The Indian Problem.

A pretty clear conception OF the
Indian problem may be had by study
OF an article by Frank Woods, which
is published in the Outlook. In this
Mr.. Woods gives the following figures
and facts upon which he bases his
argument that the methods Of the
government in caring for the Indians
are not the best. He says:
For more than twenty years the
pc ,ple Of the United States have
sought to find the solution of the
Indian problem in education. and
large sums have been appropriated
and used for this purpose. Let us
consider some Of the figures. There
are not more than 100000 Indians in
the United States. For them the
government holds in trust funds
amounting to about $24,OOO.0O0.
They own about 100000 acres Of
land, that is held for them by the
government, which would give about
46O acres and 800 in money to every
man, woman and child. After giving
100 acres Of land to each Indian, there
would still remain $4,000, 900 acres
which could be sold for their benefit
and thrown open to white settlement.
II the Indians had their own, and
we're free from government care, they
would be the richest people on the
face OF the globe. Out of the 5000
total, 100000 Indians are now self.
supporting.
During the last thirty years $780,
00O, 900 has been spent on an Indian
population not exceeding 100000.
The appropriations OF the United States
government for Indians in 1901 were
So, 040, ATS. SO, and more than $780,
QUO was used for education. In 1877
only $4,000 was appropriated for
Indian schools. There has been q
large and constant increase to the
present time, until in the last twenty
years $46, 200, 900 has been spent by
the government for the education Of
not over 10000 Indian pupils. In
addition q very large amount has
been spent BY the mission schools Of
the various Christian denominations.
There were, to 1901, 2,208 Indian
school employees. The education Of
each pupil cost the government more
thar $3.50. Have we commensurate
resultsP Is not the solution Of the
Indian problem apparently still far
awayp

The Canadian Northwest.

several weeks ago we warned Lne
readers Of the REFLECTOR against the
aattering promises Of the Canadian
northwest and advised them to stay
in Kansas. A letter to the New York
Evening Post shows upon what good
basis our advice was given. The
wtitsr says:
1.-The basis Of Mr.. Chamberlain
imperialist federation scheme seems
to be the feeding Of Great Britain by
the United States and Russia, which
are now the chief food exporters to
the United Kingdom, with the United
States far ahead Of Russia. And In
this plan Canada. particularly her
new northwest, is to do the supplant-
ng.
"Have you observed in all this talk
how enormously the grain production
OF the Canadian northwest Is ex-
aggeratedP A Winnipeg special in
your issue Of Saturday estimates the
total wheat crop Of Manitoba this year
at SO. 900, 900 bushels, and that OF the
entire Canadian northwest, exclusive
Of Manitoba, at only 100000 to
20, 900, 900 bushes. The Manitoba
wheat field 10 not at all new, and is
now well developed, butt is the new
Canadian northwest that is to feed
the British empire and put the Amer'-
can farmer out OF business. Is there
not somewhere gross exaggeration,
never equalled before in the history
Of land booming or nation boomingP
The Canadian northwest has now been
exploited for several years as the
finest and largest wheat country
under the sun; 1t has been advertised
as such BY the Canadian press and
the government, and 1t seems to have
been accepted as such by all the
English people and by part Of the
American people. l have read in the
Canadian press that under full
development 1t will produce one bill
lion Of bushels Of wheat annually, and
yet 1t comes up this year with total
product Of less than 10000, 900 bush
els, not much more than half that Of
the territory Of Oklahoma, and Just
about half as much as-the dusty plains
Of eastern Washington, which few
years ago were supposed to be worth
less, are producing. The single state
Of Kansas has produced this year
about six times - much wheat as the
new Canadian northwest with its area
Of 3 million square miles.

Epigrams by Roosevelt.

No other battle Of the civil war last.
ing but one day shows as great per
! centage Of the loss as that which
occurred here upon the day on which
Antietam was fought.
II the issue Of Antietam had been
other than 1t was, it is probable that
at least two great European powers
would have recognized the independ'
ence Of the confederacy.
The revolutionary war would have
been shorn Of well-nigh all its results
had the side Of Union and liberty
been defeated In the civil war.
There was no patent device for Sc
curing victory by force Of arms forty
years ago, and there is no patent de-
vices for securing victory for the
forces Of righteousness in civil life
now. .s ..a.-..
The qualities essential to good
public service now are in all their
essentials exactly the same as in the
days when the first congresses met to
provide for the establishment Of the
Union.
There are many qualities which we
need alike in private citizen and
public man, but three above all
courage, honesty and common sense.

Up to the New York Sun.

A few weeks ago the New York Sun
heard that Senator Burton favored
government effort toward flood pre-
vention and 1t grew very hilarious at
his expense. 1t declared in an edito-
rial meant to be scathing that no
reputable engineer on earth supports
or ever will support flood proven
ton plan that includes q reservoir
system.
Senator Burton was invited to ad-
dress the National Irrigation congress
on this very topic. The congress in
cluded delegates from 26 states, all
men directly interested In irrigation
and Its attendant work. 1t also in
cluded nearly q hundred engineers
interested In such enterprises, in
Guiding F. H. Newell, the chief Of the
U. s. irrigation bureau, and 40 Of his
assistants. Mr.. Burton introduced q
resolution reading thus:
Resolved; That It is the sense OF this
congress that the storage Of water In
the extensive catchment Of the streams
for the prevention Of floods, az well as
for power and irrigation, is both pos
sible and practicable and that the gov
eminent can accomplish as much or
more toward the preservation Of life
and property in the lower reaches Of
the streams than It can by It's present
method in trying to control them by
the levee system, and the waters thus
conserved would be Of .inestimable
value and blessing to the people in the
arid and semi-arid districts. We be-
Iieve that irrigation and food pre-
Vention are twin ideas to be developed
A-~~1hA~
The topic was discussed by the
engineers and delegates without a
dissenting voice and was adopted
unanimously by the most represent
alive body Of irrigationists and civil
engineers ever gathered in this nation.
1t was recognized as q most important
step in the development Of the west
the right use Of oil the water that
falls on our upland slopes. We pre-
dict that it will attract more at
tention and Its working out will do
more good than any similar plan pro-
posed for the vests betterment.

New YORK Sun to reverse itself.
