NO HARM DONE

The probabilities are tha' the Alaska Indians will not suffer from the deter imitation of the commissioner ot Indian affairs to shut them irom the Carlisle and Salem schools. The Indian has never thrived when separated from his people. There is no place tu the large cities for him, educated or otherwise, and four to six years at large modern university does not add Co his quallnco- tions to attack the conditions he will meet when he shall return to his native land. His people will be unable Co ap- preciate his education and the proba- bilities are that he will DO longer have sympathy for the likes, dislikcs and ambitions of his people.
 The history of the education of in terior races in the United states indi- cates beyond the question o' a doubt that instead of giving 8 finished educa- tion to a few, the proper course Is to educate the entire race. The elevation ot the masses of the Indians will create a people in a generation or two who will appreciate the value of a college education. Experience has also taught tha, the Indian should be taught how to work and to utilize the resources ot his native land. That Is of even great CT importance than knowledge of books.
 The United States should create res ervations or Indian settlements in Alas ka, and they should be conducted along the general lines followed by Father Duncan at Metlahkatlah.

THE ACME OF PE4FiDY

Russia's diplomatic conduct has al- ways been characterized by dup,icity and subieIfuge, but the acme ot her lack of go-d faith is exhibited in the ridiculous defense made for the wantou bArbarism of the absolutely iucNcuSabie attack made by the Baltic squadron upon CetenceleSs British fishermen In the North sea it the teleEraphic ac- counts are true. The contention tha, the admiral of the Russian fleet thought there were Japanese among the fisher men is nothing less ,hau puSillauimous. Ot course he believed nothing us the kind, and ot course the Russians under stand that he haS simply manufactured lie for diplomatic purposes. and O. course it is understood by the Eursiau government that the British Nuow ic Co 5e g lie. It IS hoped that for che sake Of politeussS the British will pretend To accept the excuse tentatively, uG,it other more plausible lie can be mau1' factured. Bu, the pustllaujmy of the defense Is emphasized by the fact that there would be no justification for the cowardIy massacre even had therp been Japanese cral- in the fleet,
 Considered from auy standpoint, the North sea incident was an act that would put to shame a band of blood hungry Appache Indians or a gang oI ruthless South sea pirale=. and the fac, that the Russian government seems tc see tt Go barley over the matter, make, that country a party 10 the brutal mur. der.
 It Great Britain will consider the Baltic fleet as a squadron of Outiawed pirates, and send her navy ou, and de- stroy it the praise and support oi the civilized world will be bestowed upon that country.
