OF this money in a bank would be the
same as admitting its endorsement
and inviting criminal prosecution. and
so the practice was pursued Of deposit
ing the money in banks or loaning It
out without public record and secretly
embezzling the Interest income.
When Treasurer Mortensen openly
announced the deposit OF the school
funds and began crediting back the in
terest, as every strictly honest man
would do, the talk about prosecuting
him for technical embezzlement died
out at once, and the very suggestion
now would be secuted as part of a
deep laid plot to .resurrect the dis
carded custom Of treasury farming for
personal profit.
Without anticipating the policy of
the new treasurer, It is none the less
satisfactory to note that his first

the need OF measures Of special severity to

50 easy to conceal and carry about and its
effect upon the nervous system so prompt
and potent that it's use seems to have come
about as a handy substitute for alcohol,
warranted TO make the drunk come"
quicker than the strongest tanglefoot

on an element OF the population in various
cities and as it's use spreads II leaves a
trail OF insanity and death. The increase
Of insanity among the colored population
is already very marked and this new vice
will augment the influences that are al

PASSING on rHE INDIAN IsA WARD.

.
PASSING or THE IEDHE <sA WARD.
Congress has practically decided to
treat the Indian no longer as a ward.
With a mistaken impression that the
Indian Of Oklahoma, Indian Territory
and some OF the northwestern states
we're still wearing blankets and living
in wigwams, the authorities at Wash
ington have gone on year after year
spending money belonging TO the In
dian for experiments with theoretical
ideas Of bringing the red man to an
appreciation of the white mans meth
DDS. A subcommittee OF the senate,
after a visit to Oklahoma and the In
dian Territory. has secured an amend
ment to the Indian appropriation bill
conforming to the real status of the
Indian Of today. The indians there
are to be given their lands in. allot7
ments and allowed to disposeSof them
as they please. with the exception OF a
forty-aore homestead, which cannot be
slienated for twenty-five years.
The necessity OF such an amend
ment is shown by the peculiar condi-
tons existing in the Indian Territory.
with an area about equal to that of
Indiana and a population approximat-
ing 500, 900, the Indian population of
the territory is less than $4,000, OF
which less than 1900 are what is
known as blanket Indians" Yet
4OO, 900 white people are to be found
located in the territory. without the
privilege of buying or owning lands,
without schools, without roads. with
out asylums or any of the necessities
of civilization except such as they have
been able to secure through the suffer
ance of the Indians. Those familiar
with the situation have marveled for
years that the Indian Territory, by
reason of the opportunity for conflict.
has not been one rule of riot.
Nearly all the Indians of the terri
tory are educated as we'll as the aver
age resident OF the frontier districts.
They dress we'll, conduct business en-
terprises successfully and hold their
own with the white men in every re-
spect. They have long felt their quail
hcations for caring for their own for
tunes, a responsibility the government
now promises to place upon them. The
new law will remove restrictions that
have long served to hamper the devel'
opment of one of the most promising
sections of the southwest. II the In
dian of Indian Territory has the right
stuff in him he will prosper along with
the white man-if not, he VIII soon be
crowded out altogether.

FOLLOWING THE RIGHT PRECEDENT.
The first monthly financial state
ment made by State Treasurer Brian
shows that Nebraska's new treasurer
is following the right precedent.
The exhibit gives the amount OF
money constituting the balance In each
state fund at the beginning and like
wise at the end OF the month, includ-
ing the various trust funds. such as
the permanent school fund and the
permanent university fund, and also
the place Of deposit and araohnt OF
bank balances. which foot up to a
penny with abe total money on hand.
This means that Treasurer Brian, fol-
lowing the example OF former Treas
nrer Mortensen. proposes TO account
for the trust funds the same as for
the current funds and to turn into
the treasury the interest earned on all
moneys in his custody. without again
raising the qnibble about the trust
funds being exempt from the provi-
sions Of the depository law.
Looking back to, the time before
Treasurer Mortensen introduced this
rule. Il is amazing 10 recall how sue

! TRAIN LoAD AND sHIp LoAD.


The same principle that has caused
the increase of the train load has also
been revolutionizing the steamship
load. Within the few years during
which the average train load has risen
from less than 200 tons to over 400
tons the steamship load has fars more
than doubled, and astonishing further
increases are now being made.
The new steamship Europa, for the
Hamburg American line. will be 100
feet long, 80 feet beam, $4,000 tons
displacement and equipped to carry
400 passengers. There are already
built or building a large number of
ships as big as the Europa. Ocean
transit is certainly matching railroad
feats when a single liner now can
carry in its cabins the equivalent of a
half dozen great national conventions
or the whole population of a good
sized city, and in its hold several hun
dred big train loads of freight.
Yet these enormous engagements
of the loads of train or a ship mate
rally reduce the actual cost of carry
ing passenger or a ton of freight.
and the present scale, incredible as 1t
would have seemed only a few years
ago, is known to be still far below the
possible maximum.

that more political credit is to be gained

devotion to purely legislative duties. II Is

unreadiness of the average congressman

REDUCED MAIL CARRYING ALLOWANCE
The estimated reduction of $4,000
900 in the compensation to railroads
for carrying the mails in the postal
appropriation as it will be introduced
in the house Is long-delayed step in
the right direction, and has a very i'm
portant bearing on the question of
postage rates, II has long been known
that the excessive allowances to the
carrier companies more than &C
counted for the large annual deficits of
the departments. These deficits have
been the basis of efforts to impose
higher postage rates on second-class
mail, on newspapers and periodicals,
on the ground that cent pound is
not compensatory for the service,
which is mainly transportation.
Cogent proofs are abundant that
the second-class rate is actually re-
munerative so far as legitimate news
papers are concerned, considered
purely as freight, and saying nothing
of the enormously stimulating effect
of their circulation upon. the volume
at the highest postage rate. The in
dubitable fact is that the roads actu-
ally favor express companies far more
than the government on matter SINH
lar to newspaper mall The express
companies carry a large amount of
newspaper matter considerably below
l cent a pound in competition with
the postal department wherever It can
be delivered In time. II is a further
fact that not a little newspaper weight
ia carried by railroads direct at q
quarter of cent pound. None OF
this newspaper bulk handled by rail
roads and express companies without
ever getting into the malls at all IL

THE STEEL CoMBNE's EARNtNes.


The net earnings of the United
States Steel corporation for the year
1906 reached the stupendous sum of,
1856, 9,111-almost as much as the
total net cash in the United States
treasury, less reserve fund, the first
of the year; nearly s2O,OO0,O00 more
than the total pensions of the United
States in 1906; nearly as much as the
total gold in the Bank of England, and
almost exactly equivalent to the total
value of iron and steel exported from
the United States last year. And after
setting aside immense sums for main
tenance and enlargement of plant,
sinking fund, etc., the giant combine
actually paid a remunerative average
return on its billion and half capital
ization, fully half Of which is believed
to. have been water. at the time of or
ganization
Nor does the annual report given
out at the directors meeting Wednes-
day indicate any less extraordinary re-
suits during the present year. Plant ad-
ditions during the last year will mate
rally increase the output, and this for
the most part has already been en-
gagged for the first three quarters. The
operations of the United States COM
pany, too, have been duplicated by the
independent companies. some Of which
are immense concerns, according to
their several capacities.
The steel and iron trade is Justly
accepted as one of the most accurate
opponents of universal business, ,ris-
ing and falling with its fluctuations.
The scope of the United States COM
bine is so comprehensive that its expe-
rience during the year and its present
outlook must be taken as a reflex of
pervading Industrial conditions.
