as to carry the moniker "Indignation." Clearly, he deems himself superior to the other Spoon River residents as he claims in question form, "You would not believe, would you,/That I came from good Welsh stock?/That I was purer blooded than the white trash here?"Additionally, he pronounces himself and his stock "of more direct lineage than the New Englanders/And Virginians of Spoon River." Jones is unlike the riffraff; he asserts that his bloodline is untainted by southern Europeans or other races.
