tions. Also, by the same law, all ms land would eventually come onto the market It is not right to say that the Indian race ever voted for that act It was passed by the white vote. It was ratified by the white blood, and not by the red.
 "To understand the last stand of vanishing race We must keep certain historical facts in mind. At the time the Five Civilized Tribes were moved from the eastern southern states across the Mississippi river to the section we now know as Oklahoma, they owned vast funds, paid them for their lands in the eastern states and left ill the hands of the United States government, with the interest rolling up continually-so much interest that somtimes one family has had due it eight thousand or ten thousand dollars in interest alone. They owned also, inalienab1y, nineteen mill lions of acres of land in their new home (now Oklahoma). These lands contain immensely valuable natural riches. the royalties on the leases alone being enormons-fOr 1906 about $1,70O,O00. Asphalt lands, timber lands and railway lands are also classified as revenue producers
 Suppose" says MT. Hough, going to the heart of the graft system, "l am a grafter and that I know where the good agricultural lands are. also know where ignorant Indians are file my Indian for his surplus land on a good farm two hundred miles west of him, which he never saw and never intends to see. That means that when the restrictions are removed from that surplus land it will come on the market under con- ditions not very favorable to my h. dian, but mighty favorable to me. Perhaps l already have lease on it. before the Indian gets it. To make the Indians more helpless, they were often, by interruptions grafters pos ing as friends, scattered as widely as possible to their allotments; this be- ing something with which the Dawes commission had nothing to do.
 Do these things seem rather coarse and raw? They are all true, and names, chapter and verse can be given for each and every statement made here, and for very many more. A great part of the business system of all allotted Oklahoma-the most part so far as relations with the In- dians are concerned-is coarse and raw. Money is easy in Oklahoma. The margin between ignorance and shrewdness between semi-savagery and civilization, between two dollars an acre and thirty dollars an acre. between one hundred and fifty dol lars lot and seven thousand dollars lot. is very wide.''

, Phoenix high school has also pro-
I crossed, but has been handicapped by
! lack of room and equipment. The
most notable improvement in the PhOe-
mix high school has been in its bust
ness course, and the pupils have been
| quick to recognize it. Two years ago.
| understand, 40 were enrolled in that
| department; now there are over 200.
THE old idea of education in the
higher institutions of learning was to
prepare young men and ladies for a
social. literary or professional career.
The ideal life was that of cultured and
refined idleness and social pleasures
The high school was the preparatory
! school for the higher CD institution.
The present idea OF education is to
prepare for intelligent labor. Acquire
that knowledge that will best make
for good citizenship and best prepare
you for home and business life. In
short make education practical. Pol
ish also comes with use. There was a
time when the college man in business
was the subject of ridicule or pity.

training was a useless incumbrance

many years to come great business
opportunities in Arizona and Mexico
will be presented TO Arizonians. There
is not a person in Phoenix who is ig
norant of the language that would not
be helped by knowing it.
What is wanted is to make the
school intensely practical in every de-
partment and if that is done the boys
and girls cannot be kept away from
it and they will stay until they grad
uate.
In Los Angeles they have a num-
Der of high schools, among which is
