MOhOnk Conference AntagOnistic to
Present System i'm the Territory
Endorse Hn6ular Government.

Lake Mohonk, N. Y, Oct. 22.-At
the concluding session Of the Indian
conference here resolutions were
adopted favoring the exclusion of the
liquor traffic from the proposed new
state into which Indian terAitory is to
be converted in accordance with treaty
agreements and urging that provision
be. made for continuing the tribal
schools of Indian territory until they
are merged into public school sys-
TEN. In conclusion, the conference
adopted a platform reaffirming the
statements made last year favoring the
abandonment of the reservation sys-
TEN and the dscontinuance of Indian
agencies and of the Indian bureau it
self at the earliest practicable date.
On the subject of our insular posses
sions the platform reads as follows:
1.-THE conference is gratitied with the
progress that has so far been made
in the education and development Of
a portion of the inhabitants Of the
Philippine archipelago. We especially
commend the wise system Of education
that has been put into successful OPP
Grafton there. We would urgently rec
ommend the extension of this system
until the people shall all receive the
inestimable advantages that will result
from it. By these they will, be pre-
pared for the important career that
awaits them both in their own gov
eminent and in their relations to the
nation"

Botanical Plants
HsA tAs Secret It Lin snd Death.

Recent experiments conducted by most
eminent scientists, prove that light is q
great remedial agent; 1t is essentially
Natures agent. II may be either sun
light or electric light, but 1t has de-
cided effect In helping nature to Danish
disease and restore health. Other scien-
tifc men have proved that oxygen cleo
TRIES the 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
dark. A man Is seldom healthy and strong
who lives In the dark or In sunless rooms.
After all, Natures ways are found TO be
the best. Natures remedies are always
best for eradicating disease, and by this we
mean medicine made of roots and herbs.
They are assimilated in the stomach and
taken up by the blood and are, therefore,
the most potent means which can be en-
ployed for the regaining of lost health.
DR.. r. v. Pierce, consulting physician to
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
at Buffalo, N. Y, in many years Of exten.
sive practice, found that he could pin his
faith to an Alternative extract Of certain
plants and roots for the cure of all blood
diseases. This he called DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. Containing NO
alcohol nor narcotics, entirely. vegetable,
this discovery makes rich red blood and

business man or woman renewed strength

from the blood, and feed the heart, lungs

PAYMENTS ARE TOO LARGE.


Lake Mohonk, N. Y, Oct. 20.-Com~
missioner Jones, of the Indian bureau,
spoke of the good results of the aboli-
ton Of the free ration system and of
other reforms instituted in the Indian
service, before the annual conference
here. "The blanket, the feathers and
the long hair" he said, "are fast dis
appearing, but great evils still exist to
be removed, the worst of these being
the annual payment of large sums Of
money to the Indians by the govern
ment, including idleness, extravaganza
and other vices. The practice should
be stopped as soon as possible" In
conclusion Commissioner Jones said he
believed that all the problems involved
in the administration of Indian af-
fairs would not be solved and settled
yet for many years.
Other speakers were White Wolf, a
Comanche Indian, and Alfred J. Stand
ing, formerly assistant superintendent
at the Carlisle Indian school.
