TROUBLES IN INDIAN TERRITORY.
Present Conditions Jcopnrdizc the
Rights of Many People.

For a number of years past II has been
apparent that the conditions under which
the five civilized tribes were established In
the Indian territory under treaty provisions
with the United States, with the right Of
self-government and the exclusion of all
white persons from within their borders.
have undergone so complete a change as to
render the continuance of the system thus
inaugurated practically impossible, The
total number of the five civilized tribes, as
shown by the last census, is 45,45i, and this
mumber has not materially increased. while
the white population is estimated at from
200 900 to 250,000 which by permission of the
Indian government. has settled in the terri
tory The present area of the Indian terri
tory contains %, ,693, ,564 acres, much of which
citizens residing in the territory, most OF
whom have gone there by invitation or with
the consent Of the tribal authorities, have
made permanent homes for themselves
Numerous towns have been built in which
from 800 to 5000 white people now reside.
CHILDREN NEED EDUCATION.
Valuable residences and business houses
have been erected in many Of them. Large
bus mess enterprises are carried on In which
vast sums of money are employed, and yet
these people, who have invested their capital
in the development OF the productive re-
sources of the country, are without title to
the land they occupy and have no voice
whatever In the government either Of the
nations or the tribes. Thousands of their
children who were bonn in the territory are
OF school age, but the doors of the schools
of the nations are shut against them and
what education they get Is by private con-
tribution No provision for the protection OF

The great increase OF the navy which

by the requirements for national defense aud
has received public appreciation, The time
has now arrived however, when this in
crease to which the country is committed,
should for time take the form Of increased
| facilities commensurate with the increase OF
| our naval vessels. II is an unfortunate fact
that there is only one dock on the Pacific
coast capable of docking our largest ships
and only one on the Atlantic coast and that
the latter has for the last six or seven
months been under repair and therefore inca
pable OF use. Immediate steps should he

For long distance the principal path
in Brandywine Park runs alongside OF
the race, which supplies the city with
water. That race is cemented, and
when the river is high the current is
strong, and 1t would tax the strength
OF man TO get out II he were TO fall
in. To add to the danger, a narrow
cemented path runs along the very
edge Of the race, and that path tempts
persons to go as near the water as they
can get without getting In it. Public
safety demands that a low fence OF
some kind be constructed between the
path and the edge of the race, and that
adequate police protection be afforded
people who frequent the park.

SPRING THE MOST DANGEROUS OF

This is the most dangerous season Of
the year. 1t may be pleasant may often
seem attractive. but back Of all the pleas
ant atmosphere there is dangerl This
danger comes in some form Of sickness.
Almost any sickness starts with a cold
or a chill caused by the sluggish action
of the system. That is why so many peo-
pie just now complain of tired feelings,
pains in the muscles and bones, loss of
appetite, Spring fever and similar
troubles.
The following is good advice from a
prominent medical journal: Pneumonia
and other dangerous complaints, which
result from a neglected cold. can always
be avoided II a timely remedy is taken.
When chilly sensations are felt they
should be stopped Immediately or serious
consequences Will follow. There is only
one way known to the world Of avoiding
cold or chllls. and that is the use of a
good, pure and strong stimulant. Moth
ing ordinary will do. II must be some
thing sure In its action and scientifically
prepared. For this reason nothing has
ever equaled Duffys Pure Malt Whiskey,
