It is curious how In the last few
years the increase in crime has kept
such even pace with the increase In
suicide. In the five years between
1898 and the end of 1908 suicide In
creased more than so per cent and the
number of suicides in 1908 was very
nearly as great as the number OF
deaths resulting from all other crimes
of violence. The increase in suicide
throughout this term appears to have
been very nearly regular from year to
year Yet the five years have been ones
Of almost unprecedented prosperity, a
fact that goes far to refute the once
common belief that suicide Is generally
due to "hard times" In some Of the
States legal efforts have been made to
punish attempts at suicide, but the sta
tistics go to show that such laws have
either been without any effect or that
they have resulted In making those
who try more careful to succeed. The
problem of suicide Is one Of the most
perplexing that has beset modern civ
ilizatIon. There seems to be no direct
remedy But little study of figures
convinces that suicide goes hand in
hand with other crimes of violence.
When they increase suicide increases;
when they decline suicide declines. The
increase in the number Of crimes of
violence resulting In death In the
United States for the year 1903 was a
little in excess of / u per cent as COM
pared with 1902 while the number Of
executions for the crime of murder dur
ing the same year was less than in the
former year by something more than
10 per cent. 1t may be difficult for us
to see the connection between suicide
and crimes of Violence but there can
be no difficulty in seeing the connection
between the crimes of violence and the
laxity in the administration Of law.
1t requires no profound discernment to
realize that If there were more execu-
tons there would be fewer murders.
But we have reversed the rule, and
had fewer executions and more muir
ders.

The latest famine that threatens
the country is one in railroad ties.
1t has long been evident to railway
officials that within q very short time
some form Of cross-tie other than wood
will become a necessity unless special
efforts be made to grow trees suitable
for this purpose.
AS a consequence of study of the
subject the catalpa speciosa, the state
ly variety of catalpa, which grows to
the height of 100 feet, is looked on
as a material for the cross-tie of the
future. 1t possesses all the qualities
that best fit it for this purpose and
grows rapidly. General J. Il. Miller
while division superintendent of the
Pennsylvania railroad planted 100000
catalpa trees, setting them along the
right Of way. Soon afterward he was
promoted and others had charge of that
line. Neglect was the portion of the

the Rio Grande railway has planta-

HOME FOR THE BUFFALO.
Appeal for Setting Aside Game
Preserve in Oklahoma.

Appeal for Setting Aside a Game
Preserve in Oklahoma.
Before it is too late, it would be well
for the people of Oklahoma to interest
themselves in the scheme to establish
big game preserve in the wichita
mountains. There is great forest re
serve In the hills of southwestern Ok
lahoma set aside by Congress many
wears ago. 1t contains $1,000 acres OF
land excellently adapted for the big
and little game which formerly was SO
plentiful in America. There are broad
nastures in this reserve, and thickets
of scrub oak, heavy timber, clear and
everything streams Of water, and rock
Businesses. Vegetation is abundant;
the climate is salubrious. Apparently
nature has done it's best to make these
$4,000 acres a congenial haunt for
game animals and grand, attractive
park for sportsmen and the seekers
after rest and recreation.
Many of the beasts and birds which
abounded in plain and wood in this
country a short time ago are doomed
to an early extinction unless the State
and Federal governments take the
proper steps to assure protection. Nx-
cept for the few head still remaining
in public or private reservations, the
buffalo has been practically wiped out
of existence.
For some unaccountable reason, civ
ilization took prejudice to this no.
Bile animal It's value was never given
a fair test until within recent years.
It has now been found that the buffalo
propagates quickly, grows rapidly, is
hardy and self-sustaining upon the
plains, its hide makes fine leather, and
its flesh is equal in flavor and strength
giving qualities to that of ordinary
beef. In fact, the buffalo is the ma
tive cattle of this country, just as the
Herefords, the Galloways, and the Hol-
stems are the native cattle Of Europe.
The buffalo is docile creature, east
ly domesticated, and probably had we
not been so attached by custom to
European things we should have de
veloped it into the regular beef-pro-
Queer Of this country Wherever it has
been interbred with domestic cattle, an
improved product has resulted, more
able to resist disease and withstand the
inclemencies of American weather.
The chief purpose Of the men who
are striving to have the Wichita for
est reserve turned into game pre-
serve is to secure a place where the
remnants of the buffalo herd can be
collected and saved from extermina-
ton. 1t is to be hoped that they will
obtain favorable action from Congress
in aid of this laudable undertaking.

INDIAN "MEDIClNE" FIRES.
The Creeks Brought the Sacred Flame
+,

The Creeks Brought the Sacred Flame
from Alabama.
With the beginning of the new year
the secret visit of the chief medicine
man of the Creeks was made to see
that the tribal fires in the Indian
towns are kept burning according to
tradition, says the Kansas City Star.
From time as old as Greek history, it
has been u custom among the full
blood Greeks to keep a medicine fire
burning constantly in each Indian
town. When the Greeks migrated from
Alabama to Indian Territory in 1888
this sacred fire was brought with them.
Then, as now, official firekeepers were
appointed by the tribe, whose special
duty it was to see that this fire was
kept alive constantly. On the long
march from Alabama, day and night,
this fire was never allowed to die out.
The fire was kept then for both practi-
cal use and belief that if it once went
out dire misfortune would befall the
tribe
The first Indian town established
III luuluH lSllllOIy was AldDdluSiR
named for the old home. In Ala.
bama the tribal fire was built and tho
permanent home of the Greeks estab-
lished. Since that time there have
been established forty-four Indian
towns that still exist From this cen
town fire in each town as it was es
tablished. AS soon as a new town wac
established an official firekeeper wap
chosen whose duty it was to see tina.
the fire was kept constantly in hin
house. This was a great honor fo',
an Indian and if he was unfaithful
the punishment was Punishment FROM
the tribe. In winter and the hottest
days of summer the fire was keps
alive. Once a year there was SCI
cret visit of certain medicine men to
these towns to investigate the faith
fulness of the firekeeper. An unfavor-
able report meant Punishment of tho
keeper and the hatred of every men,
Der of the tribe
In the full-blood districts the In.
dian town fires are maintained to this
day. An Indian town is not town
in the American sense, but may be
merely grove where the clans meet
upon call of the leaders to discuss
matters of interest and vote thereon.
An Indian is not allowed a voice in
the councils of any other than his
rightful town or district. There is a
town chief for each town whose in
fiuence is great among his tribesmen.

Belief That Pacific Once Extended as
Far as Great Salt Lake.
A dispatch from Salt Lake City,
Utah, states that Mrs. B. f. House, a
former Cincinnati woman, has made q
discovery which proves conclusively
to scientists, according to the dispatch,
that Salt Lake was once part Of the
Pacific ocean. For years biologists
and learned scientists, including ex-
perts from the Smithsonian institution,
have made vain efforts to discover
some convincing proof that the inland
sea was once part of the great
Pacific. Parties of scientists have
lived on and travelled the shores of
the big lake, but none OF their dis
coveries was ever accepted as positive
proof The discovery made by Mrs
proof positive Is piece of sponge
like coral, but contains salt sea perl
| wrinkles, which a number of scientists
claim are only found in ocean coral.
Diligent search was made for other
specimens, but the big coral rock, vel
| found Professor Henshaw, geologist
ut the Walnut Hills school. said that
while the discovery was a great one
and. while it was the most convincing
proof yet established, he would not
accept it as positive. although, he had
never heard of any like specimens be-
Ing found except in the ocean. o. w.

indeed the most important one ever
made in that region and will undoubt-

proof that Salt Lake was once part of

While the discovery, as reported,
would afford the most positive
proof we have ever had, | would
not except it as conclusive proof.
The question of whether the Salt
Lake was once part of the
ocean has been agitating scientists and
kgeologists for many years, and this re-
cent discovery will no doubt be of
great interest to all Of them" Mrs
