Make the Indian a Man First.

Friends of the Indian seem to be
reaching the conclusion that the red
man has been fondled too much as a
government ward. Any other theory
at this stage of history would obstruct
further aboriginal Advancement. II
the Indian is ready for the enlarged
privileges of citizenship he is ready
to know that before he is an Indian
he is a man.
When Francis E. Leupp wal Indian
commissioner, he used to say that IL
was a mistake to regard the Indian as
a white man in red skin. But even
Mr.. Leupp was wary of pressing the
significance Of this truism upon the
Indians attention. In all his admin
istraticn he drifted steadily away from
the false doctrine thai the way 10
help one who is down is to pity him.
Nobody expects the young Indian to
put off his feathers and paint and fit
into college clothes without some dis
comfiture. moi because he holds a Has
kel or Carlisle diploma to startle the
world with his erudition. But what
is expected is that he shall recognize
the import Of being educated or the
significance OF graduating from col
lege. Unless the school has taught
him this 1t has failed in its mission,

An old confidential clerk in a banking
mouse has just died, leaving an estate Of
W 100000 and $S,OOo,OOo. all saved
out OF his wages and acquired by invest
ment' Far from being a difficult feat, this
IS rather easy. Any bright boy who fans
cies such a career can repeat II.
suppose an office boy Of 16 has in two
years saved by pinching self-deniai 500.
He can loan 1t at legal interest on good
personal security or invest It to yield 4
per cent. In the former case II the Yield
Is kept reinvested 1t will grow to g. 300 by
the time he is 75; in the latter case TO g. 100.
But the boy keeps on saving. His wages
are raised from time to time, and az his
second, third and succeeding 500 come moro
quickly, each in turn is set on its way TO
grow into thousands. At IS he has a salary
Of perhaps, $500 a year and saves 81. 800 Of
1t or more. The savings OF that single
year, kept invested at legal interest, will
grow to $4,000 in forty years. But already
he has many other dollars ct work for
him-or rather Cor his unloving heirs. As
his salary grows he saves ana invests
more. and still more. Probably he will
see frequent chances OF profitable usury.
But he will never take a risk. He is a
faithful and trutworthy though not bril-
liant employee. He does not become dis
sipated nor gluttonous and so has no use
for doctors. His employers appreciate him
and he coins their appreciation into more
living, growing gold.
OF course he never marries. He spends
nothing on enjoyment or self-culture. In
the end he dies a lonely death, and from
the famous will case that follows the aw-
yers profit nightly.
There are probably a few boys in New

HOnOrs About Even,

II was a notable coincidence that Mr.
Roosevelt and Mr., Bryan should both OF
the same day have been distinguished by
having streets named In their honor. Mr.
Roosevelt was made an honorary citizen
Of Porto Maurizio, on the Italian frontier
and the new onore drive. the pride OF the
town, was thereafter christened Roosevelt
boulevard" Mr.. Bryan, after one Of his
magnetic discourses at Hatillo, Porto Rico,
not only had a street named after him. but
was further perpetuated in the public
memory by the installation OF a Bryan
school Of citizenship in an institute Of
which he laid the cornerstone.

Mr.. Bryan to drag the free-silver issue out
Of its grave this time3

the fight between republican and demo-

ings. There is a chance OF eieetlng a dem
ocratio house OF representatives in the fall,
OF increasing the number Of democrats in

But along comes Mr.. Bryan with the
cross of gold, the crown Of thorns and the

quest as a legacy left to him by his former

Quay started In life as a country school

and for several weeks was near death.

daughter, nursed him through his lckne
Afterwards Quay returned to Pennsylvania,
but he never forgot the kindness Of those
with whom he lived while in Mississippi.
The war came on and Mrs. Griffin's prop
erty was destroyed to some extent, and she
and her family suffered as did many Of
the families In the south in those days. In
later years Senator Quay learned OF the
difficulties that had overtaken his friends.
He went to General Walthall, then senator
from Mississippi, and said that he would
like to do something for Mrs. Baldwin, the
daughter.

said, Il win have Mrs. Baldwin appointed

w certainly will let you alone" re-
piled the general. He knew that otherwise
the appointment would go to a republican.
You have her appointed and we will see
that she is confirmed"
So the appointment was made. That
was in 1898. She has been reappointed
twice since then, and probably, by virtue
Of the legacy left to Penrose, win soon
receive her third appointment.
