THE PASSING or poor 10.

When statehood came. that was to
mark the beginning Of the end for the In
dian, and many we're the "weeps" that
were weeped over the passing Of Poor
10 by silly sentimentalisrs who are as
full Of ignorance as they are gush. The
Indian didn't pass--not SO you could notice
it--any further than the pie counter
where he helped himself 10 some Of the
best Offices in the state and as many Of
the minor ones as he wanted. And Il
may be mentioned in passing that he is
making good Now. with the removal Of
restrictions, again goes up the silly cry Of
the vanishing Of the Indian and his finaI
exsinction Such rot Of course, reaeives
no attention from those who know. but
the outside world looks upon all Indians as
a be-feathered, blanket specimen Of pri m
ative America who should be preserved
just like the buffalo Or other early inhab-
isants. It causes a wall Of woe to 90 up
that would touch The heart Of stone god
and columns Of sIush to be printed that
brings a blush Of shame to the cheeks Of
Poor Lo' for the dense ignorance Of the
cultured and civilized East.
Let the Indian alone; curb your sympa-
thy. or keep it At home where probably it
is more needed The Indian is citizen
Of one Of the greatest commonwealth IN
Gee Union, and Is the peer Of any citizen
of any state. Since the removal Of re-
strictions he is man and the architect Of
his own fortune. He asks neither favors,
privileges or sympathy but win solve the
problems Of the nnw conditions that con-
front him in a manner that will forever
put at rest the silly rot Of eastern senti-
mentalists and the Cry Of Incompetence
howled by the government clerk afraid Of
his iob-Arow

There is considerable discussion 60
ing on in some Of the eastern states
as to whether it is wise to employ all
the teachers Of a town from the train
Ing school of the place. That thia
would tend to narrow the scope Of the
schools and put them into rut seems
to be the opinion Of those opposed
while another element thinks that
town with training school should
provide for its young women IN its
schools and should thus provide the
schools with trained teachers.
