The Commercial club of Omaha has turned down an advertising scheme
 made to it by outside ADVERTISING parties. In commend FAKIRS. ing the action the
 Omaha News says:
 The persuasive advertising fakir is always abroad in the land. He is d smooth talker, and is usually able to convince the average business man that by the distribution of a few thou sand booklets or a special edition 0: some trade paper. he can greatly bene- fit the merchants business. He se- cures a good contracr, gets out his The value of such advertising is always questionable. It takes money out of the city, and the results cannot be traced. Sometimes it may pay, but as a usual rule 1t is utterly worth less"
 The itinerant advertising fakir lives on the guilibility of the average busi- ness man. The business man knows better but he is made victim ere he is aware. Merchants of the east are combining in a pledge to do no adver- Using except in the legitimate news paper way. The merchant who invests in newspaper advertising knows what he Is getting. Besides, his money goes to home institution which more than any other fights his commercial battles for him.

 ban question. There ONLY will be considerable COMMON difficulty in agreeing SENSE NEEDED. on legislation which
 will establish such reciprocal trade relations with the new republic as will promote the prosprrity of the island and still properly protect the competing American industries Aside from this task, there are no pc culiar difficulties confronting congress. yet in forecasting the general Work or the special duties that devolve on the federal legislature there is al- ways a temptation to fall into the platitude of declaring that never before has a congress been confronted with such "stupendous problems, never had so many and so great obligations to discharge, or never had such ''del- icate task to perform. As a matter of fact. most of the really 'stupenrous problems have been solved-and solved very creditably, too-and few of the bodies that have succeeded the first congress or the OIlltu SldltS liietl llASt or March f. 1IS9, have had easier jobs than will face this, the Fifty-seventh. While the field of legislation has grown constantly broader in all these one hundred and thirteen years and both domestic and international interests have become more diversified and in tricate, demanding higher intelligence, wider knowledge and keener insight in our lawmakers, they have in general more than kept pace with all this ex- pansion and development; and work that would have fairly staggered sen ators and representatives in the POS or the 70s is approached with confi- dence and security nowadays, and gets performed with comparatively little friction or grinding toll. The ma chinery of legislation is more intricate, but it is up-to-date and runs with a smoothness and effectiveness that are something marvellous

It is officially suggested that these land grants take the form of free leases for ninety-nine years.

Still this open door marriage policy,
while it admitted no bad characters, was
fraught with many evils. Any well-ap-
pearing man, with a gift of love making
could go there and win a bride and
handsome fortune at the same time, pro-
vided his record was reasonably good.
Inc women there were not as highly Gull
tured as they are now. But they pos
sessed a desire to marry white men,
hence it was easy sailing for fortune
hunters. This class of men fenced in
large tracts of the public domain or land
belonging to the redskins in common,
used the land for cattle ranches, and con-
verified the minerals into cash. Many men
became mi!lionaires at the expense of the
tribes. They were known as galvanized

Five years ago the evil was partly rem
edied by the tribal councils DISTINGUISHING
all "squaW men" who thereafter married
into the tribes. This checked the influx
of mohey-seekers for time and then
it became as bad as ever. Early this

of these girls, but the opinion of gov
eminent officials on the subject is that
5000 is an underestimate for the tribal
right alone, while many of the girls have
property besides. The Indian girl has gen
orally selected her vocation before
she is 20. She marries early and settles
down easily to the duties of domestic
life. Or If she is going on the stage, and
many of them do, she has completed
arrangements for it while still In her
teens. Others enter special fields where
they believe that their talent will win
them fame. All are ambitious. None are
sluggish. The wedding of an Indian girl
is the browning glory of her life. She
makes much of it and her friends for
hundreds of miles around are sure to at

as possible, and there is a degree of
formality and style not exceeded in the

of course, on a smaller scale.
