Old Soldiers Do Not Take Interest as

Topeka, March 16-During the past

THE COMMISSIONS END
Affairs Of Five Tribes Must be Wound
Up,

Washington, March 15--The senate
Indian committee has reached an i'm
portant decision in regard to the
Dawes commission. 1t will offer an
amendment in the senate to the Indian
appropriation bill to reorganize the
commission. This decision was
reached after several prolonged ses-
sions behind closed doors, in which
the question was debated in all its
bearings. There has been dissatis-
faction with the commission for some
time, This feeling has been twice
strongly expressed on the house side,
where the Indian commission last
year refused to make the appropria-
tion as large as was asked for.
This year the same committee re-
duced the membership to three. I'm
der the organization plan decided on
by the senate committee the commits
sion Is to consist of four members,
and time limit is fixed within which
it must wind up its labors. This limit
is July |, 1908. The committee will re-
commend that the chairman of the
commission shall be $1,000, which is
considerably more than the salary
now paid. No one is named for the
Craftsmanship.
The intention is to make the salary
sufficient to induce first-class man to
accept the place, but whoever is
named will be expected to devote all
his attention to it and set the commits
sion pace that will wind up the
affairs for the five civilized tribes
within the time specified time. Con-
gress, In short, has grown tired of the
eternal delay which has characterized
the Gwork of the Dawes commits
sion and is determined to wind
up its existence as soon as possible.

Inauguration Day.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press
The proposition to change the day for In
augurating the President of the United
States from March to day late in April
will be brought before Congress again at
the present session and an effort made to
pass it and have 1t sent to the states for
ratification. AS nearly all the state legisla-
lures will be in session this winter the
adoption at this session of joint resolution
amending the constitution in this respect
would have good chance Of gaining the
early approval Of enough states to secure
it's Incorporation in the Constitution Of the
United States.
Two propositions have been made to this
effect. One is embodied in a resolution in
troduced by Senator Hoar and which has
already passed the Senate. 1t provides for
from March 4, 1905, to the last Thursday OF
April, 1905, and then and thereafter making
the last Thursday in April in every fourth
year the regular Inauguration day. 1t is
also provided that the term of the Fifty
eighth Congress and all future Congresses
shall be extended to the last Thursday in
April in every odd year. and that the term
Of each new Congress shall begin on that
day. This proposition needs only two
thirds vote in the House of Representatives
and the approval of three-fourths of the
states to become part OF the Constitution
The other proposition advocated by the ma
tional committee appointed to consider this
matter simply proposes to change the date
of Inauguration day. leaving the term Of
Congress to expire as now, March 4. .,-s,
The resolution introduced by Senator Hoar
Is the more comprehensive, and having
passed the Senate 1t Is in a position to OBJ
tain a favorable two-thirds vote in the
House and be sent to the states for rati-
fication. The Indictment season argument
which applies so strongly to the proposed
change Of Inauguration day from early in
March to late In April does not apply to
Congress. But the short session of Congress
is acknowledged to be too brief to properly
perform the required work, and the oppor-
tunity for. lengthening 1t at the same time
that the date Of Inauguration day Is chang
ed should not be lost. The addition Of
nearly two months to the length Of the
short session is as desirable as a change
in the date OF inauguration day on account
Of the weather. Congress should make both
changes and secure two improvements at
one and the same time.

Needs Of the American Army.

An interesting tribute to the American
man of business was paid last Saturday
night when Maj. Gen. Henry c. Corbin,
adJutant general of the army, discussed
''The Army and Its Needs at the annual
dinner of the Cleveland chamber Of COM
merce. Ordinarily the administration of the
army has been debated within comparative
ly narrow limits. and has too generally
been regarded as a matter of little concern
to the non-professional. Now it Is spread
before the entire country and is emphasized
wherever possible by President Roosevelt,
Secretary Root, Gen. Corbin and many
other active believers in projected legisla
ton which aims to lessen that friction
which has frequently caused serious trouble
in the War Department and vast amount
Of popular comment which was based MAIN
ly upon misapprehension and faulty infor-
nation. In order that better organization
may result, an appeal is now made to the
American merchant to lend his all-powerful
aid to the general staff bill. That he will
do so is reasonably certain, for the argu-
ment in favor of the measure is of the
strongest and least answerable sort. That
the present system has friends, goes with
out saying; but no one Of these has at
tackled more than that section Of the staff
he Is particularly interested. The broad
principles Of the bill must meet with ap-
proyal. because the measure offers a solu
tion hitherto unthought of by any one who
had both the disposition and the power to
work 1t out before Congress and the peo-
pie.
Gen. Corbin's argument was we'll received
because it was sound impersonal and I'M
selfish. The proposed legislation contains
no provision that will be advantageous to
him. Those who know Secretary Root know
that he has no thought for anything but
the welfare Of the army for which he has
sacrificed so many personal interests, and
they also know that the Secretary will con-
slider himself amply rewarded If the mil
lions OF people whom he desires to truly
serve will support his efforts to create for
the army what Gen. Corbin calls "a har-
monious and intelligent method of co-ordi-
nation and direction

Mr.. Bryan's Visit to Mexico.

Mr.. Bryan explains that his visit to Mex
leo will not be of interest to the public: that
private business will occupy him, and that
he has no appointment for private con-
ference with President DiaZ. But it Is for
tunate for him that he Is going at the time
when the silver question Is under discus
sion there and the gold standard is being
recommended for the country by some dis
tinguished f1nanciers. Important as his
private business may be, we may be sure
that his ears while he is In the country will
not be closed to the leading topic Of the
hour, but that he will find the time to give
attention to 1t. and mayhap throw out some
suggestions Of his own for the benefit of
the Mexican people. When the busis blows,
the old war horse. though turned out to
grass, pricks up his ears and gallops across
the pasture in the direction Of the sound.
No discussion of the silver question in Mex
leo while Mr.. Bryan is in the country will
fail to secure his attention.
