Indian Affairs.

sorption must and should be very SLOW In
portions of the Indian territory the mixture
of blood has gone at the same time with
progress In wealth and education, so that
there are plenty of men with varying de-
grees Of purity of Indian blood who are
absolutely indistlnguishable In point of So
cial, political and economic ability from
their white associates. There are other
tribes which have as yet made no percepti-
BILE 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 widely different conditions.
Where tribe has made considerable ad-
vance and lives on fertile farming soil 1t Is
possible to allot the members lands in sew
crafty much as Is the case with white set
tiers. There are other tribes where such q
course is not desirable. On the arid prairie
lands the effort should be to induce the In
dams to lead pastoral rather than agricul-
raj lives, and to permit them to settle in
villages rather than to force them into
isolation.
The large Indian schools situated remote
from any Indian reservation do a special
and peculiar work of great Importance.
But, excellent though these are, an i'm
mense 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 step to-
ward the absorption OF the Indian is to
teach him to earn his living; yet it is not
necessarily to be assumed that In each COM
nunity all Indians must become either till
ers OF the soil or stock raisers. Their in
dustries may properly be diversified. and
those who show special desire or adapta-
lu1,, piol mr. mi
pursuits should be encouraged so far as
practicable to follow out each his own bent
Every effort should be made to develop
the Indian along the lines of natural apti-
tude, and to encourage the existing native
industries peculiar to certain tribes, such

Through a wise provision OF the Congress
at its last session the White House, which
had become disfigured by incongruous ad-
Gitions and changes, has now been restored
to what it was planned to be by Washing
ton In making the reservations the ut
most care has been exercised TO come as
near as possible to the early plans and to
supplement these plans by careful study
of such buildings as that of the University
of Virginia. which was built by Jefferson.
The White House is the property of the
Nation and so far as Is compatible with
living therein it should be kept as 1t orig
inally was for the same reasons that we
keep Mount Vernon as it originally was
The stately simplicity Of its architecture is
an expression of the character of the period
in which it was built, and is in accord with
the purposes it was designed to serve. 1t
Is a good thing to preserve such buildings
as historic monuments which keep alive

partments are submitted to the Congress

amount or dimcult, important and benef1-
cent work which has been done Is Well-nigh
incalculable.
Our Constructive Craftsmanship.
Taking the work Of the Army and the
civil authorities together, 1t may be ques-
toned whether anywhere else in modern
times the world has seen better example
Of real constructive craftsmanship than our
people have given in the Philippine Islands.
High praise should also be given those
Filipinos in the aggregate very numerous
who have accepted the new conditions and
Joined with our representatives to work
with hearty good will for the welfare of
the Islands.
The Army has been, reduced to the mini
mum allowed by law. It is very small for
the size Of the Nation. and most certainly
should oe kept at the highest point OF
efficiency. The senior officers are given
scant chance under ordinary conditions to
exercise commandsQ commensurate with
their rank under circumstances which
would fit them to do their duty in time Of
actual war. Sc -
A system OF mane4vering our Army in
bodies of some little size has been begun
and should be steadily continued Without
such maneuvers it. Is. folly to expect that
in the event or POSSIBILITIES With any serious
foe even small army corps could be han
died to advantage seBoth our officers and
enlisted men are such that we can take
hearty pride in them Ne better material
can be found. But they must be thoroughly
trained, both as individuals and in the mass
The craftsmanship of the men must re-
ceive special attention. In the circum-
stances of modern warfare the man must
act far more on his own individual respon-
sibility than ever before. and the high In
diyidual efficiency OF the unit is of the ut
most Importance. Formerly this unit was
the regiment; 1t is now not the regiment,
not even the troop or company; 1t is the In
dividual soldier. Every effort must be
made to develop every workmanlike and
soldierly quality in both the officer and the
enlisted man.

1sthmian Canal,

Isthmian Canal,
The Congress has wisely provided that
we shall build at once an isthmian canal, If
possible at Panama. The Attorney General
reports that we can undoubtedly ACQUIRE
good title from the French Panama Canal
Company. Negotiations are now pending
with Colombia to secure her assent to our
building the canal. This canal will be one
Of the greatest engineering feats of the
twentieth century; greater engineering
feat than has yet been accomplished during
the history Of mankind. The work should
be carried out as continuing policy with
out regard to change Of administration; and
1t should be begun under circumstances
which will make it a matter of pride for all
administrations to continue the policy
The canal will be Of great benefit to Amer
lea and of Importance to all the world. It
will be Of advantage to us industrially and
also as improving our military position. 1t
will be of advantage to the countries of
tropical America. 1t is earnestly to be
hoped that all of these countries will do as
some of them have already done with sig
nal success. and will invite to their shores
commerce and improve their material con-
ditions by recognizing that stability and or
der are the prerequisites of successful de-
velopment. No Independent nation in Amer
lea need have the slightest fear Of agrees
sion from the United States. 1t behooves
each one to maintain order within its own
borders and to discharge it's just obliga-
tions to foreigners When this is done they
can rest assured that, be they strong or
weak, they have nothing to dread from out
side interference. More and more the in
creasing interdependence and complexity
of international political and economic re-
Iations render it incumbent on all civilized
and orderly powers to insist on the proper
policing of the world.

Then Herself.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, April 1.-THE
coroner of this city was called, late last
night, to investigate the deaths of Mrs.
Edward Tower and her young son. Ac-
cording to information obtained by the
coroner, Mrs. Tower shot and killed her

alteration. Mrs. Towers husband is
a wealthy and prominent resident of
this place.
According to Coroner Selfridge's ex-
PLANTATION, Mrs. Tower went to her son
Albert's room and emptied a five -cham-
Der revolver into his body. The boy
was found dead on the floor just inside
of the door of his room. Mrs. Tower
then sat on a bed in an adjoining room
and with another revolver shot herself.
Mr.. Tower was not at home at the
time of the shooting. Servants heard
the shots and forced an entrance into
the room where Mrs. Tower was. Mr..
Tower, DR.. Tuthill and Coroner Seld-
ridge were Immediately summoned. but
both Mrs. Tower and her son were
dead when they arrived.
Dr. Tuthill the family physician, said
that for six or seven days Mrs. Tower
had been subject to fits OF mental aber-
ration. which were not supposed to be
serious. She was nervous at times and
was often anxious about her son, whom
she fairly idolized. The boy was IA

Major Waller Tells Story Of Killing tn
Ugly FiIipinos.

Manila, April 11.-Major Littleton w. T.
Waller of the Marine Corps, who is be-
ing tried by court martial on the charge
of executing Samar natives without trial.
addressed the crowded court. today. The
major said he was either right or wrons,
in his actions and added that he desired
to cite five precedents which came under
the head of his own case. He alluded to
the naval battle at Santiago and the hui
manity he had shown to Spaniards who
We're captured, and said he had many
letters from Spaniards thanking him for
the kindness he had shown them.
Continuing, the major said that, in 1882.
he was with the British forces in Egypt
where Arabs captured pickets of Bengal
cavalry, decapitated the prisoners and
placed their heads on poles. Afterwards
all the Arabs who were caught were shot
without trial.
During the campaign in China the Chi
nese mutilated the dead and tortured the
wounded to death. Consequently when II
Boxer or fanatic was captured, he was
executed Immediately without reference.
This was true in the case of the troops
of every nation in China. 1t was true
during the three weeks he commanded
the Americans there. But the same
thing occurred later, when he was no
longer in command. No protest was made
and he had every right to believe that
his acts were approved, so far as the
American forces were concerned. He
knew they were approved by those of
other nations.
