In an important report recently
made to the Interior Department.
Agent Dew M. Wisdom, in charge of
the Union Indian Agency in Okla
homa, where the five civilized tribes
sre located, says: .'The intruders
slust go. The intruders have made
the Indians doubt the good faith of the
government and made it more difficult
to treat on the more important issues
Of allotment and the breaking up of
tribal autonomy in the nation to
which the individual Indian Belongs.
A sound public policy demands the
eviction of all declared intruders, and
any measure of expediency on the part
of the department that temporizes
with the intruder or postpones his re-
moval on mere technicalities is falla-
cious and misleading. Let all the
treaties be enforced and all the safe
guards secured to the Indians be up
held in letter and in spirit, and then
the Indians will make liberal conces-
sions and accept without murmuring
that change in condition which con-
fronts them"

"Five Drops" is the name of q sim
pie but effective remedy for rheuma-
tism, neuralgia, asthma, and kindred
ailments. The trade mark, IS Drops" !"

stored to health by the use of their

been published, and many more will
be gladly sent upon application. Some

offered to send sample bottle, pre-
paid, for rs cents. They know even

it's merits. They were so encouraged by
the numerous responses to their first

A coast defence gun now in process
Of construction by the United States
government is to be wonder in ord
sance. An expert estimates that the
,riking energy of projectile from
t,is gun will be equal to the blow Of
six-thousand-ton steamer ramming
at sixteen knots speed. To complete
the comparison, the expert adds that,
while vessel in collision strikes all
along her cutwater, the damaging pow
er Of the gun is concentrated on a cir
Gle having diameter Of sixteen
inches. Should the gun ever be used
against an enemy, the fate of vessel
receiving the blow could not be doubt
full. Such terrible engine of war is

A German paper suggests combi-

per intimates that Spain will have as
sistance in case Of fight with the
United States with regard to Cuba. An
ardent desire to be mean is thus de-
veloped; but behind 1t Is the older
meanness that has wanted these many
years to break up the natural protec-
tion against war in which every Amer
lean, north, central and south, honest

provoke cannot be predicted; but Mr..
Blaine's pan-American congress ought

For some time the Baltimore & Ohio
South Western Railway company has
been experimenting with crude oil for
kndling fires in locomotives, in place Of
using cord wood, and the results obtained
have been 80 satisfactory that it will here
after be used on the whole line.
During the month Of November, 1907.
at the company's shops, which are To-
Gated at Washington, Ind. and Chilli
cothe, Ohio, 1,226 fires were started with
crude oil, at cost Of $17.32, or Ia cents
per fire. To have started the same num-
Der of fires with wood the cost would
have been $3O6, or 24.96 cents per fire.
This represents saving Of $2Ss.6s, and is
very satisfactory.

We have tried to believe that tie
year comes in under a faint rainbow
of peace. There isn't excessive war
fare such as came with the advent of

Cubans are not killing each other, but
merely dying of starvation and fever,
and the Greeks are as quiet as whip
ped and sobbing babe. The Armen-
ians are as peaceful as the grave, and
the PHILIPPINES gave out no news with
the exception Of few unimportant
lies. But, good gracious! there is that

1t is the belief of the politicians that
"the people" are opposed to the reform
of the civil service and favor the spoils
system. If the politicians would think
about the matter they might reach q
different conclusion. Some day even
the most blinded will admit that pat
ronage is not an aid, but an obstacle.
to success. The most clamorous appli-
cants for place are not the most ef-
fcient supporters man may have;
often the case is quite contrary to this.
