The People and jamestown.

BY n vote Of 10 To So, the House
yesterday passed the Senate allow
ance of 100000 as a loan TO the
jamestown Exposition. This is suf-
fieiently gratifying of itself. All
that now remains is that the Presi-
dent shall sign the bill and make
the fund available, when the success
of a national fair-nearer TO Wash
ington and the other large cities of
the East than any other lately held
viii be secure.
But it is equally gratifying TO
consider the basis of that action by
the House. Its committee had re-
ported an amendment. Party 10y
atty had TO be over-ridden, there
fore, TO defeat the amendment and
sustain the Senate. The. force which
impelled members 10 that action
was not pity for the exposition, or
anxiety to develop Hampton Roads,
or even patriotic desiEe TO COM
memorate properly the settlement
of jamestown. IL was a realization
ON the part of those Representatives
that their people at home were gen
timely and deeply interested in this
exposition. and desired that the Gov
eminent should give il all reason
able support.
Whoever, within the year, has Wis
tied the smaller towns between New
York and St. Louis will realize that
these 40 members of the House
have merely reflected the attitude of
the people whose representatives
they are.

Rev. Albert Holden. who has been
sentenced to serve six years in

thirteen wives.
This was in Toledo, Ohio, where

all of which goes 10 show the spirit

sin of higamy, but it is evident big

Laws to fleet the Case.

Everybody WHO knows anything
about present-day conditions Of de-
velopment in the West, knows that
Senator Newlands is right in his
vigorous declaration that public land
laws are all wrong. and an invita-
ton to fraud. Unless they are
changed, and radically changed,
there must follow one OF two
things: either Western development
will be checked. or frauds win con-
tinue.
The present law permits not over
100 acres. OF timber or coal land TO
be taken by one person. There is
absolutely no possible chance of
probably developing such an area
of either. The appurtenanees re-
quired and the preliminary expenses,
in machinery, etc, in either case
would cost more than the total out
put of coal or lumber would be
worth. Likewise, there are great
areas on grazing lands of which 100
acres may be entered by a home
steader, enough 10 furnish a scanty
living 10 a few head of stock, but
not enough to be of any possible
value 10 the homesteader. Yet if he
tried to get enough land to make it
of value, he must connive at a viola
ton of the laws intent.
So with other classes of lands and
other laws. When the wonderful
lands of Illinois and Indiana and
Ohio were yet to be settled. 100
acres meant Independence and ulti-
mate afiiuence. The lands that are
now 10 be Lad are largely of an
other class. The old laws do not
meet the new conditions, and unless
they are changed development will
plainly be checked.
President ROosevelt's order sus.
pending the issuance of patents
has checked development. It is a
serious matter 10 the West. But
the suspension of patents seemed
10 be the only process by which to
stop frauds. Instead of criticizing
the President for doing the best he
can with bad laws, il would be more
fitting should Congress take the adj
vice of the Nevada Senator and re-
wise the land laws so that they
would harmonic with present con-
ditions in the West.

tenn. it is so firmly fixed in this
country that it viii never be up
rooted. There is opportunity today
for a most useful study of the oper-
atoms of the system. In the South
are hundreds of thousands of men
who were just as brave, patriotic,
and devoted soldiers as were those
of the North, but who get no PEN
sions. \ careful, intelligent study
of the economic conditions of these
two classes of old soldiers, as they
may be seen today, would be most
enlightening.
Has the pension tended 10 increase
the dependency and lessen the. social
usefulness OF the Union soldier?
Has its absence tended to develop
ment of a stronger personality in
the Southern veteran? These are
questions for whose study there
viii never be a better opportunity
than now. ana they are worth con-
sideration.

PRESIDENT CASTS
FOR NELSON BILL
Informs Conference That
Minnesota Senator's Land
Lease Idea Is Satisfactory.

President Roosevelt has come out in
favor Of Senator Nelson's bill relative
10 the leasing Of all lands containing
deposits OF coal. oil. or Ignite with
drawn from entry by the Government
Last night the President conferred
with the members of the subcommittee

The President advised the conference
that he favored the Nelson bin. He
told those present why he deems the
withdrawal Of the public lands neces-
sary 70 prevent mOnopOlizatiOn OF the
coal, oil, ana Ignite Of the country. He
iaVors policy in the leasing OF these
lands that viii prevent monopoly. At
the conference there was a free ex-

The Indians Prosper.

Spite of wide opinion 10 the
contrary. the Indian of the United
States is not going down hill. Sta
tistics show that he is increasing,
instead Of decreasing. and that as a
class he is enjoying prosperity.
We are informed that there are
now about $4,000 members of the
red race in the, United States. There
are Indians in eighteen States and
three Territories, exclusive of the
Indian Territory. Nearly all the
tribes are west of the Mississippi,
in fact most of them are beyond the
Missouri. There are 156 reserva-
tions in all. In the northwestern
part of New York there are about
5000 descendants of the great war
riOr tribes living on eight reserva-
tions.
Today thereare 159, 900 Indians who
wear citizens dress in whole or in
part. and 10000 who can read and
speak English. There are $4,000 In
dian families now living in comfort
able modern dwellings. With some
there is considerable wealth, and
with all a better financial condition
than that of twenty years ago.
The educated Indian is beginning
TO come to the front. 1t is possible
to name with pride such men and
women as Charles Curtis, newly
elected Senator from Kansas; Dr.
Charles Eastman, a Sioux; Dr.
Carlos Montezuma, an Apache;
Francis La Flesche, an Omaha In
dian, now a fellow Of the American
Association for the Advancement of
Science and a Government employe;
Honore Jackson, a successful lawyer
in Chicago; Miss Angel de Cora, a
Winnebago, an artist who has met
with much success in illustrating In
dian life, and Miss Zitkala Sa, a
Yankton Sioux, a magazine writer.
There is no doubt that time and
education are TO solve the Indian
problem satisfactorily. In fifty
years the traditional redshn-
drunken, ignorant, improvident,
crazy-YNill probably be unknown,
and his place will be occupied by an
alert and ''weli-tiXed" citizen fitting
smoothly into modern conditions of
life.

The Philippine Bank.

Modern banking systems were
founded in Venice, il is said, and
premiership in banking made Venice
queen of the Adriatic and one of the
richest cities of the world during
the days of It's glory.
Banking represents one of the
highest forms of effective social CO.
operation. Egypt languished in pow
erty for thousand years. and was
raised To prosperity in a generation
after il was provided a great ma
tional bank The bank was started
with a government guarantee. and
has become one of the most profit
able in the world II has made
Egypt financially independent, and
started it on the road TO afiiuence.
The United States is going to fol-
low this example in Egypt, unless
inertia and unthinking conservatism
prevent. The Philippine committees
of both houses are committed to the
bill TO charter such a bank II is
needed. just as it was in Egypt; it
would in all human probability do
for the Philippines what a ike in
stitution did for Egypt.
There is not so much argument
against the bank as there is even
against the revision Of the Philip
pine tariff. II would cost this Gov
eminent nothing. and it would be
perhaps as great a benefit to the
islands as tariff reduction itself.
