1t il the opinion OF the HERALD
that to avoid proving up on home

is not entirely in conformity with
sound moral and political princi-
pies. Of eouase there may be rea
sons that will outweigh all Others
and afford valid excuse, but, gen
orally speaking, that status can
not be assumed as the governing
one. The government and nature

Should the comming meeting be-

able settlement with the city coun-
Gil We would suggest that they
open up correspondence with the
city fathers of Nezperce for pos
sible sale of their plant here. We
would be ready to make any sort
of an old trade, providing the
system could be guaranteed to
meet our present demands and was
warranted to not rip, ravel or get
out of whack when we needed
water for drinking purposes.
The Nezperce herald. (Nezperce, Idaho) 1900-1957, 1902-02-14

A bill has been introduced in
Congress by Senator Mitchell OF
Oregon providing for the sale of
Indian lands Immediately on the
death of the present owner. Such
a measure should pass, only it
should go farther and provide that
all Indians could sell their lands.
A law of that kind would greatly
facilitate the growth and prosper
ity of the reservation country.
The Indians who would sell are
the ones who will not cultivate
their farms themselves under any
circumstances, and such ought to
be in position to give way to civil
lied and progressive people.
