The two above communications are
samples of a number of similar letters
the GLOBE has received recently; and if
any evidence were needed to show that
the educational campaign is still in prog
ress, they furnish it. II is an encour-
aging sign TO observe that the masses
have their thinking caps on. and more
particularly that the young men are
seeking for truth.
In reply to our Minneapolis CORE

tariff question that we know of is to be

RuDn GETS THERE

Our Dakota friend and correspondent,
BUDD REEVE, is doing good missionary
work in his section. A South Dakota
farmer writes to the GLOBE: II have
been Republican from my youth up,
aud always voted the ticket straight,
but after reading in your paper BUDD
REEVES application of the tariff sys-
TEN to the Dakota situation l feel like
going out and jumping on myself. Of
all the fools in the world l have a sort
of an idea that we Dakota Republicans
are the biggest. We have been voting
for protection and prohibition right
along when both meant death to every
Dakota interest"
An honest confession is good for the
soul. and we are sure that our South
Dakota cores pendent feels better, now
that he has relieved his mind by con-
Tossing to an unpalutable truth. We
hope that the scales may fall from his
neighbors' eyes in the same way, and
enable them to see more clearly in
what direction their interests lie.
We furthermore hope that BUDD
REEVE will continue his missionary
work until all the people of the new
states are brought into the glorious
light of his tariff reform gospel.

AMERICAS HOME DAY.

If you were on the streets yesterday
you noticed how few others were there.
The city had a deserted appearance.
Shops and stores and banks were all
closed, and everything wore a Sunday
air. OF course you understood why it
was so, for you knew it was a holiday.
and people were at home celebrating the
advent of the new year. There is an
old superstition that as we begin the
year so shall we continue it, and there
fore we marvel that the practice of be-
ginning the year in idleness should be
adopted. With this thought comes the
suggestion that, perhaps, it wonld be
better to make holiday of the last day
of the old year than the first day of the
new. There would be an apparent ap-
propriateneSs in celebrating the closing
day of the year with a rest. Amid
however much turmoil and excite
ment it may have been ushered
in, there would be some satisfaction in
knowing that each succeeding year
shall go out in calm. and that all the
people of earth shall pause from their
labOrs to pay respect to its dying hours.
To look at it in this light we have made
mistake in selecting the first, instead
of the last day of the year as a national
holiday. But again. when we remem-
Der that the people who were not on the
streets yesterday, and were not at their
places of business. were at home dedi-
eating the day to that charmed circle
whence originates all that is pure and
good and useful in this life. we are apt
to conclude that it is pretty good way
of beginning the new year, after all.
New Years is the American peoples
home day, and without the sacred influ-
ence of home our American institutions
would be worthless.

SIOUX ARE DISSATISFIED.
They Hold a turbulent Interview
With Commissioner Morgan.

lie
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The Post saws
that it is understood the Sioux chiefs
had rather turbulent interview with
the commissioner of Indian affairs over
the subject of Indian schools. Irwin
Miller, secretary of the Sioux commits
sion, when questioned upon the subject,
said: sit is natural that the Indians
should be dissatisfied with the schools
at Hampton and Carlisle. In the first
place, from so to 20 per cent of the pu-
pills at Carlisle and Hampton die within
four years of their return home: die
like sheep with the murrain, princi-
polly from pulmonary complaints. This
is due either to the effect of the Eastern
climate or to the enervating in
life. 1t may be that going back to the
hills and the rude tepees of their pa
rents after the comforts of civilization
is the cause of this great mortality, but
the death rate is fearful and the Indians
object to the Eastern schools. Another
objection is urged that several years in
the East teaches the young Indians to
despiSe their kinsmen, to lose the
natural gratitude and affection que their
parents, whom they find on ther return
living in ignorance, squalor and wretch.
edneSs, and their education makes
gap which cannot be bridged, while. if
the schools were at the agency, the
children would daily take home some
evidence of civilization and q better
mode of living. and lift their parents to
a higher level. One old Indian ex-
pressed himself very POLITICALLY to the
Indian commissioner, when speaking OF
the fOgs which are frequent at Hamp-
ton: The breath of the earth,' said he,
rises up and poisons cur children
The Sioux commission favors the agency
school plan and seems to have the
eight of argument.n

THIS WORLDS WISDOM.

The way to get rich with rush is to
go slow.
Your friends punish you more than
your enemies.
Many man knows dollar by sight
who does not know its value.
When you look at some people the
first thing you think of is club.
Don't try to throw your troubles in a
cup: troubles are great swimmers.
The first time a man is called baldy
the thought of a fight comes into his
head.
1t is se easy for man to say that the
people dislike him because of envy.
1t is safe to say that no girl ever went
to party without wearing something
that was borrowed.
There is a coarse streak in every man
that lives; it is bound to crop out if YOU
know him too well.
The two ugliest things on earth are
the man who looks like girl and the
girl who looks like man.
Every man knows how mean he is
himself, but is not absolutely sure about
his neighbOr; hence his fondness for
gossip.
The woman who takes three hours TO
dress for party may be vain. but she
will never wear short hair and try to act
