INDIANS AS DIVORCE FIENDs.

They Regard Separation as One of the
Heritages of Civilization.
"The Indians have discovered the
beauties of the Dakota divorce laws and
are taking advantage OF thern,' said
Gen. Andrew A. Burt to newspaper
man at Fort Myer recently.
"At the present rate Of increase the
Indian divorce mill Of South Dakota In
five years will become more expensive
than the ready made divorce factories
for Fasteners. While an Indian d.
vorce was an unheard of thing half a
decade ago. sixteen petitions for legal
separation have been at Oacoma during
the last year by full hlooded Sioux
bucks and squaws. Divorces have come
to the Indian as one of the heritages OF
civilization. The Indian officials have
been trying for twenty years to induce
the Indian to be married according to
the white mans law.
Nov they have almost succeeded.
But the same law has taught them the
interesting fact that they can change
wives or husbands. They fail to I'M
derstand that the divorce law is any,
thing but a means to obtain the luxury
of an unlimited number Of marriages.
Many bucks and squaws who know not
a word of English and bear no mark OF
civilization except that of clothes come
to the attorneys offices and ask for di-
vorces when they have no reason but a
desire to form a new marriage. They
point to other Indians who have had
when the law provides the way.
when the Indian tribes were placed
on reservations and cut off from their
native wild life their respect for their
own social laws dwindled It was not
long before many were living in utter
disregard Of the family, obligations.
Bucks deserted squaws and squaws
took on new husbands without any
formality and without any reason ex-
cept their whims. Bigany was erased
from the tribal offences. It was to
remedy this evil that the Government
officials and the church missionaries de-
manded that the Indians be married ac-
cording to the South Dakota law. Now
that they have found out about the d.
vorces they have returned to their old
free life through the divorce avenue.
The Indian marriage of to-day is a
curious mixture of civilized methods
and tribal ceremonies. Unwilling to
give up their traditional customs, the
Indians are now using both tribal and

HOW PUBLEG BUSINESS rs DONE
/ How the public business is done is
well illustrated by some facts cited by
the Washington correspondent of the
New York Evening Post. In at least
three administrations an attempt has
been made to stop the New Orleans
mint. Conditions have so changed since
its establishment that its operation en-
tails needless and continued expense.
Bullion must be expressed to it at con-
siderable cost from the very mints
where the work could be done much bet
ter. The House of Representatives last
winter adopted compromise which
would have practically brought the
work to an end, but in the senate one
Louisiana acknowledgements to weak
and discredited minority-could hold up
his little finger, and the appropriation
would have to be continued. 1t was
done. Nor is the incident exceptional
An assay office is maintained at St.
Louis at a cost of $1,000 per annum
which takes in not more than s125,ooo
worth Of silver--a ridiculously large
percentage Of cost on the trifiing amount
Of metal 1t examines. And yet as long
as Senator cockrell lives that appro-
priation will go on.
Let us continue to howl for municipal
ownership of public utilities.

CAST Dowx, BUT NOT DisMAYED.

CAST down, BUT NOT DfSMAFED.
Professor LangIey's luck with his fly
ing machine is certainly hard, and yet
he does not despair. That hope which
promises that there will yet be good
flying on the aeroplane plan Soothes
and sustaius him in this dark hour. 1t
is true that his machine dropped into
the water before it had time to fly, but
he thinks it would have flown if it had
had time. He thus cheerfully says:
The assertion that the machine failed
for lack of power to fly is wholly mis-
take. The engine, the frame and all
the more important parts were practi-
cally uninjured The engine is actually
in good working order; the damage is
confined to the slightest parts like the
canvas wings and propeller, which can
be readily replaced. The belief of those
charged with the experiment in the ul-
innate success of the machine has been
in no way affected by this accident,
which is one of the large chapters
which always beset the initial stage of
experiments So novel as the present
one.
Such pluck deserves better luck.
which we hope it will have the very
next time. Professor Langley thinks
he is on the right track, even if his
machines so far haven't been.

NOT ALE GOLD,

All is not gold that glitters. An Aus
tralian reports that he recently ques-
toned number Of workingmen who
were enigrating from New Zealand to
Argentina as to why they were leaving
the country. They replied that it was
because there was no chance of their
rising out of the ruck of labor. One
mechanic said that few years ago he
could earn one pound a week more in
New Zealand than he could now, that
the minimum wage and the Arbitration
Court meant ruin to the man who
wanted to rise to be master, that the
minimum wage meant the maximum,
and that under the democratic tyranny
his hours of work were limited; that he
was not allowed to apprentice his boys,
and. in fact, the legislation of the last
ten years meant putting the energetic,
thrifty man on a level with the lazy
and thriftiess. All this, says the writ
luiJ CSSOldS Will OWN SApClt-
|ence in Australia of the last thirteen
years. He holds that the old-age PEN
sion scheme is really only tax on the
thrifty to keep the thriftless, and will
have to be abolished, as It is premium
on thriftlessness. The early closing
act, he says, works entirely in the in.
terests of big city firms, and has ruined
vast numbers Of suburban shopkeepers
whose trade was mostly In the evening
while the arbitration act has caused
constant worry tn employers, the most
trivial matters constantly dragging
them before the court, The result is
that money is being withdrawn from
industrial undertakings and either re-
moved from the country or allowed to
remain idle in the banks. The first de-
cision against demanded increase Of
wages will show, says the writer. how
inpotent the act can be to settle dis.
pute. It is time, he adds, that Austral-
ians recognize the meaning Of a stag

How to Prevent Croup,

1t will be good news to the mothers
OF small children to learn that Group
can be prevened.. The first sign of
Group is hoarseness. A day or two
before the attack the child becomes
hoase. This is soon followed by Pc
culiar rough cough. Give Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon
as the child becomes hoarse, or even
after the rough cough appears, and it
will dispel all symptoms of Group. In
this way all danger and anxiey may
be avoided. This remedy is used by
many thousands of mothers and has
never been known to fail. It is, in
fact, the only remedy that can always
be depended upon and that is pleasant
and safe to take. For sale by Prince
