Telephone Attraetivsness.

BY most people who own telephones
it has not been considered necessary TO
adorn them In any way. The plain
wood boxes or simply the nickel instru-
ment and the yards Of green tape have
suited even the most aesthetic, but now
it is beginning to be fad to make the
telephone an ornament as well as a
useful affair. Although the instrument
itself can hardly be transferred to suit
the individual taste and though it Is
not yet possible to have the inevitable
green tops covered with some sort OF
Powered crepe de chine to match the
wall paper, it is, however, practicable
TO make the telephone corner in keep
ing with the rest of the furnishings.

dian graves. De Sotos expedition
through the Indian country of the
South was little better than raid OF
cruelty, oppression and plumber. The
Spaniards took from the natives what
ever pleased them, enslaved men and
women and broke open and plundered
the graves of their dead. Their ex-
ample has been followed by all other
white races to greater or lesser ex-
tent. Few of us are free from blame,
for that matter We have been so
long in the habit of doing so that
we open any Indian grave without
thought that we are doing anything
wrong. t.
Suppose just for a moment that con-
ditions could be reversed. Let us
imagine the Indians taking possession
of this country and Decorating the
sacred burial places of our dead
would we not look on 1t as vandalism
of the most pronounced type? Would
the act be any more reprehensible
when performed by savages than
when the same thing is done by civ
ilized people? And yet. as we have
said, most of us fail to see that. we
are doing anything wrong when, ''in
the interest of science" we dig up the
bones and trinkets of one of our pre-
decessors. Curious, Is it not?

VIOLATING GRAVES

Acting on a request from the State
Historical Society of Kansas the At
torney General of that State has just
handed down an opinion to the effect
that ut Is just as much of a crime to
open Indian graves. even in the inter
est of archaeological research as it is
to open the graves of white people"
He further declares that the law no
where permits the opening of graves
for archaeological or scientific re-
Search" and, in concluding his opin-
ion he adds that he knows of no rea-
son why Indian graves should be de
spoiled any more than another The
rights of the red man should be ro-
spected as much as those of whites or
blacks All the natural instincts and
feelings of humanity cry out against
the violation of sepulture. Except in
the interest of justice or prompted by
motives of love and duty. the sanctt-
ty Of each deceased persons six feet
of earth should not be disturbed"
II that is not a sound opinion, found
ed on right and justice, why not? The
Indians held their burial places as sa-
cred and inviolabie as we hold ours

Noting the statement that Governor
Hughes of New York refuses to take
orders from the White House, The
Hartford Times lays down two funda-
mental principles of government as
follows:
First-The State should not interfere
in problems that local communities are
audited to solve for themselves, and
il should trespass as little as possible
Second--The Federal Government
should not seek to exercise functions
which properly belong to the State
governments.
These two brief paragraphs may
fairly be said to compose the founda-
tion of a Republican form of Govern
ment, and The Times well adds that "a
Systematic protest against the disposi-
ton of Staes to NEEDLE in the affairs
of cities. and of the nation to NEEDLE
in the affairs of States, is needed. p"
Verify is such protest needed, and
IT should come from all who have at
heart the stability and welfare of the
Union and the guaranteed freedom of
the American people. The disposition
of the present administration to NEEDLE
with matters which should be left
solely to the States is too plain to be
overlooked or disregarded. An uni
versal protest should be made. and it
should not be confined to Democrats
or to the South.

Britain and Her Colonies.

Washington Post.
The colonies are more likely to fall
apart and become Independent commu-
mites rather than portions of a con-
solidated empire The national sent
iment and the desire for the retention
of some tie connecting them with the
mother country remain very strong. but
not strong enough to blind them to
what their commercial interests are. A
policy satisfactory to Australia might
be most unacceptable to Canada and
all the colonies have become too much
accustomed to self-government to be
willing to relinquish any power to i'm
perial control. 1t seems probable that
as new generations arise, all of whose
interests and associations are in the
countries of their birth, the sentimental
tie between empire and colonies will

That is all very well, as far as it goes,
but we want to know how the burglar
felt when he opened the woman's satch-
ell and saw what was in it. We sup
pose no one will know what he said,
because his language wouldn't look well
in print, but his photograph when he
