Makes Little Difference.

Circuit Court decided Wednesday
that the governor had right to cancel
his signature approving a bill which
transferred the payment of about $4,000
taxes from Baltimore to this county.
The property upon which the taxes
are based is in this county and they
are rightfully payable here.
After all, however, the result will
make very little difference out here as
long as the people allow the county's $
money to be financed" by Cumberland

UMAT|LLA MORALS
MAJOR CHARLES WILKINS
PRAISES INDIAN WOMEN.
SAYS the Morals Of the Tribe Are
Higher Than Those of Any Other
Northwest Indians-Indian Women
May Not Be Honest or Sober, But
They Are Invariably Moral-Slan-
derous Reports Are Not Justified.

Major Charles wilkins, for nine
years agent for the Umatilla Indians,
pays a high tribute to the moral char
.acter of the Umatillas, and declares
the per cent of iilegitimacy in the
tribe is less than among any other
Indians in the Northwest.
In speaking of the extremely high
moral character of the Umatilla wo-
men Major Wilkins said to the East
Oregonian today:
Good morals is not the exception
with the Umatilla Indian women. but
II is the invariable rule. Among all
classes virtue is esteemed as the
highest attribute of their lives. They
may not be free from the love Of
liquor, they may not be religious nor
honest in their business dealings, but
they are almost invariably moral and
virtuous.
Among the Lapwais immortality is
common, and it is a wonder that the
Umatilla tribe has not become infect
ed with the bad habits and loose NOR
ais of the Lapwais, as the two tribes
visit so much and are so closely re-
lated socially.
Reports to the contrary notwith-
standing, and in spite Of the occa=
sionai ISLANDERS Of Umatilia Indian
girls and women. l know that such
ISLANDERS are not justified except in
rare instances. You will find the
families living in honor and recti-
tude on the reservation. just as the
whites live off the reservation, the
women respecting the marriage VOWS
and guarding their character just as
closely as it is possible to do.
Indians have no false pride, and
do not observe all the decencies of
life as the whites. because they be-
lieve that what is natural is right,
but when it comes to the sound prin-
ciple of morality you will find such
principles Just as sacredly respected
on the reservation as elsewhere"

EAPTiSTS DEPLORE DIVISION.

The two Baptist general bodies Of
Arkansas will hold their annual ses-
sion during this month. The general
association, which is composed of
Baptists which withdrew from the
state convention three years ago, VII!
meet in Little Rock this week. The
first session of this body was held in
Searcy two years ago, and the second
session was held in Little Rock
year ago. Old Concordia hall was
used last year, and the public meet
ings will be held there again this
year.
The state convention met last year
II Little Rock in the First Baptist
church, and will meet this year in
Pine Bluff. in the First Baptist church
o. which Rev. Ross Moore is pastor.
The convention never meets two
years in succession in the same town.
The approaching session VIII be the
fifty sixth annual meeting OF this
body. of which ex-Gov. James p Eagle
has been president for twenty-one
years. The convention has an execu-
tive board with headquarters in Lit
tie Rock. and Rev. J. F. Love is the
missionary secretary, and has his Of
fice in the Baptist mission rooms in
the Peoples building, on West Sec

reported at the last convention was
$?8,00005, and it is thought the
amount will be much larger this year

Barring Cross churches of Little Rock
are in sympathy and cooperation with
the convention, and will send messen-

citation are expecting large repre-
sentation in Little Rock this week.
w. c. c. Durrough of Sheridan is
treasurer, and from data at hand his
report this year will show much bet
ter than that of last year.
The two bodies have their represen-
tative organs, the conventions organ
being the Baptist Advance, OF which
Rev. John Jeter Hurt is editor, sue
ceeding DR.. A. J. Barton. while the
organ of the association is the Land
mark Baptist, of which Elder Ben. NJ.
Bogard is editor. succeeding Dr. w.
A. Clark, retired
The convention fosters, besides its
mission work, two colleges and four
academies. and is i'll cooperation with
the Southern Baptist convention and
It's enterprises, including the Southern
baptist Theological seminary. The
general association has not yet es
tablished denominational schools, but
sc mines itself to state and foreign
mission work and assists in the
support of the conveation's orphanags

1t is said that there are many Bap-
fists in both bodies which deplore
the division in the denomination. For
a while just prior to the withdrawal
frCm the convention OF those who or
ganized the general association, and
for some time afterward there was
considerable personal feeling, and
even personalities found their way
into public utterances and printed

growing sentiment against this, and
