INDIANS RIGHTS

~ RADUALLY the government is re-
eT alizing that the original propri-
VI etors of North America have
perhaps a few rights in the land of
their fathers. They have been ruth
lessly evicted from most of their an
cestral domains. To pass resolutions
denouncing landlordism, alien landlord
tyranny and evictions in Ireland and
dispossession of Skye and West High
land crofters in Scotland while the
stronger landlordism is evicting the
prior right landlordism in the United
States is a farce. Conditions in Ire
land and the United States are alike.
An alien race seized the lands of the
original occupants. treated them as
tenants or wards and kicked them out
of their holdings whenever the spirit
of greed moved them to that injustice.
1t is all very we'll to talk about the
mote in the English brothers eye, and
most undoubtedly 1t is there; but we
have a horrifyingly large beam in our
would be heard about the beam If the
mass of the American people had not
been deceived about the Indian ques-
ton. The executive committee of the
Indian Rights association in a report
made recently said "Your associa-
ton, which has for so many years
watched with so keen an interest the
rights and the welfare of the Indian
races, knows we'll certain dangerous
tendencies toward SURPRISING
FACTS and resenting inquiries into
official matters which call continually
for supervision, investigation and
kindly criticism on the part of public
spirited citizens who mean to stand
for righteousness and justice In admin
istration." The expression kindly
criticism" is amusing. Handle with
gloves! Deal gently with the erring.
for if they have erred to any scandal
lous extent it will be another blow to
the Republican party. In the spirit of
the suggestion that kindness should
mark treatment of this question, let us
attack it most politely, most politely!
With our best bow we say, &c. o. p,
our little brother, the Indian. You have
taken away his land on false pretenses.
You have broken up his housekeeping.
You have assimilated him benevolent
ly.' You have arranged his family af-
fairs for him. You have stood toward
him in the relation of Fate. You
have been the arbiter of his destinies.
To you was intrusted the task of CIV
ing him square deal. You have had
long lease of power and plenty of
time and opportunity. Why haven't
you made good? And why try to sup
press the facts? That you cannot do
permanently. Murder will OUT"

of liquid stimulants to the imagination
will surround the victim with animals
even more eccentric than purple kline
and red horses with purple wings. But
the trouble about excessive magma
ton is it is rarely profitable. After
ones imagination has been developed
to such robust proportions that 1t
evolves parti-colored menageries with
as much ease as a beginner produces
variegated cows and bizarre horses,
what must be done with the manufac-
tured product? 1t must be embarrass-
ing to be imaginatively developed to
such a pitch that one may only think in
terms of purple cows and red horses
with purple wings. We would be in
clined to doubt the wisdom OF promot-
ing this kind OF imaginativeness. The
STATS of the yellow journals would not
be able to contain all the star reporters
and descriptive writer's who would be
eligible fer positions, and the Independ-
ence league would go broke in liqut-
dating the imaginativeness of its press
agents and pamphleteers. The physi-
clan who recommends a rainbow 20
ology as a help to the imagination must
be in league with the keeper of house
devoted to the restraint of ladies and
gentlemen whose imaginations have
run away with them.

MUNICIPAL MILK SUPPLY
REDUCES INFANT MORTALITY

LOS ANGELES, May 9.-[Editor
Herald: There Is a mass Of evidence
available in support of the muncipali-
cation of the milk supply that ought to
be collected and published from time
to time in the press-that part of the
press, I mean, which still makes any
effort to subserve the peoples inter-
ests. The figures on infant mortality
alone, before and after municipaliza-
ton of milk in certain parts of the
world where the experiment has been
tried, are quite startling. There is a
district in London lis it Battlesea?
am not sure) where multiplication
of milk has had the effect of reducing
the child mortality during the first
year by more than half l have for
gotten the exact figures, but the broad
fact stands in my mind as an accusing
pointer to the Grass carelessness of
the rest of the world in neglecting
the lesson.
1 do not know that municipal ice has
ever been tried, though it has been
mooted many times. What it might
mean in health and comfort to the
crowded residents of the poorer quar-
ters of all the great cities, in the height
of summer, to have a regular If but
small supply of ice at a price within
their means may be easily imagined.

ENCOURAGING

TITS a hopeful sign Of the times that
the senate should have passed
4 the anti-child labor bill for the
District OF Columbia. BY the provis-
ions of this measure the employment
within certain hours of children under
IA years of age is prohibited. Infants
are now protected from the chance of
being hired in the District of Column
bia by factories, workshops, telegraph
offices, restaurants. hotels. apartment
houses. saloons, pool or billiard rooms,
bowling alleys, or for the transporta-
ton or distribution or transmission OF
merchandise or messages. No child is
permitted to work at any employment
for wages during school hours nor be-
fore 6 a. m. nor after p. m. Visitors
to washington have frequently made
comments on the fact that boys who
should have been at school were en-
ployed as pages to wait on the nations
lawmakers This class as we'll as that
of the ordinary messenger boy is
included in the prohibition OF mes
sage CARRYING. The prohibition Of
child labor in the District of Columbia
will have a healthy effect on the rest
of the nation. Any infraction of it in
congress or anywhere else in Washing
ton would promptly be reported to all
the rest of the country. With child
labor law in operation at the national
capital the various states will appre-
ciate the fact that the employment of
immature labor is national question.
1t is of vital Importance that it should
be discontinued in every part OF the
country. There are two million chill
dren now at work who should be at
school. If they should return to their
studies their places would have to be
filled by adults. We do not believe
more than two children should be
reckoned as fair equivalent in
amount of work performed for one
full grown person. AS rule two smart
boys will do the unskilled labor of
man. If the two million children now
employed in gainful occupations are
sent back to school and full grown men
and women hired to take their places,
employment at living wages will
be provided for one million adults.
From this consideration alone.
narrow though it may be when
compared with the broader one
of children's rights. the working people
of the United States should demand
the abolition of child labor in every
part of North America and the Pa
cific over which floats the flag of the

GOOD ROADS

MO CITIZEN will begrudge liberal
" expenditures for good roads. Tho
~ report of the Los Angeles county
highway commission is almost ready to
be submitted to the board of super
visors 1t calls for an expenditure of
SO, 900 900, every dollar of which will be
we'll invested if it goes into the roads,
and plans and purposes connected with
the roads, and fortunately there is not
any reason to doubt there will be fair
and honest expenditure of this large
sum. The improvement in valuations
when the roads have been completed
will be incalculable. The word is used
advisedly. Only rash prophet would
try to foretell the possibilities of i'm
provement and increase in value which
will follow the establishment and
maintenance OF system of good roads.
The first civilized nation to appre-
ciate the value Of roads was Rome,
from which much of our civilization is
inherited. Even as modern colonizing
nations know the surest way to develop
and hold a country is to build n rail-
mans knew that the best way to hold
the lands they annexed was to open
up highways. The Romans were the
best road builders of all the ages.
Many of their roads are still in daily
use, and perhaps will be in use when
railways have been superseded by an
other form of passenger transportation.
The highways we build will be perma-
nent.
Railways are and always will be the
greatest carriers. For freighting they
cannot be beaten. 1t would be a most
ingenious and indeed unimaginable
aerial device which would take the
place of train of freight cars, packed
and loaded, But passengers are be-
ginning to show preference for high
ways when the distances to be trav-
eled are not too great; that is to say,
when an ordinary automobile run Will
cover the intended journey. The re-
vival of the Importance of highways
conveys it's own lesson. 1t is not good
policy to say anything under the sun
is "out OF date" The flight of time
may bring it back into date again.
