races have intermarried until travellers
In the territory assert that the Indians
are divided into two general classes
white men and negroes" There are,
however, soEie twelve or fifteen thou
sand full.bloods in the territory. Hun.
dreds Of these Indians have been grad.
uated from the best colleges In the
United States. while thousands have
received an excellent education In the
schools maintained by the tribal gov.
ernments. Their degree of literacy Is
much higher than that of the whites
who have invaded the territory. But
the Indian Is now standing on the
threshold of United States citizenship.
His tribal governments must be merged
into the Union. Since 1903 the Dawes
commission has been engaged In the
work Of allOtting 3O,OOO,OOO acres of
valuable land among some $1,000 legit-
innate heirs out Of 100000 claimants.
The stupendOus character Of this task
and the difficulties In the way of equal.
~ dividing the land IRE pointed out in
an article In the Forum by Thomas +.
Willard. In the opinion Of Mr.. Millard
this equalization" which Is costing
the government hundreds Of thousands
of dollars, Is in reality farce. The
Indians desired to divide the land by
the very simple plan Of giving each
man his and his family's share Of the
land he was living on and partitioning
unoccupled land among those who had
no regular place of abode. MIR. Mil
lard believes this plan should have
been followed.
Heretofore, when Englishmen have
undertaken to explain why we Amerl.
cans compete against them In the mar
kets Of the world, they have attributed
our success to the skill Of our work.
men and the superiority Of our ma.
chine tools. In recent interview Sir
I Charles Beresford has INDUCED In
different explanation, he attributing
our success to our business methods.
He said: America excels In admins.

where" What Lord Beresford says
about lack of administration In Eng.
land may be SO. but what he says about
English wOrkmen being rs skillful as
American wOrkmen cannot be SO, else
there would not be delegation Of fifty

machine tools so well and productivity.
But this Ii not to the point. What
Lord Beresford says about American
business administration Ii true. The
head Of every successful American en-.
terprise knows the business which he
directs. and, knowing II, Is prepared ia
