Faithful, Honest. Able.

There may be men among them who
are not all right, but IL is impossible
10 avoid that in any large institution.
Iaking them as a class, they discharge
their duties faithfully and honestly. and
use all OF their ability and influence to
protect the Indian. Many of the per
sons who take it upon themselves to
condemn inspectors are merely theo-
rists who are acting on hearsay and do
not have personal knowledge Of the
conditions.
The suggestion that the Indians be
placed in charge Of the War Depart
ment is carrying the matter back thirty
years. That was tried. and il did not
succeed The inspectors chosen from
civil life have been rar more success
ful with the Indians than the army
officers. and a much greater portion ~
them has given satisfaction TO the In
dams and the Interior Department.

K Tho Keezell- Barksdale bill ITO pro

Sly named 1t Is not a primary election
bill. It is bill to provide for party con-

sates to such conventions. Under 1t the
people will not be permitted TO vote di-
Il ,ectly for candidates for Governor or 9th
\, er State officers, for Representatives IN
4 Congress-, or for Senators In Congress-.
II Tn all state contests delegates from the
Il cities and counties are to be chosen by
primary elections to State convention
!, and instructed to vote for this or tnat
b candidate, but the convention VIII make

u to Representatives in Congress, except
that conventions will be held In each dis
5trlct, the delegates to be chosen BY pri-
mary and instructed. In tho case OF
United States Senators. II Is provided that
R SIN any primary election held to select
the candidate OF the party to be voted
for United States Senator by the mem

81 sembly. the names OF all candidates for
r United States Senator shall be printed on
the same ballot as the candidates for
state Senator and House OF Delegates.
9sand the election shall be governed by the
same conditions as are prescribed as to
anch officers under the provisions Of this
act, and the person receiving the highest
II number of votes In the senatorial or
House district for United States Senator
shall be deemed the choice OF his party.
Il md the nominees for the Senate or

Now, it is provided In the first clause
I OF the bill that whenever. under authority

formulated a road bill to be submitted
10 the next Legislature, as We learn from

Tho senboard as an Independent road,

mean that there will be competition be-

terest both OF the railroads concerned

considered that the railroads are most
important factors IN the development OF
the South, and they are In themselveT

TO large numbers Of men; and when they
are prosperous the country which they
pass is benefited. Some people seem to
think that 1t makes little difference to

well say that it makes no difference to the
