THE INDIAN SCHOOL IS
8 ASSURED FOR STATE USE

There is no longer any doubt
regarding the Indian School
property in Grand junction be-
ing turned over 10 the state Tor
educational purposes, ny the ma
tionaI government. Ii the ieSi>-
lature meets certain require
ments.
Ii WAS announced in Denver
yesterday that United States
Commissioners Lcupp has written
to Governor Buchtel that the
Indian School ut Grand junction
and Fort Lewis, near Durango,
will probably be abandoned i'll
the near future and that these
valuable properties may be given
to the state of Colorado provid-
ing the state makes use of them
for educational institutions of
certain character.
Governor Buchtel has correspond
ed with the board of trade at Grand
junction and at Durango and he has
reported favorably to Commissioner
Leupp on The attitude of these bodies
towards the proposition which Will
probably be used by the government.
1t is expected before the Seventeenth
General assembly convenes that the
CORRESPONDENCE Will
Leupp will have brought the matter
to a concrete basis for presentation
before tn, Legislature.
At Grand junction the government
property consists of many good build
ings, probably 20. and 160 acres of
land. The property is only one mile
from Grand Junction. At Fort Lewis.
eight miles from Durango, there are
a dozen good buildings and 6,00O
acres of land. A part of this land is
underlaid with coal. In event all OF
the land is turned over to the state.
an educational institution can be
maintained without extra appropria-
ton.
Durango people have asked for the
establish ment of a training school in
mechanics. arts, domestic science and
agriculture. Governor Buchtel is in
favor of the training school and also
for the establishing of normal
school at Durango. II the govern
ment takes the action expected Du-
range will probably be given a fully
equipped institution. 1t is under
stood that Grand Junction citizens
have several programmes mapped out
for the institution there if it is ac-
quired by the state.

Gov. Vardaman's Farewell.

Much may be forgiven Gov.
Vardaman, of Mississippi, after
the really great state paper he sub
mits as his last message to the
Legislature. The Chattanooga
Times has had occasion to criticise
Gov. Vardaman's official conduct
and political opinions on more
than one occasion. but it has al
ways recognized him as a man of
brains and of-considerable person
al courage physically and men
tally; and We have expressed the
belief, in which we are confirmed
by this parting message, that he
is to be heard from in the coun-
ellis of his party hereafter. He
was young when be entered the
Governors Office and his views
and opinions we're more or less
.youngish and undigested. As he
ripens with age, having pretty
fair ground work, reasonably
healthy mind, and being patriot
icalIy devoted to the first pri1ci-
pies of Democracy and the welfare
of the people, he is promising
figure IN our Southern public life.
Chattanooga Times.
This tribute from the Times is
entirely within the limits of truth
and fairness. Yet, while meaning
no disparagement, the Herald
taxes pleasure in saying that it
does not reflect so much credit on
the official as the acts, the sum
total, of bis administration dues.
That lie has committed errors, of
a minor quality, is freely conced-
ed. But bis aims and motives,

tration that has borne good fruit

pleasure. Long may he wave. :"
1t is our earnest hope that he
may pass far beyond the IS year
mile post, with all his youth and
vigor.
Doubtless the circumstances re-
lated is familiar to majority of
the older citizens of Mississippi,
but the younger men know
nothing of it. We regret that not
more memories of the older citi-
zens are being reduced to paper.
Soon the veterans who stood with
their faces to the enemy on the
field of shot and she'll, only to re-
turn to their desolated homes to
battle for their political safety,
will be.passing from us, cheated
of the reverence that is their due.

A Stirring Historical Fact.

A writer in the Aberdeen Ex-
aminer makes reference to an in
cident tina t took place in Jackson
at an hour when the safety of our
Southern firesides was at stake,
when the mothers of the present
generation were waiting at their
homes in fear Of a legislature COM
posed of negroes and renegade
Republicans from the North. Says
the historian:
The people OF the state are to
be congratulated upon the election
of this distinguished. gentleman to
the exalted and responsible posi-
tion of speaker of the house, on
his 18th birthday.
Colonel Street, as we know him,
is a Confederate Veteran, and Mis-
sissippi cannot boast more gal
liant and worthy son. We have
not the time and space here to en-
ter upon bis war record. Suffice
it that it was a splendid one.
This gentleman is a noted par
humanitarian and has filled this
important position more than
once. In addition to all this, he
is a safe, sane and sound legislator
and-knows as much of the history
of the legislation of the state as
any man in if because he has been
a member of that body.
Again, in the darkest days of
Reconstruction, he was the leader
of the hand full Of Democrats who
represented us in those DAYS.
Upon a memorable occasion, when
it seemed that the darkest hour
was upon us, biIlhad been in
troduced to arm so many militia
men in the state. If recoIIact cor.
rectly, twas called the Military
Bill. II had passed the house oa
two readings and was upon It's
third and last reading. The pas
sage of the bill seemed inevitable,
further tactical resistance seemed
hopeless. In this condition o1
things, Col. Street walked up te
the speakers stand and asked the
clerk of the house to hand him The
bill. The clerk did sd. He tber
turned, the bill III bis hand, walk,
ed down the aisle. to the middle 0i
the floor, and ID the midst Of !
bowling mob, he tore the bill into
shreds and stamped his foot upon
it, This was the last of the Mill
targ Bill.
This daring and chiYalrous aci
Of patriotism was enough ID itseIi
to have elected him speaker with
ont opposition. There are still q
few left who remember this bold
act referfed to. and who relate il
with i great deal pf pride and

Considering a State Prohibition Bill.

When the big iniut Committee
of the Senate and House met IN
the Senate chamber at Jackson at
8 O'Clock Thursday afternoon, to
take. up the consideration of the
State Prohibition bill there were
present besides members of the
committee, several members OF
the State Prohibition Executive
Committee aud other prominent
Prohibitionists, Ne president and
State organizer of the Mississippi
w. G. L. U. and several
representatives of the liquor in
terests.
The. committee, BY motion
adopted last week, had specially
appointed this meeting, in order
that representatives of both sides
of the Prohibition questions
might have the opportunity to be
heard.
When the Committee was called
to order by Senator Leftwitch,
the chairman, Bishop Galloway
arose and stated for the Prohibi-
tionists that they had the utmost
confidence in the intelligence
and ability of the committee to
deal with the whole subject of
State Prohibition in response to
the expressed moral sentiment of
the whole State, and that repre-
sentatives Of the Prohibitionists
did not think it needfui or wish to
consume the time of the commit
tee or burden it with needless
iteration, but would waive all dis
.cussion of the question or its mer-
its.
The liquor representatives felt
that they could not afford to do
less than follow the example of
the Prohibitionists. and they too
waived the privilege of being
heard.
The joint committee then re-
solved to 90 into executive session
in one of the committee rooms and
consider the various bills before
them, behind closed doors, with
all but members of the committee
shut out.
When the committee adjourned
it was learned that encouraging
progress was made on the measure
to be submitted and that another
executive sessfBu OF tile Commit
tee had been set for last night.
The liquor interests, through
their representatives on the com.
nittee and their lobby, are en-.
deavorlng to effect compromise
with the prohibltionists by which
all licenses issued before the bill
is passed, shall be permitted te
run the full time. or at least unit
Jan. ], 1909. The Prohibitionists
are disposed TO insist that al
saloons shall close in three or si1
months after the bill is signed BY
the Governor and that the money
ror unexpired time be refunded.
On this, the majority seem de-
termined to stand pat.

tary of the big joint committee.
