THE SHIPPING BILL.
The Measure Kept to the Front
in the Senate.
AGRICULTURAL APPROPRIATION BILL
Friends Of the Farmers Were Very Much
In Evidence In the House Yesterday and
Voted an Additional Sum for
"Farmers' Bulletins"

Washington, Jan. 31.-The shipping
bill was kept at the front in the SEN
ate throughout yesterday. No ap-
preciable progress was made, most
Of the time being occupied by Senator
Turley, Of Tennessee, and Senator
Jones, of Arkansas, in speeches OPP
posing the bill and severely arraign-
ing its alleged favoritism. Senator
Jones declared it should be entitled
"a bill to permit select coterie OF
shipowners to loot the United States
treasury After the speeches the
formal reading of the bill was com
pleted, but the consideration Of
amendments was not entered upon.
When the formal reading of the bill
was concluded it was temporarily laid
aside and bills were passed establish
ing fish hatcheries and fish stations
in Idaho and in Indiana.
Early in the day an unsuccessful
effort was made to secure agreement
to the conference report on the army
reorganization bill.
The anti-polygamy crusade which
resulted in driving Mr.. Roberts,
Utahs representative, out of the house
of representatives at the last session
had an echo in the house yesterday
during the consideration of the agri
cultural appropriation bill. When
the section making the appropriations
for agricultural colleges of the sew.
eral states was reached Mr.. lands,
of Indiana, offered an amendment
providing that no money should be
paid to the college in Utah until the
secretary of agriculture was satisfied
that no trustee or teacher in the in
stitution practiced polygamy. The
amendment came as complete sur
prise. Mr.. King, who succeeded Mr..
Roberts, tried in vain to head it of
with point Of order and then in
Weighed against it as simply an after
math of the Roberts crusade. He in
sisted that polygamy was thing of
the past. Mr.. lands replied by al
leging that two of the professors Of
the Utah agricultural college were
polygamists and that one of the trus-
tees had seven wives and 81 children.
Upon this showing the house adopted
the amendment, whereupon Mr.. King
retaliated by offering an amendment
providing that none of the money
should go to agricultural colleges in
any state whose instructors or trus-
tees have engaged in lynching or been
guilty of adultery or fornication. He
afterwards modified it so as to apply
to the agricultural college of Indiana.
1t was overwhelmingly defeated.
Subsequently, when the bill was re-
ported to the house, the Landi.,
amendment was stricken out by a
vote of 60 to 10. The friends of the
farmer were much in evidence during
the day and again an aggressive OPP
position led by Mr.. Mahon, of Penn
sylvania. voted into the bill an addi-
tional appropriation Of $4,000 for
farmers bulletins"
There was also considerable discus
sion of the irrigation of the arid
lands in connection with the para
graph providing for an investigation
of that subject. The bill was passed

THE INDIAN QUESTION.
How President Roosevelt in His Mes
SAGE Tackles the Indian Problem.


sage Tackles the Indian Problem.
That part of President Rooseyelts
message which is of especial interest
to the readers Of the Ardmoreite is as
follows:
In my judgment, the time has ar
rived when we should definitely make
up our minds to recognize the Indian
as an individual and not as a member
Of tribe. The general allotment act
is a mighty pulyerizing engine to break
up the tribal mass. 1t acts directly mp.
on the family and individual Under
its provision some 10000 Indians
have already become citizens Of the
United States. We should now break
up their tribal funds, doing for them
what allotment does for tribal lands
that is, they should be divided into
Individual holdings. There will he
transition period during which the
funds viii 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 In
dians to lease their allotments. The
effort should be steadily to make tho
Indian work like any other man On his
cwn 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 needs Of higher education among
the Indians is very, very limited. On
the reservations care should be taken
10 try to suit the teaching to the needs
Of the particular Indian. There Is no
use in attempting to induce agriculture
in country suited only for cattle rails
ing, where the Indian should be made
a stock grower. The ration system
which is merely corral and the reserva
tion system. is highly detrimental to
the lndias. 1t promotes beggary, per-
petuates pauperism and stiles indus
try. 1t is an effectual barrier to pro-
gress. II must continue to a greater
or less degree as long as tribes are
herded on reservations and have every
thing in common. The Indian should
be treated as an individual-like the
white man. During the change Of treat
ment inevitable hardships will occur,
every effort should be made TO min
imize these hardships, but we should
not because of them hesitate to make
the change. There should be contin
uCus reduction in agencies"

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There IS only one way TO cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional Iem-
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube gets inflamed you have a rumb-
ling sound of imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an infamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
