INDIAN POLITICAL METHODS
Effect of Education on Redskins Has
Been to Revolutionize Their
Systems.

The effect of education upon the
Indian has been to revolutiOnize
politics, and the Indian has taken
to the white mans method; the
campaign committee has taken
the place of the barbecue, and cam
paign literature the place of the
stump speech, says the Kansas
City journal. The Indian takes to
politics like a mosquito to a
swamp. He can tell the effect of a
policy upon his people quicker
than a white man, and an Indian
politician, if one can get him to
tell the truth, can make an accu-
rate estimate of the result of an
election long before it takes place.
The ChOctaws, while they do not
show so much progressiveness in
other lines as the CherOkees, are
the best politicians of the Five
Tribes.
The Choctaw Indians have
dropped the old Indian campaign,
and now the winning party wins on
a basis that would do credit to any
political machine in the states. A
regular campaign committed is ap-
pointed. 1t has plenty of money.
From the time it is appointed un-
til the campaign is over it devotes
its entire time to the campaign.
The greatest part of the work is
compiling and distributing cam.
paign literature. Every Issue
that is involved in the election is
gone over thoroughly and every ar
gument is answered. This litera
ture is printed in English and
Choctaw. The party that has
adopted the new method has wor
every election in the Choctaw ma
ton. The party that clings to the
old Indian method is defeated.

THE POPULATION CENTER.
That of the United States Has Been
Going Slowly Westward for
Several Decades.

The center of population" Of
the United States, as fixed under
each federal census, travels slow
~ westward, and is now a little
north of the valley of the Ohio riv.
er, and has been for several deo-
AIDES in southern Indiana, says the
Washington Post. The present
center of negro population, how
ever, as fixed by the same bureau,
is now at DeKalb county, Ala
bama, on the Georgia border, a
few miles south of Tennessee.
That is, while the center of white
population moves westward. that
of the negro population moves
steadily southwest, and has been
doing so for more than 100 years,
having Travelled through Virginia,
North Carolina and Georgia in
turn, and now having crossed to
Alabama, The divergence be-
tween the two centers grows
greater with each decade. At the
close of the reconstruction period
it was expected by many people
that there would be a vast influx
of southern negroes into the
north, until the whole west would
be oyerrun with refugees from
the southern plantations. Actu-
ally, throughthenatura operation
of the law of selection, the negro
population gravitates toward the
Gulf of Mexico, and particularly
to the cotton raising states. The
cOlOred population of Maryland,
Kentucky and Missouri, border
states, is not increasing consider.
