Wronging Poor seLo.,,

All the wrongs visited upon the red
man by the whites since this country
was settled by palefaces can never be
wiped out in the future history Of the
Indian, and such reminders Of evil as
the recent Ute troubles should con-
vince us that the much vaunted Amer
lean fair play ought not to consist in
mere talk. Here is a weak people,
unable to do a thing for themselves,
and brought to that plight by the cease
less and remorseless encroachment Of
the materially stronger race.
AS usual, discontented Indians, who
next week or next month or next year
leave the barrens where the white
mans government has set them down
to become "good Indians" by starva-
tion to save the cost of bullets, will
be hunted and forced or wheedled into
returning to their appointed doom. The
doom is to suffer race stagnation and
degeneracy on lands no white man
happens to want for the time being.
The better the land is for Indian COM
fort and welfare the sooner the red
man will be told to move on to some
impoverished or sterile site, there to
become that "good Indian" which is
the white mans delight.
Even though the great white chief
at Washington feeds the Indian and
protects him undisturbed on his reser-
vation, still the red men owe this
government nothing. They had more
land and freer range and more to eat
before. The burden of conscience in
the whole transaction is on the white
man. If the Indian gets desperate it
Is the. fault Of his prosecutor and keep
er. Plans have been unfolded recently
by the Indian commissioner to develop
the good that is in the red man and
make life worth living for the youth
and children Of that hapless race. With
homes that they can call their own
forever and pursuits adapted to their
capacities, the Indians should become
happy and at the same time useful
citizens.

Made Happy for Life.

Great happiness came into the home
of S. G. Blair, school superintendent
at St. Albans, W. Va, when his little
daughter was restored from the dread
full complaint he names. He says:
"My little daughter had st. Vitus'
Dance, which yielded to no treatment
but grew steadily worse until as a
last. resort we tried Electric Bitters;
and..I rejoice to say, three bottles
effected complete cure.'' Quick,
sure cure for nervous complaints,
general debility, female weaknesses,
impoverished blood and malaria.

the udders of dairy COWS and the de-
partment is convinced that tubercu-
losis is sometimes communicated to
human beings, especially children,
through milk carrying the bacilli of
the disease.
The bulletin of the department. will
lay great stress on what is called the
"tuberculin test'' in discovering the
presence of the disease in cattle. It
is claimed that by this means, without
injury to the animals, and with but
little cost and trouble, cattle may be
tested and the presence or absence of
the disease determined with a high
degree of certainty. The test is most
commonly applied to dairy cattle. In
a large number of cases, where the
test has been applied the presence of
tuberculosis has been discovered in
herds where it's existence had not been
suspected. The necessity for some
such thorough test has been made
more emphatic by recent federal in
spection disclosing that the disease is
widespread among hogs. It had been
hitherto held that tuberculosis existed
only in cattle. The department says
that tuberculosis is now recognized as
an Infectious disease caused and
spread by a microbe or bacillus, and
DR.. Salmon will present the various
methods of eradicating it from dairy
herds. The important feature in all
the methods is complete separation
of all affected animals from the
healthy ones, the thorough disinfec-
tion of barns which have been occu-
pied by tuberculous animals, and the
establishment of better sanitary con-
ditions. The department. will advise
that when affected animals are not of
too great value they be Immediately
slaughtered when found to be affected.
DR.. Salmon says that in cases of costly
pure-bred stock the affected animal
may be isolated and kept for breeding
purposes, for time at least, without
danger. DR.. Salmon urges a COM
plete cooperation between the federal
and the state governments in efforts
to eradicate the disease.-Dairy Re-

The American LANGUAGE.

Writing in the London Monthly Re-
view, Miss Enid Campbell Dawncy
treats the development Of the Ian
guage spoken in this country as the
beginning Of new tongue. OF this
new language generally the writer
says:
Its elements are wide, diverse, even
confusing, composed as they are Of Sc
lections, on basis of the English tongue,
from almost every language spoken in
the world at this time. There is good
spring up In vast country inhabited by
recruits from all the world and perpet-
ually refreshed by drafts Of immigrants
Words that are most expressive or easy
or descriptive strike the ear and are
gradually adopted. but besides this there
Is that deeper race character which
evolves its own mode Of speech. .
Accent and intonation, the writer
says, form the most striking diver
gences from the mother tongue In our
speech, but marked changes are also
noted in the form Of words It does
not follow, though, that what the Eng
lish may deem a wrong or unwarrant-
ed use Of many words by Americans
tends to impoverishment. The over
working Of certain words Is comment
ed upon, as, for instance, "claim" as a
substitute for allege, assert, protest.
profess, advance, PROFOUND, depose,
avow, and so on; also "prominent"
when notable, remarkable, chief, prin-
cipal, leading, foremost, important and
other synonyms would better declare
the meaning In the main Miss Dawn
cy sees in this new language devel-
opment the assertion by the American
people Of their independence of all
hampering forms Of the ancient tongue
while still hotly proclaiming adherence
to classic accuracy" She thinks that
purists Of the mother tongue should
not Judge with intolerance the process
unfolding before their eyes, but give
to it scientific study as the evolution
Of new language.

When Quail We're Quail.

On the big plantations in the south
no gun was ever fired at quail.
There was no netting until the master
said the word. He knew exactly when
"bob-white" was ripe for dinner, and
woe to the poacher! A load of shot
(buckshot at that) was none too good
for him. Five coveys of dozen birds
each was regarded as enough for one
drive, making capture of sixty fat,
plump, sound morsels the like of which
we of this day and generation may
never know. The master would look
through the coops and release dozen
of the finest cocks and hens for breed
ing. The remainder were smothered
for dinner in the old-fashioned south
ern style before the animal heat was
out of them. Or they went into a
great Brunswick stew, with squirrels,
squads, chickens, rabbits, slices of salt
pork, rice and the usual vegetables
used in the making of this, the fore
most of all southern dishes.
The cheapening of shotguns bring
ing them within the reach of the poor
est country tramp or city loafer has
done more to destroy the quail in this
country than all the netting of CEN
turies. Your hunters object is to kill
everything in sight. Having no land
of his own he is usually poacher.
He slaughters other peoples birds,
leaving none to continue the breed,
selects few choice ones for himself
and gluts the market with his butch
cries and thefts. Netting was the sport
of gentlemen, who practiced it in a
manly way on their own demesnes.
The decimation of quail once year
was almost a necessity on many plan
tations, as under the strict protection
of the day their increase was so rapid
as to threaten a wholesale destruction
of crops.
The vacations of great many of
Americans these days are devoted to
ruthless slaughter. When the quail
season opens IN the various states it
means a vast expenditure for powder,
shot and shell, continual lombard
ment of field and wood by reckless
boys and foolish men, whose sole am
bition is to kill more birds than any,
body else. The law protects game
not for projections sake, but for
butchers to destroy. A few years ago
you could buy a dozen live, fat quail
for fifty cents in the back country.
Five dollars a dozen for shot-riddled
dead ones is not now an unusual price.
Time was, and not very long ago,
when you could bag dozen quail in
an hours walk. Now you may have
to tramp hundred miles for so many
in certain parts of the country. New

The people of Alabama will be in terested to learn that a number of the Texas papers are discussing the pro- priety of putting forward Senator -cuiberson of Texas as a candidate for the Democratic nomination to the Presidency in 1908 Senator culberson was born at Dadeville. Tallapoosa County, this State. and as g native. Of Alabama his public career has been watched here with interest and pride. If there were nothing else to say Of the Senator, 1t would be true that few, If any of the many distinguished men born here. who have won their spurs elsewhere, hold a higher place in the regard of our people.
 There is, however, much besides to be said of the Senator. Ills father. who lived for a number of years In this State, endeared the name of Gull person to the whole country y his hu- nor, his sagacity, his wisdom and his statesmanship. The son Is winning a higher place still lie is ,4e most popular man in Texas. His progress there in politics, through the Attor- ney- -Generalship, the Governorship, 10 the Senate has served to solidify hfs following in Texas. He has left no enemies by the way. Cn the contrary, lie has grown stronger with his people and more popular with every new op- portunify he has had to exhibit the qualities in him. He has grown at Washington, too. and in the country at large. He is recognized as one of the soundest lawyers in the Senate, one of the best debaters, among the first in influence in that body. He is a credit to his State and an honor to the South.
 We are not now passing for our selves upon tEe propriety of the South having a candidate to offer the Ma tionaI Convention in 1908. That is a debatable question and if debated it will in our judgment be we'll worth debating. Just now we are alone con- cerned in sending to our contempora- ries in Texas a cheering word as to their Senior Senator. Wherever he is and wherever he may be called, we feel the assurance he will cast lustre, if Texas-refected only, on his mother State, Alabama.

And. though the facilitation of commerce has made fresh beef a lir- tie more familiar at farm house tabl es than 1t was half a century ago sat codfish is even now not a negligible element of nutrition.

An Observers Impressions of the

 "As to woman suffrage. I asked many about it, and men and women seemed to agree that it is a good thing" says Charles Edward Russell in s'Soldiers or the Common Good" in the Christmas men have notably improved political life; it is the cleaner and purer because of them. Women go to political meet ings and rowdyism. fees before themi candidates are very careful what they say and how they say 1t when they know women voters are listening to them. Public officers are more careful about their records, because it has been found that women will not overlook things that the men pardon. As to public policies, the women have stead fly supported reform and the new ideas; they have not cared whether thing was sanctioned by the ages so long as 1t was right and good. This is what the men told me. The women said they had not found 1t any more dreadful to go to polling place and vote than to go to a store and buy bread; they had never seen nor heard anything shocking at a polling place, but invariably they had been treated there with the greatest respect. The men said that most of them did not know how their wives voted. As for letting the soup burn and the children go hungry and womans sphere and all that sore of thing. the New Zealanders despise any such suggestions about their voting helpmates. They say a. woman can vote and understand per- fectly what she is voting about and be just as good wife and mother as IT she never had an idea in Ser life about puddings I don't kndwi know have seen a great many New Zealand households, and they seemed exactly as well ordered, as bright cheeTIuI ana happy as any other households any where on this celestial globe.

Prdtectlng the Negro.

Newberry (S. CD Obseryer.
 The negro is often protected from the consequences of his own misdoing by white men. He does not always get justice in the courts; sometimes being punished too severely, as others not at all.
 As soon as a negro gets into trouble. especially if no white man is concern ed in it. somebody goes to his protee- tfon with money to pay him out in one hand and a labor contract m the other. TO such an extent has this gone that negroes have come to be exceedingly free in the use of the gun among each other. shooting on small proVocatlon; and it is seldom they suffer the penalty that should be vested upon them. an- less the shooting proves fatal.

TV,e pereneration of IreIaHts.

Tn a significant and " ell-informeo paper in the current Harper's Weekly entitled ''The Regeneration of Ireland" in which Mr. Sydney Brooks discusses the remarkable work of the Gaelic League, this movement is characterized as one "of national resurrection. of national self-realization and self-inds- pendence" MT. Brooks believes that "there is no modern miracle more stu- pendous or more fascinating than inc rebirth of an ancient nation; and 1t is nothing less than this that is now being wrought in Ireland. The people are recreating themselves from within They are recovering their coilectivs soul; they are reviving their racial con. sciousness: they are being swept and fnvigorated by the returning spirit of essential nationhood. Compared with this profound and penetrating revivia- cation, eiually blended of practicality and idealism, no agitation In lrIhh his tory. not Fenianism. nor the Land League. nor the home-rule movement itself. is worth, in my judgment, much more than a moments thought.
