Committee Is to Sift Indian Charges

each year in the Indian bill go? II
has been constantly charged that they
go in large part to about everybody
except the Indians. For instance,
100000 was appropriated in the last
bill for irrigation of the Flathead
reservation lands. If the stories now
being laid before the probers are true,
this money is to be used, not for the
Indians, but for lands that have been
taken from the Indians and are held
by spectators. The ella irrigation
project is alleged to present a some.
what similar situation.
Another case that the committe Is
going to probe is that of the Grow
reservation in Montana. A case OF
Uintah Indians of Utah is going to be
taken up in the effort to locate re,
sponsibility for the woes of this tribe.
The charge is that the Indians were
allotted their lands on a map, without
reference to topography. Some got
bottom lands and some got mountain
tops, and on these they were expected
to live while the rest of the lands
were deftly manipulated into the
hands of enterprising white men who
managed the deal.

Uncle Sam Issues a Million Patents

TIE United States government will
i soon issue its one millionth pat
ent for an invention. Commissioner
of Patents Edward Bruce Moore has
been looking forward for some time
to a celebration of the issuance of pat
ent No. 100000 1t was his hope that
this distinguished number should go
to some epoch-making invention.
The United States patent office will
be 1872 years old when the coveted
number is issued. The bureau was
established in 1890 as an adjunct to
the treasury department Early in
1886 there was fire which destroyed
not only the building of the patent Of
flee, but every record, all the import
ant drawings and papers, and every
model owned by the government.
Prior to the fire the Office had issued
1887 patents.
; The first strictly American inven-
ton to receive patent from the orig
inal United States patent office was
the cotton gin. The patent was issued
March IA, 1894, to Eli Whitney The
number of the Whitney patent was not
preserved. Neither was the number

or the necessaries OF life. Tine most
superficial investigation of this SUBJ
ject will clearly prove that good roads
are more important to the consumers
than they are to the producers of
the country.
The fathers of the republic wisely
recognized the Importance of this
question. Washington and Jefferson
advocated good roads and projected
the construction of a great highway
from the capital to the Mississippi
valley. The far-seeing statesmen of
the early days of our national exist
ence championed and passed meas
ures to better the means of transport
t;.tion. They knew that of all human
agencies the one which has done most
for civilization has been the building
- good roads-the toridgment of dis
tances, the shortening of time-in the
facility of communication. They real
lied the necessity Of good roads, how
important they were to the country,
to it's growth and its development;
and to mankind, morally, physically,
Intellectually and industrially.

Do YOUR. WORK, DON'T
i SIMPLY talk ABOUT IT
Silence Is Really Golden,
Especially in a Busy j
. Office. y

"TALKERs are no great doers,'
1 says Shakespeare. and what
was true in his day seems to just
about fit this.
All Of us have noticed the differ
snce between the efforts of the cir
who takes all the world into he,
confidence when she embarks on E
certain project and the efforts of the
girl who works silently and steadily
one 1mpresses us at first with the
quantity OF Work she is doing and
VIII do, but after while we become
more or less accustomed to her con.
slant talk and begin to see that. af.
ter all, most of her efforts and re
suits are merely in her conversation
while, on the other hand, We may
overlook the silent worker in the
beginning, in the end her results
VIII show that instead of wasting
time and energy in a. perpetual
stream of talk she has concentrated
them on her work, and has arrived
at result which may surpass even
ner own hopes.
Let us take Lincoln, for instance
His superfluous words were few in
deed but his very silence impressed
one with his latent power.
To do good work We must think.
and when We pass the time in
vain babble of words, which we sup
pose will impress our audience with
belief IN our powers how can we put
the thought in our owrk which it will
need to give 1t the upward impetus?
Prior touches the point wittily
when he says:
They never taste who always drink.
They always talk who never think.
Whom do you think is most like
ly to succeed-the little stenograph-
er who sits quietly at her work,
plugging away in silence at her large
pile OF letters, Watching always for
an opportunity to make herself val
liable to her employer, and grasping
the opportunity when she sees it, but
always quietly, and with no big talk
Of what she can do?
Or will it be the stenographer who
goes about her work noisily, talking
the while?
No great intellect is needed to de-
eide.
Have you ever noticed when you
wish to do somthing out of the gen.
eral routine, whether it is to embroid-
er shirtwaist or to give theater
party, If You begin to talk a great
deal about 1t before even making the
preparations, somehow Or other it al
ways falls through?
But when you go about 1t sans talk
you manage to put the work through
and generally make success of it.
We can't do our work by talking
about it. When Raphael painted his
masterpiece, when Bach composed
his famous fugues, do you suppose
they buttonholed friends and poured
into their ears tales of the work still
undone?
No, the work was done in secret,
and given to the world as the re-
suit Of a master mind, mind that
conserved its forces and did not frit-
ter them away in empty Dragging.
And then, to look at it from an.
other point of view, If We resolve
to do certain thing and after hav-
ing made a confidant of the world
We fail, are we not likely to be
laughed at?
Whereas, On the other hand, if we
have kept our project a secret, even
though failure rewards, our efforts.
no one will be the wiser.
