He should be perfect mentally, NOR

By HON. FRANCIS E. LEUPP.
Commissioner of Indisn Affairs.

Our national policy is changing. In the past,
the practice has been to assist the Indians IN many
WAYS now the Indian will be expected to help himself.
With the Indian as with other human beings, too
much help prevents a man from taking his place IN
the world. 1t is the old story of the man who must
swim in deep water or drownl
The Indians have been helped too much, have
learned to rely too much on the government. In a
sense, their minds are undeveloped in another sense,
they have done wonders. 1t is too soon to expect
much of the Indian or the negro. Think how long
the white man has been developing himself. And
, 1907-08-22

when you come to think of it, suppose you and l stopped the first 20 white
men W re net on the street and asked for details of their lives. Would
we, on the whole, hear much of prudence, care of the body, education
! think not So don't be too hard on the Indian. He stands very high,
considering his opportunities.
We don't want to make white men of the Indians; we want to make
good Indians of them, useful citizens. The Indian must become indie
pendent, earn his own livelihood. w believe he will do SO if he has o
chance.
To my mind, the most progressive, selfsustaining Indians to-day
are the Mission Indians, in southern California some Of the Rancheros
in northern California the Kamaths, in Oregon; the Makahs, in Wash.
ington. None of these ever had much from the government. They had
to get out and work on ranches, in the forests, as section hands on rail
roads and some even have become skilled mechanics in railroad shops
They are very proud of their advancement and want me to see their homes
their wives, their children.

ing the methods which. it is stated. have
been successfully adopted in London.
The pals are made from wood pulp,
and can, of course, be used only once.
They are said to be absolutely germ
proof, twelve times lighter than the ordi-
nary milk can, and are rendered water
proof by sterilization in a furnace heated
10 $50 degrees Fahrenheit. Every pau has
a closely fitting Hanged cover, which can
be quickly adjusted and, when fixed,
efectually seals the milk. AS there is
no cost for labor in sterilizing the arti-
cles, they are said to be cheaper than
metal pals. pitchers, and glass bottles.
In response tc a communication from
the officials of the Washington company,
asking if the paper receDtacles would be
acceptable to the health department. DR..
Woodward stated that they would be ac-
eepted If it was shown by a reputable
chemist that no injurious substance is
used in their manufacture. The adoption
of these pals is a question which viii
