legislative councils will be Indians.
But the action of all the Indian law
makers is subject to veto OF the gov
eminent in London. The British
have esta bhshed $50 municipal
bodies and 1900 local boards.
The British have given the natives
the Anglo-Saxon right of free press
and trial by jury-with exceptions.
Native leaders have occasionally been
imprisoned without being charged or
tried. The government Is charged,
too, with using spies, The white man

But the greatest wrong that Great

int odeeper poverty. and indebted
ness. The British prefer to force
the natives to ship their cotton to
England to have 1t spun and woven
rather than establish factories here
The British have not introduced ma
chimes to give the people employ
ment. They have not even introduced
modern farming methods, and the
land does not feed the immense popu-
lation.
II is also to England's shame that
four villages out of five are without
schools; three boys out OF four grow
up with no education: only one girl
in four attends school
England has aimed too much at
mere efficiency in the Indian govern
ment and has not sympathized with
the aspirations OF the natives she
awakened from Oriental sleep It's
a case of too much head, and not
enough heart; justice perhaps, but not
wisdom.

MIXED FOR THE FEEDERS
They Don't Know Just What Is Best
gf to Dp.
", F. AUMILLER,
Abilene, Kansas

says cattle feeder: It's not just
now a pleasant outlook for the cattle
feeders OF this county They have
risked their money in the purchase
Of stock cattle, and are stuffing them
with high priced corn, which would,
il marketed, bring pile OF cash, In
the hope that when in good condition
for the market would bring good
enough prices to let them out with
out loss, at least, and probably bring
them a profit that would cover the
labor and the corn and hay fed them
But lust at this critical period, a beef
war is brought ON, the market is
threatened with disruption. and there
is no telling what kind of prices Will
nrevail. when this has had its run and
the market regains its equilibrium
To these feeders, there are just two
alternatives. two hours to dilemma
The one is to watch for a turn in
demand and price that is favorable
and run his cattle in as half-feds,
and the other is to go right ahead
feeding, paying all attention to get
ting his cattle in good shape and
ready for market and none whatever
to the present condition or markets
From the present aspect Of the cat
tie conditions, it looks like this latter
hang1op policy would be the safest.
II has been proved that there are
none too many cattle In this country
at the present time. 1t is also inti-
mated in dispatches from the east
that there is the commencement OF
an unusual movement Of beef to-
wards the old country, which may
increase until IT fully offsets the
amount that Is not being consumed
here as usual In that case. when rea-
son resumes her sway, and the war
is over, the shortage vii still exist
and hence, good prices prevail.
