reporter culls upon the bishop
for an interview. It generally develops
that the reporter Is Interviewed Instead
of the prelate.
TV.e new archbishop has made an ex
cellent Impression upon the clergy and
laity of St. Louis, and while the sickness,
and death of Archbishop Kain are re-
gretted, the ascendency of Bishop Glen-
non to the archieplscopal office Is a mat
ter of congratulation on the part of those
who knew him when he was an obscure
priest In an obscure parish less than 20
years ago.
Strontcrnt Man in senate).
The strongest man in the United
States senate Is Senator Kearns, ot
Idaho. He Is athletic, muscular and
brave, with a fist as hard as a hammer.
In the early days of Idaho, when near
ly everyone carried a pistol, the future
senator refused to arm himself, and, al
though he was frequently involved In
altercations, he was never known to
come out second best. A single blow al
ways settled his adversary.

Th "stevedore candidate," Kdward
8. Hamilton, of Tacoma, Wash., is the
most Interesting figure in the uppronch
(ng campaign for the honor of represent
ing tbe state of Washington in the I'oit-
ed States senate. Hamilton, a natural
political leader, a man of lonn experi
ence in the art of whipping hU follow
J ers into line, has lung been considered
; it probable successor of Senator Addison
O. roster. The expiration of Festers
term is drawing near, and in the face of
considerable opposition, the genial sen
ator It aoklng bis constituents for re
election. And now Hamilton, the steve
dore "boss," although long a stanch
supporter of the Incumbent, has come
forward with a public announcement
of his candidacy.
The Chicago Record-Herald says that
tie campaign la more than a personal
contest between Foster and Hamilton.
It Is a strife between cities, for Seattle
and Tacoma are and always have been
keen rivals for this honor. Foster is
Tacoma's man, and "Stevedore" Hamil
ton mapped out th campaign which
won him the office. Seattle already has
a candidate in the field Samuel Biles,
a clever corporation lawyer. The nat
ural result of Hamilton's Intrusion cf
his personality into the fight will be to
split the Btrength of the Tacoma clans
and to transform whnt had been an "old
puard" of political power Into two bick
ering groups of partisans.
The rivalry, Industrial and political,
between two young, virile, growing
cities of the west far surpasses the trivi
al exchanges of pleasantries In which
eastern municipalities indulge. Ta
coma's dilemma, with two strong can
didates In the field, to oppose to the weld
ed attack of the Seattle cohorts. Is there
fore causing dismay In the hearts of
the politicians of the former city.
The opposition to Senator Foster,
which has arisen this summer, is duo
to a feeling that ho lacks "backbone."
Foster's smiling face and cheery lautfh
have won him a host of friends, even his

political enemies, but there Is a sentl-!
iraent, which is daily gathering strength '
that Washington needs a fighter in the '
chamber. Tbe state wants money for
harbor improvements, federal buildings, '

other things, anu it aiso wants a mun

gets vne apyrupriuiiuua. r ui ima ieu-
son the aggressive "stevedore" Is more
popular in the Tacoma ranks than tbe
sociable Foster.
Hamilton has been a member of the
state senate for three sessions. He
knows men, has a genius for planning
icampaigns, Is a man who does things,
and does them thoroughly. Never be
fore has Tacoma and Pierce county had
a political leader like him. He con
tributed more than any other one man
to the election of Foster in the last sen
atorial campaign. He outlined the fight
which won friends for Foster, while the
John L. Wilson and Levi Ankeny fac
tions were in deadlock, aud carried his
man through to victory.
Hamilton's fighting qualities made
him the leader of the railroads in their
struggle during the last two sessions to
prevent the passage of a bill creating a
state railroad coiniufsbion. As chair
man of the appropriations committee
he introduced New York methods Into
; the legislature, with the result that uo
appropriation bill can be attached to an
other measure, however meritorious,
thereby placing each measure upon its
merits.
i He was born In Brooklyn In July,
i 1SU5, and was graduated from the West
chester County Institute, of Peekskill,
in 1S82. Six yenrs later he moved to
this state and opened a real estate of-
flee at Port Townsend. In October, 1 S8S,
he entered the employ of the Puget Sound
Stevedore company as bookkeeper,
afterward becoming manager. Soon
afterward he became a member of the
, flrm )f McCabe & Hamilton, which now
does 90 per cent, of the stevedoring work
on Puget sound. The flrm uses electric
conveyors of Its own Invention, which
have contributed largely toward mak
ing Tacoma the port where heavy cargo,
Inward and outward, Is handled, at less
cost per ton than in any other port in
the world. Hamilton's political experi
ence began in New York, where for four
years he was assistant to Gen. J. W.
Husted, known aa the "Bald Eagle, of
Westchester."
