Indians in the Army.

The War Department seems to have con-
Guided that Indian regiments are a failure.
The plan has had six years trial since rs
initiation by Secretary Proctor, and has not
developed in the Indian true soldierly quail
ties. SO the officers say Six years is not
such a very long time, but il seems 70 have
been sufficient in this case The Indians
are admitted TO have done gallant service
enlist in the army. But the absence from
tribal associations, the life in the barracks,
and the long term Of enlistment does not
suit the Indians character; and now ana
then there is conflict between tribal and
military authorities, In W hieh he is expect
ed, of course, TO take the side OF the white
man; and he doesn't always do it.
Experiments in civilizing savage nations
seem to prove that the individual, not the
class, should receive attention. Ir the in
dividuaI Indian could iningle with the white
man on terms OF equality, W henever he has
fitted himself by education and ability 20 do
so, there would be an incentive to the rest
OF his race to do the same thing. One ex-
ample is worth dozen theories. II one
Indian is advanced to hig position in the
army, where his better understa nding Of his
own race canhelp thewhite man to dealwith
them, other Indians viii emulate him Pro-
eress is not made by d whole stion moving

II the advance guard is turned back the

Remnants are the only goods

marked just as they measure.
Soiled or crumpled handker-
chiefs, articles of under and outer
wear, scratched and arred

arranged that you may see their
exact condition. Thus If is with
all remnants, and you buy them
as they are and for what they are
worth to you.
Today there are many bargain
opportunities. Piles of remnants
OF every character and kind.
Rare opportunities among the
Woo1en Dress Goods = choice
pieces of the seasons brightest

To insure the quickest possible
clearance we've made the prices
in many cases half and less.
We also offer various bargain

for this occasion, at very specially
