The problem of giving names to
Indians is one that long vexed the
government at Washington. 1t is
fact, perhaps not generally under
stood, that the Indian children real
ly have no names of their own, in
the sense in which the white child
has a name. That is to say, there is
no such thing as an arbitrary desig-
nation for each Indian child. An
Indian name is a phrase which has a
definite meaning, and in the course
of lifetime this phrase, as applied
to a particular Indian, may be
changed several times. The attempt
to translate these phrases into Eng
lish has led to ridiculous and confus-
ing results. superintendent Terry
of the Crow Indian School, in Mon
tana, advocates in the March Review
of Reviews the adoption OF a regular
system Of nomenclature by the gov
eminent, and the abandonment OF
the practice of translating.

So strong a populist paper as the
Miller Gazette, charges that Loucks,
Plowman and Goodykoontz, popu.
list candidates for United States
Senator, all offered to sell out their
party and go in with the republicans
il the latter would elect either one of
them. This is q serious charge, but
the GaZette's editor has been in close
touch with party affairs at Pierre,
and dares any one challenge him for
the proof. Many populists, honest
and sincere, are disgusted with the
work OF the pot hunters who broke
into the party last year purely for
spoils. These honest populists say
the only ray of light breaking thro'
the dark cloud Overhanging Pierre is
the election Of Senator Kyle, and
that was done byrepublicans. They
feel that their party has been captur-
ed by alot ofunscrupuluous schemers
who have brought the party into
discredit over the state and nation.

Experience is a good teacher" but
it is equally %proverbial to attach
thereto the bill of expense. If We
learn accurately the results, we are
willing that the other person have
the experience. We learned, long
ago, that proper progress in any
thing a be made only along natur-
al paths. A more forceful example
of this can not be recalled than our
vain efforts to make OF our county
an exclusively agricultural commu-
nifty with the results SO wildly por-
trayed, there is every reasO to ex-
pect better things in the future. This
is not only true in the physical world
but also in the intellectual. Nature
propagated the laws and placed the
instruments at our disposal where
by they may be verified. We are
given an organism that we may OBJ
serve the workings of nature and
profit thereby. Not only that-the
preserving art" has made it posi-
bic for us to reap the fruits OF labors
of the most active of those who have
preceded us. We are rich in heritage.
Pestalozzi, Froebel, Mann, Page and
Others have bequeathed us their all.
Accepting the best that they gave US
our leading educators are devoting
their most valued time to the obSer-
vation OF nature, seeking thereby to
discover methods that are more
nearly adapted to natural develop
ment. "Child study is the liveliest
subject under discussion in our .edu-
cational journals. 1t is right that
it is. Let us know more about
the child; it's triumphs and how to
increase them; it's healthiul tenden-
cies and how to stimulate them; it's
morbid conditions and how to treat
them. This will lead US to consider
the child in his moral, physical, and
intellectual capacity-separate in
themselves yet each depending upon
the Others SO as to demand OF us a
close observation that their develop
ment be into q harmonious whole.

Would be a Good Law.

A very proper bill is before the leg
~islature to make it misdemeanor
with fine attached, ~forcounty officials
to send away for supplies. This is
designed to choke off the few fellows
that slip into Office, who, because of
some little, narrow, petty spite, or
for IL commission, they send away
from home for their supplies. These
warts are so small in mental calibre
that il they think any merchant or
business man exercises his inalienable
right as an American citizen of yot-
ing for whom he pleases, then they
consider that he is not entitled to
any public business. So when they
want anything they order OF a trav-
cling agent or send to an outside
concern that never spends a dollar
here. We say here ~advisedly, be-
cause Hand county has had some Of
ncerS OF This OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
the fact that nearly every board of
commissioners in the county have
recommended that officers buy their
supplies at home from the people who

merchants and other heavy taXpay-
ers say that they are growing weary

Just to see some fellow send their
