The people of the West are clamoring
sat these tied-up natural resources shall
be mad available for Use. The admins
tration desires Congress to enact legis-
lation providing for the development Of
these resources under a leasing system.
Undoubtedly the republican majority
could not do what the administration
wants II to do in spite of the brevity Of
the session, but there seems to be small
prospect Of getting the measures passed.
The National anti-saloon league Is APP
pealing to the republican majority to en-
act legislation at this session which will
give States control Of Interstate ship
fnents of intoxicating liquor. The bill
enbodying the legislation the anti-saloon
league desires was introduced at the last
session by Representative Miller Of Kan
sas and is pending before the committee
on the judiciary of the House.
While both republicans and democrats
are talking tariff-talking II more than
any other one topio-the probability of
any tariff legislation at this session Is
extremely remote. President Taft's tariff
board is not prepared to make a final
report on any schedule of the existing
law. and until It is ready the now pro-
gram adopted by some Of the republic
cans. Of amending the tariff law by
piecemeal, cannot be carried out. The OPP
inion among some public men is that the
administration will do well II 1t gets an
appropriation that will enable the tariff
board to continue It's Investigations. The
democrats are prepared to rosist any
tariff legislation at this session II the
republicans should undertake II. hey
want the subject left alone for them to
deal with In the House next year.
PROBABLY A ROW OVER PANAMA.
Tho call Of the administration for mon
ey with which to begin the work of forti-
flying the Panama canal Is bound to
bring on a fight in Congress. Some of
the members OF the House committee on
appropriations including the chairman,
Mr.. Tawney, are opposed TO taking any
step toward fortifying the waterway un-
til an effort shall have been made to Oh
tain an agreement from the governments
OF tie world that the canal shall be con-
sidered rs neutral territory. The House
committee on foreign affairs has before
1t a resolution which proposes to nell
tralize the canal, So, it would seem that
this question of whether the canal shall
be fortified will come up for considera-
ton Immediately before two of tho i'm
portant committees Of the House.

PAiING DEAR FOR WASTE.

Ckrom the New York SUM
The census of 1850 counted 7.7l4C00 per-
sons engaged in agriculture" PROBABLY
the census of 1910 win SHOW not far from
100000 so engaged. If so, the increase
In the number of producers has been
about 30 per cent. Yct the increase in
production, measured In quantity. has
unquestionably been considerably greater,
by reason of new and improved farm i'm
plenients and appliances and by some i'm
provement in farm methods. The inference
from the facts is that the people of today
want more than did the people of q gen.
Grafton ago, and have the money with
which to pay for il. An enormous guam
tity. of an enormou value, is wasted and
destroyed in processes Of distribution and
in household management. II has been
estimated roughly, that If these various
wastes w"re avoided, as they mieht he,
we could all live as we'll as We do now
If the present supply We're reduced to
one-third. If that or anything IKE II Is
true, our yearly wastage is measurable
in billions Of dollars.
Undoubtedly our farmers do not pro-
duce as much as they could produce hy
better methods and they certainly do no.

might. For their negligence in those
matters the public pays. a chan-e ir

INDIANS Are INCREASING
There Are Now about 100000 Of
Them in the United States.
Commissioned Valentine TELLS of Their
Habits ana Characteristics M
Ethan Alien club smoker
Nobic Rec Mnn Non Est.

ROBERT ~ ' dIt1ltlllts ''liiiiliSSlplltl "
indian affairs at Washington, -. c., gave
a very interesting and instructive talk
Thursday night at the Ethan Alien club
at q smoker held by the members, which
was largely attended.
Mr.. Valentine presented to his hearers
some of the big problems in connection
with caring For the Indians which are
now occupying the attention OF this
government, and gave some interesting
points concerning what Is being done to
make Of the Indian n useful citizen.
There are at present, according to MI.
Valentine. some 800, 600 Indians in this
country, speaking about go different
languages. Mr.. Valentine said that the
popular impression that Indians were
decreasing Is a mistake, They are. rather.
incres sing at the present time. It is said
that there were in this country al the
time Of the landing of Columbus about
half a million Indians, SO that at present
their number is not so much short of this
estimate as many people believe.
Indians, said Mr.. Valentine, are not
cruel. as many believe. Had 1t not been
for the stories of slaves spread in Spain
by Columbus, said the speaker, it is
probable that not a droD Of white blood
would ever have been shed by the
Indians.
Mr.. Valentine said that he could not
say truthfully that he had ever met a
noble redman. according TO the popular
conception Of such. The noble redman,"
according to the speaker. is she imaginary
product of sentimentalists and does not
really exist. The Indian has Il moral
code of his own. It is. ."Nothing Is TOO
good for Il friend. nothing too bad for an
enemy"
Every massacre. said MI. Valentine,
ma be traced to some massacre in thu
past and no killing of the white men by
The Indians ever occurred without some
previous massacre in which II would gen
orally be found that Indian blood had
been shed.
That the Indian Is not lazy is evident.
said Mr.. Valentine. from the fact that
he is considered one Of the best workers
employed In great enterprises, such a.
railroad construction. building Of great
dams. etc. The Indians perhaps Seen
lazy because their occupations and sports
have been taken away from them. Tn,
government has assured them Of three
meals each day for the remainder of
their lives and it is not strange thai
some Of them appear lazy under thi,
treatment.
The Indian has a keen sense of hunoi
and Is very brave. AS an example OF
this former characteristic, Mr.. Valentine
told of an old Indian chief who was
brought out on one of the reservations
for an Introduction to a noted army
general. The wife Of the general wa.
