THE INDIAN QUESTION.

A policy which, it is contended, will settle the entire Indian question with in generation is announced by Com missioner of Indian Affairs William Jones in his annual report, made public today His plau is to give the Indian opportunity for self-suppest; the same protection of his person and property as given others throw him on his own resources, and enforce on him realiza- tion of the dignity of labor and the inn portance of building and maintaining a home for himself
 Commissioner Jones says that at the outset the Indian must have aid and instruction, and necessaries doubtless will have to bs furnished him until his labor becomes productive Until the Indian has become part of the community in which he lives, day schools, the commissioner says, should be established at convenient places, where the Indian may learn enough for ordinary business transactions.
 The key to the whole situation, the commissioner suggests, is the home The larger and more powerful tribes, he adds, are located in an arid region on unproductive reservations, often in rigorous climate, where there is no chancet to make even living In these cases something should be done un- doubtedly, toward placing such Indians in a position where they can support i themselves.
 The commissioners says the cutting off otrations from all Indians except those who are incapacitated from earn ing support has had very gratifying re suits, and, if followed up, ultimately will lead so abolition of the reserva- ton and the absorption of the Indial into our body polite
 4 In the last thirty-three years, the re port says, over $240, ,0OO, ,000 has beel spent on an Indian population not ex ceeding lS0.000 Notwithstanding thi
 the Indian is still on his reservation
 being fed; money is still being pal
 him; he is still dependent on the gov.
 ernment for existence and he is ''littlr
 if any. nearer the goal of independene than he was thirty years ago, and
 the present policy is continued, h
 could get little if any nearer in th f next thirty years to come

USDoUnrEDLY the first work in irrigation which the government should undertake is the construction of a dam on the Gila River at San Carlos, in Arizona. because this inn provement would not only bring under cul- tiyation . large area of arid land for the use of white settlers. but would also relieve Indians. who are now in starving condi- tion because the water upon which they have been dependent for centuries has been diverted by white settlers above them. This improvement would be not only strilS- ing object lesson of the advantage ofirriga- tion on large scale. but also an act of mercy and justice.-lLos Angeles Times Editorial. Feb. 12. 1901.

NATIONAL IRRIGATION.
President Roosevsl,'s Attention Called to
 Declaration of Two Years Ago.
IFrom the Los Anealea Timas.l


 From the Los Angeles Times.l
 The Executive Committee of the Southern California section of the Ma tional Irrigation Association yesterday forwarded to the President of the United States communication read- ing as follows:
 "A press dispatch from Washington states that the President will recon mend to Congress line of action for the reclamation of the arid lands. which will have the effect of entrusting to the'agency of the States, instead of the agents of the Federal government, the systematic development of the plans for irrigation works While dis trusting the authenticity of the report, we respectfully represent that those who have given the subject much study are fully convinced that such policy would be serious error, and would be death blow to the national irrigation movement, and to an era of home building on the public domain
 "Your letter of November Is, 1900, to the National Irrigation Congress at Chicago, crystallized the sentiment dominating tbat convention, that the reclamation of the arid lands must be kept absolutely within the con- trol of the national government if the full measure of benefit to be de- rived is to inure to the people of the whole country, East as well as West :. We earnestly hope and confidently be- lieve that this policy will be sustained. /"
 The communication was signed by C. E. Boothe. chairman; L. w. Blinn. A. R. Boynton, J. u. BraIy Homer Laughlin, Ii. S. Mckee, NJ. J. New mark, J. NJ. Schneider, T. S. Van Dyke, members of the committee; A B Cass, president Los Angeles Cham Der of Commerce; H J Wooilacott, president Los Angeles Board of Trade C. C.

THE report of the Canal Commission is ready for the action of Congress It favors the Nicaragua route on ac- count of it's cheapness and practica- bility. The estimated cost of the Panama canal would be $28S S,000 900, while the Nicaragua would be little less than $l9O, 100000. Nicaragua and San Juan are willing to concede five mile strip on each side of the canal to secure it's neutrality and the new treaty with England will allow it to be fortified It now seems that every obstacle in the way of its construction has been removed.

TIE efforts that the government is making to preserve the timber upon the head waters of our streams ought to have the earnest support of every citi- zen of the territory and especially of the Gila Valley. The denudation of the timber from the hills is every day more apparent. Just now the Gila is flowing full stream in the day as the sun melts the mountain snows and as the evenings grow cool the stream diminishes until the next days sun swells it again. Under a normal con- dition the snow would be protected by the forest foliage until the warm tn of spring should release it and send it down to the farmer with perpetual stream.

uxcLE SAM is getting his work in with his guarantee of protection to the Panama railroad on one side and the Monroe doctrine on the other.

TOO MUCH MILITARlSM

At the time of the Hague con.
ference the German delegate declared
with great positiveness that the talk
made by other nations about Ger
manys being crushed by militarism
was a delusion and that the country
had never been so prosperous as
since it began to pile armament upon
armament. A recent article in the
Review of Reviews by M. Jean DE
Bloch contradicts these statements
very fatty. He considers Germany's
condition much more vulnerable to
attack than either Russia or France
and says that war now would be
almost fatal to Germany. She has
gradually turned from an agricul-
tural country to become industrial
and imports larger per cent. OF her
food every year. In case OF war
with her boosted 100000 men
modified, she would deprive herself
of the men who produce 100000
tons Of food, and should commercial
activity be suspended by war they
would have no raw ma terials and
every source of supply would be cut
off. Every year Germany is getting
into a more hopeless condition com.
mercially and the only salvation for
the country lies in a decrease of
armament. The authority quoted
calculates that Germany's power Of
resistance in case of war has de
creased 20 per cent. in the past
thirty years. NJ. Dc Bloch's only
consolation in reviewing the con-
dition of the GcrE'an people. is that
they are a nation of thinkers and
philosophers and he fervently hopes
that they may see their error before
it is too late. With such con-
spicuous example Of tie destroying
power of militarism upon a great
nation how can this government
continue its mad career which will
inevitably bring it to the same un'
happy end? We boast of our
superior national intelligence, but
of what avail is it if We cannot profit
by the teachings of history. Blind
indeed must be the statesman who
cannot trace through the pages of
the worlds history the downfall of
those mighty empires of the past
which allowed themselves TO become
infatuated with a career of national
aggression and militarism.
