PUBLIC OPINION.

When 1t goes anss the public does SO with an In
tention Of being right The honesty and purpose Of
the people people remain and probably ever will
remain unchallenged. Nor is public error due to any
incapacity Of perception and deduction. By expert
ence and training the American public regarded
group Of individuals, is fitted for clear sight and
rect judgment Moreover, the people, individually,
the most sophisticated in the world. Error must he
charged to lazy trait.
Public opinions sole fault is superfciality and IN
difference Is the cause of superhcality The failure
of the public mind to penetrate the crust and find
the inwardness Of situation is due to the fact of
individual inattention.
Public opinion Is composite mind, and the proc
ess of its formation resembles chemical process
1t is governed by tendencies of the greatest OF
which is the tendency of people to agree in the main
and to rely upon each others opinions. While 1t is
fact that individuality attaches to the ideas of
every man who thinks, making them differ from a
other IDEAS the difference is in the nonessentials
Contact of minds eliminates the nonessentials. One
education, experience. are common to all within
the sphere Tradition custom. habit and motive
are common to all. Familiarity with the common
process Of thought and reason begets confidence in
the Individual and 1t is easy to sacrifice the
essentials In drifting into argument with the
mon trend of opinion. The habit Of agreement be-
strengthened and fixed in the individual until
he longer takes the trouble to formulate precise
individual opinions for himself, leaving his opinions
to be determined by others or to put it otherwise he
permits public opinion" to do his thinking for him
on public matters. H6 Is lax mind. Public opinion,

VAGUE.
William H. Ludwig a Republican politician, who
is posted the situation in Indian Territory by way
of defending "slandered' Republicans down there,
makes some queer statements to Republic reporter.
He says among other things:
One Of the chief ways of making money
through the Indian lenses is when poor
Indian is financed in order get his allot-
ment. trust company may do that, and
then rent the land for, say 80 cents
acre. The company subrents it for $3.50 and
Sc acre, a nice profit. but perfectly les
climate. The lease is the security for the
money which the company has advanced
the Indian
Three or four hundred per cent sounds like ''nND
profit The Indian in roundabout manner, pays
rather high rate of interest According to the state
ment Of Mr.. Ludwig, Tams Bixby, chairman of the
Dawes Commission is also president of the Canadian
Valley Trust Company. Mr.. Ludwig indirectly says
that Mr.. Bixby. who is supposed to be looking after
the interests Of the poor Indian, is making through
the trust company mice profit of three or four hun
dred per cent by sublettng lands. Mr.. Ludwig de
c!ares that this is perfectly legitimate. 1t may be-
but that the public be not mistaken on the point
further explanation of such business methods would
be welcomed.
Mr.. Ludwig elucidates the resignation of Joseph
Mccoy Assistant United States District Attorney
in the Territory. Mccoy was counsel for the Cana
dian Valley Company. He figures largely in Missouri
3
lion had nothing to do with the fact that he acted as
counsel for the trust company At least, Mr. Ludwig
says so.
Though Mccoy was counsel for the Canadian Val.
ley Trust Company, ayers Ludwig, who is director
In the company there no Government informa-
ton which he could for the benefit of the trust
company" This may be true. But to the unbiased
observer, it is more than inappropriate that Mccoy
hold Office as Government prosecutor and simulta-
neously act as an official of trust company which
maintains financial relations with the Indians In the
case OF Bixby, the "inappropriateness" may be en-
phadsed.
Ludwig's statement, far it is an "explana-
tion is more perplexng than Chinese puzzle News
from Washington and the varied reports from the
Territory confirm the impression that light and light

haze with which the Republican conduct of Indian
affairs Is surrounded

WHITE WATER IN THE OCEAN.
Singular Phenomenon witnessed NJ
Rare Intervals IN ne TrOp-
Zeal Regions.

Of the many sights witnessed in the
oceans Of the globe, one Of the most
curious and most weird is that de-
scribed by sailors as 'the milky sea,"
ships being surrounded for several
hours by water that appears to be a
snowy whiteness. Compiled from ex-
Periences recorded during the last 20
years, an interesting account Of the
phenomenon is given on the North At
lantic and Mediterranean Pilot Chart.
The spectacle is restricted to the dark
ness OF night and rare occasions, and.
while it is limited mainly to the warm
rer waters of the tropical belt, it APP
pears to be more common in the In
dian ocean than in the Atlantic and
Pacific. From the white water the
light is so strong that ordinary news
paper print can be read on board ship,
but the scene all around is of an awe
inspiring description. The horizon is
blotted out, sea and sky seem to be-
come one in a sort Of universal lumi-
nous fog, which, like a London fog.
robs the observer Of the sense Of dis
lance and direction. the deck being lit
up with a CHASTITY, shadowIess light.
Last June of the west coast Of South
America a bucket Of the white water
emptied back into the sea rrsembled
molten lead. This curious sight has
interested scientific investigators. Oar

escent displays common at sea. there
Is no difficult explanation fortkcom-

sulting from il.
