Let the Indian Get Busy.

The st. Paul Globe thinks there is q
good deal in the remark made by Presi
dent Roosevelt in his speech at Grand
Canyon, Arizona, Wednesday about the
necessity for protecting the Indian from
the eastern philanthropist. 1t is seri.
Gus fact that the Indian has suffered
about as much from the faddists in
philanthropy as he has from the brutal
whites who taught him fresh vices while
robbing him.
The Indian has arrived at that stage
of development where he is better fol
being left alone. He has very nice
sense of the fact that the white man
has come to stay, and that the Indian
must presently work for living like his
white brother. 1t cost something in
blood and treasure to cultivate this
sense of appreciation in the Indian, but
he knows it very well now. He will
profit by the knowledge if the faddists
can be kept away from him. He must be
taught that he is not part of the
scenery and that there are other things
for him to do but loaf about waiting
for ration day.
The Free Press agrees with its st.
st. Paul contemporary. The quicker the
red man is given to understand that he
must toll for his daily bread bet
ter it will be for all parties concern
ed The fact is the Indian should be
told in no uncertain tones that he must
root, hog, or die"
The days of the picturesque and the
romantic for the mobile son of the for
est" are thing of the past. He can call
them up in sweet memory, but in these
practical times he should be made to
earn his own living, despite the chatter
of the sentimentalists.

Applies to Whites as Well.

Booker 7. Washington has happy
faculty of illustrating aptly with stories
his remarks on the needs of his own peo-
pie in the south The great colored
emancipation spoke before the Woman's
club in Chicago on Saturday and he de-
clared that the toothbrush is an article
of value in the civilizing of the people
''When at our school at Tuskegee, after
the second and third disappearance, the
toothbrush is replaced, as it were, by its
own motion, we know that salvation is
assured. l don't care how poor man is
when he comes to Tuskegee he is required
to purchase toothbrush.

In the tenth edition of the Encyclope-
dia Britannica, the city of Minneapolis is
designed as the capital of Minnesota.
This is clearly an error. 1t is strange
how such mistake could have been
made in publication of that character
Ii, the hurry incident to the getting out
of a daily newspaper mistakes-and
serious ones, too-will creep in, much to
the annoyance of editors, but here is a
supposed standard work, published for
reference purposes, that contains blum

know how to spend their money. They'll
buy an expensive clock when not one in
the family can tell the time"
Mr. Washington's remarks are not only
applicable to the colored people, but to
large number of whites as well. To
know how to spend money so as to Sc
cure the greatest good from it is science
which but comparatively few people
have yet been able to master. EXtrav-
agant living and foolish expenditures of
earnings are two great errors the work
ing class generally speaking have to
contend with Many honest, hardwork-
inc men and women do not want to
spend money foolishly, but they were not
taught how to spend it wisely.

An Excellent Plan.

George NJ. Palmer's plan to have the
supervisors of the several towns together
with the pathmasters meet in Mankato
and listen to an address on good road
building by George w. Cooley of Mime
apolis, is one meriting the support of
those who are interested in improved
highways. Mr.. Cooley can give to the
supervisors and the road overseers valu-
able information on the subject and as
this is the season of the year when road
improvement is inaugurated, the advice
of Mr. Cooley will come in properly: 1t
is to be hoped that the call of Mr.. Pal
mer will be responded to by a large at
tendance of those who are in authority.
Mr.. Cooley i, well qualified to tell the
road overseers how to make the most of
the material they have at hand. This is
the secret of road building.

ACCEPTS A PERMANENT CALL
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
Rev. Arthur E. Heathcote has accepted
the permanent call to the pastorate of
the Belgrade Congregational church Rev.
Heathcote has occupied the pulpit of this
church for some time and he gave emf
nent satisfaction. The congregation has
been added to, which shows the popu-
larity of the gentleman and also his work
in the cause of Christ has borne fruit.
Rev. Heathcote is clever gentleman, a
sincere Christian and his continuation
as pastor of the Belgrade church cannot
help but result in doing good, not only
for his congregation, but the community
in which he lives.

Missouri produces much more coal than
the general public is aware, says The
Duluth Herald. Thirty six counties in
the state, more than third of the whole
number, are al-producing. Last years
output was the largest on record, reach
ing total of 4,O6l ,23l tons, which sold
for S5,32l,74 an average of Sl.3l per
ton The increase in amount over 1901
was 247,704 tons, and SG05,4l0 in value.
Macon county continues to head the list,
with an output for 1902 of lbs, 1873 tons,
which sold for 1880, rO7, an increase in
value of S2S7,7sO over 1901, when the
production was less by 1920 tons. The
counties next in rank in coal mining
are Lafayette, Randolph, Bates and
Adair, the latter having moved up from
| fifteenth place since 1900. This large
supply of coal within the state offers to
st. Louis advantages unsurpassed by
other cities. The price of soft coal is
lower in that city than in any other in
the country, and the manufacturers are
not slow in taking advantage of the
condition.

The Great American Bird.

Since the Pilgrim Fathers long ago
Went cunning in the wood,
And shot a gobbler, plump and young
And found that it was good
AS salad, sandwich, roasted whole,
Or any way prepared,
The turkey keeps the table still
AS the great American bird.
Thanksgiving Day he proudly shares
The eagles lofty place,
And reigns the undisputed king
OF all the feathered race,
Stripped of his wattles and his plumes
In glorious state he lies.
Right from the oven smoking hot
With mince and pumpkin pies.
Stuffed with the lightest. whitest
bread.
An onion thinly sliced,
And mashed potatoes smoothly creamed
With thyme and pepper spiced,
With giblet gravy basted well
As he sizzles in the pan.
And served with crimson berry sauce
oh, match him if you CAM

INCREASED PRICES FOR CORN.
Snowflake Canning Factory Will Pay
S14 a Ton Next Season.

The Snowflake corn canning factory
will experience a season of unusual
prosperity next year If the support
promised by the farmers in this sec
ton materializes. w. II. Bingham OF
Brunswick, Me. the new manager OF
the business and E. II. Akley of Vernon
have been at work this week settling
for this years crop and making prepa-
rations for next years acreage which
is expected to amount to over 600 acres.
The concern has agreed to raise its
price from s12 to $14 per ton, and this
substantial increase has induced more
farmers than ever before to try their
hand at sweet corn raising. In addi-
tion the company promises to furnish
seed at 81 a bushel although on account
of the scarcity of sweet corn the price
is as high as IS at present. There is
no crop which yields the farmer amy
quicker profit than corn for canning
purposes. A fair yield is three or
four tons to the acre and on extra
good land as many as five tons have
been harvested.
The local stock company which owns
the factory is spending this years divi-
dend in making substantial improve
ments on the buildings so that they will
be in good shape for next seasons
business. Under the new manage
ment all the cans used at this factory
will be manufactured here, and ii is
expected that a force of men will be-
gin this work before long.
All farmers in this section will be
glad to know that the factory will be
operated next season, and the sub
stantial raise in the price paid for corn
will no doubt secure as large an aver
age as can be handled successfully. The
past season was an exceptionally poor
one for raising sweet corn but there
is small likelihood that two such years
will come together.
