ious reasons there has been little interfer-

ample notice has now been given the

command of the government will hereaf-

In view of the capital Importance of
these matters, I commend them TO the
earnest consideration of the congress,

dealing with them from lack of thorough
knowledge of the subject, I recommend
that provision be made for a commission

I again recommend to the favorable
consideration of the congress the plans
of the Smithsonian institution for making
the museum under it's charge worthy of
the nation. and for preserving at the ma
tional capital not only records of the AN

OF this continent which, like the buffalo,
will soon become extinct unless specimens
from which their representatives may be
renewed are sought in their native reg

Aid to Farming Population.

In no department of governmental work
In recent years has there been greater
success than in that of giving scientific
aid to the farming population. thereby
showing them how most efficiently to
help themselves. There Is no need of in
sisting upon its Importance, for the well
fare of the farmer Is fundamentally nee
essary to the welfare of the republic as
a whole. In addition to such work as quar-
antine against animal and vegetable pla-
CUES, and warning against them when
here introduced, much efficient help has
been rendered to the farmer by the intro
duction of new plants specially fitted for
cultivation under the peculiar conditions
existing in different portions of the coun-
try. New cereals have been established
in the semi-arid west. For instance, the
practicability of producing the best types
OF macaroni wheats in regions of an an
nual rainfall of only ten inches or there
abouts has been conclusively demonstrate
ed. Through the Introduction of new
rices in Louisiana and Texas the produc-
ton of rice In this country has been made
to about equal the home demand. In the
southwest the possibility of regrassing
over-stocked range lands has been demon
strated; in the north many new forage
crops have been introduced, while in the
east 1t has been shown that some of our
choicest fruits can be stored and shipped
In such a way as to find a profitable mar
ket abroad.

The District Of Columbia.

The District of Columbia is the only
part of our territory in which the national
government exercises local or municipal
functions, and where In consequence the
government has a free hand in reference
| to certain types of social and economic
legislation which must be essentially
local or municipal in their character. The
government should see to 1t, for instance,
that the hygienic and sanitary legisla-
ton affecting Washington is OF a high
character. The evils OF slum dwellings,.
whether in the shape of W or con-
gested tenement house districts or of the
back alley type, should never be permit
ted to grow up in Washington. The city
should be model in every respect for all
the cities of the country. The charitable
and correctional systems of the district
should receive consideration at the hands
of the congress to the end that they may
embody the results of the most advanced
thought in these fields. Moreover, while
Washington is not a great industrial city,
there is some industrialism here, and our
labor legislation, while IL would not be
important in itself, might be made a mod
ell for the rest of the nation, We should
pass, for instance, a wise employers liza
bility act for the District of Columbia
and we need such an act in our navy
yards. Railroad companies in the district
ought to be required by law to block theil

The Noble Red Men.

Inc NOOIe REQ MEN,.
In dealing with the Indians our aim
be their ultimate absorption into
the body of our people. But in many cases
this absorption must and should be very
slow. In portions of the Indian Territory
the mixture of blood has gone on at the
same time with progress in wealth and
education, so that there are plenty of men
with varying degrees of purity of Indian
blood who are absolutely indistinguish-
able in point of social. political and econ
omic ability from their white associates.
There are other tribes which have as yet
made no perceptible advance toward such
equality. To try to force such tribes too
fast is to prevent their going forward at
all. Moreover. the tribes live under wide
ly different conditions. Where a tribe
has made considerable advance and lives
on fertile farm soil it is possible to allot
the members lands In severalty much as
is the case with white settlers. There are
other tribes where such a course is not
desirable. On the arid prairie lands the
effort should be to induce the Indians to
lead pastoral rather than agricultural
lives, and to permit them to settle in VII
lagos rather thar to force them into iso-
lation.
The large indian schools situated re-
mote from any Indian reservation do a
special and peculiar work of great I'M
p~ortance. But, excellent though these
are, an immense amount of additional
work must be done on the reservations
themselves among the old, and above all
among the young Indians.
The first and most important duty to-

Every effort should be made to develop

itude, and to encourage the existing ma

such as the various kinds of basket weaV

THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TIED.
In Batches of Fifas Given to the
Sheriff.

Several stacks of tax executions have
recently been turned over TO Sheriff
Bell for collection, and a very large
sum of money due the county is thus
represented in these innocent looking
slips of paper. And Sheriff Bell is
soon going on hunt for the dollars
represented.
In numbers, there are between three
thousand and four thousand fifas.
Just how much cash they represent,
if all could be collected, is matter Of
conjecture only. 1t might be 500, ZOO,
or even more. Certainly it would be q
large sum.
The greater number of these tax
fifas are against negroes and for poll
tax only. But there are others, many
others, and among them appear the
names of some of the most prominent
people of the town. Surprise is ex-
presses that these are slow in paying
their taxes.
But the executions, nearly four
thousand of them, are there as cyl
dence of unpaid dues to the county.

Such was the statement made The

And the gentleman quoted was one
of the quiet and determined kind who
generally study the situation well and
mean what they say.
He is willing, he said, to take the
initiative in securing for Americas
some kind of enterprise which can be
put IN operation with capital of
$15, 900 or $4,000. This sum, he says,
he can raise here.
He quoted one young man as saying
that he would invest 81, 500 in any
good business venture here. This
young business man believes in Am ERR
Gus, and will risk his earnings here.
And there are others, plenty others,
who would take stock to the amount
of 800, $500 or $500 each if a move
ment in the right direction was start
ed. Good men to take the lead would
insure success from the start,

can, in a modest way, start the ball to
