UNITED STATES INDIAN POLICY

The Tacoma (Wash.) Tribune is a larg, and influential paper. It has not bee, chased among the ultra-radical or "yellow journals. The following is quoted from l with entire approval-except in the manner Of language employed: the Leader does no believe ill calling harsh names because, ii for no other reason, they detract from tn, force of good argument. Under the cap tion Hast of the Seminoles'' the Tribun. says:
 "The sickish Boston high brow, after
 being compelled to give up the Pacific Coast Siwash as J. Fenimore Cooper Indian. has come out strong for the Seminoles of the Everglades of Florida
 and in referring to our history of the noble red man as the century of dis
 honor,' mawkishly pules about leaving this last of an interesting race to keep
 their lands in peace.'
 ''The 'dishonor' in the treatment of the
 American Indian by the white man has been ill the persistent attempt to ram our own ideas or rather the ideas of a lot of cranks which we will not ourselves tolerate, down the neclzs of the poor red man, and make him dependent pauper, Austcdu OA d1lO"luS nlLu 1Fcc rem co Oe. velop the manhood that is in him, along with the newcomers.
 "The whole Indian policy has been criminally idiotic. The leading idea has been to make places for horde of Bos- ton weddings who must be taken care of at the public expense, and no other field offered as fair chance as to send them as supervisors of the morals, man. ners and doings of the helpless Indians. Helpless, because, unlike the most in- competent foreign immigrant, the In- dian had not only no political rights but not even the right to manage his own affairs or even the doings of his own household-in the end tending to degen. crate them into a race of diseased men, dicants."
 Wherever in the United States Indians have been given the opportunity they have become good citizens. Wherever the oppor tunity was withheld their contact with the whites resulted in demoralization in the same way that it is now going on in Alaska The whites always were worse for the con tact and the Indians in many instances all died: their treatment being more deadly in the end than the cruelty of the Spaniards in Mexico and Peru. It looks now as if the Indians along the Yukon may speedily become extinct. Their lives are colorless and they have nothing to live for and no future to look to but the un. certain problems that lie beyond the grave

New Orleans, February 1.-(Special)- The United States circuit court of ap- peals today reversed the case of John T. Hammond of Orlando. Fla. against the Consolidated Grocery company. and 14 other F1orida corporations, alleged subsidiary organisations of the Southern Wholesale Grocery association.

POSTAL SAVINGS
 BILL ATTACHED

Washington. February1.-In spirited attack on the postal savings bank bill Senator Jeff Davis of Arkansas, told the Senate today that fl was a measure in the interest of the national banks, the high colored roosters, the money sharks and money grabbers of Wall street. .- MT Davis antagonism was aroused by the refusal of Senator Carter in charge of the bill to entertain an amend ment eliminating the requirement that the savings funds be deposited only in banks subject to supervision and exam ination. The Arkansas Senator explained that there was no supervision of the state banks of his state and the effect of the measure would be to rob them of all the business going out of the postal deposits. On an aye and no vote his amendment was defeated to 43
 The measure was read in full Senators Bacon and Cummins presented amend ments to the provision regulating the de- posit or postal savings funds and Mir. Cummns spoke in explanation to his sus- gestions which provide especially for the deposit of certain moneys in banks in towns and cities which have postoffices where deposits are to be made.

VAN BANDIT CASE
 VERY PUZZLING

Cincinnati, February 1.-According to the police Jesse Van Zandt, the hus- band of the woman whose bound and incinerated body was found lying across her kitchen stove last Saturday morning, was positively identified to- day as the man seen by a neighbor run ming from the house about the time of the supposed murder.
 When informed of this alleged iden- tification Van Zandt still maintained the almost unnatural composure which has marked his actions since the time whe en he was confined and confronted with the roasted corpse of his wife. He contented himself with curt denial that he had fled from the house.
 As the case stands at present 1t is as far from solution as when the woman s body was first discovered.
 There is not even sufficient evidence to show whether Mrs. Van Zandt was murdered or committed suicide.

Issuance of distress warrants
against dealers alleged to be dispens,
ing intox .oants continued yesterday at
the Office of William F. Hunt, County
Curt Clerk. There was trouble in
some sections, a number of the small
dealers being unable to produce a re-
quired amount. Their places were
closed and the reports of the Officer

small places had been closed. A mum
her of officers were serving the dis
tress warrants and the reports re
teived are not definite.
Numerous stronger dealers made
settlement, the total number who hal
