A SERIOUS QUESTION.
Congressman Burke Says
Supreme Court Decis
ion Means "A Lot
of Trouble.
VERY BAD FOR THE INDIANS.
Law Will Result in the Indians
Being Robbed by Unscru-
pulous Whites.

Chas. I'll. Burke in a recent inter
view upon the decision of the United
States supreme court which hello
that an Indian holding land by allo
ment was the equal of the white
man in the eyes of the law when il
came to the purchase of intoxicat
ing liquors sad:
Il have not seen the decision,
remarked Mr.. Burke. "All that
know Of the decision is what | have
seen in the press reports. However
if the decision is as far reaching as
is generally believed it is certainly
a most serious matter, | am anx.
ously awaitinga full text of the decis-
ion and certainly hope that it is moi
as sweeping and as far reaching as
is now believed. If the decision is
as we understand, it is the worst
thing that ever happened for the
Indians. A drunken white man is
bad enough, but a drunken Indian
is a devil-an insane man. don't
know what will become of the white
people who have taken land amongst
the Indians. If the Indians can gel
all the liquor that they want it Ger
tainly will not be safe for white PEE
pie to live amongst them.
"Thore is another side to this
question besides the moral one. Il
the government washes its hands
entirely from the case of the Indians
it means that it will be but short
time before they will become Ia,
wards of the different states in which
they are located, The government
has at present something like 500,
600 belonging to the Indians of the
Sisseton reservation. This is to b.
paid to the Indians entitled to tbs
same at the rate of SO per month,
How much of the money doyou sup.
pose the Indians will ever realize
any benhfit fromp And when this
is gone what is to become of tn,
Indian?
"While the decision will relieve
the government from the many pro
secutions for illegal sale of liquor i
means an increase in other crime:
which the Indians will commit while
under the influence of liquor.
"Yes, L. understand that if tn,
decision is as sweeping as indicated
efforts will be made for reh9aring
But if the supreme court was unani
nous in its decision there is it'll,
hopes of reversal
This decisian puts the saloon man
who wants to obey the law Id 1
worse hole than ever. If the Intiiar
who has taken land in severalty anc
becomes citizen is entitled to pur
chase liquor, and the Incjan wht
lives on the reservation as wasd o
the government is not entitled t
this privilege, how is the saloon mar

to quenoh his thirst and which il
not.

 As an all around exercise cycling Is about as good as swimming. Running, too, is one of the best of the general exercises for women, and college girls have long since exploded the supersti- ton that a woman cannot run. In running iace a college girl recently beat a young man who was trained athlete. But that girl was trained athlete, too. Classical dancing Is noble, all round exercise. too.
 The faddists and fakirs who take up the teaching of so called physical cul- ture as a means of getting money will find themselves rapidly weeded out Of business by the really scientific and ed ucated physical educators. To be teacher of bodily development 1t Is not now sufficient even to take the ordinary course of physical instruction.
 Two years must be given to special work by the would be teacher even af- ter the ordinary gymnastic course in a college. She must learn anatomy and physiology. likewise hygiene. She must have anthropometry, or the measuring of the human body, at her finger ends. There, too. is kinesiology, the knowl- edge of muscular movements. one of the most difficult and at the same time most important of all
 The teacher must be able to detect physical defects and apply the cure to pigeon toes. wabbling, incurving knees, high hips, round shoulders, large stomachs and flat chests and even spinal curvatures. All this 1t Is to be an expert in physical education.

THE SCIENTIFIC
 PHYSICAL EDUCATION.

When physical education has as much attention given to 1t in our country as is the case in Japan. the American people will be undoubtedly the hand soonest race in civilization. All the world must at present sit at the Feet of the Japs in the matter of bodily training Happily. though. American women are waking up to our physical defects and to the necessity for cor recting these in themselves and in their children.
 The teacher of physical education for women and children Is nearly as much in demand as the instructor in music In truth, the demand is far greater than the supply, and a refined. we'll educated athletic young woman with her own living to earn could select no better paying occupation than that of gymna- sium instructor. Last year at a phys ical training school in Boston there were twenty-f1v students in the grad uating class for teachers, while the in stitution had on file 125 applications for such teachers. The applications came from colleges attended by girl students.
 The first thing for American women to realize Is that 0 child needs physf- cal education as much as 1t needs food. The perfect body is one whose owner has all It's muscles under control and developed to their highest working ef- flciency. The little Jap girls education begins as soon as she has left infancy. It is also true, though, that woman whose physical education was neglected in her childhood can remedy the error at any age. just as one can at any age learn to. read and write.
 There has been opened in connection with Columbia University in New York the most nearly perfect women's gymnasium in the world. It Is open not only to women students, but to all women who wish to make use of it's unexcelled facilities for rendering the feminine body strong, graceful and supple. The building and equipments cost s400.0OO Of this $110.000 was paid for apparatus. There are four handball courts. three bowling alleys, a fencing room. running track and a large swimming pool All capable in structors agree that if any one physical exercise is really the best. of those now in fashion, that one is swimming. It has the additional advantage of culti- vating cool headedness and steadiness of nerve in a woman, thus striking at the root of that silly cowardice and timidity which have been fo.

Where Women are Scarce.

In all Quebec there are only ten more males than females. In Ontario. with large areas being opened up for set clement. there are about 10000 more males than females Manitoba Is 22. 900 females short. British Columbia is 50.00o short, while in the unorganiz- ed territories the females are outnum- bered by two to one. All this goes to show that 1t is fin the pioneer districts that the men predominate.
 However. in spite of the balance of numbers against the women, there are in Canada 1.564.01l unmarried females of various ages All things considered. 1t Is unlikely that immigration as a purely matrimonial venture would be Justified. In the early days of Canada's history, when shiploads of damsels were brought from France to espouse the kings soldiers the experiment was scarcely a success.
