earlier books President Roosevelt ex-
pressed the belief that even for polit-
zeal purposes the divisions originally
established ought to be readjusted.
Between the radicalism OF Mr.. Bry-
an and that OF Mr.. Roosevelt there
Is, then. little choice. Nevertheless,
while anticipating the development
OF some alternative from a situation
so preplexing those who equally dis
like the policies of both may take
comfort I'm the obvious fact that the
argument OF these two radicals so
strongly tend TO refute each other.

Roosevelt IS. centralizing proposals be-

THE FUTURE OF

As RELATED TO MODERN CIVIL
ZATION.

White men cannot be expected to
look upon the future OF the Indian
through the red mans eyes. He is O
poet by nature. and poets are emo
tional. They have their seasons OF
exaltation and their times OF depres-
sion. They are either estate or moody
and some OF them are more inclined
TO melancholia than others.
The Indians nature Is more som
Der than sunshiny. He has "A keen
sense OF humor and yet he has re-
pressed and suppressed himself for
ages. He is not given to light-heart-
edness and IL takes a great deal to
make him laugh.
IL Is not to be wondered at. there

Creeks should regard the nominal
disappearance of his race in a gloomy
spirit. But history is against his
sentimental melancholy. II is the In
