serious question whether the Indians
could merge themselves into Ameri-
can life as civilized men. The first
schools established by the government
and by individual enterprise were
short lived.
The New Industrial Training.
Gradually, however, much better
progress was made through the fact
that the Indian came in contact with
civilized man, and observed his ways
and his industries. The triumph of
civilization, the power Of prosperity,
the wonders of industrial art, all
made deep impression on the Red
Man, and from them he learned much,
while from schools and books he gained
but little. Then came the Industrial
schools. The old education was lit
erary and religious; the new education
is Industrial.
Personal contact has been the main
spring of all Indian progress in this
country. The system of education eX-
tends beyond the schoolhouse. 1t
aims to provide training which Will
prepare the Indian boy and girl for
the every day life of the average
American citizen.I
First Catch Your Indian.
One OF the great obstacles is the
difficulty of getting the children into
the schools. 1t is estimated that only
one-half Of theIndian youth Of school
age are receiving instruction. Nearly
all the teachers urge a compulsory
law. On the reservations many of
the parents are bitterly opposed to
their children attending school. The
disposition and hereditary instinct of
the tribemen cannot be changed all
at once. Many of the older Indians
look upon government school work as
a demonstration Of hostility. Others
vie W it as a great concession that
their little ones should be permitted
to attend school. and they think it
only right to demand payment from
the government for the favor.
The old Indian must die out. The
buffalo, the chase, the war path, the
ghost dance, must be forgotten, ex-
cept as historic memories before
many of the backward tribes will
voluntarily take advantage of the

wIScONSIN'S GROWTH
Evening Wisconsin Says All
Towns Are Forfinf Ahead As
Never Before.

There are many things Of great value
to the manufacturing and general
business interests of Milwaukee
learned as result Of the business TRIP
by special train over the Milwaukee
and North Western roads last week,
which was made by seventy members
of the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association. There were also many
surprises on the part of both the visit
ors and visited. These came largely
in the shape of Information regarding
business conditions, and the fact that
Milwaukee is not doing all, but a
large share, Of the wholesale and job
bing trade in the sections where the
visitors fraternized socially and talked
business incidentally. The trip also
opened the eyes of many people in the
state as to the cosmopolitan character
Of business interests in Milwaukee,
and the fact that as a commercial
center Wisconsin's chief city can and
will furnish practically everything de.
manded in this progressive and advanc.
ing day OF business relations and re.
lquirements,
The consensus OF opinion as ex-
pressed by leading business men form
! ing the party is that, with one or two
exceptions, the twenty-nine towns
and cities visited, are forging ahead
as never before. Especially is this true
OF Grand Rapids with its million dollar
electric paper mill and unlimited
amount OF harnessed water power
Wausau with its increasing woodwork
factories and vast lumber interests
Merrill with its wealth Of magnificent
public buildings; Tomahawk the town
OF w. H. Bradley with still newer
and greater enterprises; Rhinelandel
just opening pulp, sulphlte and
paper mill costing oyer 81 ,OOO, 900, and
Amigo, surrounded with one of the
richest grasing, dairy and farming
section in the state, but per cent. o1
which is as yet utilized. It is said
that during the trip of seven hundred
miles not single word OF complaint OF
business depression was heard; every.
body looked and talked the direct op
posite, the only complaint being that
there were no houses to be leased OF
purchased by new comers and there
were no idle mechanics to build quickly
the needed homes.
The aggregated population of the
twenty-Hine towns called upon is $780,
600, and the visitors were struck with
the evident new business life mani
tested in nearly all those places; the
vast public improvements, prac
! tically paid for, and all representing
investments of local capital; tht
great paper mills, magnificent new
hotels just being opened, new opera
houses, costing as high as $1OO, 900, ano
aggregate bank deposits in the towns
visited amounting to $40, l69, 900.
The entire trip was indeed revef
alton, and the busy business men O
Milwaukee resume their daily labOrs
with new and better ideas regarding
our marvellous state. The trip pai(
for the time and expense many, MANI
fold.

MAKING THE IN
DIAN A WORKER
The American Indian To-day.
and the System That is Grad
ually Transforming Him Into
Self-Respecting and Self.
Supporting Citizen Of the
United States.

United States.
The few Indians that we see on the
streets in Grand Rapids occasionally
and the few left roaming through
the forests of Wood county and North
ern Wisconsin, only serve to remind
US that the romantic age of the In
dian and the frontier has disappeared
forever. The hand of destiny has
decided that the savage must become
a citizen, and the warrior a worker.
The dim and winding Indian trail has
broadened into highway of ciyiliza-
tion, and the abOrigine finds himself
absolutely stranded on its shores,
where he must live under new con
ditions and be governed by new sui
roundings.
The policy of the United States in
dealing with the Indians came not by
chance. We have treated with them
as sovereign nations, and to negotiate
these treaties we have employed such
great men aS Jackson, Harrison and
Cass. Other powers have treated Sav-
ages as wards and paupers, with NO
rights which civilized man was under
obligation to respect. The effect of
the two policies on the development
of Indian character has been quite
opposite. The Indians to the North
and South of US have been conpara-
lively peaceful, and have adopted the
position assigned them as a dependent
race. The Indians Of the United
States have carried themselves with
pride and defiance, demanding their
rights and fighting for them when
they must.
The aboriginal Americans have re-
tanned their self-respect; they are
proud of their ancestry, and glory in
the virtues of their race. There was
a time, not very long ago, when it was

ABOUT PARTY DISCIPLINE.

Those republicans in Chelan
county who are aiding and abet-
ing the enemy in the coming
election will be marked. In the
future they must act with the
democratic party or fight for
what they and their friends want
independent of the regular re-
publican organization. They can
not expect, by voting for the
Roosevelt and Fairbanks cleo
tors to maintain their standing
in the republican party when
they openly declare that they
will not support the republican
state and county ticket. The
voter who goes into convention
with the intention of supporting
it's candidates provided they suit
him, and voting against them if
they do not happen to suit him,
can not expect to hold his stand
ing in the party counsels and
party conventions.
Certainly every man has a
perfect right to vote for whom
soever he chooses under proper
circumstances. But when he
goes into party conventions he
puts himself under moral obi
CATION to abide by the decision of
its majority, and it has always
been regarded as political dis
honesty, by all parties, to dc
otherwise.
There are, also, republicans in
Chelan county who have in the
past been honored by prefer
ment, who, because the republi-
can party did not continue to
prefer them, are now showing a
disposition to antagonist the local
ticket in the election this fall.
The man who has benefited by
party organization in the past
ought to get broad enough TO
rise above mere self and recog-
nize the fact that the party is
larger than the man.
Perhaps, though, they have
counted the cost, and in the fu-
ture mean to act independent of
the regular organization.
