training schools, and in these Indian
children are learning to be good citi-
zens. From the councils of the blanket
Indians of the early 10th century to
the political council chamber Of the
United States Senate, where sit three
men of Indian blood-Curtis, of Kan
sas; Carter and Martin, of Oklahoma
seems a far cry; but a thousand years
are as day in the sight of the Lord,
and it seems but long day from then
to now. 1t has been gloomy night to
the Indian, but his day is surely dawn
ing. In the words of the Commission
er, Let us not make the mistake, in
the process of absorbing them, of wash
ing out of them whatever is distinctly
Indian. Our aboriginal brother brings,
as his contribution to the common store
of character, a great deal which is ad-
mirable, and which needs only to be
developed along the right line. Our
proper work with him is improvement,
not transformation"
ISABEL WORRELL-BALL.

and moral traits as well. The contrast
for instance, between the negro, with
his plant fancy, his cheerful spirit
under adversely, his emotional demon
strativeness, his natural impulse to
obedience, and his initiative tendency,
and the Indian, with his intense pride
of race, his reserved habit, his cumula-
tive sense of wrong, and his scorn for
the antipatriarchial ways of the mod
ern world, is as marked as that be-
tween shadow and sunshine. Scarcely
less plain is the line-not the line of
civilization and convention, but the
line of nature-between the Indian and
the white man. What good end shall
we serve by trying to blot out these
distinctions? How is either party to
benefit by the deliberations? When we
have done our best artificially to turn
the Indian into a white man we have
simply made nondescript of him.
Looking among our own companions
in life, whom do we more sincerely
respect-the person who has made the
most of what nature gave him, or the
person who is always trying to be
something other than he is? Was there
ever a man with heaven-bOrn genius
for mechanics who did his best posi-
BILE work in the world by trying to
practice law or to preach2 However
fairly he may have succeeded, by sheer
force of will, in compelling courts and
congregations to listen TO him, could
he not have done a greater service to
his own generation and to posterity by
addressing all his energies to the So
luton of some great problem in engi-
neerin2? Was there ever woman who
had the divine gift of home making,
and whose natural forte was to stimu-
late a husband and train a family of
children to lives of usefulness, yet who
contributed a larger share of happiness
to mankind by becoming a social agi-
tator? These are everyday illustrations
in point. Anyone can call to mind a
dozen instances within his own ex-
perience, some pitiful and some anus
ing, which tend to the same conclu-
sions.
Now, how are we to apply this
philosophy TO the case of the Indian? !?
The National tribune., 1908-01-23

the Indian loafers. The real place to
find the real Indian is far out on the
reservation in the wilder country, where
the white man has not gone with his
civilized vices. There, he says, one
may find the Indian of fine physique,
a model of hospitality, kind parent,
a genial companion. a stanch friend
and faithful pledge keeper.
A Man of Normal Appetites.
Commissioner Leupp does not wish
to have it understood that he is paint
ing the Indian as perfect in character,
for he isn't. He finus him a man of
normal appetites for his particular en-
vironment, and these correspond very
favorably with conditions as found
about the white man, in his opinion.
The Indian is hospitable, but he ex-
poets hospitality in return. He is cour-
ageous. but he knows no mercy in bat
tie, and his enemies must beware of
his cruelty. The Commissioner sees in
these pugnacious traits something which
can be trained into true chivalry-the
very qualities, in fact, which, turned
toward some better mplishment
than bloodshed, would compel success.
1t is our part, then, he believes, to not
destroy them, but direct them Alright.
AS a people or race, Commissioner
Leupp believes the Indians to be nat
ural warriors, natural logiciaps, nat
ural artists natural musicians and with
strong inclnatiOns toward politics, and
they are born diplomats. He thinks
that as artists they will always excel.
He regrets that so little effort has been
made to preserve their music that much
of it is now lost to the world, and great
musicians have said that the music of
the Indian and the negro is a thing to
itself, of no school, romantic, full of
weird melody and difficult of produc-
ton by white people. 1t is the abor-
iginal music. if you please, and should
be among the musical classics. The
Commissioner dwells upon some of the
conditions which met him when he
came into his office with many express
sions of regret. He found it among
the iron-bound rules that children in
Indian schools must not speak word

Twice Married for Love.

The golden wedding of Comrade W.
H Perry and wife was celebrated by
Candy Post, G. A. r., of Hood River,
Ore, on Oct. ~. The anniversary cere-
moEy was performed by the Rev. ]. w.
Rigby, after which the happy couple
received the congratulations of their
friends. After a delicious dinner the
party adjourned to the hall, where the
bride was presented with a beautiful
gold-mOunted silk umbrella and a set
of spoons. The groom in the meanwhile
had been sentenced to court-martial on
the charge of having lived at peace
with his wife for SO years, thereby
cheating the lawyers out of business,
and the penalty of being publicly caned
was imposed upon him. A beautiful
gold-headed cane was then handed to
him. COmrade Perry served in the
30th KY. his brothers going into the

of the Indian tongues; they must not
sing a note of Indian music; they must
not speak of Indian history, and for
infractions of these rules there were
punishments, and it was a misdemean-
or for teachers to talk to them about
their tribe or anything connected with
their home life; they were to be taught
to forget homes, parents, that they were
Indians. They were not to make their
Indian toys. and they were not permit

Reviving Indian Ideas.
1t was a condition, and not theory;
but 1t was theory-run mad, just the
same, in the opinion of the Commits
sioner. 1t took him just long enough
to get his revocation of the order named
to return to sane, rational methods of
dealing with Indian children. He con-
sidered II essential to the real history
of the country that every scrap of his
tory that could be preserved be picked
up from the traditions these children

Are we to let him alone? BY no means.
We do not let the soil in our gardens
alone because we can not turn clay
into sand: we simply sow melon seed
in the one and plant plul.i trees in the
other. II does not follow that we must
metamorphose whatever we wish to
improve. Our aim should be to get out
of everything the best it is capable of
producing, and in improving the pro-
duct il is no part of our duty to de-
stroy the source. What would be
thought of a horticulturist who should
uproor a tree which offers first-rate
sturdy stock simply because its natural
fruit is not of the highest excellence? :?
A graft here and there will correct
this shortcoming. while the strength
of the parent trunk will make the i'm
proved product all the finer, besides in
suring longer period of bearing. We
see this analogy well carried out in the
case of an aboriginal race which pos
sesses vigorous traits OF character at
the start. Nothing is gained by try
ing to undo natures work and do it
over. but grand results are possible II

| ln,o his hands. This is no more racial
| than his tendency 10 eat and drink
to excess or to prefer pleasure to work;
| it is simply the assertion of a primi-
| tive instinct common to all mankind
in the lower stages of social develop
ment. What we call thrift is nothing
but the forecasting sense which recog-
nizeS the probability of tomorrow;
the idea of a tomorrow is the Doun-
dary between barbarisIn and civiliZa
ton, and the only way in which the
Indian can be carried across the line
is by letting him learn by experience
that his stomach filled to-day will go
empty tomorrow unless something of
to-day's surplus is saved overnight to
meet to-morrow's deficit" The Com
missioner also declares that the Indian
must be taught values by handling the
dollars themselves; that they can never
learn values from columns of figures,
and that he must actually spend, yes,
even squander, some of his dollars be-
fore ne learns their worth to satisfy
his needs.
Perhaps in merging this hardly
used race into our body polite says
the Commissioner, many individuals,
unable to keep up the pace, may fall
by the wayside and be trodden under
foot. Deeply as we deplore this possi-
DlutS, we must not let IL DlilQ us 10

is one of the cruel incidents of all civil
liZation in large masses that some, per-
haps a multitude, of its subjects will
be lost in the process. But the un-
seen hand which has helped the white
man thru his evolutionary stages to the
present will. / trust, be held out to
the red pilgrim in his stumbling prog
resS over the same rough path
Making the Indian Over.
Another error which the Commits
sioner has touched upon before is the
one into which many good people fall,
taking it for granted that to educate
the Indian their first duty is to make
him over into something else. IF Ma
ture has set different physical stamp
upon different races of men," says the
Commissioner, sit is fair to assume that
the variation of types extends below
the surface and is manifested in mental
