Londons Advanced Campaign Methods

Automobiles were used by the hundred in whirling speakers to various meetings, and also on election day to take the weak or aged voters to the polling places. Then, also, the wives of the candidates in the last London election made almost as strong campaigners as the offlceseek- CTS themselves. They made speeches. worked from door to door, giving out It, erature and even soliciting the support of the voters when they could be found at thsir homes. Americans would be apt to suppose that the so-called Progress sives, or Liberals, would be aided most by feminine help in a city election, but the returns showed that the Conservative candidates made tremendous gains. The old council of London stood s2 Progress sives to 35 Moderates. The present coun- ell, which has been recently elected, stands 70 Conservatives to 3S Progress siyes. Many titled ladies whose hus- bands were on the Conservative tickets went about the streets of London. from door to door. and the results prove that they did most effective work. The last London city election Is generally regarded as a rebuke for municipal ownership and for certain methods used by the Progress
 sives which during the campaign were denounced by the successful candidates sAA haina socislistia- In thsir tendencies

Nature Wonder Stones.

on the Savena Highway near the village of Piana Crixia. The French army once for amusement tried to smash this famous rocking stone with artillery but the can non balls bounced off It's granite sides and left ony a few deep scars. But the best rocking stones in the world are in our own Gardens of the Gods" which are in Colorado. The best known Is called the Balancing Rock and can hold almost a regiment of soldiers and will rock to and fro under their weight. It is-in Northern Colorado and Is not of granite but of a very hard red sandstone. Even larger is the so-called Agassiz Column which balances itself on the very verge of the terrific Yosemite Canon Val ley. It looks as If any gentle wind would toss 1t into the gulf below but 1t has stood where it is for at least three thou sand years. Back of 1t are the Yosemite Falls.
 The Cheyteyo Rock in Burmah in India Is one of the most famous balancing stones in Asia. It is an enormous boulder weighing perhaps i've hundred tons anc 1t rocks like a cradle in every wind storm. Yet the natives have bravely built a pagoda on the very top of this balancing rock and for centuries pilgrims have come to worship at this shrine. Be meath this rock 1t is asserted that the remains of great Gautama Buddha lie. The Sampan Rock is another Burmese balancing stone which Hes on the very apex of a ridge of mountains. It is ths last remaining piece of higher range ol mountains which have been eaten away by frost, rain, the winds and the heat oi the Indian sunshine.

ployed as in their own tribes The promo ters of the educational movement had calculated upon the school graduates ex- ercsing ap influence powerful for good among the older Indians. The hope was a reasonable one but was in large meas ure defeated by the character of the edu- cation given to the recruits. There are probably 10000 children of school age among the 2So,o0o Indians in the coun- try. and close to 30,000 of the former number are attending one or another of the educational institutions maintained by the Government. These include 93 boarding schools and 189 day schools on the reservations. Besides these there are 23 advanced schools, of which Carlisle University and the Haskell and Hampton Institutes are the best known. Under the inspiration of the present Commissioner a more practical policy is being followed. Industrial training is receiving greater attention. The boys are taught the handi- crafts and arts that go to the making of the capable frontiersmen. The girls learn domestic economy, sewing and cooking. At the same time a distinct effort is made to maintain their interest and skill In the ancient arts of their people, such as blanket making, weaving baskets. etc.
 About twenty years ago the growth of our Western population led to the most important changes in our Indian policy.
 Settlers looked with greedy eyes upon the rich lands marked on in reserva- tions which were only scatteringly occu- pied and hardly at all utilized by the h. dian owners. Pressure was brought to bear upon Congress with the result that one by one the reservation boundaries were obliterated and white men admitted to the areas which they had formerly en- closed. The movement has progressed with such rapidity in late yeers that 1t will be practically completed within the next decade. It involves an entire change in the status and coalition of the

a man of mental balance and equal to the competitive demands of civilization
 The happy results of these inter-mar- rlages have led to the belief and hope that the ultimate solution of the Indian problem lies In the gradual absorption of the red race fin the population of our Western States. There 1t is thought that they will figure prominently as lawyers and politicians on account of their In herited facility for diplomacy and logic.
 Thirty years ago we began to afford educational opportunities to the Indians, scantily at first but in recent years with such liberality as to raise opposition In Congress to the necessary appropriations. In general the older members of the tribes have been opposed to the attend
 ance of the children upon tho. white mems schools, but that opposition has gradually disappeared with the blanket and other peculiarities that at one time appeared to be inseparable from the redskin. It is questionable whether our efforts in the direction of education have been met with great success-and hence the reluctance on the part of many members of Congress to a continuation of the large expendt lures involved The system, under former commissioners of Indian Affairs, was de- signed to create scholars. Pupils were put through the ordinary school curriculum and learned great deal that was worse than useless to them. They returned to the tepees of their people with ideas of their own superiority that were not shared by their elders. who, finding the school acquired knowledge of no practical ac- count, reasonably considered the time wasted which might otherwise have been devoted to the acquisition of the useful arts and domestic training of their own people. Some small percentage of the educated boys and girls found places in American communities where they acquit- them could have been e ueefnelx en-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-07-07

While the average American is more than ever disposed to sheer at tho ways the Britisher employs to advertise him self and his wares and to seek the public confidence, yet stories of how the last London municipal fight was conducted for the London County Council (which corresponds to the city councils in Amer lean cities) show that the English vote seeker is not only a hustler, with big H. but is also very aggressive in seeking new ways of getting the confidence of the voting public. In the last city cleo ton In London the Moderates succeeded In changing the council from one over whelmingly Liberal to just the reverse proportion in favor of the Conservatives.
 To do this, immense posters were pla- carded all over London, In which the campaign arguments were shown up in glaring colors. This trick has never been duplicated in the United States. Of course, newspaper cartoons are used both in London and the United States. but no American politician has ever yet gone heavily into billboard campaign, with glaring colored posters. Then, the Lon don politicians save the voices of their oficeseekcrs by a constant use of the photograph, and thousands of campaign addresses were made to applauding crowds by the photograph worked by an snthuGasttn Rnnd AadaEA 4.

Stone see-saws that weigh tons and yet which can be moved up and down by the hand of a cniid arc not frequent but none the less nature has sprinkled over the earth a fair number of these marvels. Lands End, the queer tapering finish to the Island of Great Britain, has several famous rocking stones among which Is the one at Castle Treryn. This weighs ninety tons but the weight of mans finger will cause 1t to move up and down and children at the castle have lots of fun with this huge freak of nature. The Lennon Logan is another curious rocking stone on Lands End. This rock is as flat as a floor and is delicately poised on an- other huge fat stone The top stone weighs all of twenty tons but even a light breeze will start 1t to rocking. The biggest of all English rocking stones Is the one at Pendris Head In the Scilly Islands which must weigh 300 tons. This Is a perpendicular rocking stone and stands nicely balanced on the top of an- other huge rock which is buried In a hill side. It sways to and fro If a man leans against It's sides.
 These rocking stones which would be considered masterpieces of massive con- struction if built by mankind are merely another instance of the work of the frost, sun. wind and rain. These ever-active miners now and then during the course of centuries unearth a rock that is harder than the surrounding strata and can make but little impression on 1t. Inch by inch during the following centuries everything Ca tnA ha 1,na nf rock except where the stone's hardness protects its resting place. Then the ever patient elements smooth of the stone and 1t soon becomes a natural wonder that sways in every breese but resists the hand Of man or nature to dislodge from its resting spot
 In the Alps the Gargantua rocking stone Is famous in literature. This rock Is made of granite and was once buried deep tn the mountain side. It is situated today

or three times In the count of popula- ton Some writers, taking no account of the fuctuatlng nature of the popula ton, have noted every mention of Indians In old records and have accepted the total of the figures thus obtained as rep resenting the aggregate of population at one time. Thus we have estimates that run into many millions and are undoubt edly far beyond the mark At the other extreme is the statement of President Roosevelt that the Indians In the United States are today as numerous as they ever were in the same territory. One ex- aggeration is as easy of refutation as tho other, but 1t Is much more difficult to offer an estimate approximatng the truth. All things considered, however, one may venture the opinion that at the time of Captain Smiths arrival In Vr- gfnia the natives of the country known as North America numbered not less than two millions and probably more than that.
 Our early relations with the Indians were those of open enmity and constant conflict. The pioneers of our people used the rife with the same regularity as the axe, and forced the frontier forward against the armed opposition of the be- reditary owners of the land. Our troops battled with them and our diplomats treated with them until, at length. they agreed perforce to confinement within certain liberal boundaries mapped out in various parts of the country but mostly in the West. Then our grandfathers flat tered themselves that the Indian prob ia,, -aa, haA Hate orated perceptibly The unequal conflict had subdued his spirit and quelled the pride that plays an important part in the propagation of race. The use of fire water and the effects of a number of strange diseases produced physical fall ing of. It appeared to be more than probable that the aborigines would con tinue to diminish In numbers until the last of them should seek reunion with his brothers in the happy hunting grounds. But the Indian altogether failed to play his part in this program. He did not die off. He ceased to decrease and in fact now exhibits rather a tendency in the op- posite direction. This may be attributed In the main to the regular rations and liquor restrictions incident to life on the reservations.
 Many of the early frontiersmen married Indian women but in these cases the man commonly became a full-hedged member of his wifes tribe and In habit and mode of life an Indian. After the institution of the reservations, ''sQuaw men" became more numerous, whilst a much smaller proportion of them were adopted by the redskins. The half-breeds coming of sturdy stock on both sides, generally dis played physical vigor and more than ay- craze intellect. Many of them became prominent in frontier communities, as business and professional men. The white strain seems to furnish the practical qualities that are lacking in the aborfgi- nal character. The combination produces
