SETTLERS TO GUST INDIANS
Opening Of Navajo Reservation to
White Men Urged by New Mexico
Contains 100000 Acres.

Santa Fe. N. M.-White men have
set their eyes on the riches OF the
Navajo Indian Reservation. and 1t may
not be long before the proud tribe
will be swallowed by civilization.
The initial movement for the open.
ing Of the Navajo Reservation to set
Element has been taken IN Q memorial
which the Legislature Of New Mexico
has sent TO the President and Con
gTsss. Utah and Arizona are also In
volved. and powerful private interests
will undoubtedly help.
The New Mexico memorial sets out
that the Navajo Reservation contains
about 1900. 900 acres Of land. AS the
tribe numbers less than two thousand
members. according to the best figures
obtainable. this would give loo acres
apiece to the members. 1t Is declared
that this allotment II unjust.
The reservation is known to be rich
In minerals. White men who have
been at the government station tell
OF gold and silver ornaments they
have seen among the Nava1os and OF
tales Of large deposits that have been
worked by the Indians in their crude
way. Many white men have tried to
get permission to develop the mines,
but they have met with refusal. Some
prospectors who have ventured within
tho reservation limits in search OF
gold have disappeared. and cowboys
have told OF seeing Nava3os wearing
sheir clothing.
There = also much land within the
Psssrva&3oo that might b turned to
Agriculture. Many opportunities are
offered for building dams to irrigate
what u now desert country, and the
soil will yield bountfuIly.
The Navajos will not let themselves
be dispossessed willingly. They are
regarded by men who know Indians
as the proudest tribe In the country.
They have kept to themselves in AZ
the years OF invasion by the Whit
men and there have been few inteA
marriages.

The majesty of the law has
again been indicated. For the
life of the innocent man whose
blood without cause he took,
Claude Allen must give his life,
following his father into the
death house. He must pay the
forfeit of the murderer.
The conviction of Claude Allen
must be sealed with the approval
of the people of the State. The
verdicts in the Floyd and Claude
Allen cases not only command
the commentator of tho law
abididg citizens of the Common
wealth, but gain also the just
admiration of the people of the
country. No state in the Union
has so high and so honorable a
record of strict obedience to the
law as Virginia; the lawless pun
ishment of lawlessness is practi-
cally unknown in this State; JUS
tice is secured here withall pos
sible dispatch, and without de-
feat through technically. There
are no loopholes for murderers
here; the 1awbreaker cannot es-
cape the consequences of his in
fraction. If the Hillsyille trag-
edy had no parallel in cold-blood-
ed and unreasoning atrocity, ii
also has had no parallel in the
swift bring to bar of the inhu-
mau brutes who were responsible
for it. The only blot upon the
record is the escape Of two of the
men who are concerned, but the
law has a long finger and these
men may yet be enmeshed in the
snares of justice.
The Claude Allen conviction
accumulates credit to Virginia
justice, because the opinion was
prevalent in many places that the
conviction of Floyd Allen would
be considered enough punishment
for the clan, and that his success
sors in the prisoners box would
be let down with comparatively
light Imprisonment. Not so; each
man is being tried ON his own
participation in the crime, and to
each man is meted out just pun.
ishment without reference to
other cases. The lesson that
these two convictions will teach
will be lasting, for they spell the
end of feudism and the subordi.

back to the Senate the wool and
sugar tariff bills with none of

On the wool bill no conference
was asked.
The Senate tonight is in a
quandary over the program for
further consideration of the three
bills. The regular Republicans
are reported favorable to absent

a chance to pass the bills. The

Governor Mann To Farmers OF
VIRGINIA.

Some thing entirely new in the
way of a proclamation was issued
Saturday by Governor Mann. It
was the first of its kind in the
United States. 1t was simply an
agricultural proclamation, de-
signed for the upbuilding of the
farming interests.
This paper calls upon every
farmer in the State to devote as
much time as possible during the
first two weeks in August to the
| study of grasses, their cultiva-
ton, their growth, preparation
| of soil, selection of ground and
harvesting. This applies to clo-
vers and other grasses as we'll as
to alfalfa.
On August IA he would have
the farmers assemble at their
county courthouse nd hold meet.
ings to exchange views on the
subject which they have been
studying.
The Governor believes that
there are few more profitable
lines of agricultural endeavor
than in the growing of grass.
The fortunes being made annual
ly in this State from alfalfa, with
the constant demand for and high
prices of hay of all sorts, seems
sufficient argument to him. On
Friday he heard of a man, well
known through the State, who
has put away 200 tons of hay al.
ready this year.
Education and cooperation
along these lines will be of great
advantage, the Governor thinks,
and he is endeavor;ug to concen-
trate public attendance on the
subject by the issuance of his
proclamation.
While the many Farmers Clubs
are being organized in Rocking.
ham the Governor proclamation
will no doubt be well received.
August 14th will be Wednesday
before Courtday,
1t is probable that the meeting
will be postponed until Courtday
as many of the farmers will be il

Why do SO many. German children
commits suicide? No one seems &c
know, but there is no dispute about
the fact. Indeed. it has been said that
the majority of suicides are those OF
children, and experts seem inclined tc
connect the grisly epidemic with the
educational SYSTEM That the weak
must go to the WALL has become ar
axiom that has been extended To the
schools. and the undeveloped mind OF
the CHILD seeks relief in suicide from
the encouragement of failure. II
