THE PERUVIAN HORRORS.

If seems to be only too well authenti-
rated, BIZ English investigations made
pp American initiative, that there have
beep In the Peruvian uplands OF the
Amazon Valley atrocious cruelties prac-
tised upon Indians to extort from them
sbe largest possible production OF pre-
cions rubber, Just as in the Congo, but
prohably even worse than those OF the
Belgian taskmasters. The radical diff
ference between the two cases Is, how
ever. that the Congo was guaranteed
neutral state over which the powers
had some right of control-though they
failed 10 exercise it--while Peru Is as
completely Independent as any other
nation Of the world.
The explanation Of the outrages Is to
be found In the strong inclination
which men have to domineer over and
abuse an inferior or independent race
or even individuals Of that description,
when they have opportunity TO do so
apart from public observation. Other
examples have been seen Ia the Congo,
I'm German Southwest Africa and In
prisons and asylums in our own land.
In Peru every condition provocative OF
such conduct exists, including one OF
Importance which is not always found
elsewhere That is, q legal discrimi-
nation which puts the Indians at hope
less disadvantage in courts Of Justice
IL An Indian brings suit or makes COM
plaint against white man he must
deposit with the court the sum OF SO
or his suit will be disregarded and
such q sum Is quite beyond the reach
of the vast majority OF Indians. More
over. II an Indian makes complaint
and cannot deposit that sum, or hay-
ing deposited it fails to make good mis-
charges and win his case, the accused
NAV bring action for libel against him
and have him sent TO prison for year.
Under such a SYSTEM there is little hope
OF Justice for I'll treated Indians In the
remote Amazonian forests.
The world cannot remain quiet under
the revelations which have been made
II must exert all available moral and
diplomatic influence upon Peru for the
abatement OF the scandal aud il seems
impossible that Peru should be insensi-
BILE 10 that influence. Peru has from
the beginning been one OF the most In
telligent, liberal and progressive of all
the South American countries, and 1t

WHERE GRASS Is FREE.
TO the Editor Of The Tribune.

10 the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Several of us who read the story
OF the poor New York woman with a
sick baby who was fined for trespassmS
on a Central Park grass plot would Ike
to interview those three fools, viz, the
policeman who arrested her, the Park
Commissioner and that ignoramus the
magistrate who fined her This Is a
case where the recall would work
to the queens taste IL that humsne
probation officer who got the fine re-
mitted had used a good sized elm cluh
1t would have had more lasting results.
IL almost makes a man hate his country.
And all for few blades OF grass, that
God gave ALL Invite those hlghbrows out
West. We can teach them what real
men are. and that grass is free. and IL
trodden down Is not ashamed TO grow
again. GEORGE r.. BARTHOLOMEW.

Would Invoke State Aid to
Make Farming Profitable

One of the most business-like of
the projects which Houchin would
undertake as Governor is the check
ing of the loss Of population in the
rural districts of the State. This
increasing drain of the likelihood of
the rural community Is chiefly
caused by the discomfort Of the
young folks with farm life. Deem
ing the farming industry not sufii-
GENTLY remuneratiye and finding
farm life devoid Of special charm,
thousands Of young persons of both
sexes migrate annually from the
country to the city. TO put an eff
fectual check on this life-sapping
exodus Houchin, as Governor,
would invoke state aid to make
farming more profitable and, by
this and other means, to increase
the social attractions of rural life
and induce the younger generations
to adopt agriculture and the kindred
industries as their vocation. Houch-
In evidently Is in accord with the
sentiment to tersely expressed by
Goldsmith In this couplet from "The
Deserted Village:
"An honest peasantry, their coun.
try's pride.
When once destroyed, can never
be supplied
