Admirable One.
Owing to the rapid growth of our power
and our interests OF the Pacific, whatever
happens in China must be of the keenest
national concern to us.
The general terms of the settlement of
the questions growing out Of the anti-for-
eign %uprisings in China Of 1900, having
been formulated in a joint note addressed
to China by the representatives of the In
jured powers in, December last, were
promptly accepted by the Chinese govern
ment. After ~protracted conferences the
plenipotentiaries Of the several powers
were able to sign a final protocol with the
Chinese plenipotentiaries o n the 9TH Of
last September, setting forth the meas
ures taken by China in compliance with
the demands Of the joint note and ex-
pressing their satisfaction Herewith. It
will be laid before the congress, with a re-
port of the plenipOtentiary on behalf of
the United States, Mr.. William Woodville
Rockhill, to whom high praise Is due for
the tact. good judgment and energy he
has displayed in performing an exception
ally difficult and delicate task.
The agreement reached disposes in .
q a manner satisfactory to the power q
Q of the various grounds of complaint o
Q and will contribute materially to .
Q better future relations between Chi .
q ma and the powers.
Reparation has been made by China for
the murder of foreigners during the up
rising, and punishment has been inflicted
on the officials, however high in rank,
recognized as responsible for or having
participated in the outbreak. Official ex-
aminations nave been forbidden for a pc
riod Of five years In all cities in which
foreigners have been murdered or cruelty
treated, and edicts. a been issued MAX

OUR E WARDS.
Indians shonld Vow BE Treated ~
~ ~ InliNlduala

Indians Sh0nld Now BE as
" InlfHlduA1s.
In my judgment the time has arrived
when we should definitely make up our
minds to recognize the Indian as an in
dtvtdual and not as q member of q tribe.
The general allotment act is a mighty
pulverizing engine to break up the tribal
mass. It acts directly upon the family
and the individual. Under it's provisions
some GO,OOO Indians have already become
citizens of the United States.
We should now break up the tribal .
Q funds, doing for them what allot- .
. ment does for the tribal lands-that .
q is. they should be divided into ~indi- .
q vidual holdings. .
There will be a transition period during
which the funds will in many cases have
to be held in trust. This is the case also
with the lands. A stop should be put
upon the indiscriminate permission to
Indians to lease their allotments. The
effort should be steadily to make the
Indian work like any other man on his
own ground. The marriage laws of
the Indians should be made the same
as those of the whites.
In the schools the education should be
elementary and largely industrial. The
need of higher education among the In
dams is very, very limited. On the res
q i SLAO0Au VIC dAC I " lily ~
suit the teaching to the needs of the par
, ticular Indian. There is no use in at
tempting to induce agriculture in a coun-
try suited only for cattle raising. where
the Indian hould be mad a stock grow
er. ...'. @"a r.
q The ration system, which Is merely Q
the corral and the reservation sys- q
Q TEN, is highly detrimental to the In .
q dams. 1t promotes beggary, perpet- .
q yates pauperism and stiles industry. .
Q It is an effectual barrier to progress.
1t must continue to a greater or less
degree as long as tribes are herded on
reservations and have everything in COM
mon. The Indian should be treated as an
Individual, like the white man. During
the change Of treatment inevitable hard
ships will occur. Every effort hould be
made to minimize these hardships, but we
should not because of them hesitate to
make the change. There should be a con-
tinuous reduction in the number of agen-
cies.
In dealing with the aboriginal races few
things are more important h to pre-
serve them from the terrible physical and
moral degradation resulting from the ltq-
uor traffic. We are doing all We can to
save our own Indian tribes from this evil.
Wherever by international agreement this
same end can be attained as regards races
where we do not possess exclusive control
every effort should be made to bring it
about.
The president recommends that the CEN
sus Office be made a permanent govern
ment bureau.
The remarkable growth of the postal
service is pointed out, and attention Is
called to the benefits derived from the
rural free delivery. g..

there Is, or was, in the town Of Clear

respect for travelling men that they usu-

after which said old chap went to the

into the bad mans store. presented his
card and stated his business. For re-
ply the business man tore up his card
and made some insulting remark. Then
the professor talked back, and the bad
business man struck at him. (Rieht
here the Looker-On will admit that he
intended to have asked the sporting ed

second chapter as it were, but forgot 1t

The bad merchant striking wildly got
one from the professors left under the

which put the bully Of Clearfeld to
