THE CARE OF INDIANS.

should be their ultimate absorption In
to the body of our people But in many
cases this absorption must and should
be very slow. In portions of the Ind
ian Territory the mixture of blood has
gone on at the same time with prog
ress in wealth and education. SO that
there are plenty of men with varying
degrees of purity of Indian blood who
are absolutely indistinguishabIe in
point of social, political. and economic
There are other tribes which have as
yet made no perceDtible advance to-
ward such equality. To try to force
such tribes too fast is to prevent their
2cing forward at all. !
Moreover. the tribes live under wide
ly different conditions. Where a tribe
has made considerable advance and
lives on fertile farming soil 1t is possi-
bic to allot the members lands in sew
crafty much as is the case with white
settlers. There are other tribes where
such a course is not desirable. On the
aria prairie lands the effort should be
to induce the Indians to lead pastoral
rather than agricultural lives, and to
permit them to settle in villages rather
than to force them into isolation.
The large Indian schools situated re-
mote from any Indian reservation do a
special and peculiar work OF great i'm
portance. 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 step
toward the absorption of the Indian Is
to teach him to earn his living; yet II
is not necessarily to be assumed that
in each community all Indians f,ust
become either tillers OF the soil or
stock raisers. Their industries may
properly be diversified. and those who
show special desire or adaptability for
Industrial or even commercial pur-
| scits should be encouraged SO far as
l. practicable to follow out each his own
bent.
| Every effort should be made to de-
velop the Indian along the lines of
| natural aptitude, and to encourage the
| existing native Industries peculiar to
certain tribes. such as the various
kinds OF basket weaving. canoe build

| Above all. the Indian boys ana girls
should be given confident command OF
coloquial English. and should ordi-

struggle with the conditions under
which their people live. rather than for

highly developed community.

"A Scathing Indictment.

Last week the people Of Iberia
parish were treated to genuine sur
prise. BY some chance grand jury
with some regard for their oaths, was
empanneled and they actually investi-
gated things with results that are
decidedly sensational. From the
showing made nearly every official in
the parish deserves to be indicted for
crime or neglect of duty. The only
reason the jury did not do their
whole duty and indict the derelicts,
we suppose is the fact that they knew
they could never be convicted. The
summary of the report is clncher
in the way of reason why Vermilion
objected TO being in the same judicial
district. It says:
''As a whole VIE regret to report
a general unsatisfactory condition of
public affairs. The laws are not
respected as they deserve. Crlmi-
nails have no fear of peace officers, as
a rule. Parish accounts not properly
kept and parish receipt not fully col
7ected. Determinations occur in
many of the departments. In some
instances commissions are held by
deputy sheriffs and policemen who
are personally unfit to occupy the
positions. Systems of public accounts
are faulty in the extreme and the
public health rules are disregarded.
Public warrants are at discount and
that external evidence of advance
ment so desirable conspicuously alb
sent. Respectfully submitted,

The Dignity of the Printing Bust
ness.

I have heard people speak some
times in disparing and depreciating
way about the printing business and
Of printers, principally forsooth be-
cause on the wings OF rumor they
have somewhere heard that there was
little money in it. Printing is an
educational business and a dignilied
one. Around it cluster more tradi-
tions, more trials, more defeats, more
triumphs, more glorious achieve
ments, than around any other. 1t
more nearly approaches an art in It's
highest development than any other;
and it has attached to it more honor
ed names and more splendid attain
ments than nearly all the other trades
combined The preservation of the
laws and traditions of nations are due
to it. The intellectual and scientific
development of the world would have
been greatly retarded without it, and
as Mr.. Thomas truly says: 'tlt has
history which goes back TO unknown
centuries in China, and its earliest
inventors in Europe came near being
martyrs for discovering an art which
has done more to spread civilization
and religion than any other known to
man.
Let us then resolve to uphold the
dignity of the printing business; LET
US study its history, read the lives OF
its founders. Let us know more
about what it has done for The world,
what it continually is doing. Don't
let US stop where we are simply be,
cause we know three EN- space from
an en- quad. Let Us dip into the
broader and deeper literature OF our
craft, and in that fountain find tho
peace and hopefulness we need. And
when we hear some fellow who runs
an overall factory, or who puts up
potted cheese, speak In deprecia-,
ting way about our beloved trade, If
we cannot find words to outWardl3
answer him, inwardIy reflect what Rs
has behind his craft, what We have
behind ours, aud where he Woulf
