A TRIBE OF GOOD INDIANS

The cash in Southeastern Utah be-
tween United States troops and Ma
vajo Indians, OF whom three were
killed and eleven captured, was only
police incident Although the tribe
numbers $4,000. serious trouble with
the Navajos is but of the question
They are scattered for more than one
hundred miles north and south and
east and west, IN small family groups
ON and near their reservation in New
Mexico, Arizona and Utah, and moth
ing resembling a general tribal organ
izataon exists among them.
Bsorderinng the reservation on the
north IS mountainous region which
for years has been the refuge of a
small band of renegade Utes and Ma
vaios. The Government has usually
found it the easiest way to let them
alone, and the few cattlemen and
Mormon settlers have got along as
best they could. Bylillie's band, OF
which Capt Williard's troopers dis
posed, included apparently some OF
these outlaws.
In the main the Navajos are easy
going, welI-behaved Indians The
Government has undertaken to con
fine them to desert reservation
which affords the scantiest grazing
for their sheep and ponies. Wherever
~,
grow small patches of corn and
squash. With far chance they Would
probably make as good farmers as
the average small Mexican landhold-
er IN the Territories.
As it is, they have received neither
rations nor money from the Govern
ment, as their neighbors, the South
ern Utes, SO long Ord. They have had
TO support themselves from their
flocks, which furnish them with food
and wool for sale The women are
famous for their skill in weaving
blankets, an art which they learned
from the Mexicans Such vices as
they have the Navajos have acquired
chiefly by association with the whites
and those that live remote from civil
lization are free from drunkenness
and immortality
No tribe Uf Indians has received
fewer favors from the Governmen
and none deserves better During
the forty-three years since Kit Car
son put a stop to their raids ON the
settlements along the Rio Grande
by waping out a large band in their
stronghold in Canyon de Chiefly, the
Navajos, considering their 'opportrn-
tiles have lived in comparative quiet
That is probably the main cause for

THE WORLDS COMMERCE

The recent financial furry has inn
pressed the fact that the prosperity
of the several civilized nations is
indissolubly interviewer. Without
market for Our surplus produce, un-
able as we are to consume il our
selves, there would be a slump in
prices producing hard times which
would last until the supply covered
the demand and more.
The United States is in the posi-
ton of merchant who has the goods
on sale. Such merchant tries to at
tract and please his customers, and
TO cater TO their wants and tastes. As
soon as such a merchant changes
that policy on the ground of indie
pendence, he will see his stock rot
upon the shelves, and he may safely
forsee the time when his name will
appear in bankruptcy.
The development of our resources
and the increase in our population
render the home trade by far the
most profitable, but producers and
manufacturers commit a great wrong
toward themselves and the country, If
they neglect foreign markets. Per
od;cally there comes a time when,
with most factories running overtime
to fill orders, the same break-neck
speed is maintained after the demand
begins to slacken, and the result is
that the supply exceeds the demand
In such cases Great Britain and Ger
many are able to dispose of this sur
plus abroad, because during the. time
of prosperity they have taken anxious
care to fill foreign orders. The Amer
+ lean manufacturer has not yet learn
ed. to do likewise.
Ten years aog in 1907, eastern
manufacturers moved heaven and
earth to find a market Tor their goods
in Japan and China. The writer, in
/ 1893, met SO American drummers on
the little steamer Esmeralda plying
between Hong Kong and Manila.

time at the expense of his employers,

Valley alone embraces a population

turers secured a footffold when the
good times caused neglect OF orders.
! 1t will take ten years or more to re
gain the good will OF those buyers.
A N. Ellis, long in the employ of
! the Arnsours of Kansas City, decided
to branch ont for himself AS the
