RED MAN AS AN INDIAN.
Commissioner Leupp Says Solution Of
Problem Is in Schoolino of Youth

Commissioner Leupp Says Solution Of
Problem is in Schooling of Youth.
Francis E. Leupp, commissioner Of
Indian affairs, deals in no uncertain
manner with the so,callcd "lndian
question" in his annual report, says n
Washington dispatch. He raps the
theorists over the knucklcs in great
style, and tells how, in his judgment,
the Indians should be treated by the
whites.
"Tho commoncst mistake made by
his white well-wishcrs in dealing with
the Indian is the assumption that he
is simply a white man with n red
skin" is the way Mr.. Lcupp opens up
his subject. "The next commoncst is
the assumption that because he is II
non Caucasian he is to be classcd in
discriminatory with other non.Cauca-
slams, like the negro for instance.
The truth Is that the Indian has as
distinct an individuality as any type
of man who ever lived, and he will
never be Judged right until we learn
to measure him by his own standards,
as we whites would wish to be mea-
sured If some more powerful race were
to usurp dominion over us"
With the situation presented of hav-
| ing the Indians in subJection, and hav-
ing been pauperized and made indo.
lent by perpetual supplies from the
treasury, Mr.. Leupp says it is won
der they have not been wholly ruined.
But though not ruined, he says, they
have suffered serious deterioration,
and the chief problem now before us
is to prevent its going any further. To
that end he says we must reckon with
several facts.
First, nothing can be done with the
Indian who has passed middle life. He
| is likely to remain an Indian of the
old school to the last. With the young
er adults we may hope to do some
thing here and there, where we find
one who is not too conservative; but
our main hope lies with the youthful
generation, who are still measureably
plastic.
"The task we must set ourselves Is
to win over the Indian children by
sympathetic interest and unobtrusive
guidance" the commissioner says. 1T
is a great mistake to start the little
ones on the path to civilization by
swapping all the ties of affection be-
tween them and their parents, and
teaching them to despise the aged
and non-progressive members Of their
families. The sensible as well as the
humane plan is to nourish their love
of father and mother and home
Again, in dealing with these boys and
girls 1t Is of the utmost importance not
only that we start them right, but that
our efforts be directed to educating
rather than merely instructing them
The foundation Of everything must bt
the development of character. Learn
ing is a secondary consideration.
"Of the 10000 or 10000 Indian chill
dren of school age in the United States
probably at least three-fourths will
settle down in that part of the ives
which we still style the frontier.

WICKED NEW YORK RUINS RICH
Steel Trust Heads Too Susceptible to
Temptations-Corey, for Example.

New York city contains too many
temptations for bright young men who
attain the position Of president of the
United States Steel corporation, be-
lieve several high officials of the cor
poration, says Pittsburg dispatch.
For this reason a movement Is on
foot to have the headquarters brought
back to Pittsburg. The reason that
will be given is that the general Off
GERS and the president would keep in
closer touch with affairs at the plants,
the most important of which are in
and around this city. The financial
department will remain in New York,
to be near the financiers who control
its destiny.
According to relatives and friends
of the Corey family in Pittsburg, Mr..
and Mrs. Charles NJ Schwab might as
well devote their time to something
else than trying to effect a reconcilia-
tion between William Ellis Corey and
his wife. 1t is declared here by those
sion might be reached by Mr.. Corey,
his wife would positively refuse to en-.
tertain any suggestions which would
! tend to bring the couple together
again, Had the attempt been made
prior to the publication of all the facts
in the case, there is but little doubt
that Mrs. Corey would have been only
too glad to overlook whatever short
comings her husband may have. Now
it is claimed, it is too late.
The prospects of the selection OF
William B. Schiller, president of the
National Tube company, to succeed
Corey are growing brighter every day
Pittsburg steel men have practically
settled upon him as the coming heac
