IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Washington Ga.) Press believes

Referring to the hearing before the
state executive council the Council
Bluffs Nonpareil concludes that Re
forms are needed not merely for rail-
road assessments but all along the line.
1t is fact that there is as much law
evasion in the assessment of property
in every township in the state as there
is in the executive councils assessment
of railroads. Law evasion seems to be
the very aim of the average assessor

In noticing that some criticise the
distinction between tangible and in

GREAT is SIBERIA.

\ . ARGUMENT is possible in the
~ United States on the question as
to which is the greatest country in the
world from the standpoint of wealth,
high citizenship, manufactures, COM
merce and along ali other industrial
lines. This is the greatest nation in
the world, considered in those lights.
We have numerous citizens who be-
iieve We have more territory than any
other nation. We are in the habit of
telling how small England would look
by the side of Texas; we like to boast
of the states we have which are big
ger than France.
Now, let US sing low, for Ebenezer ].
Hill, member Of congress for Connecti-
cut, has discovered land that makes
ours look like a small island in d great
sea. Mr.. Hin has been through Siberia,
and what he saw there made him think
his little old wooden nutmeg S ate
wasn't so snany pumpkins after all
He comes home with a most respectful
notion Of the great territory which
comprises Siberia. It is a lot bigger
than Mr.. Hill thought it was.
In an address before the National
Geographical society, Mr.. Hill gave
some facts about his trip. To get an
idea Of Siberia's vastness. he institutes
some comparisons. Said Mr.. Hill:
Let US measure it by countries with
which we are familiar. Take all of
the United States between the oceans
and add Alaska. the Philippines. Ha-
waii and Porto Rico; then add Eng
land. Ireland. Scotland and Wales;
then cross the English channel and
take France. Belgium, Holland, Dem
mark. Norway and Sweden, Germany.
Switzerland. Italy. Spain and Portugal,
Austria, Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria,
Roumania and Servia, making ali Of
Europe. except Russia, and you could
put them All in Siberia and have land
enough left to make thirty-five states
like Connecticut. and Manchuria will
make seventy more.
Il had thought Of Siberia as a con-
Wet settlement only, with a small pop
ulation composed largely of criminals
and political exiles. I found It a coun-
try of nearly 100000 people. 81 per
cent of whom were either natives or
voluntary immigrants, with the exile
system discontinued or transferred to
the island of Sakhalin. and all. as
rule. earning better wages. living in
better houses, having better food and
clothing, and enjoying much more po-
litical and religious liberty and per
sonaI freedom than in European Rus
STA, and indeed in some other European
countries in whose behalf our sympa-
thies have not been evoked. I had
believed il to be a frozen wilderness
and a desert waste. The portion
through which Travelled was land like
Minnesota. the Dakotss and the foot
hills of the Rockies, where wheat and
rye and vegetables matured; where
Strawberries. currants and raspberries
abound; ; l,ere sheep, horses and cattle
Craze unsheltered through the year,
and where a greater extent Of virgin
forest Of splendid birch and pine is
found than the whole area Ct the
United States"
It is TO be hoped that Mr.. Hills ex-
ploratiOns and discoveries Will net
reach general circulation among the ex-
pansiontsts, for then they'll want 10
acquire ali the other countries on earth
so We can catch up as a land power.

Courlain, wee Captain Coulain and tiny

be enough of the family to make at

in all the pomp and panoply of war the
Courlains approach our border.
They cross il and Charge SAYS the

is perhaps in Detroit. where. in
all probability, an Unconditional

family and gives them a ride TO
the station, after which he yauss and
wonders why there amt anything
doin'" Still, in spite Of this hopeful
forecast, it behooves the United States
to be ready FOR the Courlain invasion.
It might possibly take two policemen
instead of one to round the family up.
Speaking in more serious vein, there
is nothing in the incident in the Can
adam parliament on Thursday, when
AR Courlain made his speech. to cause
anything but amusement in this coun-

that they wouldn't know how TO start
a row. The talk in the parliament
arose over alleged determinations by
England against Canada and in favor
OF the United States. These discrimi-
nations are more imaginary than real.
England isn't going 70 perform any
aet Of friendship for this country when
the consequences o. that act are
fraught with disaster TO one Of her
most loyal colonies. But all that aside,
We respectfully suggest that the best
way to avoid any possibility of trouble
is for Canada to vote herself away
from England and into the United
States. We could make her mighty
comfortable here in our house.

man" he said to the agent, but I can
be he'll Of an Indian"
The story is recalled by the debate in
congress Thursday over the appropria-
tons for Indian schools Mr.. Cannon
Of Illinois, who has fought many an
appropriation n his time, but who new
er fought any Indians, opposed the
grant 10 the Carlisle. Pa, school. he
said it was the height of cruelty to ed
ucate an Indian in the east and then
relegate him to the savagery Of his
tribe. Delegate Smith of Arizona de-
elared that the red man must be edu-
Gated amid natural environments; that
IS, the schools should be located close
TO the abodes of the tribes.
The stand t. ken by Messrs. Cannon
ana Smith seems proper. In9ead of
expending large suns of money in tax
ing Indians to eastern schools and in
educating them there, the appropria-
tons would be put to better use by dis
tributing them near the homes Of the
students. In this way the other mem
oers Of the tribes could have the edu-
catlonal examples constantly before
them. The process would be so grad
uai that it would be hardly noticed.
and when the Finished student was
turned out he would cause no shock
10 his people
But after all, the great trouble lies
II the pauperization of the Indians. If
the educated savage were required to
use his attainments or stave. there
would be more hope for his future. less
Tear of his lapsing into barbarism. The
1act that an Indian is educated. and
therefore competent to take care Of
himself does not ROW constitute a bar
to his receiving rations from the gov
eminent
lie hasn't.the same incentive TO labor
that a white boy or girl has, and con-
sequently he is quickly contented to
I'VE by the bread OF Uncle Sam alone.
on the other hand, few fields of labor
are open TO educated Indians. Just
Why this should be is not apparent, but
the probable reason is that they are
Incompetent. In spite of all the money
that has been spent in educating them,
there is not today in the United States
army fun blooded Indian who holds
a commission; there are no Indian
civil engineers, or lawyers or doctors
or mining experts, nor are they in any
Oh the so-called learned professions.

GEORGE WASHINGTON.

Ii OVER THE UNITED STATEo
Il today the birthday anniversary Of
the one man whose name is and for
ever will be indissolubly linked with
the history of the republic, is to be cell
ebrated. George Washington was not
without his faults, for he was human,
but one thing is true of him which is
true Of no other american citizen. His
transgressions have been blOtted out
forever from the page of recollection.
AS a forgotten writer aptly and
beautifully expressed it, when speaking
Of a celebration of Washington birth
day: Never, perhaps, was tbs mem
DRY of man so honored, for never had
there lived before public man whose
virtues only can be remembered. %
When he was aiding, in al humble
way, 10 wrest the Ohio valley from the
French, Washington wrote to a friend
that there %Ss a cheerful sound about
the whistling OF bullets and that he
really enjoyed it.
King George later heard what Wash
ington had written, and he said, with a
sheer The young man who wrote
that cannot have heard many bullets"
Washington at that time had not been
schooled in war. but only a few years
later he heard the whistling of King
Georges bullets about him and he
drove the men who fired them into the
Atlantic ocean. It is that Washing
ton with whom we are best acQuaint-
ed. The man and the emergency met,
and the man was equal to the emer-
geney.
IN honoring his memory today let US
think of his patience under persecu-
ten, his modesty when in power. his
greatness at all times and under all
circumstances. We can't all hope to
occupy that highest of places. First
ir war, first in peace and first in the
hearts of his countrymen;" but we can.
guided BY the example of Washington,
so live that we may leave to those who
follow us characters unspotted. the
memory of careers without reproach.
