Of our consulates Assistant Secretary OF
State Peirce found not only the exterlors
but the governments office furniture and
other equipment at these posts in a decid-
edly shabby condition. He estimated that 1t
would require about S3c0,O00 to put them
in respectable shape.
Our consuls at Tangier, Seoul, Bangkok,
Annoy and Tahiti have an advantage in that
their official abodeS are owned by Uucle sam
and they are relieved from rent bills. But
even the conSulateS owned by the govern
ment are nearly all shabby affairs at the
best, that at Tahiti appearing like the typi-
cal southern negro hut. So TO relieve all Of
this embarrassment and to encourage more
Americans and higher type of men to fill
at least majority of our consular offices,
higher salaries will be asked OF Congress.

The new order requiring a sort of civil
service examination for applicants for con-

consul general at London who, adding 1t
to his salary realized from his berth a few
pennies less than $4,000 This, the best

INDIANS CLAIM MILLIONS.
State of South Carolina Made Party
to Big Controversy.

Attorney william F. Partlow has just
returned from Columbia. S. c., where he
went TO investigate the alleged claim of the
Catawba Indians against that state. I'M
der treaty with the Catawbass it is said,
the state of South Carolina gave to this
tribe a tract of land fifteen miles square IN
what is now York and Lancaster counties.
In 1903 the state legislature passed an act
authorizing the Indians to lease their lands
for a period of ninetynine years. Suisse
auent to the passage of this act another
act was passed conveying to the lessees the
states right. title and interest in and TO
the said lands. In $780, 1t is claimed, an
agreement was entered into by the state
with the Indians for the purchase of all
their lands.
The Indians now claim that the agree
ment of 1910 was invalid, as it was con-
trary to the Indian intercourse act, and
they intend to hold the state for the value
of their lands, which is, approximately,
81, 000.0O
Attorneys Partlow and Chester Howe OF
this city have been employed TO represent
the Indians. and the matter will be pre-
scented to the South Carolina legislature at
its session In January next.

forced for their food and lodging to the
sailors boarding house situated in the
midst of evil houses and low-down rum
shops, Thus they will be ruined physically
and morally, and instead of having a navy
in time of war, we will have the floating
forts without the men. The men will be in
the hospitals or in the jails, or killing two
birds with one stone-in the hospitals of
the jails.
It has always seemed to me that the
managers of hotels, theaters and steamboat
lines make a mistake. They misjudge the
feeling Of the public. They seem to think
that the public objects to the presence of
the man in uniform. There may be a few
that do, but the vast majority do not. On
the contrary, they Ike to see the blueJacket
in their midst. Certainly in those few
places where he is received as any other
American citizen there is no objection
raised. The first-class hotels and thea
tiers OF Boston. the Atlantic Hotel and the
alters of Norfolk and the great railroads or
the west will uphold this statement.
This article is intended as an appeal in
the name of the bluejacket. an appeal to
the common sense and PATRIOTISM OF the
American people, an appeal to the man
ayers of hotels, stheaterS and public con-
yeyances for justice.
All the bluejacket asks is to be treated
as any other American citizen. to be treat
ed wherever he goes as an individual. II

self let him be debarred, and more than
that let him be reported by name and sta
tion to the Navy Department or to his COM
manding officer. and the offense will be
punished just as if it had been committed
on board ship. Such is the regulation of the
navy.
But when the bluejacl<et acts in a re-

who gives his life to the protection and
defense of that flag!
Our people cannot afford to have the
bluejacket treated so harshly, un1ustly
in time of peace, for we need him too bad
ly In time of war. Our people should con-
slider this and consider it seriously.
Today more than ever In the history of
our navy we need bright, energetic, self
respecting and respectable men. We cam
not establish a powerful navy without the
man behind the gun. We cannot hope for
a powerful navy unless the man behind the
gun is intelligent, as well as strong and
vigorous.
Does any one ina CINE that we are going
to keep the right kind of men, when by
wearing the uniform they are debarred
from the presence of respectable people,
when they cannot get a room in a first or
second-class hotel, when they cannot take
meal in the dining room of steamer un-
til the rest have departed, when they can
not gain admdttance to frst-class the
alter? Does any one imagine that the men

conditions or after enlisting are going to

of an estate or some other legal business
The Yankee consul recommends a LAWYER
after the latter has agreed to double his
usual charge and then "divvy'' with the
consul. OF course, it amounts to the clients
paying double the reasonable fee MANY
consuls who have never seen a law book
have the brass to give clients their valued
opinions and then charge generous fees
for their legal acumen.
Much the same farce is enacted by our
consuls In the orient, but there with Cow

guarantee of protection under the native
laws, which often permit capital punishment
after cruel tortures for minor offenses.
Our treaties with these and some other
uneniightened countries stipulate that our
own laws shall apply to all Americans hap
penins within their boundaries. Hence
when a Yankee Is accused of crime or is

Our prestige abroad has been suffering
considerably because of the mean quarters
which our consuls are forced to occupy. For
office rent such an official is allowed 20
per cent of his salary. If his Office and
dwelling are under the same roof as ere-
quently occurs, he must pay personally for
rental an amont proportonatte to the
rooms which he occupies for living purposes
But in the majority of posts the pay and
fees amount to SO little that he can afford
only a house that is squalid in comparison
with the dwellings of his foreign colleagues
in the consular corps at his post. Indeed,
some of our consulates appear like the hum
BILE cots of our small farm tenants. For
several months past many of our consus
have been forced to pay out of their sala-
ries the rental for their offices as we'll as
