 It seems to me that our friends brains are filled with illogical wiggie- tails. Let us suppose that the govern ment withhold action in the case of the Pimas It will not be long until they are driven away from their simple homes. They must swarm, and in swaIming they will scatter. They are out in the world now The white mans cruel selfishness and inordinate greed has compelled flight. They secure la bor as servants and menials. They are virtually slaves, for not knowing the English language. they cannot protest, and respect for the whi.e mans supe- Ifor intellectual attachments makes them timid and rettcent. They labor silently, faithfully. They have always been free as the birds. Heredh.y has not endowed them with love of disci- pline, but they control as best they can a generous heritage of unrest and strive earnestly to do mans part. They are treated with kindly toleration. as a dog is treated. Their food Is served in the k,:chen amidst the erobling inilu- euces of pots and pans. When their days work is done they may retire to the hermitage of their simple minds and thank the Great Spirit for casting their lot in such pleasant places.

 And as they toll faithfully. stoljaly, like dumb driven cattle. a great lone Illness settles down upon them. They retreat into themselves and shrink and shiver.

 And O! ;he pathos and pity of 1t! They are with us, but not of us. They are associates but not intimates; They are friends but not comrades. En- dowed with similar desires and ras- sions, they cannot cut the leash and set them free.
 A year or SO ago young Indian went from the Carlisle school to home in Massachusen ts. The home was all that could be desired. apparently There was a slaughter In the family. pleasant. attractive and agreeable. She pitied the young mans isolation and loneliness and tried 10 cheer the lad. He gave a strange meaning to her attentions, and a great love, that rapidly assumed an unconquerable year;ning to possess. captured his fTepzied soul. To him there was no reason why they should not wed; to her ther. was every reason. His viewpoint disclosed ro objections to making: she at once discovered the Fatal objection of inequality in develop ment Of the brain and soll that would make companionshtp impossible When the world heard of Ter death and his the world was startled, shocked. dis mayed. It was prolific in censure and condeinna ion. But had anyone sought the real reason 1t would have been found in social conditions that spring, not from race alone but individual linn itatlons. These conditions cannot be overcome In a generation. They cannot be overcome entirely by even our boast ed ssstem of education Butt that we recognize the fact of existence, is hope ful
 THE RESERVATION.
 And now let us reason together. Just why should these simple people be removed or molested? put this matter this way because they have al- ready been deprived of their water. and without water they must go forth or become governmental paupers.
