YOSEMITE. Aug. 29.-President Taft's
interest in behalf of the Indians of the
Yosemite valley was bespoken by the
school superintendent of California at
their closing session at Camp Ahwah-
nee yesterday.
A resolution offered by Superintend-

schools was adopted, as follows:
That the attention OF the president
be called to the present condition of the
Yosemite Indians to the end that they
may receive more just and humane con-
sideration-'

gion for half century and author OF
the book on Yosemite Indians. though
Clark only referred to the good char
acter OF the digger" Indians, the fact
that they have never troubled the
whites and have received no aid from
the government nor compensation for
the beautiful valley formerly their
property.

He thought the poor Indian was being
crowded by the whites in the region
where formerly he roamed at will.
while they would hardly refuse aid
and IN justice may be entitled TO some
compensation for the valley it is a
question whether the diggers would
welcome confinement on a reservation
The valley was discovered by an ex-
petition removing a former generation

Indians then asked permission to re-

HERE LIBERTY WAS BORN
Old Boston Town House Cradle Of
Representative Government
In America.

In the STORY OF the Old Boston Town
House" which has just been issued by
Colonel Josiah Henry Benton OF Boston,
the author has this TO say on the interest
ing subject:
The first important building for secular
purposes in New England was the Boston
town house, built in 1858 at the head of
State street, where the present old state
house stands.
This town house was destroyed in the
great fire OF III. The interest which prop
erly attaches to the history of the present
building, constructed the year after the
fire, has obscured the more important his
tory OF the original building. II may be of
value to those who love the memory of the
olden time. when civil government in New
England was getting under way, to give
the story and political life Of the town and
colony, and TO review some of the events
which ccurred I'm IT and about il.
mo building in America has a history
more interesting or instructive to the stu
dent of free government than the Boston
town house. Within its wooden walls
American independence was born. II was
the cradle Of representative government
IN the new world, and a separation of
executive. legislative and judicial mowers
were developed by the contests waged i'm
and about It.. Here freedom of religious
worship was first recognized in Massachu-
sets, and freedom of speech and of the
press, though at first denied, finally pre-
vailed.
The Boston town house was the seat
or government OF the colony under the

The process by which the people Of
