THE FALSE AND TRUE
Some Interesting Facts About Indian
 Manufactures.

When one buys an article as a curio or memento he wants the genuine and not an imitation. which is of no value to him wahtever. The value lies entirely in the genuineness of it. Now. for instance. there is Indian handiwOrk. Most of the articles made by the Indians are only valuable be- cause they are made by the Indians. An article just like them and intrin- sically the same is worthless for the purposes for which il is purchased.
 This fact is brought to mind by the receipt recently at Balke's Big Curio store of a large lot of old Navajo sil- verware from Mir. Balke's trading sta ton on the reservation. It is all gen uine and old. Many of the rings and bracelets show signs of the great age, the rude engraving in many places having been worn smooth. The In dians do not part with these articles willingly. but always under some great stress They are not made for sale but for personal adornment and are kept as long as possible.
 Many of the bracelets have the swastika cross in various sizes and they come in the most desirable widths. narrow and medium, which have been so hard to get. There are | tured in Phoenix by a Mexican. The silver is German silver rolled under pressure into the shape of the bracelet. They, too. have the swastika cross, but it is stamped on with a steel cross. while the genuine is engraved. IL is
 easy to detect the spurious when it is put alongside the genuine.
 | Beside these genuine Navajo brace ! lets there are a lot of old rings in a dozen designs. some of them set with ! turquoise, as many of the bracelets | are Then there are a lot of silver buttons of various sizes. These but 1 tons have been made of coin silver, ' the milled edges showing on the edges pretty shirt waist ornaments or hand some belt buckles.
 ! There is another novelty in the way ' of a bracelet consisting of ten swas-
 tika crosses linked together. Besides
 these there are swastika watch fobs of various sizes. Included in the ship
 ment are many silver emblems. One of them exceedingly rare is the old chiefs swastika. the ends of the arms of the cross joined to the center by sawlike lines
 There are a great many other cur iious emblems. one of them the famous ] Navajo water sign. Another is the Zuni cross of hard wood covered with
 silver. It was found in one of the ruins
 of an early CathrOlic church establish
 ed among the Indians by the pioneer
 Spanish missionaries.

could be had. Widespread suffering
and inconvenience from lack of coal
are reported from half a dozen states,
yet there has been no shortage in
the seasons output The winter has
not been unusually severe and snow
blockades have not been numerous.
The fault is with the railroad compa-
nies, Notwithstanding their complaints
about scarcity of cars
Coal is a low grade, easily handled
freight, but does not yield as large a
revenue as some other freight Con-
sequently it is likely to be sidetracked
to make room for more profitable
business.
The car-shortage complained of m-
doubtedly exists in some cases. But
that is no excuse for not hauling
abundant supplies of a necessary Of

inadequate equipment cannot earn as
much money that way as on some
other, grades of freight.

governors chair in spite of the Roose-
welt wave that swept everything be-
fore it that year.
The public grasped the idea. It's
influence upon them was apparent at
once The vote that was cast for Mr..
Berge convinced the republican lead
ers that they must beat an immediate
retreat from the railroad camp or the
people would rally behind Berge and
make him governor and put the re-
publican party out of business.
What caused the somersault of the
republican leaders on the pass ques-
ton? The answer is, the people had
caught on to the idea that men who
accepted passes from the railroads
could no longer be trusted to give them
justice as against the demands of
the railroads. The people had at last
began to understand that the men who
rode on passes were not to be trusted
to nominate candidates for office that
would be distasteful to railroad pass
distributors. Hence the republican
leaders realized that they must give
up their passes and have their party
declare against them
Note the result In the campaign
of this year all parties declared
against the pass evil, and no man
could be elected to the legislature,
outside of Omaha and Lincoln, who
was known to ride on a pass. The
incoming Legislature is pledged to
abolish the pass evil, and it is a fore
gone conclusion that law will be
enacted that will limit, if not destroy,
the insidious bribe that has been so
potent factor in the politics of the
state, that the railroads have enjoyed
the privilege of plundering the people
ad libitum.

THEN AND NOW
{From Philadelphia Public Ledger

{F'rom Philadelphia Public Ledger
Before the United States acquired
the Philippine islands this country
was in an absolutely impregnable pos
ition. Since the seizure and annexa-
tion of those distant island the mill
tary position of Unreasonable strength
has been at one stroke absolutely re
versed
No country, and not all the powers
and nations of the earth combined,
would have dared to think of a war
excursion across the Atlantic or the
Pacific against the United States
Americas position was absolutely un-
assailable, but with the acquisition of
the Philippines she has given hostages
to any enemy; because, though "all
things are possible to Americans"
even they would tax all their resources
and all their power and all their
strength if they were to attempt to
conduct a combat with a first class
power at a distance of 5000 miles
across seas from their base of sup
plies.
There is, of course, 10 war on the
horizon, but it is safe to say that
these, our first fruits of colonialism
and foreign adventure, when they are
coldly considered, will give pause to
the American people and to any sane
administration in the future when the
subject of the fate of the Philippines
is to be calmly considered.

THE "BAcoN DOCTRINE

(From the Providence, r. l., Journal.)
More important than the ratifica-
ton of the Algeciras treaty by the
senate was the adoption by that body
of Senator Bacon's resolution declar
ing that this country has mo purpose
to depart from the traditional Amer
ican foreign policy which forbids par
ticipation by the United States in the
settlement of political questions which
are entirely European in their scope"
Although, as the resolution says, this
non-interference in European concerns
is a traditional tenet of American
policy, it might be difficult to point
ont an occasion upon which 1t has
been affirmed in so clear and author
itatiye a manner; and If we are to
maintain the Monroe doctrine, which
aims at the continued exclusion of
Europe from participation in the
affairs of the western hemisphere
except SO far as that privilege now
exists-it follows as a natural infer
ence that we should not interfere in
European problems. In time the Ba-
con doctrine may become as familiar
as the Monroe doctrine, and prove as
salutary in maintaining a just inter
national balance.

THE WEST AND THE SUBSIDY
BILL

(From the Milwaukee JournaD
1t is a very significant fact that two
of the hardest workers for subsidy
are men who were unable to persuade
their constituents to renominate them
for congress. They are Grosvenor OF
Ohio and Minor of Wisconsin. They
will vote for a subsidy bill In any
form, Notwithstanding they represent
states that can in no way be benefited
by subsidy law. Subsidies are not
popular in this country, and it is safe
to say that other advocates of the
scheme will be left at home by their
constituents when opportunity is af-
forded
1t is in the power of representatives
from the great middle west to defeat
subsidy legislation If they will assert
their independence and overcome
their fears. Wisconsin ought to do
her full share toward accomplishing
this end. Congressman Minor is hope
less, it seems, but the people should
make their wishes so plainly known
that no other representative from this
state will dare to give his influence
and vote for a measure that is so I'M
Just and SO opposed to sound public
policy. Let your congressman know
what you think about subsidies and do
what you can to prevent this proposed
iniquity.
