Washington, Feb. S.-A twentieth
century story of AngloSaxon exploit
tation of South American Indians,
rivaling as a narrative Of heartless
cruelty tales which have come down
from the old Spanish captains, was
laid bare Friday in a special state
department report which President
Taft transmitted to Congress. The
present-day victims of a medieval
system of barbarous oppression are
the Indian tribes of Putumayo district
in Peru. It is shown in the report
that these helpless people have been
driven to their death before the lash
welded by the Peruvian Amazon
Company, an English concern which
works the rubber fields in the Upper
Amazon country.
Little hope for the relief of the long
suffering Indians is held out in the
report, for the Putumayo region is
remote from the seat Of Peruvian gov

ican consul at Iquitos, Peru, who

travesty on justice which exists in the
rubber section is entirely in the hands
of the rubber company's section chiefs.
It Is the Putumayo country's remote
ness from the Peruvian capital, from
all governmental authority that has
left the natives entirely at the mercy
of the company, according to tie re-
port. The Andes form an almost ita-
passible barrier to the westward, while
to reach the outside world through the
Atlantic Ocean river craft must ira

the Amazon. Railroads are unknown

Albert Peters, one Of the early day
residents Of the east part OF the coun-
ty, was here Tuesday looking after
business matters and visiting with
old friends. Mr.. Peters has been a
resident of Barton county for the
past thirty-five years and says the
past season has been one Of the very
worst he ever experienced in all that
time. His farm hes along the river
southeast Of Ellinwood, and it was
about the first time in all those
years that he had a total failure ON
his corn and hay crops. Last year
he put up eight big stacks Of hay
on his meadow, and this year of Of
the whole field be only had about
half Of a small stack. But he Is
not IN the least discouraged and says
the present outlook is se fine as he
ever saw IN the state, and believes
that the crop next year viii make
up for the failure Of this year.

COUNTY SAID TO FARMERS

State aid for farmers is a well-estabished
idea, and now North Dakota's legislature has
passed an act providing for county aid and
thus lccalizing the work There is much of in
terest to Hawaii in this plan.
North Dakota's legislature has passed bill
to permit county commissioners at their dis
erection to levy halfmll tax for the county
agricultural demonstration work on lines
somewhat similar to that which has been un-
dertaken i'm the south under the auspices of
the federal government The governor is eX-
pected to sign it.
In the Minneapolis legislature measure of
almost identical character was introduced and
the farmers of the state, as well as the Bank
ers' association, urged it's passage.
From Oregon comes word that a measure for
wider agricultural work has passed both
houses there The bill provides: First, an
appropriation of $25,000 year for agricul-
tural extension work. second, $1,000 Of state
money for field man in each county under
the supervision of the agricultural college;
third, appropriations to match contingent gov
crDment appropriations, making a total of
$4,000 available annually for field work in
the state; fourth, $4,000 for salaries and tray-
cling expenses of two assistants to the state
superintendent of schools, who are to travel
over the state and install agricultural courses
in the high schools.
If all the contingencies involved lin these
appropriations are met Oregon vii, soon be
expanding nearly $250,OO0 annually to carry
agricultural education to the farms.

WHAT THE CHICAGO WOMEN DID

Chicago clubwomen, eager to see their city
made more beautiful and inviting, did not adopt
the attitude of militants. They began cru.
SADIE, not against bilboarls and bnsiness-houses
but against dirt and diseasebreeding germs.
The Women's City club, working in league
with the health department, has just finished a
''clean-up week" and it was eminently success
full. To the objection that no such movement
could be successful in city of several million
people, the women of Chicago answered by di-
yiding the city into districts and the work
among themselves. They attacked vacant lots,
back-yards, shacks, tenement houses and other
spots where dirt flourished. The women super
intended the work in the various wards, the
city's health and sanitary forces laboring under
their command. 1t was the women who organ
lied the work among the schoolchldren, handing
out circulars in dozen languages and supervis-
ing the squads of children who helped clean up
after school hours.
Mayor Harrison says that the women's fight
against dirt and the spirit of cooperation With
the municipal authorities shown by them has
reused the public to action.
Honolulu's cleanup days have been very sue
cessful. This city had one in 1911 and one in
1872 Here is movement in which all can par
ticipate, which is not an attack on legitimate
business, and which is potent factor in beauti-

While Walsh and Newlands will probably vote
against free sugar, there is no certain indication
as to what their stand On the sugar tariff may
be. Walsh may consent to a low tariff New
lands may agree to plan that could not pos
sibly be acceptable to the representatives of the
industry.
There is plenty of cause for rejoicing, at any
rate, over the outlook. 1t is certain that the

lis the whole tariff revision program; the loss

MAHAN's VIEW OF ASSIMILATION

Rear-admiral A. T. Mahan, q. S. n, the dis
tinguished writer on international topics, comes
to the conclusion that the japanese race is I'M
assmilable with our own. Writing in the New
York Sun he says:
PERSONALLY am satisfied that considerations
of high national necessity justify the objection
of our people to the introduction of a race ele-
ment which from its very force and fibre, cou-
pied with a very long tradition of ideals and
characteristics alien to our own, cannot be as
simulated. If they were essentially inferior they
might be manageable, as is the negro. The root
of the trouble lies not in any inferority, but in
their strength and in the ingrained essential diff
ferentation which that strength will perpetu-

DUPONT CLUB
SHOOTS HIGHLAND
OVER CITY TRAPS

The DUPONT Gun Club will meet the
Highland Gun Club this afternoon
over the dupont traps in the NTH
match OF the Philadelphia Trapshoot-
ers League. The dupont club is lead
ing the race. but a single bad match
at any time and the winning by one Of
the second teams would place the
local team in the ditch Two Phila-
delphia teams are only one point be-
hind They are the s. S Whites. who
clinchcd the pennant last year. and
the Meadow Springs Club. The local
cracks have tho Highland Gun Club as
their attraction and should the High
landers win. the S. s. Whites take
their match with Camden and the
Meadow Springs follow suit with
Lansdale then this would practically
tie up the race On the Other hand,
however. should the duponts beat
their Quaker brothers and the two
Philadelphia teams lose, then the Del
aware shooters could not lose the
championship, providing. OF course,
they win their final test in May with
the Meadow Springs gunner.
The following is the program for to-
day: Highland, at DUPONT; Meadow
Springs VS.. Lansdale. Camden, az
