Proposes Unipue Home
To Educate Indians

Special TO The Express
Washington, Dec 19.-The pro.
posed home for Indians in Oklahoma,
provided in a memorial TO congress
by Richard G. Adams. Delaware
Indian well known in Washington and
Oklahoma, is a remarkable document,
Il proposes = complete reversal OF the
system OF education OF Indians. Tn.
der this plan II is proposed TO edu-
cate the Indians backwards. Not in
a sense OF acquired learning, but in
its application. Ever since the days
that the Catholics built their missions
in oklahoma, and the Baptist and
Presbyterians sent their missionaries
there, the end of education has been
to make the Indians mind work like
that Of the white man. Now Il is pro-
posed TO establish a home and a
school where the Indians minds and
hands shall be taught again the an
cient cunning OF their ancestors in
all lines OF endeavor, and their meth
DDS, habits and customs as well. This
would be unique experiment in
modern civilization. and the results
would perhaps Justify the means.
The memorial not only asks for a
million dollar appropriation with
which to build and establish the home.
but Two hundred thousand dollars an.
nually for lis support for twenty-five
years or until such time as It may
become self-supporting by reason Of
endowments which il is entitled to
accept
The memorial suggests that two
full sections Of land would be pur-
chased on which to build the home
Buildings that will accommodate a
thousand Indians for homes and
school chapels. wigwams. medicine
fires. stump dances, brush arbors, if
they so desire And they are not to
be interfered with in their manner Of
living. their habits and customs in
any way, so long as they do not run
counter to any state OF federal law.
It Is set forth that there are many
Indians in Oklahoma who have s1fsi-
cient property TO furnish them an in
come that wiz hesp then the remain
der Of their lives. and that if they
were gathered together in a home
OF this character, they would leave
TO their posierity a good inheritance.
yet maintain themselves comfortably
al their lives by their own efforts
within such an institution. There
fore it appears that 1t is no part of
the plan 10 provide a home for the in
digent Indians. but rather the aris-
tocratic and wealthy classes who bet
ter trained minds would naturally
turn 10 those things that would better
perpetuate the history, literature and
art Of Indian origin.
The basis for the request to the
government for this appropriation lies
in the alleged fact that the govern.
ment still owes to the Indians'a great
moral obligation which it has not and
cannot fulfill.
One Of the tests Of eligibility to this
proposed home is the quantity Of In.
dian blood the applicant possesses.
It is to be presided over by a board
of regents, majority Of whom shall
be Of Indian blood, and preferably.
one representing each Of the five civil
lized tribes. The home shall not in
any way be sectarian.

Socialists MandamuS State.

Mandamus proceedings
were begun before the state supreme
court Monday by Judge Charles A.
Riddle, of Seattle, against Samuel II.
Nichols, secretary of state, to COM
pei him to- place the nominees Of the
Socialist party ticket on the official
ballot without fee. The purpose Of
the party in appealing directly to the
supreme court on a summary pro-
ceeding is to obtain a decision on the
question at the earliest possible date,
and in the highest tribunal OF the
state. Socialists claim that IL they
paid this fee in all cases in the state
the expense would be over $4,000.
After the nominations, which the
Socialists conducted last week among
themselves, on The same day as the
primaries, Secretary of State Nichols
was given a list Of the names Of the
nominees with the request that he
give them their proper place on the
ballot to be voted in November. The
application was not accompanied by
the required fec, and when the So
cialists refused to pay it he declined
to comply with their request.

grocery store, Saturday evening. In
the store purchasing goods were two
women and the groceryman was
holding his baby in his arms. The
demand on the grocer was backed
up by revolver. and Adams put
down the baby, who toddled about
the store while the father trembling
ly emptied the till and his pockets.
Meanwhile the other thug terrified
the women, but their terror was not
the sort that ties the tongue.

yourself" said one woman to the
holdup. She had picked up banana

GOOD ROAD SUGGESTION.
Why County Fairs Offer Good Open
ings For Starting Reform.

ings For Starting Reform.
One of the most practical sugges-
tons yet offered for the creation Of
sentiment for good roads is that put
forward as follows in the Metropoli-
tan Magazine:
1.-The county fair offers a peculiarly
good opening for starting reform.
Here are gathered the brain and sinew
of the community-intent, it is true, on
diversion and recreation, but equally
alive to the material benefits to be de-.
rived from the numerous meetings
where free interchange of ideas is
insured. Secure some good speakers;
make it known by circular or through
the columns of the county and town
papers that the good roads problem at
the next county fair is to be discussed
by local talent and by men trained in
the actual field work Of this impOr-
tant business. There will be no diff
Guilty in securing interested audiences,
and it will be the exception if results
are not manifested either in the
change of feeling or in the organiza-
ton of a reform movement. Meetings
of boards Of trade, oranges, both state
and local; educational conventions,
chambers Of commerce and such func-
tons are also good starting points for
effective work in the good roads move
ment."
Public spirited thinkers whose
minds can transcend the needs of the
immediate present, says the Atlanta
Constitution, are impressed with the
wisdom Of pushing the propaganda
for good roads side by side with that
for better transportation facilities by
rail or water.
What will it avail to double track
trunk systems and construct more in
dividual lines and deepen navigable
rivers If we make access to them
along the country roads difficult. slow
and expensive?
The county fair is an established
institution in Georgia in as great a
degree as the other popular meetings
to which reference is made in the
foregoing excerpt.
II the Importance Of good roads is
made topic of discussion at such
gatherings and at such state wide as
semblages as that comprised in the
Atlanta interstate fair the substan-
tial progress legitimately expected
hardly lends itself to computation.
