Whether or not there are spots on the

weather conditions which set at naught
the calculations Of scientists. Down
south we are told that the cotton crop
is backward owing to low temperature.
But the crop will be as large as hereto

DECLINING TWO Million Dollars.

The advice of John u. Rockefeller to
@get all you can and keep all q tEn,'
has fallen on at least one pair ~ j.. 4
ears. 1t is possible, however, that DR..
William a. Harroun of Denver never
heard of this Standard Oil epigram.
According to reports, he is a busy
young man, who is trying to get ahead
In his profession and earn a living for
his wife and family. So he may not
have had time to pick up the chunks
Of wisdom that fall from the Rockefel-
Ter lips. At any rate he did not heed
them, as the fact that he recently re-
fused legacy of 100000 amply tes-
titles.
1t appears that two brothers in Ire
land made an agreement that the last
to die should leave his estate to the old
est surviving son of the other. This
agreement was carried 0lt by James
A. Harroun, who passed away recently.
The legacy, consisting of one of the
largest estates in the Emerald Isle, to-
gether with a comfortable bank ac-
count was made over to the Denver
physician, who is the oldest son of the
other brother
DR.. Harroun Immediately gave it to
his sister, Mrs. ]. NJ Lewis of Port
land, Me. Not dollar did he keep for
himself. The brief interview, in which
he stated the reasons for his action, is
refreshing. 1t would do to frame in a
parallel column with Rockefeller's adj
vice. The burden of it is not ''get all
you cam but earn what you get"
Here it is:
Why did I refuse the estate? Because
/ did not want 1t. I have made my own
living. Worked hard for every dollar l
earned. Expect to work hard for the dol
lars to come. Some of these days may
make 100000 of my own. Tlike to spend
my own money-the money / earn
would rather my sister had the money
She needs it more than 1 do. My wife
and have all the comforts Of life. What
more do want?
One comment of the Atlanta Consti-
tuition on the case is almost as good as
the physicians interview 1t says:
Is 1t not singularly agreeable to know
that among all the money mad scramblers
in this great Sodom of Mammon there is
this one independent, self responsible
Lot?
We think so-don't you?

Is Drunkenness Decreasing?


1t is the general observation Of those
who make study Of the question that
the number Of actual drunkards is on
the decrease. There are doubtless
many causes for this, but one Of the
most powerful is unquestionably an
industrial one. Employers will not
hire men who are known to drink to
excess. This sort of temperance ar
gument strikes home with the man who
depends on wages for his income. In,
this connection the provisions of the
various labor organizations against
drinking have also had decided infiu-
ence.
The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune
In discussing the subject says:
The American people are temperate

More land wanted is now tho
cry of the sturdy farmer who has
been driven out of the old hive
and must seek new home for
himself and his young family.
The Times is in daily receipt OF
letters of inquiry from such per-
sons and we regret to tell them
that less than five hundred can be
accommodated in the Cass Lake
Land District where more than
that number have been waiting
for the last five years. Enough
agricultural land to provide homes
for two thousand settlers has been
held up by the department under
the Morris law for forestry pur-
poses or in more emphatic words
for a play grounds for the idle
rich. We have often remarked in
the Times that the State of Mimi
esota could not afford to have this
large area of fertile land tied up
or devoted to any purpose but
agriculture, but our governor has
been to busy looking after merger
norentities and political intrigues
to pay any attention to any of the
vital interests Of the state he tries
to govern.-Cass Lake Times.

THE INDIAN And HIS
FUTURE.

In the discussion of the subject
1.-The Indian and His Future
every person who is at all familiar
with Indian affairs will agree that
there is no future for the Indians
when speaking of them collectively
as tribe or band; but there is no
limit to the future of an Indian as
a person, socially, politically, or
in any profession. trade or voca-
ton of life that he may enter.
In the many tribes the condi-
tiops will be found diferant.
There will be found the intelligent
educated, Industrious, progressive
and prosperous ones; there will
also be found lazy, shiftless, ig-
norant, INDECENT. poor. helpless
ones.
The question will arise inevery.
body's mind why these classes
should be treated the same, and
why those who have shown them.
selves able to take care of their
own affairs as well as the average
white man is, should longer be
treated in bodies or as a tribe.
The time has come when each
individual Indian sheuld be treated
on his own merits. There should
be a segregation; those who have
been educated and taught to work
should be thrown upon their own
resources without any restriction
yhatever, and can be depended
upon to work out their own
future. As to the other class
only time will tell what theiz
future will be.-Simon Michelet
in Chilocco Farmer and Stock
Grower.
