Recent experiments conducted by most
eminent scientists, prove that light is a
great remedial agent it is essentially
Natures agent. It may be either sun
light OF electric light, but it has a de-
cided effect in helping nature to Danish
disease and restore health. Other scien-
tifc men have proved that oxygen elec-
tEihes TIE heart and can prolong life.
The people on this earth are susceptible
to some laws which govern plant life. A
plant cannot be successfully grown in the

OFFICIALS ARE ASLEEP
Senator Stewart, of Nevada,
States That This Country
is as Rich as Any Sec
tion but is Beridden
by Grafters.

sThe country couldn't be better,
and the conditions couldn't be worse. :"
So United States Senator William
M. Stewart, Of Nevada. chairman Of
the senate committee on Indian af-
fairs, who was at the hotel Balti-
more Yesterday, sums up the situa-
1 tion in Indian Territory, as a result
4 Sbf his investigation there, says the
Kansas City Journal.
'eThe old Indian, ignorant, OF course,
and probably vicious, as he is usually
elsewhere, was about the most honest
man found there" continued the
senator. THE white men In the ter
ritory generally boast OF the way in
which they have defrauded the In
dlans one thing that surprised me
was the almost universal prevalence
Of that sort of sentiment.
"As for the country, / have never
seen anything like it anywhere. II is
undoubtedly the richest in natural re-
sources Of any part Of the United
States. Aside from its wonderful
mineral riches, 1t has soil which is
apparently unsurpassed for product
iyeness. Why, / believe that they
could raise food for 50,Ooo,OOO people
in that territory alone.
"But there is absolutely no chance
for the bona fide settler, who wants
O till the soil and become perma-
nent resident there. Indian Agent
Shoenfelt told me OF several young
men who had come there from the
northern states and attempted TO buy
farms. When they finally succeeded
in picking out something to their lik-
ing, they found that il was plastered
over with four or five leases. which
would have to be bought of Conse-
quently, they gave it up altogether
ut certainly is remarkable sys-
tenn. We have treated the Indians
all along as though they we're not able
to take care Of themselves, and then
Of a sudden turn them loose among a
bunch Of adventures, with whom the
average white man would have all
that he could do TO hold his own. The
onicials generally are az best asleep
and do not see what is going on. do
not desire to criticise any one individ-
ually, but may do so later on.
in reforming these conditions
there are just three things ] would
have congress do. In the first place.
/ would have bin passed absolutely
prohibiting any Indian in the future
sssom leasing his lands Second, /
would have another measure annull-
ing an existing leases, and requiring
lease. holders to come into court and
show whether or not there had been
any good and valuable compensation.
"Third. I would give each Indian a
small homestead, Of, say, forty acres.
which should be forever inalienable.
The rest Of the land I would have sold
to the highest bidder, for actual set
tlement. payment Go extend over
period Of about twenty-five years.
Thus the Indian would be assured Ct
permanent fixed income for that
period. / would not, however, have
the money paid over to the Indian,
but paid to a recorder and turned
over to the Indian only on satisfac-
tory showing that he was making
good use Of it.
