they have some hard trials to over
come, while they IRE at home.
The girls need tobe protected from
being used as articles.
Those who went away to school.
from this reservation found it very
hard to get permission form their
parents. They first have to be
petted, talked into them and every
thing else under the sun before
they consent. The old people are
entirely near sighted in their views
as to what will be the outcome in
the future when the young people
have to look after themselves, or
be self supporting.
The old people think tits agreat
favor to the teacher if they send
their children to school, and they
don't seem to know that sending
their children, was the means Of
learning new ways: to speak Eng
lish, to write and to read. Remarks
have been made by those who are
ever ready to throw up anything
about the Indian race, such as
'there is no use in educating the
Indian children, or sending them
away to school, because they will
soon go right back in their old
ways" This is true to some ex-
tent, because their parents have
such strong influence over their
children, and besides the old peo-
pie hate to give up their old ways,
instead Of following their children's
example Of what they have learned
at school. If the old people were
only willing to give upsold habits,
it would be an easy matter for their
children to live like white people
do. l think you will all agree with
me, that the old people are the
stumbling blocks to their children,
and why then should we wait for
an answer from such of those who
do not know the value Of educat-
ion, and to get their opinion as to
whether they ought to go to a
higher school or not. This is why
I believe in compulsory education,
[ would rather please a boy and a
girl to let them go off to school,
than to please the parents. Ii we
let the parents have their own way,
then we are helping the old people
in keeping their children from fur
Their advancement. Ii a boy and
a girl wants to go to higher school
it IS our duty to help them, by let
ting them go. Ii we are going to
civllize the Indians, we must get
the young people and place them
where civilized people can learn
them the ways Of being useful.
The older people today will be no
help to their children in the CON-
ing few years, if they persist on
keeping their children from going
Of to non-reservation schools, but
if the children are sent away to
higher schools, theywill be a great
help to themselves and to their own
people. By sending them to other
schools, it will give them new life
and broader views i'll our daily
doings. We. can not expect too
much Of civilization among the
Indians, if there are no civilized
people among them.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Pullman Company to Establish
the Pension System.
Plan is to Embrace the Total
Force Of Men.
PREVENTS TROUBLES.
Scheme is Considered Means
of Avoiding Difficulties.
EVENTS TROUBLES.
Frisco Preparing to Build an
Extension to lola.

The officials of great corporations are
beginning to view the plan of pensioning
employees after they reach a certain age
as safe and fair way OF solving many
labor difficulties. Several great rail-
road systems Of the country have I'M
dertaken the plan. notably the Chicago
& Northwestern. Illinois Central and
Pennsylvania.
Now the officials of the Pullman COM
pany are arranging the details OF a PEN
sion plan whereby 500 office employees,
shop Workmen at Pullman, Detroit, VIII
ningtons Del, and St Louis and every
porter in the service of the company
shall benefit from it.
1t is said to be the purpose Of the COM
pany to place in effect a system which
will be comprehensive and liberal to a
degree and which Will embrace the total
force Of the company, numbering be-
tween Il, 600 and 10, 900 employees The
fact that the Pullman force embraces
in the neighbOrhood OF 1000 colored men,
acting as pOrterS on sleeping cars
throughout the country, adds interest TO
the project. Tt is not known when the
matter will be submitted to the directory
but it will probably be before the quar-
terly meeting in August There is no
doubt, however, that the members of
the directory are in favor of a pension
plan, and it is said that the suggestion
to inaugurate one came from that body
It IS understood that with shop hands
and sleeping car pOrters the age of 90
years will be made the limit OF service
Employees, however. who have reached
the age of SIS, and who have been con-
tinuously in the service Of the company
for ten years, may retire upon a pen
sion.
The ages Of compulsory and voluntary
retirement and the length of service re
quired to entitle employees to receive
pensions are vet to be determined
While the general plan used by the rail-
roads will undoubtedly be followed in
the Pullman system, it Is likely that a
wider latitude will be allowed owing TO
the character of the service.
The following basis of paying pensions
is the popular one and will undoubtedly
be considered by the company: For
each year of service an allowance of
per cent of the average monthly pay re-
ceived for the ten years preceding re-
tirement: thus if an employe has been
with the company for forty years and
has received on an average for ten years
$50 per month regular wages, his PEN
sion allowance would be 40 per cent
of $50, or $50 per month
The Pullman board to which the plan
viii be submitted is made up of the
following:

High School Senior Girls Got Even
With the Principal

The fable THE Tale of the Four
Prodigal Daughters" which appeared
in the senior class book issued as a
souvenir of the graduating class of the
High school, has a meaning which Is
not apparent on the surface, but which
is very plain to those who know.
-Four of the senior girls whose first
recitations came at the second hour
happened to get to the High school
about fifteen minutes early one morn
ing a. few weeks ago, and seeing the
horse and carriage of a, fellow scholar
tied in front of the building decided to
get in and take a, drive The principal
saw it all. When the girls got back
they were a little late to their classes,
and the principal called them up to his
private office. After adm inistering a
reprimand to them he cruelty sent them
home to their 'TnammaS" for a letter
asking to allow them to continue in
their school work. The girls thought
that the principal was very unfair for
the reason that they had not entered
the school for that particular day, and
they thought that If excuse for be-
ing late to the class was forthcoming
all would be Well. But to be suspended
was almost too much for them to bear.
They were all, however. allowed to
come back.
One of the girls, who Yields a faciie
pen, decided to write a story of the
affair for the souvenir OF course the
things she intended to write would not
be included in the book if the story
were sent to the printer through the
regular channel, for all the copy for

sort has decided that congress has the
sole power to govern these possessions.
Up TO this time there has been no dis
elimination by congress between Idaho
