N. j., where he spoke in the nigh school, is that
Uncle Toms Cabin" has done more harm than
any other book ever written; that it msrepresented
the condition Of the negro before the civil war,
and that much Of the bitter feeling left in the Sour,
IS the result Of that war was due to Mrs. Stoves
masterpiece. The only conclusion to be drawn Is
that IL Mr.. Smith had been in Mrs. Stoves place he
would have pictured the men who sold negroes At
the block as models Of humanity and condemned mon
like Booker T. Washington to remain mere chattels.
BY the same TOKEN Julia Ward Howe's Battle
Hymn Of the Republic" must be the most harmful
poem ever written. 1t keyed up the spirit aroused
by Uncle Toms Cabin" Nothing more baleful
could have occurred at that time, with the possible
exception Of Lincolns emancipation proclamation.
In the course Of time we may expect from this
talented painter writer, and engineer, but mis-
guided historian, broadside against the Balkan
states for their modern crusade and their liberation

INDEED, THE POOR INDIAN.

THE poor Indian is no far-fetched term. This
does not refer much to his wealth to his health
The death rate among the Governments Indian wards
on the Western reservations is thirty-Rve thou
sand and that 80 per cent Of the mortality is due to
tuberculosis. The great white plague" really knows
no color line, and the trouble among the Indians is
that for want Of sufficient medical attention, they
easily fall prey to this commonest Of diseases.
In former days the Indians were favored by out
door life. Today, huddled in towns and camps they
often suffer from lack OF proper food and education
Worst Of all, the sick are not separated from the
well. The room is used for cooking, eating and
sleeping. The dreadful conditions found in the
sms of the big cities duplicated, and they will
continue to be, according to the statement made by
the superintendent Of the Carlisle School, until Con.
gress pays more attention to the Indians health.

UNDERWOOD OFTEN
GUEST OF RYAN
His Friends Confess Intimacy
Which Public Hadn't
Suspected.

Uproar among the House Democrats
over the fact that Majority Leader
Underwood attended a dinner at the
home Of Thomas Fortune Ryan. Of New
York, last Wednesday night, a dinner
attended by former Senator Aldrich,
Senator Bailey. and numerous big
fnanciers. has not yet subsided.
Informal conferences among pro-
gressive Democrats Of the House still
are being held over 1t, and the con-
test over the places on the Ways and
Means Committee which will be va
cant after March I Is getting sharper.
Criticism Of Mr.. Underwood continues.
Efforts will be made to take from the
Ways and Means Committee the pow.
er to name the committees.
Mr.. Underwood thus far has made
no comment on the dinner. His friends
are saying he often has been a guest
at the Ryan home. and that he attend
ed the dinner simply as he would have
attended any other social event.

ELlOTs ADVICE TO WILSON.

President Eliot is entitled to get a respectful
hearing from Governor Wilson on the subject OF
appointments to Office. DR.. Eliot gave him the full
benefit of his support in the Presidential campaign,
and now, in pressing his ideas for the Government
service, he has the entire backing Of the National
Civil Service Reform League.
FIJI all Government offices the merit sys-
tenn through careful. original selections and
careful promotions. and no civil servant Is un-
der obligations to q patron. Require all civil
servants to abstain from partisan political ac-
tivty, and there will be no Office -holders' man
agement either Of nominations or elections
This is DR.. Elot's platform, and Governor Wilson
cannot throw it into the waste basket without loss
OF dignity. He cannot evade meeting the issue in
some way. Wilson himself has been for years mem.
ber Of the National Civil Service Reform Associa-
tion. He has stood for its principles and supported
Its propaganda. He may consider that taking Offices
out of politics this extent is pure theory But he
has laid claim to idealsm in politics. Whether he is
to be ideal practical will play considerable part
in mis- Administration.
On the one side there is the 10000 Democrats de.
manding $50 900 worth Of Offices to be filled; on
the other side the civil service reformers.

BLEASE AND HIS PEOPLE.

IF the governors conference had not passed the
resolution it did in rebuke Of Con-
stitution" Blease, condemning the mob law which
the South Carolina governor had defended, it would
have lodged an imperative duty. No governor TAX
ing such stand, as matter Of fact should be per-
mitted to sit in the council. The four Northern and
Southern governors who voted against the anti-mob
law resolutions showed too-iee sense Of courtesy
to one of their number who brought the reproach it
carries down upon himself.
Yet it cannot be denied that the views Of the
people Of South Carolina are fairly we'll represented
by Cole Blease in his lawlessness They knew where
he stood on lynching when they reelected him.
While there can be nothing but contempt for gov
ernor who hous the laws he is sworn to enforce, he
must be credited with certain kind Of courage in
publicly expressing what is tactily the policy Of nu.
merous Southern governors though few care to 60 to
the lengths he does upon the public record. They
prefer to let lynching 60 on and they are content
with hypocritical attempts to keep their public rec
ords straight.

WAR IN THE AIR AND THE TREN CHEs

As the peace Of Sofa becomes more distinctly
outlined the alert military historian begins totng
up lessons Of the war. The aeroplane, first on the
list did not in the six short weeks Of fighting prove
revolutionary in changing methods Of warfare. 1t
was Of more value in scouting than as an agent Of
destruction. Over thirty planes were in use all told,
flying at altitude Of from 900 to 500 feet, only
one Of the covey being struck by bullets seriously
enough to put it out of commission.
Bomb throwing was practiced and fires we're set
by the Balkan allies particularly in Adrianople, but
not sufficient accuracy from heights was shown t.
make them a menace to small bodies of troops or
to batteries.
Frederick Palmers judgment is that to the United
States the important lesson is the need by soldiers
Of trenchng tools ready for in making over, and
the need Of ample field artillery.
