THE INDIANS WORST DISEASE.

Especial to The Sentinel
Washington, Jan. 10.-"Tuberculos-
is stands at the head of the diseases
which afflict the Indian"
This is the statement made in the
annual report OF the commissioner of
Indian affairs That it is on the in
crease is further stated. but methods
are being employed by which it is
hoped to eliminate the disease as far
as possible.
Three hundred and three govern
ment schools were conducted during
the last fiscal year. this being a net
increase of %. Almost all of the
Christian denominations in the Unit
ed States have missions in the Indian
country. the report recites, adding
that the Indian office co-operates
gladly, impartially and with increas-
ing effectiveness with each and all.
The commissioner says the govern
ment. in the person of each employe
should cooperate with religious de-
nominal tions in avoiding the dangers
which may come from proselyting
In conclusion, the report says:
There is no authority under exist
ing law for leasing for mining pur-
poses the tribal lands of reservations
that have been established by execu-
tive order. There are several such
reservations, rich in minerals. and
one in particular in Arizona contain
ing large deposits of tufa stone, that
it is hoped congress will, by appropri-
ate legislation. enable the Indians to
make use of.
The domestic life of the Indians,
the sanctity and purity of the mar
riage relation. is a matter of prime

by stringent laws in accord with the
most advanced and best marriage and
divorce laws among the whites The
secretary of the interior should be
given power to enforce purer mode
of living among the Indians by with
holding their annuities when they
are found to be living openly in
adulterous relations
In order to handle successfully
the many problems of sanitation and
those arising from epidemics and dis
eases to which Indians are peculiarly
susceptible. legislation appropriating
a sufficient sum for the establishment
of medical corps should be enacted.
There is a great need for de-
termined and systematic effort to
teach the Indians those industries
best suited to their localities and to
their abilities. An industrial corps.
similar in its administrative features
to the medical corps above outlined,
should be established, with headquar-
ters in the field, with view to the
industrial education of the Indians,
male and female, and whose duty il
should be to educate the Indians in
such industries that they might be-
come self-respecting and self-support
