A novel suggestion aRd enc which

Just been made by Felix 7. McWhir-
ter, who will be pushed by the Prohi-
bitionigts of this city as their candi-
date for vice president. Mr.. McWhir-
ter is one OF the prominent real estate
dealers Of the city. His suggestion Is
that an apartment house should be
erected in which rooms would be fur
nished to young men of gooo cherac-
ter at reasonable rates. Such a build
ing could be equipped with convent
ences which would make it attractive
to young men who have to find homes

The report Of the Marion criminal
court, which has just been made pub
lie, shows that Indianapolis criminal
record for the year 1903 was the worst
in it's history. During the year eleven
murder trials were held and twelfth
prisoner who is awaiting trial on the
charge of murder IN the second degree,
brings the total up to twelve. In 1902
several cases were brought here from
surrounding counties, yet the total
then was only eight. Some people are
drawing a conclusion az to the in
crease from the fact that of the eleven
prosecutions the death penalty was In
flicted in just one case, and that was
of wiIlful, deliberate murder. II the
limit of punishment were givan often
er, they argue, there would be fewer
murders to record each year.

of the first named and 62,616 Of
the latter. The Worlds Fair In

WHAT WILL The FUT'
URE BRlNGsFoRTH? :

UhI DnlNUaT G aTunln'
History begins where nations
begin to emerge from chaos into
light, and light comes only
through changes to environments
more complex than those of prim-
tive conditions.
It is this feature in social life
one is apt to consider, when events
more striking than the ordinary,
become fixed in tho public mind
and assume an interest which
makes for preservation. The
Chippewas of White Earth have
an event in their history we'll
worth conserving, and so it has
become fixed incident in local
history that there shall be all au-
nual celebration of the day of the
settlement of the people upon the
reservation.
Thirty-six years count but
little when simply measured rs
years but when they denote
changes all along the line in all
phases Of commercial and individ-
ual life, they do mean something.
In all the 14th, of June celebra
ton means to the people of the
community more than is food for
serious thought since it is essent-
ually study Of the past aud the
present, and an outlook towards
the future near and distant. 1t is
a study too, not only for the aver
age man, but for him who studies
men at large, reading past history
and that Of the present, and snp-
plementing it by that most .valu-
able Of all, that of observation of
daily life. One wonders what
social and economic conditions
may be thirty-six years hence.
The first settlers will remember
the poverty Of the life of the past,
motercal, mental and moral.
They reached the new land with
all these old conditions a. the
natural. with the opportunities
gained by means Of segregation,
came the application of the hopes
and theories of the past. The
friend of the Indian and the In
dian himself, have good reason at
this day to feel, that in spite OF
slow movement, on the whole a
tremendous stride has been made
towards the high forms of culture
and enlightment.
The object lessons OF the cele-
brations upon the 14th, of June AS
they have been successfully OBJ
served by him who possesses the
art of comparison in the philosop-
hic sense, shows the truth OF the
foregoing statement, for it is a
far cry for example from the war
dance with it's weird music to the
trained brass band; q great stretch
from the fantastic costume OF the
dancer. to the modern garb Of the
Indian and most of all the tremen-
dous distance indicated by the
crude ignorance of the old timer
to the industeral and literary at
tainments of the modern Indian. +.
We hope that each year with its
celebration will mark more and
more the difference between the
old and the new; that all the ex-
piration of another thirty-six
years, the Indian of this reserva-
tion at least. will have reached the
stage where in all phases of life
he shall be perfectly enrappant
with his surrounding brethren of

largely taken'up' with words ef

The speeches of the congress-
man and the chief were interpret
ed by Joseph Morrison. Upon
invitation Of the chief Major Mich
elet addressed the people in a happy
vein, All three of the speakers
we're psrticu||aar]y happy in the
humorous words thrown in now
and then into their addresses.
According to tribal custom it
devolved upon the chief who made
the adoption speech, to give Mr.
SteeneEson an Indian name, this
he did, and hereafter the congress-
man will be known among the
Chippewas as Omah-yah-we-gah-
bow " He who stands in the midst. "
In the afternoon part of the
program was unavoidably omit
ted as was the case on the follow
ing day, but on the whole the pro-
gram was creditably carried ont.

Eand 18th, the dance sprogranss

with the exception of the sham
battle, seemed to be the most at
tractive feature of all of the pro-
ceedings strictly for amusement.
Tbe two day were prosperous
days for the venders Of refresh
ments liquid and solid and they
at least combined business with
pleasure.
At this date we are unable to
state the financial situation of the
association which has the manage
ment of the celebration but we
understand there will be NO de-
ficit.
We have no hesitation in saying
that residents and visitors alike
enjoyed the proceedings and Of
the latter we venture to speak the
words OF the people in general in
saying that their presence and in
terest was appreciated and we also
express we believe the wish of the
community in saying friends come
again.
The thirty sixth celebration has
passed and passed creditably but
may we venture to say that it will
be wisdom in the future to begin
work earlier so as to ensure great
er certainty of success and less
strenuosity of eaertion at the last
moment.

nished a fit prelure to what man
proposed to do.
It seemed like proceeding by

the country at large in ths- Federal
salute at sunrise. This was an
awakening of the man preparatory
to the affairs of the day, out this
was not all, for back of it lay the
sense of patriotism which at all
times has lain in the breast of the
Chippewas, and which explains
his ''Our Great Father when

him stands as the visible symba1
of the government.
At 900 q. m. occurred the In
dian parade consisting OF cal

In pursuance to request, the
Hon. Halvor Steenerson had tele-
phoned from Redwood Of his ap-
proach and the calvacade set out
to meet him and escort hin TO the

Preceding the adoption Of the

peace making between the Chipp-

Years have passed since the

of cotton. while grains consistently adj

ticeable. however, in the almost total Kill

afternoon the stock market became prac-
tioally stagnant. The dribble of stocks
were sufficient to cause a slow downward
tendency of prices. but there was as much

evidence of some desire on the part OF
bears to cover shorts In lew STOCKS.
The borrowing demand for Pennsylvania

short interest. The firmness OF this stock
in face of the depression elsewhere caused
some credence to be given to the persist
ent rumors of plan of adjustment OF

report coming from the South shows tbs
receints are likely to be small If re-
CENTS keep on growing smaller there
is but one course for prices. There will
be trouble before another crop, and four
teen cents is not high if the crop is as
small as people say. But under the pres
emf conditions of uncertainty, we woud
rather take profits over fourteen cents,
and wait for new ground before buying.
There is n lot of new buying in the mark
ct and if the cotton now being sold is
absorbed and new high prices result,
there is likely to be sharp advance.
The situation is very peculiar, and some
uncertainty naturally exists. The war
question is factor and may have decid-
ed influence later on. Receipts are get
ting smaller and smaller and in the event
of this being continued for any length Of
time prices are likely to seek a higher
level. At fourteen cents there is every
reason to be conservative. In the event
Of an advance to new ground there is
everv inducement to take cotton aboard for
a quick rise If the crop proves moder-
ate. those who have no cotton will have
to pay high prices for cotton to run mills.
The market must be watched very close
ly at this point, and any mistake may
prove costly. WARE q LELAND.
