The Western Union operators are

BUSINESS CONDITIONS.

Despite the telegraphers' strike, an
annual stringency in the money market
owing to the regular need of cash for
handling the crops, and the low price
of railroad securities, business con.
ditions continue at high point and
there are so many favorable features
to Offset adverse conditions that the
present prospect is better than the
country has known in a long time.
The seasonable weather which con.
tinued all last week has given the
crops another boost and the harvest
will be an excellent one. Corn, which
started late owing to a backward
spring, has been bursting forth under
a scorchng sun and will get under the
wire on schedule time. And the new
harvest of wheat shows pretty near
ly maximum crop, with good quality.
On top of all these favorable crop con.
diuons the prices for farm products
continues high and the prosperity out
look could scarcely be better.
On the strength of this fine prospect
merchants are buying heavily and
factories will score new high records
for production in the east.
Despite the fact that business has
increased all along the line, and that
the number of business institution:
has increased, there were less failures
last week than in any similar weel
for many years. Too much stress was
given in many quarters to the Pope
receivership, as that was caused mere
ly by the money market stringency a
this time, owing to crop movements
rather than to any lack of business.

1t was noticeable in the results that
there was little enthusiasm for either
Fairbanks or Root, while the majority
of those who expressed opinions, aside
from the president, himself, were hear
tlly in favor Of either Taft or Hughes.

THE INDIAN SCHOOL.

The non-reservation Indian school,
such as Carlisle university, will soon
pass out of existence so far as being
federal government schools for the ex-
elusive education of Indians Is con-
cerned, and an effort is to be made by
the commissioner of Indian affairs to
place these schools under supervision
of the various states in which they
are located, providing that Indians
shall have free tuition. And the pass
ing of these schools will mark one
more step in the attempt to put the
redskin upon his own responsibility.
This effort is the only logical method
of ever making the Indian anything
like good citizen, doing his share,
and people who are acquainted with
the situation will endorse this move
ment on the part of the Indian depart
ment.
The nonreservation Indian schools
have become an expensive luxury
1t is costly to maintain and operate
them and it is difficult to induce the
Indians to attend. With the new rate
law the government no longer secures
discrimination in half rates for these
Indians, and this Is adding to the ex
pense. Here, as in the case of soldiers
various departments of the government
are finding hardships in the new law.
Such schools as that at Carlisle is
so far away from the reservations thai
the Indians are doubly difficult to per
suade when it comes to attending
The government is forcing Indians or
reservations to attend school, but IL
Withdrawing as many props as pos
sible in other ways, in order that the
Indians may learn to depend upor
themselves. Regarding the Indiar
schools, Commissioner Leupp, who has
just reached Washington from a triI
over several reservations, says:

congress authorize the transfer OF non
reservation schools To the state auth
critics, with proviso that Indian
children be educated In them free Of
cost This would not mean that the
state authorities should provide ratlOns
and clothing, but tuition.
THE truth of the whole matter Is
that the non-reservation schools are no
longer a success, and II is costing more
per pupil to maintain them than 1t has
in the past We are no longer able to
get pupils for them without the hard
est kind OF work. Nowadays, too, 1t
costs more to transport these pupils
to and from the the schools than II did
before the rate law went into effect
We have to pay full fare for them now
Instead OF getting half rates, as for
merly. In fact the non reservation
schools are becoming expensive luxu-
ries, and | believe 1t would be a wise
move to transfer them to the states,
with a proviso that the states should
make no charge for the tuition of the
Indian pupils.

but Dartmouth college, In New Hamp-
shire, was an Indian school, and under
its charter. Indian students are pro-
vided free tuition. | would like to ex-
| tend this provision to non-reservation
schools now maintained by the gov
eminent.
"Of course, should congress adopt
my suggestion, 1t wouldn't be possible
to make these transfers Immediately.
We might be able to transfer one a
year, say, until all are put under the
jurisdiction of the states. or course,
the Carlisle school would be one of
the first to be abandoned for govern
ment purposes, as 1t Is one Of the most
expensive to maintain, and 1t Is so far
from the reservations that getting the
pupils to 1t and sending them back to
their homes has become a big item of
expense. We have big and expen-
sive plant at Haskell, in Kansas, which
could be turned over to the state au-
thorities under the conditions l have
outlined"

SHAW'S INTERVIEW.

The interview of Leslie NJ. Shaw,
former secretary of the treasury, Is
worth while. Mr.. Shaw says that we
shall have just what we expect In a
financial way-and Mr.. Shaw is right.
There is much in suggestion; much
harm can come from unwholesome ag-
itation.
At present the crops are good, the
mines are producing wealth, prices for
all commodities are good and every
body is busy There is no questioning
the financial system of the country,
and there Is no reason why prosperity
shall not go on and on, undated and
unhampered, for many years to come.
There will be no check unless the
public invites 1t.
Mr.. Shaw says that if those who
have money in the banks draw it out
and the banks in turn refuse to loan
there would be u check to our present
progress and prosperity.
Sanity is needed, says Mr. Shaw
and sanity will prevail, The people
of this country know when they are
prosperous. They know when to let
well enough alone. They are seeking
no disturbing influence. And particu.
larly is this true of the west, where
the farms are free from eastern debt
and where surplus dollars are piling
up in the banks year after year. The
west was never in more prosperous
condition; the time will never come
again when the west will know the
days of 1898, For the west today is
the money-lender to the east.

ENTERTAINING VISITORS.

The plan of Secretary Cow OF the
Commercial club to entertain visiting
Madison county teachers with drive
to points of interest Friday afternoon
Is step in the right direction. 1t Is
n movement which should meet with
the hearty approval of Norfolk and
with the cooperation of these people
who can spare their carriages and n
few hours time. Every visitor in
Norfolk who gains a favorable impress
sion of the city will go out and adver-
tise the city's good points. Every
neglected and disappointed visitor be-
comes anything but a booster. 1t Is
the little things that help to create
favorable or unfavorable Impressions,
and efforts to make pleasant the stays
of out-oftown folk, whenever they
come, will make a different city alto
gether from that in which none of the
little courtesies are put forth.
1t is really unfortunate that this
commendable plan was not thought of
before so that previous guests of the
city might have had the same pleas
urcs. But that is all the more erason
why, now that the idea has come out,
the city should cooperate in its eXecu-
| ton.
First Impressions of town are last
ing ones, and they count Everything
! that Norfolk can do to create favorable
impressions will be worth while. Ev-
cry individual of the city is in part
uership with every other individual
of the city in trying to build up the
community and to look after the com
muuity's interest. Therefore every
body ought to be willing to help in
making things pleasant for the visitor.
Formally might well be tossed to the
winds for the sake of treating we'll a
stranger in town.
And speaking of good Impressions
1t may not be out of place to mention
the fact that a paved business street
in Norfolk is some day going to help
wonderfully in giving to strangers a
good opinion of the town at first
glance.
It's the little things that count.
