Quotes Sir Edward Grey.
In support of his assertion Senator
Hitchcock read an extract from speech
by Sir Edward Grey. secretary Of state
for foreign affairs. in the house OF COM
mons March Il last. when he said:
But. supposing it tooln place, and two
OF the greatest nations in the world were
to make it clear to the whole world that

be one which would be bound to have
beneficial consequences. 1t Is true that
the two nations who did that might still
be exposed to an attack from third ma

agreement I think II would probably lead
to their following it up by an agreement
that they would join each other in any
case in which one only had a quarrel with
third party by which arbitration was
refused"
Thinks Language Significant.
"Mr. President, that is very significant
language" the senator resumed. holding
the document aloft. "It would be sig

AT the time those words of Sir Edward
Grey were strained, and they are strained
even today, as all the world knows, and
the talk Of possible war between Great
Britain and Germany Is almost constant
In both those countries. When, therefore,
Sir Edward Grey referred to the possi-

LIVE INDIAN IS NOW
REALLY GOOD INDIAN
Supt. Friedman of the Carlisle
School Says SO in His
Report.

The American Indian is finding himself.
He is rapidly taking his place with the
white man as good citizen, true
patriot. a self-respecting and self-support-
ing workman and a Christian. So Supt.
Friedman of the Carlisle Indian School
says in his report just made to the COM
missioner of Indian affairs. The docu-
ment, which is printed at the Carlisle
school. is regarded in departmental circles
as one of the neatest pieces of printing
ever gotten out by the government, when
the question of reports is considered 49,,
Continuing. Mr.. Friedman says that
there is great gap between the aborig-
inal American of the days Of Longfellow
and Cooper, with primitiveness and saw
agery surrounding him. The Indian of to-
day. he declares. has put aside petty war
fare and intertribal strife and Is forsak-
ing the roaming from place to place, for
the farm and the workshop, and building
a permanent home. which is each year
better furnished and more sanitary.
Mingling on Terms Of Amity.
He is now mingiing with the neigh
boring whites on terms of amity,' the
| report continues, ''and becomes each year
more integrally part Of American citi-
zenry. While at first the benefits of edu-
cation were rarely recognized by the In
dian himself. and were usually under
| estimated by the whites. 1t is being gener-
ally accepted that by means OF thorough
education. and because of its influence as
a developing factor, the Indian Is being re-
deemed from the old ways Of Incidence
and superstition, to a capable, Self-suS-
| tanning individual, differing little except
in physical characteristics from the white
man.
while it was the custom number
OF years ago to attribute every crime
and every offense against the law and
against civilized custom to educated
Indians, 1t is rare occurrence now
adays to find a graduate Of govern
ment school charged with the breaking
Of his country's laws.
Education Of Right Sort.
THE nation is rapidly waking to the
fact that education Of the right sort,
which teaches the elements Of knowl-
edge. which. does not forget the moral
nature, and which gives thorough in
struction and training in some vocas
tional activity. is responsible to a very
large extent for the progress which the
the Indian on the reservation is more
productive and Industrious. Hundreds
of Indians have left the reservation
and are taking their places in white
communities as respected citizens and
| competent workmen. They are in pro-
fessions, In the trades; In the busy
marts Of commercial life, In the gov
honored missionaries IN the Indian
field have Indian blood and were
trained and educated In the govern

NO BOXING LESSONS :
FOR WASHINGTON GIRLS
School Officials Opposed to In
PRODUCING 1t as Physical
Culture Course.

Teach girls In the high and normal
schools boxing? Well, l hardly think So.
That expresses the general attitude of
the school officials today when asked
whether they thought it would be q good
plan to introduce the manly art among
the young women of Washington. Yes,
they were in favor Of physical culture and
wanted to see the girls courageous. but
yes, 1t was a good idea, an excellent one.
in fact, but And there the matter
stood.
A dispatch recently received here from
Los Angeles. Cal, told how the girls Of
the schools there had been in the habit
Of donning boxing gloves in spare mo-
ments and making feminin John rs
stopped them. The dispatch was the
cause Of the discussion at school head
quarters today.
Would Scratch, Anyhow.
What would be the use Of teaching the
girls how to boxT inquired A. T. Stuart,
director OF intermediate instruction. with
q twinkle in his eye. ''They wouldn't
stick to the rules If they got in real
fght-they'd scratch. And then suppose
one girl was to twist another's nose out
Of shape? OF course. boxing might be a
good thing physically, but I'm not in
favor of it for our girls"
Asst. Supt. Ernest l.. Thurston smiled
broadly when the subject was brought to
his attention, but "reniged' on answering
1t, remarking. IT think in a question Of a
new policy like this it should be left to
the superintendent"
Bruce Is Against It.
Roscoe c. Bruce, assistant superinten-
dent for colored schools. also went on
record as being against boxing by girls.
NO. said he.' Il don't really think II
would be advisable"
Boxing by girls would have both
good and bad points. of course, it was
pointed out. Cases have occurred
where young women have more than
protected themselves from 'mashers"
by being we'll versed in the manly
art !"

Hopeful Of Reciprocity.

Declaring that 'the business experience
Of the country now points to the policy
OF a lower tariff and reciprocity as the
agency most surely conducive to our
national progress" Gov. Foss said:
1--WE shall establish reciprocity with
Canada as soon as this principle Is ap-
preached In its proper relation to general
tariff reduction, and In q manner which
the common sense OF both peoples shall
approve. Reciprocal trade relations
with other countries. not only on the
North and South American continents.
but also throughout the rest or the world.
are equally necessary"
Direct Election Of Senator'S.
Gov. Foss advocated the direct cleo
ton OF United States senator's and Z,
law enabling the voters to express
their choice of candidates for nomina-
ton for President and Vice President.
He also recommended that the legisla-
ture prohibit all participation by cor
porations In elections.
The governor asked that provision
be made for submitting the question or
woman suffrage to the voters.
Tomorrow the legislative session Of
1919 will begin.

from the tank furnishes water for fire
protection and irrigation, as well as
for domestic purposes. Water to oper-
ate the ram is taken from the waste
tiume at the light plant.
An attempt was made recently tc
raft some 1000 feet Of lumber down
the Snake river from Pittsburg to the
mouth of Wolf creek. The lumber was
being taken down the river for the Sal

the creek was reached it was discov
