Peaceful Indian Wins Honor
By ROMAINE SAUNDERS. Retired. 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.

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.

It Happened In NEBRASKA—
If you’d lived in Omaha in 1854, chances are that you'd have used
this portable “post office” — actually the postmaster’s hat! Later
the post office was moved from the hat of Omaha's first postmaster
into a building . . . where a remodeled axe box provided roomier
quarters for the mail.
Your post office isn’t all that has changed!
Today you’ll note that tavern operators
take special pains in maintaining clean,
well-regulated businesses. Part of the in
dustry’s campaign to keep its standards
high!
