INDIANS MAKING PROGRESS.

We have still in the United
States something over $4,000 In
dians on reservations and the gov
ernment is giving them every pos
sible care. The Indian children
have the benefit of 800 schools and
these are operated In rs states. How
long the government will continue
to provide for the red man and his
children is a problem not easy to
answer. There is abroad an impress
sion that our red tribes are not be-
coming civilized as rapidly as they
should. This is wrong. The schools
are doing good work for the Indian
boys and girls and visit what tribe
you will 1t will be found thai they
are adopting the ways OF the white
man and take to farming quite ma
turally. Nothing did the Indian &C
much good as to have the buffalo and
other wild game disappear. II made
II necessary for him TO learn how to
take care OF himself and family
Uncle Sam was disposed to help this
class and he provided many neces-
saries in the way OF cattle and farm
machinery as we'll as teachers to
show him how TO make a living on
the farm. A Few years more and
these wards OF the nation will be sell
supporting in every particular.

In 1904 Roosevelt was nominated
by acclamation on the first ballot and
in the democratic convention Alton
B. Parker was also nominated on the
first ballot. In 1908 William Howard
Taft was nominated by the republi-
can convention on the first ballot and
that same year William J. Bryan was
nominated by the democrats on the
first ballot. In 1912 President Taft
was nominated on the frst ballot by
the republicans and It yet remains to
e seen who will be nominated by the
democrats at Baltimore by the con
yentlon now in session, and how many
ballots will be required to determine
the result. II now looks as II the his
tory OF the republican convention is
TO be repeated by the democrats at
Baltimore, but at this hour It is all
guess work. Our United Press leased
wire reports will enable our readers

happen.

A GREAT POLITICAL FOLLY.

The denomination OF the cut and
dried ticket at Chicago is considered
by most newspapers as a foolish pro-
eeding. The Mediord Sun of yester-
day voices public sentiment when 1t
says:
THE most amazing thing about
this most amazing convention is It's
political stupidity. A baby in arms
could have told them the result Of
0razenly running the steam roller
when a megaphone artist had pro
2eeded the procession to tell the peo-
pie what was about to happen to
hem. The only explanation is that a
majority OF those in power would
sather accept political suicide than
Teddy.
And there you are. We have been
making history the last few days and
the last chapter was started several
months ago.
Now the democrats will have their
try at 1t. Out OF the great mix-up a
progressive party will be formed.
Whether It will be headed by Teddy
or LaFollette, Wilson, Bryan or Sam
Jones, 1t is safe to predict that It will
not put itself on record as favoring
machine rule over popular rule, or
write a platform that might have
been considered anhquated when Co
lumbus discovered America"

1T MAY BRING DEFEAT.

The denomination OF William How
ard Taft for president OF the United
States by the republican national con
vention is certainly a great disap-
polntment to a majority Of the voters
q seventeen progressive republican
states When we take out the solid
south and the other states which are
always found In the democratic
column It will be seen that MIR. Taft
has by no means an easy road to sue
cess. The people-that is the repub-
lican voters, wanted neither Taft nor
Roosevelt, but some man who had not
made himself obnoxious to the rank
and file OF the party.
The Courier on May the 5th came
out editorially and advised that both
OF these candidates be dropped for
the reason that they had disgraced
the high office that one was holding
and that the other had occupied. 1t
asked that a suitable candidate
worthy Of the party be nominated at
Chicago. This idea became the desir 2
OF majority OF republicans but the
machine which controlled the con-
vention carried out their plans and
purpose and II the party suffers de-
feat they will be responsible for It. 1t
10 the general opinion OF the best
posted men that MIR Taft will not be
elected, and what is more, that the
republican party will suffer disrup-
lion because OF the unwise action Of
the men who controlled the conven-
tion.

ABOUT NATIONAL CONVENTIONS.

ABOUT NATIONAL CONVENTIONS.
The June national conventions his
year have been and still are OF tn ,
Very highest Importance to the peo-
ole OF the entire country. Ths re-
publican gathering at Chicago was a
noted event and was the largest con-
Tentlon that ever had been held by
either Of our political parties.
Historically considered the Chicago
convention outranks all others as far
as dissensions among the delegates
are concerned. When Greek meet
Greek, then comes the tug OF war. ="
Each OF the contending parties met
foemen worthy OF their steel and the
result will be momentous in the po-
litical history of our country. In that
convention, entered the wedge which
Is to divide the two elements of the
party. The conservatives (reaction-
aries entered the wedge and the pro
gressives (insurgents) drove It home
and split the republican organization
which has so long ruled the country.
In the line OF history, let us go
back to that other year, that is 1860,
which resulted in the baptism and vic
tory of the republican party which
had haan hor, s~..- .--~-- N~'~-o That
year was also responsible for the dis
ruption or split in the Democrat.
party by and through which it was
defeated in the fall election. As re-
lated in history, it is interesting to
note that il has been "a years since
more than FIVE ballots we're required
to nominate a candidate in the con
vention of either OF the two great
parties.
The democratic convention in 1860
holds the record, 90 ballots being re-
quired to nominate Douglas. As far
back as 1852, however, the democrats
took 49 ballots to nominate Franklin
Pierce In 1856, Buchanan was
named or the seventeenth ballot, and
in 1868 1t required 22 ballots to name
Seymour The highest number in
any other democratic convention.
however, was only nine, when Polk
was named in 1874
In the republican party the CON
venion Of 1850 holds the record In
that convention SO ballots were taken
before Garfield was nominated. The
next highest was in the convention
ct 1883, when Harrison was named
on the eighth ballot. In 1876 HAYES
was named on the seventh ballot
1t required four ballots to name
Blaine in 1884, and FIVE to name Bry-
an in the democratic convention OF
1886 Lincoln was named on the
third ballot in 1850 and re-nominated
on the FIRST ballot in 1854. receiving
