OUR MIXED RACE.

We have often wondered and specu- lated on what kind of a race the Amer ican will be. or if we will ever have an American race In the old world nations each has its distinctive and characteristic people, clearly and un-
 nistakably differentiated from each other. and each possessing character istics and pecularities of it's own by which individuals may be known when ever seen. It is different in the United States. Here we are constantly re- ceiving additions from very race and kindred under the sun. They inter- marry and amalgamate with each oth- CT and with our own native stock in every conceivable degree, and it would seem that there must eventually be race or people over here that will partake of the blood of every people on earth. At least, that is what might be expected if no further additions were made to our present stock. but if they continue to come in the changes will continue, and we suppose there can be no telling where 1t will end.
 We have little doubt that this con- tinuous intermlxture is well for the people of the United States. With a few possible exceptions every one of the old world races has some good characteristics, the engraftlng of which on our own stock will be better for us as people. A people or race which marries and intermarries oon- finuously within itself is bound to deteriorate, just as is the case in the lower orders of life, but when new and different blood is continually being ad- ded t is bound to add to the vitality and virility of the people. We may not Sver have a thoroughly distinctive AmeAcsn race. but we win continue to hsve q strong one.

If The Advertiser would send a per- fectly unpreJudiced reporter to give an account of MT. Cohner's speeches like The Age-Herald doss, the.reports that appear in the columns Of Md Grandn a would not read half so one sided. The manner in. which The Advertiser Is re- porting MT. Corners speeches Is doing him more good than harm, however and we hope it will keep it up. The people of Alabama are going to resen |, unfair journalism in this campaign.
 The above from The Selma Times is really amusing in view of the fact that The Advertiser went to the trouble and expense of procuring and publishing a full stenographic report of Mir.

MONDAY, DECEMBER 2S. 1905.
A coon POLICY.

Indian Commissioner Leupp in his annual report has some sensible sug- gestions, according to The Chicago Tri- bune. about the proper policy to be pursued towards the Indians in future. Among other things he holds that 1t has been a fundamental error ito try to coddle the Indians into civiliza- tion." He thinks feeding and clothing them at public expense has deteriorat- ed them. and proposes program some- thing like this for the young genera tion:
 First of all. they should be educated. There are 30,000 or 10000 Indian chill dFen of school age In the United States. Most of the boys will become farmers men. miners. etc. They and the girls who will become their wives should Mot be taught to reel off the names
 the ns cube of a Asr Srt e1t5aS sSoad be given. training which wtll later be practically useful to them; They sinSsG all So pc 1aught h; to rsad write and be shown how to repair a broken har- ness, to fasten loose horseshoe, to SaHf StSEsiShten ten ,rsrp a sprung tire on a wagon iron. If an Indian boy or girl desired higher education he or she would, of course. have the same opportunity as. anybody else to get it. But the Roy- ernment should not give 1t to those who don't want 1t and probably never will use It.. MT. Leupps suggestions are in line with the most advanced education al thought of the age. There Is a. growing tendency to make the educa- ton of white children more practieal The reasons why that of Indian chill dren, with their comparatively limited mental capacity, should be made so are even stronger.
 We confess to some surprise at the small number of Indian children in the United States, and suppose MT. Leupp refers to those who belong to the more or less civilized tribes, and not to all the Indians in the United States. That, however. has nothing to do with the value of his suggestions. To prepare the young Indians of both sexes for the duties of useful and prac- tical citizenship Is the pest work that can be done for them, and we further agree with the Commissioner that more of the same kind of education than the white children now get would be bet ter for them and for the country.
