GIVING THE INDIANS A CHANCE.

The time is at hand when the vast estate of the
American Indians, practically held in trust for them
by the Government, must be distributed to the people
who are its rghtful owners. the Indians have been
the objects Of endless graft most Of it backed by the
pretense of conserving their property For instance
according to Edgar B. Merritt law clerk in the Indian
Bureau some $l2,0OO,OOO of cash belonging to
individual Indians is held by the Government instead
of being distributed to its owners. This big fund
lies deposited in banks, and it is notorious that these
deposits constitute source of profits to political
banks to the decentralization of the Indians, the
service, and politics.
Then Mr.. Merritt estimates that there is $780,
100000 worth of timber on Indian lands Super
vised and administered by the Government under
regulations which govern its cutting and disposal,
this timber has been reserve for the benefit OF
powerful lumber interests, and been administered
too often in their interest," instead of the interest Of
the Indians or the public.
Permitted only the most limited control of them.
selves and responsibility for their own affairs the
Indians cannot be developed into useful or even self
supporting citizens. The Governments leading strings
should be taken off them as fast as possible. Men
who are intelligent, educated and industrious enough
to be safely trusted with their own affairs, should
have a chance to be independent self-respectng
citizens.
The sooner the Government divests itself of its
overlordShip of the red men the better it will be
for the Government, at least Anybody who has
seen the preparation of Indian legislation knows
that. Likewise, anybody at all familiar with the
history of Indian tribes that have been given a
chance-as, for instance, the Flandreaus of the
Dakotasto run their own affairs, become citizens in
the fullest sense, and develop the possibilities Of their
race, knows that more freedom means benefit to
the Indians

SENSE IN TRAFFIC REGULATIONS.

The District government authorities in prepar-
ing traffic regulations, will need to keep in mind
that common sense cannot be violated in such affairs
without breaking down the effectiveness of meas
ures intended to protect the public Prohibition gen.
orally doesn't prohibit. Speed limits that are need
lessly low invite disregard of the rules.
Washington, under present regulations, imposes
speed limit on automobiles that is too low. With
its broad avenues and its very few of anything
like dense traffic, Washington very properly be
more lenent in these regards than many other towns.
reasonable speed rule should be laid down, and
then it should be enforced the present unreason-
able is notoriously dsregarded Street cars con-
stanty exceed the speed which is theoretically per-
mitted to automobiles
On the other side, some new regulations are
needed that would do far to protect pedestrians
than low speed limit. For example, it is proposed
TO write into the rules that when street is
standing still to discharge passengers automobile
coming from behind to pass tine street car must stop
in order to insure against accident to people leaving
the street car That rule has never been imposed on
traffic here, though it is very generally enforced
strictly enforced here. Automobiles would co.
operate gladly in its observance, it, the other
hand, they given reasonable leeway in the
matter of speed. Those among them who didn't CO.
operate willingly should be given early demonstra.
ton of the authorities purpose to enforce tine rule.

DEADLIER THAN THE FEMALE.

Anyone who has censured the English suffragette
militant for rowdyism in her political relations must
feel an impulse to apologize or make allowance.
High parliamentary practice now vindcates the sis
terhoods policy of attacking prime ministers, with
incidental acd-throwing and window smashing.
Mr.. Asquith, who was roughhoused in the COM
mons, and Winston Spencer Churchill, VINO was the
target of missiles flung at the whole cabinet by hon
orable gentlemen, have never been so matreated by
the suffrage belligerens. AS for the language and
the screeching which broke up riotous session on
the home rule BILL nothing in the annals of the cam
pagn of votes for women was more dsgraceful. If
forcibe feeding was ever defensibe, the suffragiss
would be warranted in advocating it for some mem
bers of the house of commons. The male of the
species has nothing on the female.
With ruffanly conduct in parliament as exam
ple it would not be amazing if the militant ladies
we're to organize a fresh jahad of vandalism and
bomb throwing. They have received official invita-
ticn to violent tactics in political debate.

THE SLEEPING.CAR TRAGEDY.

The shocking tragedy on Pennsylvania train, in
which young woman waking from dream under
the impression that her mother was burglar shot
and killed her, is unusual but not an unprecedent-
ed accident. Newspapers not nfrequently print ac-
counts Of similar tragedies.
The moral is easy to draw. The pistol-carrying
habit is to blame for the happening If there is any
place where woman does not need revolver it is
on railroad train. What could persuade woman
in her right mind to sleep with pistol under her
pillow in Pullman is beyond comprehension.

Former President General
Throws Hat Into Ring in
North Carolina.

Mrs. Donald Mclean. former presi-
dent general of the D. A. r.. has
thrown her hat into the ring. North
Carolina friends of Mrs. Mclean at
tending the L. D. c. convention in this
city today announced her candidacy for
third term as president of the Daugh-
ters, and said that Mrs. Mclean. at a
recent meeting of the North Carolina
Daughters, publicly admitted her cand-
dacy.
The announcement will be read with
much interest by local ID. A. r. men,

society here for the Confederate gather

concerns the candidates. OF Mrs. John
Miller Horton and Mrs. Charles T.
Bryan.
Prospect OF the candidacy OF Mrs. Nc
Lean Is now understood by the friends
OF Mrs. william Cumming story to be
the reason for Mrs. Scotts non-partisan
! declaration at IA recent board meeting.
Mrs. McLean's strength as candi-
date is debatable matter. and while
! even her warmest friends here admit
that she has lost some Of her old time
, following, yet It Is believed she will be
able to draw considerably from the
ranks of Mrs. Horizons and Mrs.
