Indians Ask for Justice.

Chief Joseph, the famous warrior OF
the Nez Perces tribe of Indians, is MAX
ing his annual visit to Washington.
He comes every winter to appeal to the
President and Congress for the settle
ment of a claim of his tribe.
Because of Chief Joseph's leadership
in the NeZ Perces war he and $50
other Indians of his tribe were depriv
ed of their allotments of land They
have been trying ever since to get what
they regard as sheir share of the land
or its equivalent in money. They have
been appealing to Congress to grant
them justice. claiming that they were
not bad Indians before 1877. and have
been peaceable and well-behaved ever
since.
The time having passed for them to
get an amendment in the House to the
proper appropriation bill, they want
to get an am endment tackled on in the
Senate, and they went to the President
to ask that he help them to get what,
they want The President said he
would think the matter over. AS
Chief Joseph had been a brave warrior
and good citizen since he laid down
arms, the President was inclined to
sympathiZe with him. The $50 Indians
will be satisfied with either their por-
ton of government land or Its value
In money, and an effort will be made
to have them allowed land.

Labor on Panama Canal.

The House committee on interstate
and foreign commerce recently began
series of hearings to determine the
character of Legislation for the govern
ment OF the canal zone on the isthmus
OF Panama.
Rear Admiral Walker said he be-
lieved that work on the canal could be
begun in two or three months. By this
time. he said. the question of title
would be cleared and transfer made
to the United States. The French com
pany now had about 500 laborers at
work on the Culebra cut, and this work
would be continued
The liquor question was injected
into the discussion by the remark of
the admiral that the principal revenue
would come from the licenses from
eating houses and saloons. He was
asked at once If it was necessary to
grant liquor privileges. He replied pos
itively that it was: that the laborers OF
the tropics all used alcoholic bever-
ages, and that it would be impossible
to obtain. or retain. laborers for this
work if the sale of liquor was prohib-
tied. He said however. that they We're
not hard drinkers, consuming only
beer and light wines.
Speaking of the class of labor that
it would be necessary to employ in the
construction of canal. Admiral Walk
er said that the blacks from Jamaica
were undoubtedly the best fitted class
obtainable in the vicinity of the canal
zone. There were not enough of those
laborers, including the blacks which
could be taken from the southern
states to prosecute the work after it
once was gotten under way. Coole
labor from China and Japan would
have to be brought over for this work.
He estimated that the maximum num-
Der of laborers needed would be some
$4,000. Other persons who would come
with these laborers would increase the
population of the zone to some $4,000.
The police force necessary to keep or
der on the isthmus. Mr.. Walker sug-
gested, should be organized as that of
an American city. One hundred men
at first would be sufficient but this
number would have to be increased to
perhaps 500. In case of riots or un-
usual disturbances he believed the
Panama government could be relied
on to aid the police force Of the strip.
and he also deemed it advisable to
have 300 American troops or marines
permanently stationed in the zone.

Selling LeWd Pictures.

In the Senate Mr.. McLaurin of Mis-
sissippi took the floor to make a per-
sonal explanation regarding newspa-
per paragraph saying that authorities
of Indianola, Mississippi are engaged
in arresting people for selling photo
graphs of President Roosevelt and
Booker Washington.
Mr.. McLaurin said that the para
graph grew out out of statement
made in a newspaper letter written by
A. J. PaXson. an attorney of Leland,
Mississippi, who told of the arrest at
that point of three men who. he said
were engaged in selling pictures of the
President and Mr.. Washington seated
at table together. and also pictures
of an obscene character. These pic
lures. he said, appealed strongly to
race prejudice.
Similar arrests, also. Mr.. McLaurin
said. had been made at Indianola, and
it was found upon the hearing OF the
cases that Cincinnati concern en-
gagged in publishing the pictures in
question had many agents out in the
interest of these works.
The men were tried and some of
them sent out of the country. and Nc
Laurin expressed surprise that any
community should have permitted
them to be tried He said that the
penalty imposed by the law was en-
tirely too small and expressed the
opinion that the death penalty would
not be too severe. He added that the
arrests were not because the men were
selling photographs of the President,
or of Mr.. Washington, but because
they were selling lewd pictures.

This Is Miraculous.

Manhattan, Kans., March 14.-Cne
of the strangest cases that has ever
been heard of in Riley Co. is that Of
the three-year-Old daughter of MIR.
Jonas Brubaker of this place
Some time ago the little girl took
whooping cough, which was followed
by pneumonia. When the pneumonia
left her, she was taken down with
malaria fever with at times symptoms
of Spinal Meningitis.
The family doctor brought her safe.
ly through these troubles, but after
the fever Bright's Disease set in and
the doctors gave her up. Her father
tells the rest of the story:
we began to give her Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and after she had taken
about three and half boxes, she was
entirely cured. Now she is well as
any child. running and playing as il
nothing had ever been the matter
with her. The doctors said she was
beyond the reach of medicine. Dodd S
Kidney Pills certainly saved our lit
tie girls life, when she was SO far
into che chronic stage of Bright's
Disease that we thought nothing could
ssyc her"

Why We Sell to Canada.

a Canadian trade journal. speaking
against the preferential tariff in favor
OF Great Britain, says: ''In the list of
2c0 enumerated dutiable articles i'm
ported into Canada in 1903 there are
forty-one opposite the names of which
is printed the suggestive word none"
indicating that Great Britain had
failed to supply us with one dollars
worth. while the United States sent
us. of the identical goods. to the value
of $4.S97.6G0: and it will also be OBJ
served that in addition to the failure
alluded to. there are fifty-one other
items not one of which our imports
from Great Britain amounted in value
to as much as $1,000. The aggregate
value of these fifty-one articles
amounted to only $l5.763. while our
imports of the identical goods from
the United States amounted to S.
2I6.734. These are startling facts,
which should command attention"

To Investigate Meat Trust.

An investigation of the meat trust
is desired by Representative Martin
of South Dakota, and he has succeed
ed in obtaining a favorable report on
his bill calling upon the secretary of
commerce and labor to investigate the
cause of low prices of beef cattle in
the United States since July 1st. and
the unusually large margin between
the price of beef cattle and the selling
price of fresh beef.
The purpose of this inquiry will be
to determine whether these conditions
have resulted from any contract or
continuation, or trust or conspiracy in
restraint of trade.
In favorably reporting this bill. the
committee on interstate commerce
says that the last three years have
been years of great prosperity in the
United States. The growers and feed
ers of live stock have shared in this
general prosperity until the first part
of 1908. Beginning at that time, the
committee states. the market for beef
steers has gradually declined, until in
December last the prices were lower
than at any time in five years, and
that it is difficult to account for this
condition in the beef market by natu-
raj causes alone, and these conditions
have entailed heavy losses upon cattle
men in the range country and else
where. and profits practically disap-
peared last year
If this bill now passes the house
and also the Senate. Secretary Cortel-
you Of the Department of Commerce
and Labor will take charge of the in
vestigation under authority conferred
in the act creating his department and
it will be the first important invastiGa-
ton undertaken by him.

Safe on the Plate.

Public school regulations require
that the pupils shall be over the
threshold of the classroom door when
the bell rings at 8 o'clock. or be ac-
counted late. Yesterday morning a
little girl was within foot or two of
the door to her classroom when the
bell rang. At the same instant she
stumbled and fell. Realizing that if
she stopped long enough to pick her.
self up she would be late, she threw
herself forward as a baseball player
slides for base, and managed to pro.
Ject her outstretched arms and head
into the classroom. In this position
she looked up at the teacher and said:
I'm in"
The teacher grasped the situation in
a moment, and. without a smile. ren.
dered her decision:
''Safe!"
The little girl picked herself up and
went to her accustomed seat, to be
marked early on the records of her
class.-New York Sun.

CULTURE OF THE OYSTER.

After many years of persistent effort
science seems to have conquered the
art of propagating artificially the de-
liCious oyster What part of the mon
ey usually coined from propagating
trusts has been diverted into this use

ly New Jersey deserves praise for the
innovation.
Professor Julius Nelson, biologist for
the State Bureau of Shell Fisheries.
which has only been in existence a
few months, has worked out method
Of producing and propagating oyster
germs or seeds. and the process seems
TO be quite simple as well as very in
teresting.
After preparing sufficient quanti-
ty of spermatized water, few min
utes suffice to complete the fertiliza
ton The water is then drawn off
and put into clear water. the opera
tion being repeated several times. The
zone occupied by the eggs is soon seen
and in about an hour. at a temperature
of eighty degrees, the development OF
the eggs begins.
In a few hours the eggs have so de-
veloped that they show positive signs
of life. and then they are let into
tank. covered with sand and exposed
to every high tide. Thus. step by step
through processes known to fish hatch.
ers. a young oyster bed is formed.
which may be extended indefinitely.
One bucketful OF spawn, it is said,
would supply all the material a man
could use for extensive planting, and
If Professor Nelson can turn the tide
of New Jersey enterprise so as to
raise oysters artificially instead of
trusts, he will have done the world
great service-Boston Globe.
