FOURTEEN ERRORS OF LIFE.

The fourteen mistakes of life, Judge
Reentaul told the Bartholomew CLUB
are:
To attempt TO set up our own stand
ard of right and wrong and expect
everybody to conform to it.
To try to measure enjoyment OF 9TH
ers by our own.
To expect uniformity of opinion in
this world.
To look for judgment and experience
in youth.
To endeavor to mould all DISPOSE
tons alike.
Not to weld in unimportant trifies.
To look for perfection In our own
actions.
To worry ourselves and others about
what cannot be remedied.
Not to alleviate, if we can, all that
needs alienation.
Not to make allowances for weak
ness of others.
To consider anything impossible
that we cannot ourselves perform.
To believe only what our finite
minds can grasp.
! To live as if the moment, the time
the dav we're so important that i
would live forever.
To estimate people by some outside
quality, for it is that within which
makes the man.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 12.-Since the
exposure of the Indian land frauds in
Oklahoma several alleged agents have
commenced work in Mississippi seek
ing to establish claims for members
of the Choctaw tribe in this state.
While not openly claiming to be
agents of the United States govern
ment, these persons, it is stated, en-
deavor to leave that impression on the
parties with whom they deal, and it
is rumored around the Federal build
ing that their operations will soon at
tract the attention of the department
of justice.
Mississippi is the original home OF
the Choctaw tribe, but it is very doubt
full whether there is any considerable
number of descendants of that tribe
| in the state who have not had the OPP
portunity of proving their claims for
land allottments in the Oklahoma res
ervation, and it is believed that these
bogus agents are seeking to make
prey on persons of alleged Indian
descent, chiefly those who have negro
blood in their veins.
Dawes Commission Work.
In 1901 and 1902 the Dawes Com
mission sent agents to Mississippi for
the purpose of receiving applications
from Choctaws who could prove their
lineal descent Wholesale attempts
were made to defraud the government
at that time, more than $4,000 claims
being filed, of which only 1890 were
allowed by the Dawes Commission.
Early in 1903 the Federal Govern
ment furnished the successful claim
ants with railroad tickets to Oklaho
ma, carrying many of them on special
trains, and each was given 800 acres
of land. The act of Congress on which
these claims were based required the
: Choctaws to remain on the lands fol
specified time, and each was fur
nished with a tent and subsistence
for sixty days.
Perhaps ten per cent of these Choc
Jaws grew dissatisfied with their rev
surroundings, had no means OF sup
= port after the period of subsistence
expired, and abandoned their lands
returning to their old homes in cen
trail Mississippi, chiefly Scott, New
ton, Noxubee and Leake counties
! They no longer have any claim on III
government, and if the alleged agent
are endeavoring to convince them tina
> they can be reinstated it is very likel
: that Uncle Sam will take hand i
the game.
The agents of the Dawes Comml'
sion who received applications in thu
state in 1901 and 1902 approved tn
claims of all full bred and half-bree
Indians who could prove lineal d
, scent. Among the claimants WeI
thousands of negroes who either IN
" agined that they had Indian blood

nv unscrupulous attorneys to clail
aboriginal descent. 1t is recalled thi

INAUGURATION DAY.

Because the Inauguration day
amendment was recommitted by the
house to a committee believed to be
unfavorable to it the impression has
been created that it is practically
killed for this session. The conclusion
is probably premature Congressman
have independent views on the ques-
ton, drawn fir m their own observa-
ton and experience, and the local in
fiuence of the national capital is
strongly enlisted for the April date,
that will give the inaugural outdoor
pageant a better chance for tolerable
weather than it has at present. The
present inauguration day, March 4, is
a pneumonia breeding day. Its inciden-
tai exposure has caused many deaths
and much sickness; it exposes the
most important personages in the land
to wholly unnecessary risks, and it
ought to be changed to a more sa-
luxurious month Doubtless it will be
after a while, but the inertia which de-
lays action is hard to move.

THE LIFE SAVERS.

The criticism of the life-saving SER
vice and the suggestions which the
coast guards are sending congressman
for its improvement can hardly be re-
garded as false alarm 1t has been
a cause for wonder to many thought
full people that so many daring and
unselfish men could be maintained for
this duty with no greater inducements.
The pay is small; there are no re-
wards for the veterans, and no relief
provided for those disabled by duty
Yet no service connected with the gov
eminent is so full of hazard and hard
ship. The record of what these men
have accomplished in the saving of
life and property in the year just
ended, for instance, is a noble one 1t
would not take much to satisfy these
men. Were it not for their families
they would probably be content to take
their chances in the perilous calling in
which they are engaged, and at least

JOHN BURNS.

1t is a matter for sincere gratifica-
ton in this country that John Burns
has retained his seat in the house of
commons, and by an unexpected large
majority. He is much more than a
liberal leader of marked ability. Were
he only that, we should feel no more
interest in him than in Mr.. Lloyd
George nor so much as in John Nor
ley. But he is a conspicuous repre-
sentative of the best type Of the Brf-
fish wOrkingmen, and the finest prod
uct of the world wide movement of or
ganized labor. He is clear headed,
fair-minded, courageous and astute
statesman, and he has learned his diff
ficult art in the hard and uncertain
school of experience. 1t is not many
years ago that he was a passionate and
violent agitator, from whom nothing
but disturbance, in season and out of
season, was to be expected. Today
certainly his sympathy with his own
class is not less passionate, but his
view of their rights, power, policy mad
aims is broad and practical.

WASTE OF AMERICAN LIFE.

The conference at Atlanta for the
eradication of the hoolzworm disease is
interesting as an example of the or
ganized methods which are nowadays
EMPLOYED to resist and reduce disease.
Within recent memory the ravages of
the hookworm parasite were SO light
ly regarded and the nature of the dis
ease so little understood that it was
the subject more of questionable hu-
NOR than of serious investigation. To-
day all the resources of medical
science, in conjunction with public and
philanthropic aid, are brought to bear
to combat the disease, which is now
recognized as a cause of mental and
physical degeneracy.
How much has been accomplished
by organized effort toward the reduc-
ton of disease and how much remains
to be done were shown by e. E. Rit-
tenhouse. president of the Provident
Savings Life Assurance society, in his
address at the conference The death
rate of tuberculosis has been reduced
40 DR. cent since 1880 and $8,000,000 is
now spent annually to fight that dis
ease. Yet 10000 American people die
from it every year.
The death rate for typhoid fever as
the result of better sanitation has de-
clined A per cent in the same period.
Yet the disease still claims $4,000 VIC
TINS annually. The diphtheria death
rate has been reduced 80 per cent. Yet
the disease causes 10000 deaths
year. AS against this favorable exhibit
of the results of preventive medicine
the mortality from the degenerative
diseases Of the heart, kidneys, arteries
and brain has largely increased dur
ing the last quarter of a century

Speaking of the campaign of publ
city that has been carried on in many
of the western states, Mr.. Shepard
gave facts to show what has been ac-
complished, and gave figures from rail-
road men indicating the amount of
literature sent out during the past
year. Mr.. Shepard said there is no
danger of an over production of fruit,
more than temporarily, at least be-
cause the actual supply is decreasing,
the population is increasing, and the
consumption of fruit is increasing five
times as rapidly as the population.
The Largest Apples.
H. c. Chew presented those pres
ent with basket of the largest apples
grown in the northwest last season,
the specimens weighing six ounces.
President J. M. Crawford, of the
Commercial club, was presented with
a magnificent Rome Beauty, imported
from Wenatchee. A M. Elan, manag
er Of the Milton F'ruitgrowers union,
spoke briefly upon the situation in
that part of the valley, saying that the
Milton union is doing an excellent
work. One thing lacked by the Walla
Walla valley, he said, is more careful
attention to orchard, in order that a
better price might be realized. AL
though this valley has possibilities
equal to any section in the west, the
speaker said the improvements here
are not On par with those in North
Yakima and Wenatchee, though an
other year or so will work a wonderful
change in fruit growing methods here.
E. S. Ryerson, of Dayton, one of the
students of the packing school, told
briefly of the prospects in his neigh
borhood for the 1911 crop, saying the
acreage has been materially increased
this year, and that many grain tracts
have been turned over to the produc-
ton of apples and other varieties OF
fruits.
