Former Frontier Editor LINCOLN—Chief American Horse, Spotted Tail, Sitting Bull as well as others of note among • American Indian men have had much publicity in days gone by, chiefly for their warlike pro pensities, but it remained for a New' Mexican . Pueblo Indian woman to receive honcis at the .University of Colorado at Boulder. In June, 1953, Mrs: Marie Martinez, a full blood Pueblo from an Indian village near Santa Fe, N.M., was awarded a prize and place of honor for her work in pottery and other Indian craftsmanship. More than that, a book has been published telling her life story, ‘ "Maria, the Potter of San Ilde fonso,” written by Alice Mar riott, who spent much time with the Pueblos in their villages of homes built out of mud. The Pueblos were given to Romaine agriculture and pottery and bas ket making rather than taking to the warpath, as the Sioux and Pawnees did. Referring to life in the Pueblo village the author of "Maria. *he Potter” indulges this bit of heart warming philosophy: "This was w'hat shaped the way men lived their lives. They knew the smallness of the sin gle man. They knew that man’s strength grew if bonded with his fellows, as the blocks of adobe were bonded with one another to make a wall. Men built their towns with continuous walls, not only as defense against their enemies but also to gain the strength that comes from bonding to gether the friends that the wall enclosed. Water had shaped the earth from the beginning and men had shaped earth and wate: to make their houses and the towns that were walled with houses. Because towns came out of the earth and were part of it they hardly showed against the countryside. From even a slight distance if one didn’t know where the houses were it was hard to see them. Men and their works were incon spicuous against the land, as inconspicuous as human life against the life of mountains.” • • • Kansas lets us know via the auto license plates it’s the wheat state. New Mexico claims the land of enchantment. Wyoming license plates have a husky riding a bucking horse, cars rolling ir. and out of Denver, Colo., tell us we are in colorful Colorado. Nebraska license plates have no such slogan but on arriving you need not be told that you are in a prairieland of peace and plenty. • • • • Three war-scarred veterans are eligible for a postoffice commission in O’Neill. For nearly a half-century after the close of the war between the North and the South, the old soldier who could we&" a GAR badge could get most anything pro vided in a government commission. Those who have faced the perils of army life are entitled to consideration where government commissions are involved. • • • Senator Griswold was out from Washington, D.C., recently. From what got into the papers, the senator is cautious if the McCarthy-army controversy is brought up but expressed his con viction that McCarthy and the army men will in no way interfere with the congressional program of important legislation, and that President Eis enhower is definitely the “head of the republican Party”,1 I MHL A fresh breeze comes out of the Dakotas to day to greet the prodigal’s return to prairieland. Thin clouds hang high above, not knowing whether to shed a lear for departed winter or to the memory of Captain Hooker and Sergeant Nolan over thp passing of old Ft. Randall. No more will be heard on the streets of O’Neill the tread of marching soldiers from that historic fort. But they left behind a token to their memory that will not be effaced unless by an earthquake. On a hill five miles west of Amelia stands a lone cottonwood and up over the ridges across the Howard Berry ranch is plainly visible the grass grown trail of those Ft. Randall soldiers as they came and went to and from Ft. Hartsough. Nov/ wind and clouds tell us spring has come to prai rieland and ere long the velvet green, renewed foliage on tree and bush and the bright colors of floral bloom will adorn the landscape and the plowman homeward will plod his weary way at evening. Or does modem agriculture have a plowman Disappointments and cherished mem ories go with you in turning again homeward. Fates arranged so I did not get to personally contact either Will McNichols or Will Lowiie. Mr. McNichols had been called out of the state on professional business during my sojourn in Southern California and both Will Lowrie and I lacked the hardihood to travel that 200 miles be tween San Diego and Los Angeles to get togeth er. Mr. McNichols plans to step again upon the sacred soil of his childhood in O’Neill this com ing summer and I plan to see him then. I can never have it in for Will Lowrie for shunning the maddening traffic of Southern Caliomia. • • • The first Taft and Teddy Roosevelt became involved in disagreements that split the GOP. started the brief existence of the Bull Moose party and elected Woodrow Wilson president. Is that experience for the republican party to be repeated as the fruits of Senator McCarthy's activities? * » • There is no place like prairieland. Much of the mountain states west of us is dried to the bone. The cattle raising section of New Mexico has had no rain for months and radio announcers say there is little or no grass and the state is calling for federal aid. Sam Eliyood and one or two others left the lush grasslands of Holt county years ago and went to New Mexico. The last any O’Neill patriot saw of Sam he had come to Om aha, big hat and all the trimmings, with a ship ment of cattle. He had left Holt county not be cause of a lack of plenty of grass but because we had tamed down and the sixshooter was no longer popular. • • * Agricultural and conservation experts could learn a lot from the Pennsylvania Dutch farm ers. * * • The Nebraska Territorial Centennial com mission has had issued a volume with suggestions for programs suitable for the occasion celebrat ing the 100th anniversary of the organization of the Nebraska territory. The handbook, as the publication is spoken of, is available to those in terested at the State Historical society, Fifteenth and R streets, Lincoln. Any attempt to depict pioneer life involves drawing on the imagination unless you have been through the real thing, but this publication no doubt has many realistic fea tures for the great event. Editorial . . . Victory for Liberals (The army literally closed ranks last week on U.S. Sen. Joseph McCarthy, Wis consin's controversial spy hunter. The Fron tier’s editorial writer wrestled with the sub ject for several days, but Monday’s lead ed itorial in the Omaha World-Herald aptly surimed up our feelings in the matter in a far more capable manner. For that reason, we are reproducing below what we consider to be an enlightened and factual discussion of a sad and historic chapter in American his tory.—Editor.) A VICTORY SLYLY WON Last week the communist conspiracy in Am erica won a great victory. And won it so slyly that many people were scarcely aware of what had happened. This is what the red comrades accomplished: They caused the campaign against American communism to come grinding to a stop. They put anti-communism on the defensive. They made sure that, for a long time to come, any attempt to expose the communists will get bogged down in the wrangle between “McCar thyism” and “anti-McCarthyism.” How did the reds manage to bring off this victory? - • - As *o often in the past, they were helped mightily by the “liberals” and the left-wing press. These are the people whose hearts bled, only a few short years ago, for the Chinese “agrarian reformers” of Mao Tsetung. The people who yipped for Yalta, fired MacArthur, and wouldn’t turn their backs on Alger Hiss. This time they were writhing in mock-agony at the “methods” used by Senator McCarthy. And the more they suffered and groaned, the greater the comfort they gave to their gleeful fellow-travel ers, the communists. Senator McCarthy himself was not blameless in this affair. He did not stick to his primary task of tracking down communists. He seemed much too eager to join battle with anybody and every body who said a slighting word about McCarthy. Army Secretary Stevdhs, of course, was a major factor in the week’s events. Himself an jmtJ-communist of unquestioned sincerity and integrity, he made a thoughtless and unfortunate move in his first reaction to the Zwicker case— and from that moment he became a pawn in the army’s attempt to vindicate a member of its Protective association. As a matter of fact the entire administration, from the president down, permitted itself to be made a part of the campaign to magnify anti-Mc Carthyism and de-emphasize and belittle anti communism. As a result of these many mistakes, some of them expert ,, contrived, we surmise by the red conspirators, you are hearing a great deal today on radio and TV about McCarthy vs. Stevens. You are hearing discussions among the pink needlemen as to whether McCarthy or Eisenhow er is the real leader of the republican party. But you are hearing darned little about the red footprints that have been revealed in Wash ington, D.C. And when you do encounter a small item or two along that line, chances are you are given the impression that it is all the word of “that horrible man from Wisconsin.” All of which should serve as a warning to all who truly love America. It gives notice that the red infiltrators have not lost their skill, or their devotion to the Kremlin’s cause. Their central strategy of divide and-conquer is being followed just as diligently in America in 1954 as in the great red offensives which felled Middle Europe, China and North Ko rea in the recent past. Churchill to Retire? Speculation continues in England that Prime Minister Winston Churchill will retire shortly after Queen Elizabeth returns from her six month tour of the colonies This is reportedly what Sir Winston has confided to a close friend in the house of commons. Those who expect the prime minister to re sign point out that he is in his 80th year and that the duties of prime minister are heavy for any man, especially so for one of that age. They ad mit Churchill apparently is in better health now than he was last year, when he suffered a stroke which incapacitated him for four months. Along with the speculation that Sir Winston will retire is the general belief that Foreign Sec retary Anthony Eden will succeed him. Eden was a question mark because of his poor health only a year ago and, at tl?at time there was much talk that the chancellor of the exchequer, R. Butler, would succeed Churchill. It is now thought more likely that Eden himself will suc ceed Churchill as has been anticipated all along, since Mr. Eden has recovered his health to a very j remarkable degree. It may well be then that the next prime min ister of England is to be Anthony Eden, a man whom the world has watched and expected to assume that post for some 10 to 12 years. Recent developments make it appear this change will occur in 1954. We think the medical profession is about due to discover the cause and cure of the com mon cold. CARROLL W.
