We have a strong, vigorous and constantly expanding organization. The past with its lessons, its struggles, its successes, is ours. We live in sunlight now; fortune has favored us; the skies are bright with promise; surely at the close of this Great Sun, we can sincerely and honestly repeat: Oh Great Spirit from out whose hands, The Great Suns fall like grains of sand, We meet today, united, free, And loyal to our land and Thee, To thank Thee for the era done And trust Thee for the opening one." Concerning the Long House, the Great Sachem said: "As yet, the manner of raising wampum for this purpose has not been decided upon. The location of the Long House in this Reservation means far more for the Kentucky Redman than we realize. It means that each Great Sun Louisville will be the Mecca for a large number of the most influential members of our Order. In addition to this, it will be of great financial benefit to the Red Men and paleface merchants of Kentucky's metropolis, and, while more directly beneficial to them, is indirectly beneficial to you. This, however, should not be considered in comparison to the good that will result to the Order here." Among the recommendations of the Great Sachem were the following:-- That a tax be levied for the purpose of raising a fund for the erection of a Long House in Louisville by the Great Council of the United States. That some action should be taken whereby each member of the Order can be supplied with a copy of the laws. That the time of holding the Great Sun Council should be changed from Flower Moon to Cold Moon. That the law requiring the Chiefs of Tribes to be bonded through the chieftaincy of the Great Chief of Records be abolished. That the salary of the incoming Great Chief of Records be increased from five hundred fathoms to nine hundred fathoms. That a code of laws governing the Trustees of the Widows', Orphans' and Aged Red Men's Relief Fund be adopted. After reciting a long list of opinions and decisions rendered, the Great Sachem enumerates the sixty-five Tribes and three Councils of the Degree of Pocahontas instituted during his administration, with dates, and names of Organizers and Instituting Chiefs. After recounting the dispensations granted by himself and his Deputies, Great Sachem Page closed his admirable Long Talk as follows: "In discharging my duties I have been made a better Red Man and a better man. I love my fellow-man more to-day than I did one Great Sun ago. I shall never cease to lend my humble aid and assistance to the cause of this great fraternity. In conclusion I trust that in passing judgment upon my efforts and work you may be able to say: 'He hath done what he could, and in the best manner he knew how.'" The following statistics are from the Long Talk of Great Chief of Records Henry W. Ray:--
